It gets to be the time of the year when I'm ready for snow. I remember last year at this time feeling like I wouldn't have minded if Fall had continued on its merry way for a few weeks, as long as we had snow for Christmas. But today I feel like, well, let's get on with it already.
I like the changing seasons, and Fall is the best, but the transitions are often awkward. And I do not do beginnings well. So a good solid snowfall, with a temperature dip into the minus teens would work for me right now. Do I need to justify this? I don't think so. It's the way I roll. I like the coziness of winter. Being inside in the warmth when it's numbingly, dangerously, cold outside - it's so homey. I like homey. I like to be at home.
So I look forward to big snowflakes, and blizzards, and shoveling the drive, and skating on the rink, and skiing, and biking in the cold, and driving slow so you can find the yellow line in the drifting white.
Seriously. I can hardly wait.
The ride in: 5'C Wind SE 5 ks
The ride home: 10'C Wind N 10 ks

It's snowing right now! Well kinda... a smattering of flakes here and there. But nothing enough to freeze the river and make ski trails.
I agree with you on this one. Snow can come. I can hardly wait!
P.S. I get two weeks off for the holidays, we were thinking of coming out for the majority of it... to do winter homey type things with the fam?!
I take that back, now it's SNOWING!
