I Shouldn't Put This In Writing But.....................

CrazyKittyLvr2 — Sun, 03 Jan 2021 22:05:13 GMT

It is beautiful out. There, I can't deny I said it about snow. I hate snow. Snow is a 4 letter word.

It started snowing in earnest about an hour ago. It is one of the heavy snow that hangs on everything. The trees are gorgeous.

I say that as I still have power. If that pretty snow takes wires down I will be saying other4 letter words.

For now, I'm going to turn on the porch light and go out and look at it.

I'm envious as I love snow. It is beautiful as it covers our and Mother Nature's imperfections.

I agree. It's very pretty. But when I think about my husband having to go out and get rid of it all, it kinda changes my perception. And I don't DARE tell him I like it. {*_*}

It is pretty to look at on the trees. So hard to get around in though.

It is beautiful.

I work at home & DH is newly retired. I'm trying to teach DH to just look at the beauty of the snow & be thankful no snowblowing or shoveling.

When I'm safely inside, and don't have to go anywhere, I like it. It's blizzard conditions, followed by below zero temps, that I absolutely hate. Living in the Great Lakes area, I've had my share of those winters.

I LOVE the winter and the snow!

Sadly, we don't get much winter at all anymore. So far, the only snows have been just a smattering...enough to barely cover for less than an inch.

Some days it's 50 degrees. Never used to be like that here in winter.

The trees are beautiful here too with the snow hanging on the limbs. The snow was just the right consistency to stick. As long as I don’t have to drive on ice I don’t mind driving on the snow. I have my snow tires on!

@January121 I'm with you. I'm at the point where it's not even pretty.

I live south of Buffalo in the snow belt. Need i say more?

@CrazyKittyLvr2 - I truly miss the snow. Love snow! It smells so clean and fresh. And, it always seems so calming, to me anyway.

Not this year, but when we go to NJ & NY, I always pray there will be snow.

Last week, my granddaughter FaceTime'd me when they had snow and asked if I wanted to see it, lol. I told her to make snow angels and a snowman and send me pics - she's 5 and was so excited.

@CrazyKittyLvr2 I LOVE snow! We're just south of you and have all rain! Bummer! Enjoy, and I hope you don't lose power.

@CrazyKittyLvr2

My grandmother used to say that all the time.

"Snow is a four letter word"

and if we started to say its going to snow she would say shhh and stop us before we could even say it.

For me, I love it so much and I say bring it on!

Of course if we don't have to drive in it or have family that do. Or if it turns into ice and freezing rain.

Enjoy the beauty!

I'm so envious!

When I left CT in 1989 to relocate to AZ it was because the year before I suffered my worst blizzard experience since moving there in 1972.

I was stuck in traffic as, unexpectedly, the snow that was predicted to be 2-4 inches, began picking up speed and turned into a BLIZZARD! All traffic stalled, my windshield wipers stopped working and I had to act quickly. I got out of my car and started "directing traffic" to move one car at a time as best I could!

The snow continued to heavily come down (no cell phones in those days) and I knew my 9-yr-old daughter's school would have dropped her at home early so she was home alone. I also knew the power was sure to go out in the freezing cold.

We lived in a Hartford suburb and it took me 6 HOURS to finally get home to my dark, freezing house; however, my daughter was OK.

I made my mind up THAT DAY that I would relocate to a warmer cimate as I didn't have another blizzard in me! It took a while to get that done, but I've never looked back and, yes, when I hear the word "snow" I seize up emotionally!

Every summer here in AZ when I complain about the blistering heat I tell myself that it's preferable to living through another treacherous winter in the Northeast.

Yeah the freshly fallen snow is pretty to look at, yada yada yada. It's all fun and games, until you have to shovel the stuff off your driveway! 😡 Not a fan! Boo!!! Hiss!!!

That is such a lovely way of looking at it! Next time I'm cursing the snow, I'll think about that and it'll make it so much more beautiful!

@CrazyKittyLvr2 , I had the most gorgeous snowfall yesterday. I'm glad others are experiencing the magical beauty.

I don't understand people who really hate snow, continue to live in it? I don't like it, so I don't live in it. There are other places to live with no snow, and often cheaper to live there.

@Kachina624

I do like snow in the desert.

Even the tumbleweeds look good.
