It was 13 degrees in our forest cove this morning. With the windchill, according to NPR, it felt like it was a mere 3 degrees. This is weather not fit for man nor beast. Fortunately, we're gathered 'round the wood stove in the kitchen, all 5 cats, 2 dogs, Hubs, babe, and myself, staying snug and cozy, drinking hot coffee, nibbling on fennel/orange/nut biscotti, and click-clacking away on our laptops. Hope you're toasty too, wherever you are. In fact, where are you? I'd love to know where in the world you folks come visit me from!
Live in southeast OH, work in WV.
ReplyDeleteToronto, Canada. Where the streets are bare and I can see my lawn through the melting snow. Not very wintry at the moment...
ReplyDeleteTampa FL, cold here, there is even some ice, but nothing like yours. The weather is the only good thing about FL, after all.
ReplyDeleteI'm in Omaha, Nebraska....the east coast is getting all the terrible cold and snow we had last year!
ReplyDeleteCentral coast of Florida here. Not quite as cold, but ice on my car this morning. Our best friends live in W. Asheville, and we get up there as often as we can. Five year goal is to move to the area!
ReplyDeleteTucson, AZ. Our "winter" weather consists of 70 degrees and sunny! I would feel guilty about posting that except that I really do miss winter sometimes...and we swelter in extreme for 5 months out of the year. Now is the time of year for us to enjoy being outside. Hope you stay warm and cozy!
ReplyDeleteSnowy and Windy (at least today) Southern New Hampshire
ReplyDeleteGenerally, I'm in Burlington, Vermont. But for the moment I'm in San Francisco visiting family for the holidays.

ReplyDeleteIn Southwestern Ontario, Canada still waiting for a decent layer of snow but luckily the pond is frozen and the ice is smooth as glass.

hello,
ReplyDeleteI hail from Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada. Our winters can get as cold as -30 degrees Celsius (-22 F? I think)
So hang in there, you don't have it that bad!
Luckily though, we have the chinook winds that blow through in the winter that are warm and will often melt the snow!
Northern Alabama. It was only 20 degrees this morning. We had a white Christmas as well which is the first time since we moved here. Chickens are not liking the snow though...:)
ReplyDeleteCentral Connecticut! We have about a foot of snow. We're waiting right now to take my husband to his train, which is currently running two hours behind. Beats the flight delays, though!
ReplyDeleteFrom warm and sunny Brazil, living in cold and sometimes sunny Levittown, NY. :))
ReplyDeleteRainy San Francisco, where we all think the mid 50's is cold....
ReplyDeleteGreetings from New York City, where we're also buried in snow and ice! The city looked so beautiful after it snowed overnight, and I think that peaceful image alone is worth all of the slush afterwards...stay cozy!
ReplyDeleteSkokie, IL... the great midwest. We feel your pain. Hang in there!
ReplyDeleteSorry about passing that crappy weather on to you. In center of the Midwest, I'd have to say that I'm not sorry to see the negative windchill go, though.

ReplyDeleteCharlotte, NC! Cold, but not quite as frigid as your area. Stay warm! :)
ReplyDeleteOlympia, WA here. We're having a bit of a cold spell, but that means we're down to the 20s at night so it's not quite the same thing...

ReplyDeleteNew Orleans, Louisiana here. It is crazy weather here...90 one day, 60 next day, 80 in the morning 40 in the evening...
ReplyDeleteMunich, Germany - feels like living in a giant freezer since November, and things kind of break down a lot, especially everything traffic-related (flights cancelled, trains late or cancelled, roads blocked) ... But it looks beautiful, a real winter wonderland :-)
