I love the seasons we get in the northeast and I do enjoy the snow, but by March, I am sick of winter.
 
We got a few inches of snow last night and it is still coming down.

But I can't wait for summer and being at the lake and out on the boat!!

Things are closed here today.  2-4 inches and the city closes.  I am ok with that.  It will be back to mid 70's in a couple of days and Spring will be here for good.   I love Spring and really don't like being cold.  A couple of days of winter is all I want anymore.

I hate the white stuff, it had finally melted by last Friday and boom another storm of over a foot of snow.  UGH!  We have already beat the normal amount of snow for March and it's only the 3rd!  Now the coldness sets in with no melting in site for a while.  The joys of living in Massachusetts.  Oh well, my son and the dogs love it!

Twirl - when it's 40 degrees we think it's balmy and don't wear jackets!  Last week it was 60 degrees and I had all the windows open, I want that weather back!

Karol - I'm so jealous - it is 8 degrees here with a huge north wind - wind chill down below zero.  Just got back from walking dogs - brrrrrrrrrrrrrr is all I've got to say.  I'll try posting pictures of my walk in August when we are finally thawed out.

By August we'll get to a toasty 75 to (if we're lucky) 80 degrees at least one or two days.  Oh yeah - can't wait for a 75 degree warm up in my neck of the woods.

I heard in TX you can fry eggs on the sidewalk.  Is that true?

You are so right - I hate the time in the winter when we think 30 degrees is "warm."  There is just something not right about that.

LOL  so true.
An example.

In the winter we like our temperature at our house to be around 71/73 degrees. (which is warm in the winter)

Yet in the summer we like our house to be around 67/68 degrees. (which is cool when it is 98/100 outside)

So in the winter when it is 66 degrees in the house we tell ourselvs it is cold.
Yet crave this temperature in the summer.
Just one of the things i ponder from time to time.  (yes to much free time)
