Whose woods these are I think I know
He lives in Arizona, though.
He will not mind me stopping here
To watch the goddam fuckin' snow.

Well after yesterday's dump of 30 centimeters of snow I took my dog and walked 2.9 kl on the street then another 3 kl in the woods where I left him running and playing in lots of snow. I'm not a lover of winter but in my opinion I like the four seasons instead of one which has gotten to me way to hot in recent years. I'm off to Florida in 4 weeks for 10 days and I know i will love it. But I will be glad to be back in the great white north.

Do not take potshots at snowmobilers.

String wire across trails instead.

Ski. (Fixed-heel downhill, XC classic, XC skate, tele, alpine touring, your call.)

Snowshoe.

Ice skate.

Lurk in the woods and take potshots at the goddam snowmobilers. (sorry, politically incorrect. Must be more tolerant. Everyone has the constitutional right to make a lot of noise, ruin the show, and stink up the air. Forgive me.)

Come in, take a hot shower, drink beer and pick a tune or read a bad novel in front of the woodstove.

It's like old age. It can be comfortable if you work with it and don't fight it.

Well, I disagree with both of you.

I just LOVE sliding down the icy hill, the all-wheel-drive skidding; I just LOVE the slush which, overnight, freezes into car-shattering lumps of ice; I just LOVE knowing that I can depend upon other drivers to drive as they should; I just LOVE having the brass monkey banging on the door to be let inside.

WHEEEEEEEEEE!!!! Let's send it all to Ohio and Ontario where they can appreciate it!

I find nothing at all to disagree with in the above post. I could just as well have written it myself. So may I join you, Spaw, in saying...

FUCK WINTER!!!

Okay, I know it can be beautiful (it is here right now anyway) but it just sucks big as well. Storm comes in, lotsa' snow, lotsa' gawdamn ICE! Trees are beautiful, the landscapes are lovely, the roads are gawdawful. Every year this happens and some years worse than others...........I tried the more temperate climes but like a dumbass I keep coming home to Ohio..................***SIGH***..............The power has been out for 3 days and just came back on........It used to be an adventure and now its a pain in the ass..............Old age is setting in.

As I've gotten older I've noticed that at times it crosses my mind that there will only be some smaller number of "somethings" left to do--fewer camping trips, fewer Christmastimes......counting down in a way. I guess that might be a bit natural, realizing mortality and all. Generally when one of those thoughts comes along I might feel a bit sad for a minute or two but I tell ya' what........when I consider that the number of winters I have left are equally diminishing it brings a smile and a warm, fuzzy, feeling...............

Fuck winter.
