I'm looking forward to this weekend. The weathermen are forecasting a January thaw - it may get up to 50 degrees. I guarantee people will be out in shorts. Not me! But I will be out taking walks and soaking up some fresh air.

How do you survive a snowy winter?
Last year we had about 2 snowy days - very unusual for an area that normally receives about 200 inches of snow each season. So far, we've received about 24 inches. So, what would you do - hibernate or play in the snow? I'm tempted to hibernate but I know that leads me down the road to depression. A sledding party is what we need! Sunday was the perfect day - temperature was about 35 degrees, a few snowflakes in the air. We invaded my parents back yard, invited friends, built a fire (and a snowman), cooked hotdogs, drank hot cocoa. (and then I went home and hibernated for night.) I find that I survive winter better if I force myself to get out of the house (other than going to work.) I get my groceries after supper, attend meetings, and play in the snow.

I grew up in MA and loved to play int he snow. In the NC mts it can be very blustery and cold so I don't go out much like I used to. We will have 60s this weekend!
ReplyDeleteSmart idea and looked like great fun....... agree about depression can sneak up on one in the winter... I walk to club house and do some weight training 3 or 4 times a week.. also swim a couple of times a week. and then to hibernate I craft or if I get really ambitious I organize closets and cupboards ; but not always LOL. .January thaw here too ! love it..
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun idea for a winter party! We always try to get up to a yurt sometime during the winter. That's our way of managing to get out and not make winter seem so dreary.
ReplyDeleteHi Bonnie, It sounds like you had a wonderful, depression-zapping outing! What a great-looking group.
ReplyDeleteIf the wind is calm. I love being outside when it's snowy. Looks like fun!
