I thought I was ready for winter after such a hot summer but I've changed my mind! It hasn't been above freezing here for the last 2 days. It is supposed to briefly warm up to just above freezing this afternoon but forecast is for rain turning to ice late pm. I can live with snow but can do without the ice (even tho it does make for some pretty scenery). I used to love to go out walking when we had snow or ice. Now I stay inside except to bundle up & go out to feed horses & donkeys. Then I hurry back inside & put another log on the fire! My son's gf who is from Colorado was visiting for a few days. When it starting snowing on Sunday she commented that she hadn't seen any snow plows & asked where they were. I had to laugh & explain that we didn't have snow plows, that our little bit of snow rarely lasts more than 2 or 3 days.
