My parents will never believe this, but I kinda like the super cold snaps of Reno. (Not the super cold snaps of further north, thank you very much!) When it's just kinda winter for weeks, I get complacent and whiny. Ugh, gotta get up and make a fire and go kick the ice out of the buckets and it's cooooold. Then it'll get
really cold - keep the fire going all day! thaw the pipes! break water in the afternoon too!
It "warmed back up" yesterday, into the low 40s, and... it feels warm. I didn't wear coveralls once. I didn't even wear gloves! I got a raging fire going in the morning, then had to flee to
fight with the floor because it was
75 in the den.
Beautiful sunset today.
Gorgeous photo.
ReplyDeleteI think it got about 30 here & the sun was out for maybe an hour or so. And we still have 9+" of snow. Come on spring...
ReplyDeleteI hear ya. By now, when it hits the high 30's/low 40's, it feels really nice.
ReplyDeleteI'm the opposite of you though. I wear my bib coveralls and skip the jacket. I find jackets so restricting.
Guess we better enjoy these 'warm' spells. Got a bit of winter yet to go. ;-)
Ummmmm....in the 20's here, snow drifts, ice covered roads, wind...can I possibly hate you in a "nice" sort of way? 40 degrees?
ReplyDeleteHow about a new "chicken story" to make my miserable c-c-c-old day? ~E.G.
Now I feel bad for whining about our low of 28 last night. I guess it's all about perspective!
ReplyDeleteD&T - yall get hammered over there to the east. The Sierras really save us a lot of snow and cold!
ReplyDeleteBEC - I have "full" coveralls, so I feel like the kid brother in A Christmas Story when I wear them. I can't move my arms! At least with a jacket I can still move my legs. ;)
EG - I won't taunt you with my good weather anymore! Unless it's to make sure jen appreciates her even better weather...
