| 1962 | "Those [of us] who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night" -Edgar Allan Poe
I do like winter. I just wish it would start a week before Christmas and end a few days after.
They ain't kidding about the wind. I noticed the water in my toilet bowl moving up and down as if the drain led directly into the ocean. It took a minute for me to notice the intensity of the motion corresponded to the sound of the wind. The 2 inch diameter vent pipe was taking that much air pressure.
We had 65 last week. It's been a mild winter and might be a short one.
I prefer cold to hot. One can always add layers and throw another log on the fire. Old people seem to like it warm and migrate to FL and AZ and other wretchedly torrid sites where you need A/C to survive. Yeah, it's been wicked windy here since the Nor'Easter moved through. I suffered some damage:

It was not very safe to be outside while sharp heavy things were falling from the sky and flying around, but once it settles down I'll get to work with the chainsaw and collect free firewood. Heating fuel really does grow on trees and falls from the sky!
Not bad here in Delaware. This morning there is about half an inch of snow on the lawn , none on the driveway. No trees or branches down. But I am w ith you. I am ready for Spring.
I grew up in southern California, where there were no seasons, and no good intrinsic way to mark the passage of years in your life. After eating desert all the time, one develops a serious craving for Collard greens.
Similar to here on the west coast. We run the ceiling fan maybe 10 days a year. When we crave real winter, we drive up to the cabin in the mountains, a four hour drive including a couple of stops.
This is the driveway as of now:

It's 18F there now. It got down into negative values last week.

I grew up on collard, mustard and dandelion greens. They were cheap. Now they're back as the "in thing" to drum up sales, even though they're like an inert gas... odorless, tasteless, colorless ;-)
I prefer spinach myself. ...Jim Thompson

Statistically more people die from excessive cold than hot. ...Jim Thompson
