I know there is a lot of winter left, and NE PA has had some doozies of storms in the spring like the blizzard of 1993, but still, I can't wait to see some green.

 

It is still light now at 5 or a little after and will only get better on that front.  Like many I am so tired of seeing bare trees and more gray skies than blue. Sunday was great, but those days are few and far between.

 

It tickles me pink to come up the driveway and see the first flowers coming up.

 

Is everyone else ready?  Also, I'm tired of my furnace running. I want open windows and fresh air.

@CrazyKittyLvr2  I won't be happy unless we get some foot high snow storms in February. The first two weekends in February are the best bet, but I'll take anything up until the end of March. Our winter aconites have not yet poked their heads through the mulch, but we have a few spring bulbs giving it a try. Wish they would wait for a while so they don't get hit with the cold.

We aren't even a month into winter.  You've got a long cold spell ahead.  Hunker down and enjoy it before the inferno of summer hits.

I don't live with snow and cold like the rest of you but I'm enjoying the winter days because I know soon enough it'll be hot, dry spells that are miserable with fires and smoke.  So telling myself to enjoy these cold, for us its cold, gray days and longer nights, hoping for rain, because before I know it, it'll be summer.

I love winter - just don't like snow.   Like cool weather.  I agree with you though - there's nothing like having the windows open for fresh air in the spring and the fall.   Woman Happy

NOOO!!!

 

It will probably be boiling hot and humid here before “spring” hits. We don’t really have spring here. 

 

Let me enjoy the few cool days we have before the melting season starts again...
