I feel your pain. When it comes to winter, my cup is 1/2 empty and getting emptier every year. My dh will be retiring soon but we have a 4 yr old grandaughter and he likes to ice fish. I get depressed just thinking about the cold and having to drive on icy and crappy roads.
It's raining off and on here but the wind is blowing pretty hard.
Maybe next year I can talk him into spending a couple weeks (or more:) someplace where it's warm.
