BellaOnline Forums Sports Winter Sports Can you wait for Winter? Honestly, now

Deb, I think that type of driving is an extreme sport. I lived in Oregon for about 7 years. The community I lived n got snow every couple of years. I used to stand by the road and watch all of the craziness - no one knew how to handle it, or was equipped to drive on icy roads anyway.

I suppose the best part of the winter months for those in warmer climates is not needing AC.

I love getting out and being active in the snow, but the increased heat bills, icy roads, and having to plug in my cars engine block heater get old really fast.

Bring on the heavenly blanket of solitude... for I'm a Colorado transplant due to the job market.

I, too, am ready to disperse with the Virgina heat & humidity. Because DC area has the traffic congestion, the diversity of winter experienced drivers (from no problem <me> to lousy <most of them>) and the abundance of the invincible SUV, I have front row seat to many candidates to 'America;'s Funniest Home Videos' - just don't have a camera to film it when it happens.

B, I went to Va and DC summer before last, it was wonderful. So much cultural stuff to do! I think the hard part about living there would be making sure to take advantage of it!

Right now, it is snowing good where I live. I don't have to think about winters approach anymore, for it is here! Now, to break out the skis and find new snowshoes on Craigslist....

Green with envy!!!

I like the cold weather but don't like the snow because i have to shovel (I'm getting to old for shoveling)
And i hate the ice
But all in all i like winter for the cold temps

Skyhaven, its funny you mention those things. My 10 yo daughter was asking me why so many adults don't like winter when there are so many activities she likes to do then (playtime, basically). You mentioned a few of the adult responsibilities I named!
