That is what I am telling myself today, stop whining !!! After seeing the lake effect snows near Buffalo, N.Y. what is this small amount of snow and cold? Honestly I have turned into a pansy. :) This is the view of my home town. You can see the courthouse clock tower between the trees.
This is how it is looking around here. A warm up is happening today...32 degrees, but up to 30 mile an hour winds. Brr. LOL. Oh sorry whining again. Been having toasty fires in the fireplace. Will need them for a day or two. Now come this weekend, we may get in the high 40's maybe up to 50 degrees.
Take care everyone , stay safe and warm. XO
Hi Susie,
ReplyDeleteI know I keep telling myself to stop whining about the weather too but it is hard to deal with these below normal temps already. At least when the sun is out it helps. Stay warm. Wooo Hooo we will hit 30 here to day too.
Kris
Hi Kris, Never thought I would ever think 30 degrees would be a small heat wave. LOL. But after yesterday wind chills...it sure seems so. I think the sun helps us deal with the cold. Warm hugs to you, Susie
Deletethat fire is just the ticket to pass the days with a snow storm looming! I hope those warm temps find you!
ReplyDeleteLaurie, Thank you for that good wish. I have been outside already twice this morning. Once taking mail to the box and again to pick up the mail...that came early by 2 hours. that was close. :) Stay warm and take care of each other up there in the frozen north. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
DeleteI'm saying the same thing to myself! We've got tons of snow already and flurries even as I write. But others have it far worse. Stay warm and cozy!
ReplyDeleteYou too Judy. The sun gets pepping out here. I can see a bit of melting at the end of the drive. I'll take that as a warm up. xoxo,Susie
DeleteYes, we seem to be caught blind-sided, I know we were not quite ready for this latest cold blast !
ReplyDeleteThe view is like a picture postcard, so very pretty, especially while sitting beside a roaring fire :)
Warm up this weekend... *smile*
Hugs,
~Jo
Jo, I think if this had happen gradually , it would have been easier to accept. :) Hoping you do well through this cold snap . Blessings, xoxo,Susie
DeleteI'm not whining because I ove snow. But it did come so early and so much. I will say ice and driving in the snow, I don't like.
ReplyDeleteHey you snow bunny. :):) I hope you are able to enjoy some of this.. you know without being snowed in. I always feel stranded out here. It would be so different in town. Blessings, Stay warm. xoxo,Susie
DeleteHI Susie (:)
ReplyDeleteHA.. whining..oh I do it too...a lot...
cold here but not windy thank goodness..burrrrrrrrr
Stay warm beautiful photo !!
Hugs..Patty
Hi Patty, The sunshine really helps me feel up lifted. It is warmer here today. Hooray. I am just a mild weather person. I would like 65-70 degrees all year. LOL. Blessings , xoxo,Susie
DeleteMakes you wonder what the rest of the year will be like! Stay safe and warm, dear friend.
ReplyDeleteMilred, That has been my exact thoughts. If this is mid Jan. temperatures than what is the actual Jan. temps going to be . Last year was a long winter. Hoping this one is mild and short. LOL. Bless you, xoxo,Susie
DeleteIt is hard not to whine, Susie. It is just way to early for these bitter cold temps. However, we are supposed to hit 61 on Sunday. I can't wait. xo Laura
ReplyDeleteLaura, 61 will seem hot, after this cold stuff. Today the wind is howling but I can see some melting. xoxo,Susie
ReplyDeleteYes, we should count our blessings. I can't imagine 50 inches of snow. We had the wind yesterday. Have a good evening Susie.
ReplyDeleteMissy, I told my daughter, if I opened my front door and the snow was piled up to the top...I would be packing to move. I could only take one time like that. That would just be way too much. How would a person stay sane. LOL. Stay warm and safe. xoxo,Susie
DeleteOh I saw where they got all that snow in Buffalo. Yes- we have little reason to complain with the measly amount we got. Hope you have a great day, Susie- xo Diana
ReplyDeleteThank you Diana. I get tired of hearing myself whine. LOL...so I am going to try and not complain all winter. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
DeleteHi dear friend, I totally relate to this-we had it last week, but today the sun is shining and the sky is blue(snow is melting too). I'm glad you've got a fire going; I'm sitting on a couch and the sun is at my back, so I feel toasty.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a marvelous day and evening.
Hugs, Noreen
Noreen, We did get some melting today. the wind was high, but the sun did shine some. Love that. I have been keeping the fire burning. Which can become a job. LOL. Take care wishing you a great day. xoxo,Susie
DeleteSusie, everyone has to have a chance to whine once in awhile! Since I am still sitting in mostly sunshine, with a little rain thrown in, I'm not whining, but I know it's coming!! It really looks beautiful though!..Happy Wednesday..Judy
ReplyDeleteHi Judy, Oh today the snow did melt some. That's good. The wind was not as bitter cold as yesterday. I did go outside and stand on the porch just for some fresh air. Put the trash can away after the men came by. picked up my mail at the end of the drive. So I still get out ...just not going anywhere. LOL. We had some sun today and I always love that. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
DeleteI agree... is it spring yet?? Vicki
ReplyDeleteI would be counting the days till spring if I had a new calendar. LOL. I just feel that I must try to enjoy everyday, even if it isn't the kind of day I would prefer.Blessings, xoxo,Susie
DeleteIt's really been miserable so far this winter but hopefully it will warm up in a few days. Take care and stay warm....or come visit me! Sweet hugs, Diane
ReplyDeleteThank you Diana, so sweet. I did get outside about 4 times today. Took mail to the box, went back to get delivered mail. Took in the trash can after pickup. Stood on the porch just getting fresh air. Plenty of that with the wind. LOL. I have a fire going in the fireplace right now. Bless you, xoxo,Susie
DeleteIsn't that snow in Buffalo unbelievable? How will they ever dig out from all that?!? Take care, Susie, and stay safe! xo Nellie
ReplyDeleteNellie, If it would melt, they will flood. Where would you put that much snow if you could move it. I would be a raving coo-coo. LOL. That is why I better be good and just learn to enjoy this winter. Bless you, xoxo,Susie
DeleteIt's cold even in Ga. I'm living it. Feels like Christmas.
ReplyDeleteThat even sounds so cold for all of your southerners. My brother lives in Alabama, he is probably frozen. LOL. I know he has a snow shovel he took from when he lived in Indiana. He can shovel out if it would snow. Take care, xoxo,Susie
DeleteI hear you..I'm the same way...I can't imagine that amount of snow Buffalo has. So shouldn't complain about our 4", but.. I still don't have to lie it. Lol
ReplyDeleteGert, I talked with my SIL...he had just driven around the buffalo area. He drive s a semi !! He said he could see fleets of huge truck with powerful snow removing blades headed that way. Scary girl. Stay safe at your house. xoxo,Susie
DeleteWe all gotta whine a little now and then Susie. lol! Brr! We actually had a nice day today. In the upper 40's. It sure was cold yesterday. No snow on the ground yet. I saw Buffalo on the news. Wow, I'm feeling sorry for them! They really do have something to whine about!!
ReplyDeletehugs,
Jann
Jann, I swore I would never be a whiner...so some times after a good whine(b*tching) session , I will laugh and make fun of myself. I want to count blessings not bad things. I count you as a wonderful blog sister and that is a blessing. xoxo,Susie
DeleteIt's hard not to whine when winter comes. I probably will be when it gets here. We have had temperatures in the mid 40s and no snow. It's supposed to go into the 70s this weekend. Want to move in with me?
ReplyDeleteOh Kathy, How very sweet of you....now if you lived in a state that would truly be warmer than ours, well....LOL I think you have one of the prettiest states in autumn, but I think your winter is as bad as ours. Let's just stay safe at home. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteI would probably whine if I had snow for many days in a row too. However, that's a rare event around here. I kind of like it when it snows since we don't get it very much. Hope you get some warmer weather soon.
ReplyDeleteKelly, I know people who never get or see it much...would love it. But I do not even think Buffalo's snow would be appealing.LOL OMG, those poor people. Take care. xoxo,Susie
DeleteI've got a fire place but I can't use it. Once again, Buffalo, WOW!
ReplyDeleteB.B. Wish you could use your fire[place...maybe have it converted to gas logs. Glad you are still snow free. ours is melting and the sun is out. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
DeleteOMG! Upstate NY, my hometown, wow!
ReplyDeleteSnow is come very early this year all over the USA I see in the news.
Please take care sweet friend and keep warm.
Happy Thanksgiving.
FABBY
Fabby, I bet you are happy you aren't in NY at this time. My SIL drives semis and he just went near there.He said there were fleets of snow removal equipment headed that way. Hope your family all enjoys a wonderfully blessed holiday. xoxo,Susie
DeleteYou crack me up, Susie. Your snow pictures make my heart sing. I love them, keep showing them ok? I wish the snow would knock on my door and say hello. I just get to see it through your photos.
