In Virginia, our climate is not so far off from that in Indiana...(~slightly~ warmer, perhaps...) We do have hot summers (complete with high humidity), and during the winter, we average 4 - 6 significant snow storms a year... meaning that it comes down, disrupts life for one or two days, and then goes away. But on a cyclical basis, we have a few "hard winters", where there is much more than the average snow and ice, and likewise years when we can wear our sweaters outside - no coats - all winter long. This year, so far, has been fairly average.
Tamara has been in Virginia for nearly (?) 30 years... So she has seen at least three cycles of our famous Virginia weather. Methinks that her curmudgeonly attitude toward the weather is because she enjoys being a curmudgeon, and with this weather, there's little else to complain about!! ; ) When you have no place you have to be, what difference does it make if the roads are covered with snow? I have to admit that I cheered when DH arrived home tonight after work. He had slogged it out with the elements to get in - on time - this morning. Thankfully, he managed to do it without mishap. But when he got home tonight, the car got stuck when he parked it in front of the house!! Yippee!! With ice expected tonight, there's no way he'll be a hero tomorrow!!
