I would LOVE to. just for a year to experience all of NY and its seasons. I could get MORE jeans and sweaters and boots and blankets and BF coats!

with each hot summer, I reallly do want to move further north, or at least spend part of the year in a cooler place.

it's really not that bad. It could be worse. sowal temps aren't usually all that far off really from my area of NY. Further north of me like 8-12 hrs it is brutally colder. I love my sweaters and boots too and my fuzzy sock collection. I enjoy winter too. There's nothing like going out for a sleigh ride, pink cheeks, some runny noses, then coming in and warming up by a big fireplace with some hot cocoa and putting your fleece on. Makes you feel alive. But by mid March I'm done. Ready for spring and sometimes it takes longer than I had hoped. If I could afford to, I would spend mid Feb through mid march in a temperate climate like Maui.

I was in front of Lily Pads in Grayton Beach this morning and saw this wintry site. (Sadly, I only had my cellphone camera with me, but it turned out OK.)



Stay warm!

I love winter too... I grew up in Illinois and northern Wisconsin, I miss all four seasons... Yes it gets cold and miserable and cabin fever gets really intense come february/march, but there's nothing more exhilarating to me than a cold day spent playing in the snow (skiing, sledding, ice skating) followed by a hot fire, hot chocolate, hot soup and a hot bath! :D

Of course, a hot day at the beach isn't bad either... :blush:

don't need winter for those, but they are comforting and lovely in winter!

I don't think I would have loved winter before good home insulation and heating systems were widely available (not so long ago, huh?).

I spent one christmas holiday in Chicago with friends. there was quite a bit of snow. it was cold cold cold! I remember bob sledding - a blast! leg warmers :blush:; big coats and warm hats, scarves and all; we ran everywhere we went from here to there (to get out of the cold); going into the bar and taking your layers of warm coats off, then remove your hat :eek: - HAT HAIR CITY! but no one cares.

but I would rather be by the fire.:cool:

Make that a double NO.

But I am glad this makes Toots so happy.

Counting the days until I sweat again.

I don't like the cold, but like everything on your list. I really like winter clothing, love coats, boots, hats and such.

I think I would like the cold better if I had a fireplace, I will never buy another house without one.

But thanks for sharing the fake one. :clap:

I'm actually opposed to naturally frozen water.

I believe that all frozen water should be manufactured and located in one of the following locations:

  • Coolers
  • Freezers
  • Blenders
  • My Drink
