Winter Wonderland

Some humor regarding drastic cold weather:

 

1. It’s like sticking your head in a flour sack to get away from a tornado. 
2. There’s so much salt on the roads you get high blood pressure just taking out the unplugging your car.
3. It's colder than a polar bear’s pyjamas on the shady side of an iceberg.
4. So cold this morning, after my dog went out for a pee, I had to chop him off a tree trunk.
5. I went there and back to see how far it was but I was more concerned with here while going there as my body went numb.

Hmmm, winter wonderland huh/eh?

 

This Sunday (today - as I think it's just a bad dream and I will awake and it's Spring), we are in the midst of a harsh cold front. Regardless of how you look at it some people will say there is a difference between a dry cold and a wet cold.  The way I see it – it’s simply very cold. They were forecasting it would move in tomorrow. However it came today. And according the weather channel it’s not going to be going away for the next three days.

 

Up till now the weather has been rather mild. The drastic change comes each year just around this time and then it slowly starts to warm up. It all makes me think about how our

grandparents and great grandparents could do this.  They certainly didn't have much for warming things up except for keeping the stove on.

 

Out west here, I don’t know how people do it. Even during the mild times I just really don’t care for winter. It’s just a very drastic cold that many say we become immune with. How often I will get a kick out of the old saying “ we can get so cold in the winter and then so hot in the summer – that it builds character or we all are completely crazy.
