    So long as the power stays on... I love being snowed in! Living in the country, with the snow on the trees and bushes is so beautiful..

    I love the snow and having the tractor going although with our long driveway I do have someone come plow the main portion of it, I bought a snow blower although its only a single stage I want a bigger one for our ramps and the area out by the car where the plow man can't get in, the generator is ready just in case and I have 3 tons of pellets a full take of propane and gas in the shed. Winter rejuvinates me.

    Exactly. The forecasters went on and on about it so much last year, and all we got was one little tiny baby snowfall. I had gotten my hopes up for a white Christmas, and boy was I disappointed.

    I have my downstairs pantry all stocked up and ready for whatever. I hate going to the grocery store in good weather so I really don't like going out in the snow.

    I have lots of projects (quilting) lined up for snowy days. Nothing better than a snow day for quilting! Bring it on!

    I used to love winter and snow until the Itis brothers invaded my body. (Arthur, Bru etc.) No having to drive on unplowed roads at 5-5:30 AM has changed my attitude. I am now counting down to retirement and still have 4 + years to go. Sigh.
