There were two large four foot mounds of snow at the end of our driveway. We kept getting frequent small snow storms. Other areas on the East coast got slammed by Storm Juno–a foot and up. Some isolated areas two, three foot accompanied by high gusts of wind. Their storm was called a “blizzard”. Not here, though so I don’t want to complain too much. And they are calling for more snow. And frigid temperatures. January was one cold month.

We are in the second week of winter now.  I will forget about the countdown sometimes.  Other times I will do the math.  It is a game for me.  We are in for some frigid temperatures.  Single teens.  I am wondering whether we will face any big snow storms.  We will see.  We are in the middle of winter.  There is no doubt about it now.  My periodic countdown is a way I have of marking the end of that season and awaiting spring.  As you can tell I am not too thrilled with the cold weather.  I just bear it and make sure I am properly dressed for the day.
