Ten things I hate and like about winter.

Add to my lists...

I hate waking up with my lips dried to my teeth and gums because the air in the house is so dry.

I like not worrying about turning over a board, log, or something and finding an angry "Sir Hiss" coiled up waiting for me.

I LOVE MANGOS,( I hate people telling about them growing all around ). I'd love to live where I could eat mangos off "MT" trees ,and rub it in on my friends who can't

Dail

They don't grow year round here - we have a dry spell for about 4 or 5 months. I am sure we have your sympathy...

Got caught in a hail storm yesterday. Hate hailstorms year round.

One thing you have to hate about winter getting up with no light. Out of a warm bed and going outside and starting the car every morning.. At least some of you have a warm bed to come home too.. ;D

One more thing I like about winter is .... when there is that few days of warm sunshine and the air is crisp and clear!

One more thing I hate about winter is.... where there is those few days of sunshine, the angle of the sun is so low in the sky that it's always in my eyes.
>:(

The only thing I like about winter is when it's over.

Phorester · January 15, 2006, 10:26:16 PM

I like winter too, but we only had it a few short weeks in December, and now are (and have been) in the 30's for almost a month. No snow now. :'(

Quartlow · January 17, 2006, 03:50:49 PM

I like winter in a way, easier to get around the woods, you can see the sead stuff that needs to come out.
Grounds fozen so theres no mud, oh though its been soft here lately, but my mill is sitting on concrete ;D

Cold weather I can put more clothes on, summer time I can only take so much off before Istart scaring people :D :D

isawlogs · January 18, 2006, 08:40:22 PM

What I really dont like .... Waking up at 4.30 and looking out to see that the yard and road is slicker then an ice rink that the zambony has just done finishing putting a top coat on . I took the truck out and went for a load of sand

I am sure you herd the song Slip sliding away .... That is what I was doing , headed north the get to the sand pile .. and it was not long that I was heading south with out even turning the steering

Very quick way to find out that the chains on all wheels are needed . Put them on at 5 this morning and took them off at 7 this evening .

I would rather have Snow . lots of it rather then rain at this time of the year ...

I know I will take grief for this, because I'm not lying here. I really love winter. I am not sure why. I guess growing up on a Dairy farm it was the only time things slowed down where we could enjoy them.

When I was a kid I always wanted to play Baseball, but man, springtime on a farm is the worse time as far as chores are concerned. So instead I played Hockey. Now I love that sport, love snowmobiling, love snowshoeing...just love everything about winter.

Someone asked how we deal with winter up North and no one really answered the person. Here is my take. You just go outside and live. My wife asks me that all the time. "How can you go outside and run your snowmobile when its 20 degrees below zero?" Well once you get the gear for it, you don't really notice it. You would be amazed at the beautiful sunrises/ sunsets I have seen. The wildlife enjoying winter as well. The snow capped mountains in the distance. In short, I truly pity you guys that don't get out in winter. You just don't know what you are missing.

Don't take this the wrong way, but in some ways I am glad few people get out in winter. It lets me have the glory/ splendor/ beauty all to myself.

From JEFF: "Yer messing with us aintcha!"

Nope, I really like winter. I like the cold, like those dull steely grey-sky days, like rain, sleet, and snow as long as I don't have to drive much in them. The woods are so quiet then. I like getting up close to a good campfire or fireplace. Coffee seems to taste better on cold days.

Having said that, here it is the end of January and it's suppossed to be in the 60's today and windy. Here I should be shoveling snow and I'm worried about having fires this afternoon.........

crtreedude · January 21, 2006, 02:00:44 PM

I think some of you have been out in the cold too long... No offense meant. :

Patty · January 21, 2006, 03:10:30 PM

I love winter time too, for the first couple months or so.

Life is so much harder in the winter, though.... Scooping and pushing snow around, chopping the ice out of the water tank, slip sliding to work, dark grey days, going to and from work in the dark....on the other hand the snow is beautiful when it falls and every thing is hushed. The sunrises and sunsets are spectacular, and I am awake to see them both, the trees silloetted against the snow are very pretty.

I guess what doesn't kill us makes us stronger. :

I do wish the global warming would hurry up a bit, winters get awfully long come January. :D
