OK, it was fun for a while. Beautiful, really.
But we haven’t seen the ground in weeks and the snow just keeps coming.
It’s kind of funny actually. This is our first winter in about a dozen years – we just moved back up from the Sunshine State.
We were all excited about experiencing winter again after so long in Florida’s sub-tropical climate. Our youngest son had never seen snow and he couldn’t wait! We could go sledding and skiing and have snowball fights and build a snowman. We fantasized about cold winter evenings spent snuggled up on the couch in a big blanket with a hot mug of cocoa. Anything to break the monotony of perpetual sunshine and humidity (I know it sounds weird, but you really do get tired of it being so sunny – and HOT).
We got exactly what we wished for. We moved in on a Wednesday and it started snowing that Friday! And it really hasn’t stopped for more than 24 hours at a time since.
Truth be told, we love it! But we are beginning to wonder if we haven’t stumbled into the next ice age!

While it hasn’t snowed here (I live in Florida), it’s been really, really COLD! I moved here from NY to get out of the snow/cold/ice/blizzard trauma- and there were a few weeks where it was actually warmer in NY than Florida…now THAT is messed up!
