Can not figure out if your complaining, or wishing you were a snowbird or maybe just a tinge of arthritis setting in early & the ol' bones are beginning to predict the weather. Sounds like your out in the west somewhere, pehaps the Rockies? I lived in New Mexico for about 9 years - Questa, Taos and Albuquerque. Spent some time in Colorado - went up thru Montrose Pass - (I think its about 13k feet or so) during a snowstorm with a 78 Ford Fairmont wagon!! Luckily followed a huge snowblower up & down the mountain. We don't look back on that experience as one "of our finest hours"!! The kids slept thru the whole experience. I live in New Castle, PA - we get a little snow here, but only have about 2 months of bad weather. My wife really gets the creaky bones during winter - something to do with bursitis so the doctors say. I have to have a 4w drive truck to usually get out of my driveway though most winter days. Nice thing about winter is it covers up the drab town eyesores, being around dying coal and steel towns. The thing I remember most about the Taos ski valley was sitting in the Mineslide Cabin that our friends owned, looking out the window, thankful that I didn't have to go anywhere - just taking in the majesty of the mountains and watching the many freezing their tails off while i was basking in front of a blazing fire chugging down a cold brew. Gotta love that winter weather!!!
Anyway, stay warm, get ready for the cold, dress warm and if your anything like me - just "throw another log on the fire" and dream of warmer winters!!!
