Hello again. How are you all doing?
I just looked out the window to see that it has been snowing.
What we had got with that bad storm had finally mostly gone away. But now the roads are covered, and it will be a mess to drive in all over again. I can't tell how much is down since it is dark....but I know it is covered. I am so over this winter season. If we never had it again, I would be fine with that. I know some of you here can agree.
Those who like snow and winter, we'll just have to agree to disagree.
Sharing an art piece that has to do with snow and winter.....hope you all like!

Many people seem to have a favorite season. Unfortunately, even the warmer places to live have a ton of weather problems as well--my daughter and her family live in Florida. Yes, they don't have snow where they are. But they have had several hurricanes and bad, bad floods. They moved to an area now that is out of the high risk flood area--but home insurance in Florida now is wild. The summers are so terribly hot and humid in the daytime, they wait until evening to spend much time outside. Plus, Florida has every single creepy crawly creature known to mankind, and most people have to learn to deal with that, too.
I guess I am lucky, I have lived in many places, the deep south, the far north, so I am used to all weathers now. I hope you do not get too much snow.

Well I am not dumb, I know other places have their own issues. I don't think I would choose Florida with all the bugs...I hate bugs as much as the snow. I wouldn't mind the heat and humidity though, I would rather that than the freezing cold winters here.
That's good you have dealt with different kinds of weather...so you are used to them....
I sure hope we don't...it would be the third weekend in a row that we got snow...well I guess it technically is

For your sake, I hope it doesn't hit your area for the weekend. I know it can be hard to drive on really bad roads. I never worry about my own driving on snow, but no one likes driving on ice. Just be safe!

I like winter, it is 10x better than summer here, but I do not especially enjoy blizzards. The one we had a couple of years ago was horrendous and we lost power for 3 days. I sure hope there is not a re run of that this year as we are slated to get more snow than usual.

Well I would say summer is 10x better than the winter here. I don't think I would survive no power for 3 days. Hopefully that doesn't happen there again. And I hope we don't get much more snow this winter.

I'm sorry it's snowing again. You didn't tell it to come here so I could enjoy it.
I love your penguin.

@MommyOfEli2013 I've noticed the weather does what it wants to, not what you want it to.

@just4him Oh I learned that a long time ago! But we can still hope it would do what we want, and be upset if it does something we don't want

Oh I did tell it to go to someone that wants it...but it didn't listen. I am just glad it was not a whole bunch this time. Doubt even an inch.
Glad you like the penguin, I made more of them to share

I've never had to drive on snow, but I can imagine in must be a pain. I'm not a winter fan, I dislike having to put on so much clothes, grrr. Hopefully they clean up the roads a bit before you have to drive.
And that penguin looks very cute, love it, thanks!

First, glad you like the penguin. Second, that's good you never had to drive in snow....it can be very dangerous. Not only the chance of getting stuck, but sliding all over the roads. yes....short and sandal weather all year would be nice.
