Since I'm new to the cold, everyone has been asking how I'm enjoying the weather. When I say I'm loving it, I get some mixed reactions. People scoff at me or appear stunned at my answer. I have been told I'm crazy. I've been asked if I'm serious or what's wrong with me.
I find it funny! The best way I can describe it is I have never experienced seasons before. I'm excited to have changes in the weather. Coming from Florida, the forecast was always hot and humid, except for the 2 weeks of winter and hurricanes. When we moved up here, it was beyond hot in Florida and the air pressed down on you. When we arrived, there was a heat wave and record highs of 93. We had an easier move. Sure it was hot, but the air was not heavy.
According to the weather men, it is never warmer than 97 in Florida. They'll never admit with the heat and humidity index, the feels like can be over 100. Since being up north, I have seen weather reports of 5 with wind chill of -25. The words BRRRR on the weather map to represent the cold. One weather man had written high for tomorrow, Ridiculously Cold. I enjoy the honesty.
So, I'll continue enjoying my snow and the cold weather. Then I'll enjoy the spring, 3 months of summer, and the fall. For me, it beats 11 months of summer heat.

Keep the good thoughts on winter. Really, winter's great. It's only slippery sidewalks, ice on my car at 9:05PM, the idiots on the road going 15 when I want to do 20, the bone chilling cold and the high heating bills that bother me. Other than that, I love winter!
It IS pretty though, isn't it?
