My poor son is Calgary is freezing his *** off in -25C weather.

Am I the only northerner to reply? How about you people out in ND and SD where during this passed week the temperature read somewhere around forty foot below the thermometer? A Paul Bunyon quote! You know him. He was among the guys cutting down timber out in the forest. When talking with his fellow cutters they had to build a fire, get out the frying pan, grab the words which had frozen in mid-air while they were talking, and put them into the frying pan to thaw so that they could hear what everone said!

It has not been cold here in Northern Maine, thus far. Temperatures down enough so that the snow which fell over Thanksgiving did not melt. I spent one winter down in Tennessee, and vowed never again would I spend the winter in the south. All those beautiful mountains, and no snow to ski on! Right now it is a winter wonderland here.

Low 30s here. Much more pleasant than getting snow. Still cold. I miss summer.

Once the cold sets in we dress accordingly. Being outside to ski, skate, walk, shovel snow keeps one warmed up in good shape. Snow covered fields with not a foot print in sight are so very pretty. This is especially true right after a snow storm when the snow is still on the evergreen trees. When the sun comes out, and the sky is very blue, it is a magnificent scene to behold. Every once and a while we can see deer and moose munching on tender branches of the desciduous trees, and rabbits fleeing foxes. Rabbits can change direction with one leap, causing the pursuing foxes to end up in heaps of drifts.
I love winter. |
dallison you paint a very pretty picture.
