Misleading

It is a gloriously sunny day outside, and for the life of me, I couldn't figure out why the house felt so chilly! Even sitting here curled up in a quilt, I can't quite fight the chill...

...and then I glanced at the thermometer outside and saw a whopping 32 degrees. :) Ah, it's winter in the northland.

Right now, I'm excited for it, as all northeners tend to be. (That is, of course, one of the reasons we live up this way.) And of course, I'll be dancing a happy dance with LBB once the flakes start sticking to the ground.

But.

Don't talk to me in February about the snow. Because I can tell you right now, by that point, I'm sick of the snow and cold and ice and grayness. :) Where I grew up we'd get snow, but then we'd get chinooks...so one day it'd be freezing and snowy and the next day it'd be close to 50. But here, winter is from November to April...and sometimes even May, and it is NON-STOP.

But, I love it. If I didn't I'd be urging Dear Sweet Hubby to get a job in a warm climate. And as LBB gets older, I'm really looking forward to all the fun things a northern winter can bring...sledding, snowshoeing, cross country skiing, snowman building, and hanging out in snow forts. :)

Yep. It may be sunny outside today, but that chill that is in the air is full of promise of snow very very soon.

I love where we live. :)
