Okay, it's December 7 and I'm already sick of winter. Last Saturday, it snowed about 8 inches, followed by about three inches a couple of days later, plus about 1/2 inch last night. Plus, it has been cold. The night before last, it was -11 degrees when I got up. It's pretty to look at, but I don't like feeling "housebound" by the snow. I like to be able to get out and walk or whatever. I read that the NOAA is predicting a warmer than usual winter, with average precipitation for our area for this winter. You couldn't tell it so far! I must be getting old, because I always liked winter when we lived in Ohio. One difference there was that the first big snow of the winter didn't stay until the end of March. Last year, we had to build a fire in the fireplace on Easter because it was so cold. I do like the change of seasons, so perhaps I just need to live somewhere where winters are mild. Another annoying thing to me is that it is getting dark by 4:30 and it's as dark as midnight by 5 pm. That's just sad. We need all the sunlight we can get!

I wish we were getting snow! All we have is rain, fog, overcast 24/7! It is depressing, I guess being homebound isn't exciting either!
wow, and to think it was 77 degrees here today! (Ben asked if he could wear his shorts for the holiday picture and I told him we had to at least pretend that it was winter-like. :)
Mom, it's dark by 4:45 here... but like Shannon said... it's warm here... Shannon snuck out of the bed room to turn the AC on last night because it was too hot.
Sometimes I miss the Ohio snowfalls, especially at Christmas. Sometimes it snows here, but it looks a little stange hanging on the palms and the pool. We especially miss our snow friends in Ohio!!!

Sometimes (especially at Christmas) I wish we had snow. We have had snow, but it looks kind of strange on the palm trees and floating on the pool! We love Nevada but miss the seasons. Wish we could visit you in Wisconsin.
