I love snow more than most people I know. I don’t dream about being at the beach during the winter. In fact, if I were out of town in a warm location and heard that we got hit back home with a really big snow storm I’d be pretty bummed! Our overnight dumping of nine inches of snow was beautiful, and yes, I ran to the window overnight to see how much snow we were getting, but even I am ready for spring!
Here are five reasons I would like to put our snow on hold until December:
1. I want to get out and dig in my yard, trim back bushes, and plant flowers on my deck; but I’ve got to be able to find my yard first! When bags of lawn debris are placed by the curb for the recycling truck to pick up, it just doesn’t seem right for them to get covered in snow, and then plowed in.
2. I want these pretty little yellows guys to have a fighting chance! Blooming jonquils trigger a response in me that expects warm sun, walks with Bill after dinner, and reading a book on the deck; not shoveling the driveway!

3. As much as enjoy the invigorating feeling of shoveling the driveway, and consider it a really good core exercise; I’m getting tired of brushing the snow off of my SUV. I need either a bigger garage, a smaller vehicle, or less snow.
4. My running trail is a mess again, and I yearn for running in shorts, racer-back tops, and finally putting my gloves and Yaktrax away for the summer.
5. I am ready, so very very ready, to sit at this table with salmon and veggies fresh off the grill while laughing the night away with friends!
- Questions:
- Are you ready for spring?
- What screams spring fever to you?
- What’s your favorite food to grill?
So cute you ran to the window during the night to see snow!
I think that no matter how much you love snow, there comes a point when you’re ready for it to just be done. (That’s how I feel each winter even though I do love it!)
Those poor flowers. I hope they get a fighting chance, too!
I am most excited to sit in our backyard gazebo with a good book.
I do that every time it snows! For some reason, most of our snow storms pass through overnight so I don’t get to see the snow falling as much as I would like.
Ugh – I am so ready for spring. This year I am going to try to grill pizza in our grill. But my favorite is grilled veggies. Yum!
Let me know how the pizza turns out!
I am soooo ready for it! We lucked out and we didn’t get the snow that was forecast. I was pretty happy about that, although I don’t enjoy the freezing temps. I think we’re supposed to hit 50s on Thursday though, which will be nice…until it dips to 30s again. HAHAHAHA
I’ve heard rumors that there’s a chance of a major east coast storm on March 25th and 26th…
I think yesterday was the 14th snow day for our county this school year.
I start wishing for spring and warmth on the first cold day of winter. Snow is not my friend ever. I’m the one dreaming of the beach – one day I hope to live on a beach and be done with winter forever!
Here’s to your dreams coming true!
Spring! Spring! SPRING! It cannot come fast enough. It was near 70 yesterday. Then this morning? You guessed it: snow. and wind. and cold. I am So. Over. It. The End.
Today is so dark and drizzly, but at least it’s melting the snow. I’m starting to see some buds on the trees, and that makes me happy!
I am so ready for spring, too! We didn’t get much snow this time (only 2 inches or so), but we got a lot of ice. Yuck! Daffodils blooming screams spring fever to me 🙂 Favorite food to grill: Teriyaki chicken with pineapple on top.
Daffodils and forsythia!
I am totally ready for spring! I love the snow dearly but not the cold when it hits the single digits and I have to bundle up over and over again. The snow is nice but then it was, and cools again and the trails get iced over and not runnable for me, since i have no spikes or yaktracks. I would say the sun brightly shining with white fluffy clouds and no snow on the ground reminds me of spring, haven’t seen any flowers out yet but can’t wait to see the blue bells 🙂
Hope you get some warm relief soon!
