Winter is a week in. Still no extended freezes. An abnormally warm Fall. That means Spring might come sooner unless we get cold in the early Spring. The countdown has begun (to Spring). I’d hibernate but I don’t have that option.

Today is four weeks from spring. We are in the throes of a freeze. It will continue for, at least, ten more days. I never wanted it to get warm so desperately. It has been cold forever, it seems. I just can’t wait for the warmer weather to return.

It was the first days of spring–somewhat cool. It was in the forties. I really did not have a countdown to spring this time. Patches of snow still existed. I was glad I no longer had to navigate the ice to my car in the driveway. The ice existed for the longest time: it was a combination of snowfalls and cold temperatures. I just was glad spring finally arrived. I no longer tolerate the cold that well.

It is one day minus four weeks to spring. My countdown has started. It has been a little warmer for a few days but the temperature is going down again. I keep checking the ten day forecast but it does not bode much relief from the cold. Not yet anyway. And there might be more snow on the horizon. Will this winter ever end?

It is one day minus five weeks to spring. All I see is snow. And it feels like the cold will never leave us. In the next ten days there will be five days where it will be in the forties, then thirties again. It will warm up again. Our one car is snowbound. Let us see how long it takes for the snow to melt. At least, I got the other car out. Spring will come. It just does not feel that way now.

We are in the middle of a minor four day heatwave. Yesterday was the first day of official winter. It was in the low fifties, today it will hit the low sixties. Tomorrow will be in the low fifties. Then cold again. At least when I start my countdown to spring it is only one season I have to count down. Today I will just enjoy the weather. And the unusually mild temperatures.

I froze. I quickly dashed out for an errand and was glad to be back in my heated house. Twenty-nine degrees outside. Yes, winter has come. Not officially for another three weeks. The cold is here to stay. Once winter comes I will start a countdown to spring. Anything to relieve the cold. I know before I know it winter will pass and spring is next. It is all an illusion. The cold weather is here to stay. It is going to be a long winter.

Spring is on its way: officially in four weeks. It does not feel that way today. It is cold and windy and all I want to do is stay inside and go out only when I have to. None of my four dogs seem too eager to go out. Now I am counting the weeks and then days until spring. I do this every year, do my countdown to spring. Winter I just endure.

I got the winter blues. It is not unbearably cold and we only had two minor snow storms. Nevertheless, I don’t want to be here but I am and don’t know what to do with myself. 
I will go out (???) do a little shopping just to go out and go to the library. Maybe, my depression will lift a bit. Winter has just started. And spring is still too far away to begin a countdown. I will just bear it.

Winter kind of snuck up on me. Before I knew it it was December 21. When spring is six weeks away, I will start my countdown to it. Now I will ignore the winter and just endure the low temperatures and bad weather.

Winter is on its way out. Groundhog day was one week, one day ago. It is now less than five weeks to winter’s demise officially. I have started my countdown to spring. The weather does not always cooperate but now I can see the end of the tunnel. Spring is coming. I will keep that thought in mind even when the frigid weather returns. Not that there has been much of that. There wasn’t. Maybe we will still get a big snowstorm. It does not matter. Spring is on its way. I will keep that in mind. Winter is on its way out.

You can see how impatient I am about winter. Yesterday I noted winter was three weeks in–about a quarter of the way in. It has not been very cold. I only remember one extremely chilly day. I still want winter to go away. I never started a countdown to spring so early. Maybe, it is time to move to a warmer climate. I don’t tolerate winter so well anymore. It is really too early to start a countdown to spring. I am hoping winter will just go away. But it won’t. And somehow I have to stop counting the days and then weeks to spring. Spring is still too far off. And my countdown makes it worse. I simply do not like winter (particularly the cold) any longer. It is time to consider a move. Winter has become too hard to bear.
