Farmer's Almanac

Every fall our neighbor tells us that according to the Farmer's Almanac it's going to be a terrible winter.  Every year, I hope his prediction is right. 

I'm a winter girl - if I was in Game of Thrones I'd be a Stark.  Lately, winter has been teasing me.  We've gotten a half inch here, a half inch there, some freezing rain, and even some really cold temps.  But, where I ask is the snow?

The winter that my eldest was born was a winter of record.  Two days before she was born we got 30 inches of snow.  Lately, I find myself dreaming of a winter just like that one.   Or, how about the winter when my son was three.  We had snow storm upon snow storm - we actually got tired of skiing and snow days.  That kind of winter would suit me just fine.


Now this is winter!

I think Winter must be one of those love it or hate it kinds of seasons.  I know some people who hate winter with vehemence.  The only reason those folks stay in the north during the winter season is for Christmas.  I don't dream about going South until spring - I dream about running North.  So, several times a year - I run home so I can get my fill of winter. 

Here's hoping the forecast calls for snow!
