What A Difference A Day Makes
Friday, it was windy, raining and temps in the mid 50s.
This morning, it was nine degrees.
We did have snow, but nothing to write home to
mom about.
Oh well. It is winter.
Winter by Lauryn Hill
“Everything is everything
What is meant to be, will be
After winter, must come spring
Change, it comes eventually”
~ Lauryn Hill
Invincible Love
“My dear, In the midst of hate, I found there was, within me, an invincible love. In the midst of tears, I found there was, within me, an invincible smile. In the midst of chaos, I found there was, within me, an invincible calm. I realized, through it all, that… In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer. And that makes me happy. For it says that no matter how hard the world pushes against me, within me, there’s something stronger – something better, pushing right back. Truly yours, Albert Camus”
Winter is not a season, it’s an occupation. ~Sinclair Lewis
Summer
My old grandmother always used to say, Summer friends will melt away like summer snows, but winter friends are friends forever.
~ George R. R. Martin
Bleak Midwinter
“In the bleak midwinter Frosty wind made moan, Earth stood hard as iron, Water like a stone; Snow had fallen, Snow on snow, Snow on snow, In the bleak midwinter, Long ago.”
~ Christina Rossetti, Poet 1830-1894
Six Word Sunday
Snow, wind, ice. A perfect trifecta.
“What good is the warmth of summer, without the cold of winter to give it sweetness.” ~John Steinbeck
“If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant.” ~Anne Bradstreet
“February dawn — frost on the path Where I paced all winter.” ~ Jack Kerouac

Its January

This is what its all about
Mother Earth ~ Mitchell Burgess
“If winter is slumber and spring is birth, and summer is life, then autumn rounds out to be reflection. It’s a time of year when the leaves are down and the harvest is in and the perennials are gone. Mother Earth just closed up the drapes on another year and it’s time to reflect on what’s come before.”
~ Mitchell Burgess
March
It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade. -Charles Dickens (1812-1870), Great Expectations
Winter
To shorten winter, borrow some money due in spring. ~W.J. Vogel
Winter Quote ~ Ogden Nash
Winter is the king of showmen,
Turning tree stumps into snowmen
And houses into birthday cakes
And spreading sugar over lakes.
Smooth and clean and frosty white,
The world looks good enough to bite.
That’s the season to be young,
Catching snowflakes on your tongue.
Snow is snowy when it’s snowing,
I’m sorry it’s slushy when it’s going.
~Ogden Nash
Winter
He who marvels at the beauty of the world in summer will find equal cause for wonder and admiration in winter…. In winter the stars seem to have rekindled their fires, the moon achieves a fuller triumph, and the heavens wear a look of a more exalted simplicity. -John Burroughs, “The Snow-Walkers,” 1866
Winter Afternoons
There’s a certain Slant of light,
Winter afternoons –
That oppresses, like the Heft
Of Cathedral Tunes –
Heavenly Hurt, it gives us –
We can find no scar,
But internal difference,
Where the Meanings, are….
When it comes, the Landscape listens –
Shadows – hold their breath –
When it goes, ’tis like the Distance
On the look of Death.
~Emily Dickinson, c.1861
Summer Quote – John Steinbeck
Spring
The calendar tells
me that Spring
begins on March 20
at 12:30 a.m.
Weather people tell
me a snow storm is
going to happen on
the very first day of
a brand new season.
They .said we can
expect up to a foot
of heavy wet snow.
You got to love
the El Nino weather
patterns.

Winter
Today is the first full day
of Winter. Here, in the
Northeast part of the
country, it is early in
the evening, and it is
in the mid-50s, come
Thursday near 70.
Truly weird weather.
Springtime In New England
Dirty Snow
March 20 is to be the first day of Spring, but here in the Boston area, and doesn’t have the feel of a new season set to begin, as it has and still is windy as all hell, with wind chill factors at times in the teens. Also, there is snow to arrive on Friday, and in some places it could be a plowable one.

Just A Thought
With all
the snow
in the
past three
weeks, which
was a
good amount,
there is
one way
and the
best way
of looking
at it,
Laugh!
No sense
in getting
all bent
out of
shape, as
it won’t
do you
any good.
Besides, its
Winter!
Enjoy it,
maybe next
Winter will
be one
of those
small amounts
of snow.

The Snow Piles Are Getting Higher
This pile of snow is taller than me, and down the street, the piles are higher.

Windows
Wife texts husband on a cold winter’s morning:
“Windows frozen, won’t open.”
Husband texts back:
“Gently pour some lukewarm water over it.”
Wife texts back 5 minutes later:
“Computer really screwed up now.”

Summer
Oh well
Since this is Groundhog Day, Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow, crawled back to his place. This means six more weeks of winter.
According to the calendar, there is six more weeks to go of the winter season, and then spring takes over. So what’s the big deal?
Oh well.

Wet Snow Day
Got about two inches of heavy, wet snow. It was in the mid 30s F, so that isn’t to bad. The colder weather will be here, come Tuesday. Click on image to enlarge it.Source of quote
Winter
Spring passes and one remembers one’s innocence.
Summer passes and one remembers one’s exuberance.
Autumn passes and one remembers one’s reverence.
Winter passes and one remembers one’s perseverance.
— Yoko Ono

Winter Solstice
Today, December 21, begins the first official day of winter. It is also the shortest day of the year, day light wise. As the days start getting longer again, we will have one extra second of day light beginning Wednesday, and as the days go by, gradually the sun will be rising earlier, and setting later, right up to June 21, then back to the days of getting shorter again.
With this being the first day of the winter solstice, depending where you are, cold, sometimes frigid weather, snow, sleet and if we’re lucky warmer temperatures and just plain old rain. I prefer the liquid over the white stuff, and surely not a big fan of black ice, since I’d practically wrecked my shoulder, from slipping on it, many years ago. The cold I can deal with, as I have always loved the cold weather, versus the hot, humid air that comes in during the summer. In any case, 90 days from now, spring will be here.
