We have received the first snow fall of the year and like most of the snow storms here in Nashville it amounted to nothing. We very seldom get any amount of snow that will stick to the ground and if any thing that is the one thing I do miss living here. I love to play in the snow or at least I did as a child, now that I am an old man I like to look at snow as it falls from the safety of my living room window. About the only time I get out in the snow any more is to walk the dogs and they dislike the cold so it is normally a very quick trip out and back to the house. I can not wait for spring now that is my favorite time of year.
These last few days I have been freezing, and the weather is not any colder than it has been for a couple of weeks. I guess I am just getting in winter mode and getting ready to be cold for a few months. I do normally like winter weather but now since I turned 50 I seem to be cold all the time I guess it is just in my mind but it seems very real to me. I have been walking around with a sweater on and long johns. my wife is making fun of me and calling me a sissy. How much longer until spring? It can not be more than 4-5 months until it warms up again. I hope I can make it that long with out freezing.
The weather has taken a nasty turn today it was cold and cloudy after raining all night and tonight for the first time in the weather forecast I heard a terrible word. SNOW. I am not sure if it will make it here but the only thing between us and the snow is Missouri. I love the snow as long as I do not have to get out in it, and since I work nights I get out in all of the bad weather it seems. I missed the rain last night i was off but I will pay for that tonight with it being damp and cold. Now when my feet get cold the rest of me is cold too. Once I get cold I am worthless until I get warm again. Let us hope they are wrong and it gets tropical here very soon.
