Oh, how I wish...!

I so wish spring would come real soon; and I'll bet this is something we can all agree on.

Yes, this has been an unusually tough winter. Not because of the snow, but because of the cold (in my area at least).

I normally like winter, but I can't stand the extreme temps in any season, so I'm especially hoping for an early spring, despite what the groundhog said.

We haven't really had much of a winter around here, but I can certainly understand why you folks are fed up the extreme temperatures and weather conditions.

Please add me to the list of those that can hardly wait for spring. Have had enough of this winter stuff..... My old bones just can hardly stand it.

You can say that again Mrs Lorraine! I feel terrible whining, because I think we've had it much better than most of the country, but I've been freezing these last few days! Brrrr!

We are getting more snow Sat and Sun (2 inches, not a big deal except we already have tooooo much)

And then, next Wed and Thurs "something big" is coming.

oh joy.

I am sick of complaining about it, but what else is there to do in the cold and snow but complain?

I think we've had a gorgeous week. Yes, it's been colder than normal, but it's been sunny and beautiful. And generally, we have such temperate weather that I don't feel I have the right to complain, compared to other parts of the country

But I love where I live, and I love the weather, anyway.

I do feel empathy for people suffering with the ice and snow and extreme temperatures. I'm originally from NJ, so I know what it's like.

Agreed! I hate the cold, plus the stupid snow plows have knocked over our mailbox about 5 times this winter. Grrrr!

I'm another one ready for spring. Weather man says this is the coldest winter on record for our area. This morning it was -10 here and has been below zero for several nights now.

Hey Marienkaefer, you're right of course. I'm afraid I'm a self-described "weather whiner". I freely admit I'm never satisfied!

I do too, but this winter has been so much more different than in the past. Way too many cold days and nights, and a lot more snow than normal.
