I will have to say, though, it's a bit of a detriment to the game of golf at times. :) I haven't played golf in years...I miss it! I'm sure you get plenty of playing time in Sunny California.

So, I live in CA after 33 years living/working in the Seattle area. I DO NOT MISS RAIN OR SNOW OR GRAY WEATHER. In fact, we had a sprinkle of rain today and I opted out of playing golf...I do not play in rain anymore. That's my rule. I know, what a baby I am. But I'll get lots done and I'll be in a good mood as I do it, while others slog around the golf course in wet conditions. Love choices! Yup, snow is pretty, new-fallen, but I don't miss it a bit.Rolynn Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09504770204968969467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9023937099212820339.post-89310286875952154342014-11-20T09:23:52.422-05:002014-11-20T09:23:52.422-05:00Uh, yeah, those books didn't paint a very pret...Uh, yeah, those books didn't paint a very pretty picture of harsh winters. :) I love the white stuff!

The total shut down of a storm is like a quiet time out. <br />Oh, and I whine that summer is too hot, too humid, and I burn easily.

Have to say I don't mind if I don't have to drive in it. You're right, Ally, being snowed in is the best. Even once when we lost power wasn't so bad. We got under blankets, burned candles, watched the snow fall. Vampires on a tropical island.
