Glorious Winter!


Sorry if I'm sounding like a broken record, but it's cold! And I like it! The snow sounds different when you walk on it. It isn't squeaking yet, but it has a cold and crunchy feeling to it. The air is brisk and invigorating. Nothing makes one feel more alive than being outside and properly dressed in real cold weather. We haven't had any extreme sub-zero temperatures yet this winter (I think we've only dipped into the minuses a couple of times), but I'm looking forward to it.

It wasn't that cold out when I took these pictures a couple of days ago, but we did have fresh snow, which always begs to have photos taken. Unfortunately, the batteries on the camera died before I could get very artsy. Oh, well.

The barky park looks magical. I love how other people run around with a "the sky is falling" attitude when it gets this cold. I love it too. Some year I want to spend Christmas in Ottawa! (Or something like that.)

I'm so glad I'm not in WI right now.

Well, if you just dressed sensibly ...
Say, did you steal my long johns?

Yay! Another weather post. I noticed yesterday that the snow became squeaky -- it must have happened after you wrote.

This Arctic blast is so humbling. I always enjoy your photos.

Suzy: Christmas in Ottawa sounds great!

Cinderbelle: Someday you'll come to appreciate cold weather.

Crayons: Yes, I also noticed the snow got squeaky later.

Dr. MvM: Brr, indeed! But in a good way.

Suzy: Hurray for the return of the prodigal long johns!
