I think we have, for once, had easier weather than those south of here! It snows every day, but that is always the case up here. It is a beautiful, soft snow, and sometimes I see animal tracks going through. The snow stays white and sparkling, and it is such a winter wonderland up here! I sit in my living room and can see outside my patio doors, and just enjoy the beauty of it.
That's not to say it is easy living up here. Yesterday morning, I was going down the safe side of the hill I live on, and my car went right off the road! I was really scared, because you just don't know where and when your car will stop. I did scream! I stopped pretty close to the road. Thank goodness for studded tires, front wheel drive, a manual transmission, and a very stubborn nature! I got out and back onto the road, and went on to get my nails done, although I did give some thought to going back home.
There are days I just don't bother going out, but not that often. We aren't having the winds you guys are.
It's already January 9th. Hang in there. In 8 or 9 weeks, it will be March 9th, and much warmer.
