Baby It's Cold Outside - what do you like about winter?

[Allifunn]

Ok..I admit it. And I will be there Friday.

YAY party at Toot's house!
I love my new Christmas present from my kids...it helps make the COLD nights bearable...a electric blanket!!! Thank you, Tootsie, for putting that bug in their ear! I don't know how I got along with out it...wonderful getting into a warm bed!

I walked on the beach Saturday morning and the sand sounded like snow under my boots...felt like the best of both worlds...it has gotten even colder since then.

My checkbook is ready for warmth... electric bill, I don't even want to see it next month

I love a fire in the winter, and thats about it

I love a new homemade soup just about every day, and knowing how many bugs die -- or at least don't reproduce quite as successfully here -- in cold weather. Lots and lots of hot tea all day long. Slower pace of life, going within, recharging at deep levels. Giving in to the urge to hibernate, at least some of the time. Wearing fuzzy pants and socks. The clarity of the air and the particular blue of the sky on certain cold days. Not sweating so much. Radiant floor heating and insulated window treatments. Hot rice socks to warm up my feet.

I enjoy winter days. Some are like a time warp where all one sees on the beach is sand and seagulls. (I want to tell johnrudy that I love the bridge avatar - cello?)

Winter is a great time for concerts and other cultural events.

Snowbirds have it figured out.

what a perfect description. the beach seems content, at peace, serene.

our winter is perfect for the snowbirds!

I'm with DD. The only good thing about winter is that my favorite two seasons, spring and summer, are not too far away.

This is gross, but I also hate the nosebleeds from the dry air in the house. Woke up in the middle of the night with one. Guess I need to turn on the portable humidifier and buy some Vaseline.

oh I agree - the lack of humidity in the house is terrible on sinuses. and I've got a cold now - yuck. definitely things that go on the don't like list.

try a netti pot with warm water & pinch of salt (maybe a drop of eucapyptus oil) - but you gotta use it regularly for it to help keep sinuses healthy. I don't like it, but I do it.

I forgot the thing I like most about winter, the Winter Olympics. Coming Feb. 12.

I will not sugar coat this in any way! I do not like winter at all. I like nothing about it, do you hear me? Nothing. I hate cold. I hate it. Supposed to snow here Thursday and the low on Saturday is 8 freaking degrees. I have to pray for strength to get through these winter months. I wish I was a bear and could hibernate. What I am is a grumpy, old fart that just wants Spring to get here PRONTO.

If you came and spent the week with me in my house, we would have a damn blast and you know it. fireplace and hangovers. and comfort food. and quick drives out to the Red Bar and the beach just to get out on the weekend. admit it.

okay - we're all kind of suffering in this severe cold. I admit I hate not being able to stand being outside for 2 minutes. today it was a little warm on my back porch and I worked out there packing away christmas. but that was only a brief period of warmth with the sun shining - early afternoon.

too cold for me right now.

Lynnie - I would adore the 2 day snow too. unfortunately (or fortunately) we don't get an hour snow here!

Two Day Snow this Thur! Bring booze, screw the eggs and milk!
