It is the middle of January and those of us that live in on the east coast have been experiencing a warmer than normal winter until the last couple of days. The last couple of days has brought us some cold weather and a dusting of snow this morning with a chance of some more light snow tomorrow. My favorite temperature would be low 70's with a light breeze.

*yay* for us! The temps didn't get as cold as expected and instead of snow, it came as rain. Things are actually better now because the rain melted off some of the remaining ice!

You must have sent the snow our way. It's snowing now and I was hoping to have a snow free winter. I like snow mind you. It makes everything nice and clean looking, and builds up the water table which is good for our well.

But snow makes work for me to shovel and all of the drivers around here that are in a hurry don't slow down for anything -- including the snow. I'm not a slowpoke and do my 10+ miles per hour over the speed limit but that doesn't matter for the professional tailgaters if I was going 30+ over. They're never satisfied no matter how fast you go nor what the weather or road conditions are. Those are my chief gripes about snow.

I'll take now anytime over ice. I hate ice storms and the mess they create with our trees. I'm sure there are lots of people in places with droughts that would love to get snow and ice.
