It has maybe snowed a total of 3 inches this winter in Cincy, so I'm always jealous of those with snow; it's just a big mudbath here most winters with maybe one or two good snows.
My grandma in Toledo is getting horrible cabin fever though with how snowed in they've been, so I understand your plight. Hang in there.

I didn't mind the snow on Sunday, but the cold temps I could do without. Didn't someone say that the almanac said we would have a warmer than normal January?

i think its they grey and the muckyness that gets too us all. i am always delighted when all the yuck is covered with a light dusting of new snow. and the sun is sparkling
on the flakes. if its 'dry' cold i can deal with the cold.
its clammy that i really just hate. although sub zero is never one of my favorite times of year, it too is ok if you don't have to go out in it.

to fight off the greyness of winter my Dr has upped the amount of antidepressants i'm taking, so this year seems much better--- better living thru chemistry--, the other thing i do is plant a succession of crocus's in pots to force during the winter. i have about 12 4-6inch pots that
i start and keep under the back porch. after new years i ghet one out about every 2 weeks and that gets me thru the gloomiest times. also this past week i went and clipped forsythia to force as well. and next week i'm going to the cleevland botanical gardens-- where it will be ghreen and warm.

my wife would just prefer a week in florida.
