On a different note, my windows are open! It was 14C early PM. March 1, wha??? 14C. Sunny with wind. We're f****d. "In like a Lamb..." eh?

Global swarming has hit home here in NB.ca. Last year, not a flake on the ground on JA 28 and then, BOOM, a winter's worth in 6 weeks. Nasty! Nasty! Couldn't throw it over the last pile without a blower buddy! Mind you, jus 200km to the north, she's shite white eh? But, I am in the Banana Belt. Warm n toasty. No snow. Not a flake to be seen. Whas onna ground is jus ice from gravity where she was piled up earlier on in January mont'.

I'd like ta send a invite ta that there El Nina... Nino?... lad ta come have a feed a yer smelts ta say thanks. Then, hold his ass here until March goes out like a lamb on accounta I don't trust Old Man Winter after all the times he f***** me over in the past 40 years.

If you'd spent this winter in Cornwall you wouldn't be saying you loved winter. No cold crisp weather to kill off the bugs. Sunless. Pissing down for three months with hardly a dry day. Wind, rain, murk, drizzle. Unable to walk on my garden since October because the soil is like porridge. Roll on spring.

I love winter because it's finite! I love all the seasons and wouldn't care to live in a place without distinct seasons.

I live in Florida, but not in the part where it never freezes. I love winter because it's a lot like my grandchildren: they both pay an occasional visit, they're both interesting to be around for a day or two, then they both go away and are somebody else's problem.

Had my windows open yesterday afternoon. 10C and windy. 6C when I got up this AM. -18C tonight. Freeze, thaw, repeat for weeks now. Some rough on the partridge.

Oh... last winter was a walk in the park, snow-wise.

...because school is in session, and the schoolchildren aren't storming and swarming like it's one big playtime.

You can see through the bare trees, and admire the clear blue sky, that is on days when the sky IS clear and blue. And you can peek through and find out what the trees have been hiding behind their amassed foliage for the rest of the year.
