New England Winters "Yuk"

I was missing the Island the second we left back in early November and after this past Wednesday The desire to return to our little paradise is certainly stronger. Being born and raised in New England, winters were always enjoyable as a child but it seems to me the older I get the less I can tolerate snow, ice and cold weather. Below is what I always look forward too followed by what New Hampshire reality is in December.

Oh well October seems a lifetime away but at least we have STJ to look forward to.
To all a Merry X-Mas and A Happy New Year

Midwest winters aren't much fun either. We try to plan our STJ trip in the spring (May 2010). Planning and anticipation helps get me through the looooooong dark days of winter here in Michigan. I like coming back to warmer sunny days at home with a great tan. Lets face it....winter is the pits!

Top picture my favorite place.
Bottom picture could be taken here. But you do have to admit that snow is pretty. But I prefer Caribbean blue.

What was frustrating is my business is in Hampton NH and it was all rain. We got the jackpot 10"

Western NY state winters....YUK too!!! We've got three late teen/early 20s kids heading out to work for the night, and hope all three are here in the morning.
Gosh I hate this!

Loria, I feel like I've been holding my breath for 3 years. It's terrifying! They've been through about 15 vehicles, since they've been driving. We're just always ready to go wait with them while a tow truck pulls them out of a ditch or field, or bring them home while the tow truck takes their vehicle to the junk yard. We've bought them 15 cars/trucks, now!
Thankfully, they've never been hurt.
Here's some good news....AFTER the storm, it's beautiful outside. I forgot how pretty winter can be!

And our "baby" made it:
