I did have some fun times sledding and building snowmen. although once my socks got wet, the fun was over.

Snow is fun when you are a child. I grew up where it snows a LOT. But once you start having to drive in it and on ice, it is no longer so fun!

now the shoveling part I did, but I didn't learn to drive until I moved. It is way more chill to drive here, even now I'm unsure if I have the confidence to drive where I grew up in. But that’s conflicting because I really miss living in Illinois

I love snow in moderation, but the last couple years we've gotten pounded in short time periods, so much I pay for a plow contract! Like this morning, we got like 7 inches in about 2 hours. It was hours before our street got cleaned. If it stays cold it keeps accumulating and theres no where to put it!
Tomorrow should be dry at least, but I don't want to go back to work

When I was living in Putnam county we had a blizzard on April 1, 1997. I was driving my daughter back to college in New Paltz. That was about an hour from my house. It had just started snowing. On the way home...mind you I was alone and I was driving an old Chevrolet Celebrity I think...heavy car and I had four brand new snow tires...it was so bad I couldn't see two feet in front of me. Halfway home I decided to stop at a deli on route 32 for, you guessed it, bread and milk. 
And snacks. The power was out but I was able to get the items.
When I hit I84 I you couldn't see the lanes. I drove behind a big truck. We were the only two on the road. And I couldn't read the exit signs because they were covered in snow. It was so bizarre. And honestly, I was loving every minute of it...back when my anxiety was not an issue.
Let's see...how old was I in 1997?
45...that explains it lol.

Very chilly this morning! 41!! I had to turn on the heat, I was so cold when I got up. Now it is up to around 60 and my apartment is still cold. but I am not turning on the heat.
My furnace/heat was fixed yesterday. YYYYYYESSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!! And not a moment too soon.
I think the snow is lovely to look at, but I loathe driving in it. Mostly because other drivers aren't as cautious in snowy conditions as I am.
Today is quite chilly, and it feels more like winter than fall. The sun was out all day, though, which was nice.
O my gosh I know that feeling. The first winter we moved into my last house we had a terrible snow storm. I couldn't make up the hill to our house and had to detour through side streets to get to the other side of the street. Those streets were all weirdly winding, and I wasn't familiar at all. I had a compass, but that was no help. The street signs were completely covered in snow, and I slowly circled and circled until by chance I found a main street I knowWhen I was living in Putnam county we had a blizzard on April 1, 1997.

. I started off crazy with anxiety, but when I calmed done and realized I wasn;t going to go in ditch it did feel rather peaceful.I used to love to sit on our trampoline in the winter snow, alone in the quiet that winter enhances
It's Nov 29. I've always considered Nov as winter. I know I'm wrong though

Southern Connecticut Weather (SCW) just put out their 2023-24 winter forecast. It's super interesting, detailed and lengthy. And disappointing. Again. Overall it will be warmer than normal but not as warm as last year, and little snow for the shoreline.
