Winter's coming

Are you anxious for it to come? Think of all the fun things you can do in winter or just enjoy its coming.

No! I don't mind the cold but hate snow! Pretty pix as long as you don't have to drive in it, shovel it, or walk on it when it gets icy and slushy.

Winter comes with expense when it comes to heating your home....I've already had notice from the power company to expect higher cost.....

We don't get snow here in Arizona unless you live up north so yes I am glad the cooler weather is here. Anything beats day after day of over 100 degrees. Right now at 8 am it's only 48 degrees. Feels great outside. As for heating the house we have a heat pump so it uses normal electricity.

Now that we are retired winter is not a big concern. We plan ahead by stocking up. We have a generator and a plow. And if we have an appt. just call and reschedule. This time of the year we are stocking up.

@newname0 I love winter and especially SNOW! We have not had much of it these past several years, so I'm hoping for some good snow storms this year. I enjoy panic buying the day before the storm, making soup or bolognese, fire in the fireplace, impromptu snowball fights with the neighbors. DH and the neighborhood dads make sure everyone has their driveways cleared. Everyone is friendly, and we sometimes sit outside at a neighbors' fire pit and sip wine and enjoy the winter wonderland. Life slows down and hearts and hearths warm up.

No! Snow looks pretty in pictures, it's not so pretty when you have to live with a lot of it. I am ok with cold but I could do without snow.

I count the days till spring once winter arrives. I am not a fan of winter at all.

Husband has his ski pass, and is waiting for the first big snowfalls so the resorts will start to open.

He will go skiing when it is fifteen degrees below zero! He also used to play ice hockey--he is definitely a Winter person.

I am a Spring/Summer lady, and I dream of the beach and future cruises.

(He tried to teach me to ski, but it was not successful!)

I love the winter. Hate summer and hot, humid weather. My favorite season is the fall. Not a fan of snow and ice, though.

Put a pot of soup on the stove, rev up the snow blowers, college class on line, a nice brisk walk later on -- we're all set!
