Baby It’s Cold Outside

How do you feel about cold weather?

(Yup, I’m referencing a controversial song)

The cold never bothered me anyway. (I’ll stop). I’m all for seasons, for four seasons. I like bundling up in a warm winter coat and a cute hat. Getting under a warm blanket with a cup of tea. What bothers me about winter is the dark. I love the spring as it stays light out longer. It is depressing when it is dark at 4:30, especially after the holidays when there is nothing to look forward to.

I wonder what it would be like to have the cold but longer sun light. I may not dread January if there were more sunlight.

Having lived in San Diego I did enjoy have better weather year round, being able to get outside more. I did miss autumn, the chilly mornings and crisp air. It seemed unnatural to be Christmas shopping in shorts. I did not miss the snow though. A light coating is fine but shoveling out stinks. I would take the cold over the snow.

Of course paying for heat in an old house is painful as is worrying about frozen pipes. Why do I live in the northeast again?
