1. Have I mentioned (lately) how much I dislike winter?

[unblock]

5. winter in connecticut really makes me miss austin, lol!

[Aristus]

7. I love winter.

But winters in the PNW tend to be mellower than in the Northeast.

9. We are supposed to get it for the next two days

I dread it. The high tomorrow is only around 55, 20 degrees less than today.. and the nights are gonna hit low 30's.

I just don't know how we are gonna get thru it till the warm up Tuesday.

6. I just received a photo from Rochester, MN

It snowed. I don't know how much they will get (1-3" forecasted), but it is pretty. A bit early, though.

Time to put on a pot of chili.

10. 9 inches plus in Duluth. Makes me glad that I got my dad's snowblowing equipment dealt with

several weeks ago. He's going to need it.

11. Oh, my! My daughter said it was melting, for the most part.

They head home tomorrow. I hope it isn't that deep in Rochester.

12. Rochester is far south of Duluth.

I'm half way in between and the couple inches we got here will be gone soon enough. Enough to stick on the lawn, but what hit the streets is melting. This is not the start of snow cover, it's just a reminder that this is Minnesota.

13. Thanks. I dearly love snow, but not when family is traveling.

Last year, we hardly had any snow. Maybe I should move to Minnesota.

14. Rochester sees far less snow than Duluth.

Duluth gets lake effect snow on occasion, but all that water in Lake Superior at 32 degrees keeps it a bit warmer right on the shore.

I grew up with Lake Superior about 100 yards from my front door.

Winter is up to 3 weeks shorter in Rochester and up to 2 weeks longer in International Falls, on the Canadian Border. It's about 350 miles direct line between Rochester and Frostbite Falls.

8. Should arrive within a week here

...just heard the Sierras are expecting some of that white-shit soon. BLECH

Time to batten-down the hatches! I personally wish I could just hibernate!

15. I'm not allowed to bitch about winter weather...

After 30 years in Southern California, I couldn't wait to move back home to Western Washington.

So, I love winter.

16. I love the scenery in winter.

I especially love blizzards. Nobody goes out; we all watch the wind and snow outside our windows. After the storm, the bare branches of the trees are coated with white frosting. Gorgeous.
