Yeah.........We Have Snow

I realize many of you in the colder states suffer snow a lot, but we haven't had a cold winter in three years and I love the first snow.

If you don't have it very often, it's nice to see it once in a while!! In the part of Indiana where I live, we usually get quite a bit each winter. However, this winter, we have only had maybe an inch total.....so far! I hope I didn't jinx it....lol.

Living in the snow belt along Lake Erie, we've had our share of snow off and on this winter, but it really hasn't been very bad. In fact, today the snow is melting, the sun is out, and it's around 40 degrees. Tomorrow it's going to rain, but the high is supposed to be 60! (You can have as much of our snow as you want!)

It must be nice if you don't have now very often. A winter treat, enjoy it. My fingers and toes are crossed now...we haven't had any big snow at all this year. We've had few snow falls that didn't amount to much, 3 or 4 inches. I hope our luck holds.

Once upon a time, I loooovveed snow and winter was my favorite season. All it took was one bad slip. Ouch! I still love to look at the first snow fall, especially on the trees.

My son in WA just sent me a pic of the cars stuck in the snow on his street. Snow would be fine if no one had to be on the road.

Two peas, I do miss snow: I was always like a little kid when it snowed-I think I was more excited than my kids were when there was no school!

I'm coming to visit today: I'm bringing quintessential hot chocolate and some gooey hot cinnamon buns! Oh, dinner, you ask? OK! How about my pot roast stew made with Chuck roast and lots of yummy vegetables? Sounds good to me!

Of course we should make cookies....or a nice Apple pie: nothing makes a house a home like Apple pie!

The best part about this??? Zero calories!!

Have a great day

Hugs,

We've dodged some pretty big bullets. Like the nor'easter a couple of weeks ago that could have easily dumped 20" of snow on us. And several other rain storms which could have been snow.

We've had an unusually mild winter. Had a couple days of really cold weather, but then the temps would rebound and it would be close to a high of 50 degrees. Even today it's going up to 47. Woo hoo

Hoping I don't jinx the weather....lol. But I'm okay with this type of winter. It wouldn't bother me if I never saw another flake of snow

Enjoy yours!

I no sooner posted this picture that we lost power. Just came on at 4:00. I waited a couple of hours after dh went to work, then finally hooked up the generator. No power, no internet. Ugh. Anyway, I texted my neighbors after I got the generator going and told them to come down for breakfast and coffee and bring their phones or whatever else needed to be charged. My dh got home about 3:45, loaded up three empty gas cans, headed to the gas station, and he wasn't even to the end of the road and the power came on. Then, when I started the generator this morning the furnace wasn't working right, I knew right away that it was because we hadn't cleaned the filter recently. So, I'm in the basement with a flashlight trying to get the filter out to wash. No lights there because our generator only supplies our main floor. Finally, got that done and put back together. So, did I build a snowman? No, darnit !!
