Are you dreading the winter?

You are a good neighborhood that you are deligent to shovel your driveways and I am sure the driver would appreciate for your behaviours. It will increase the safety if you can shovel the snowaway. It seems that you seldom communicate with your neighbourhood, why not tell them directly that they should clear the snow in the way before their house so that drivers can pass by? The province that I live seldom falls the snowfall here, but I have ever lived in the city with snowfall occured, thus I can understand your mood. It is really annoying that we should shovel the snow away in the dreadful cold winter continuously. Have a nice day.

I hate winter. I like Christmas but I kind of hate to see it come because winter comes along with it. I live outside of Pgh. Pa. and we have nasty winters. My driveway is 175 feet long and the mailbox is at the top by the road, so if it snows to much I can't even get the mail. I don't shovel my driveway or sidewalk. I am disabled so I can't really. I sometimes get friends to do it, but it's soo long I hate to ask anyone. This year I am paying someone to plow it but only after we get four inches or more. I can usually get my car out if it's that amount. The problem is when they plow the roads, they make a mound at the top and it's hard to get thru it. If there is ice forget going anywhere. I don't work, so at least if there is a lot of snow I don't have to drive in it, or worry about getting somewhere at a certain time.

I live in the southern United States.. whoever says it's not cold in the winter must live quite a bit farther south than me. I am in north carolina currently and let me tell you.. ten degree weather is cold enough for me. I know a lot of people exclaim.. ten degrees! It gets minus whatever where I live.. Well. I don't care.. if it gets cold enough to freeze it gets cold enough for me! This isn't me whining.. this is me complaining about having to replace my water pump every year or two even with insulation and heat lamps. That's what I dread about winter.. having to spend a week or six at a time welling water up to cook or take a bath. Sure some people would kill to have their water source right outside their house for easy welling.. but those people don't live in countries were you get used to having water flow right into your house either.

No. I'm not dreading the winter because here in our country winter is not much feel. Because most of the time it's hot even do this will be winter season...I anticipate that this December i feel winter. Have a nice day!

Hello ilyzium I dread the winter every year. I live in Pennsylvania and we get our fair share of snow here. We have been fortunate enough this year not to have gotten any so far this year but we all know it is coming as it is being called for by this coming week. I think the snow is beautiful I just wish we didn't have to go out into at all. If we could have it in Christmas day and then have it melt away I would be happy enough. The only thing I like about winter is the chance it gives us to cuddle up on the couch with my family and stay warm watching movies.

We had a really hard winter last year and I thought that by now I would be over it and ready to see snow again. I'm not. I don't want to deal with it. We have one car that does okay in the snow, but it's starting to get old and I don't work as close to home as I used to. So yes, I am dreading the winter months.

Oh no, we don't have that kind of winter, nor does it get so cold. I live in south India. When I was little, it used to get cold, that all. We did have to wear sweaters. Now with all the environmental problems, we just don't need a sweater at all. I miss that winter though. I would love to experience a little snow, not the way you say you have it there, but just a little where we could have fun.

I don't really mind the snow, if I don't have to go anywhere. But then again, how often does that happen. I usually have somewhere to go all of the time. Last year, I spent the winter in Myrtle Beach. It was really nice, because we only got a light dusting of snow a couple of times the whole winter. Plus, I was on the beach and in a community that had steam rooms and a gym. This year, I am back up north. And, since I am living with a friend, I can't even park my car in the garage. So, I will be sweeping it off every time it snows. However, it won't be as bad as a few years ago when I worked at the car lot and had to sweep off 40 or 50 cars every time it snowed. LOL

Now that I live in the south I am not dreading winter. Winter is a nice time of the year in the south. Very mild not cold no snow to shovel.

Where I'm from, our winters usually aren't that bad. However, this year has been unseasonable cold and our summer was not dry as it usually is. I have a feeling that we are in for a long, cold winter. Although it will be nice to have snow, I dread ice and sleet. In addition, people around here drive in snow and ice like it is the middle of summer. So, yes, I think I am dreading it a bit.

I am really dreading the winter. You see, I live in the northern part of our country and the winters here are really wild. I think the worst thing about winter is the low temperature. Of course, during the winter, the cold wind is another annoying thing. When the winter is coming, I prefer to stay at home and spend most time on surfing the Internet and do my work at home. Only when it is snowing outside, then I may go out to enjoy the beautiful scenery after the snow. Although I have lived in the northern part of our country for many years, I can't get to accustomed to it.

As far as I'm concerned,I like winter when I wil see the snow.Because in my hometown,there is just little snow which made our hometown just be dry.We are short of snow ,which can makes my hometown wet and have fun in the snowy days. I think I can enjoy the fun of playing with the snow. So I looking forward the snow's coming. No matter liking winter or nt,we still need to enjoy our life. Have a nice day.

hhmmm i live in Indonesia and no winter here :( and i never seen snow directly so i never feel what you feel..

Winter is the season I despise most. I can't stand cold weather, and last year when it snowed, it snowed very heavily, but where I lived wasn't prepared for snow at all, so because of the snow and ice the postman didn't came in a full week. When winter begins I just hope it will already end.

I dread it as well. Our street department tries real hard to keep the side streets cleared but it's not easy. We live about 3 blocks off a main street in a subdivision so our street might not be cleared for a day or more. We also live on a slight hill which makes it worse. I am concerned this year because I take care of our grandbaby and the drive to their house is about 20 minutes from us on a clear day. I won't be anxious to go out by 6am to babysit but the kids need to get to work. Last year I didn't need to worry about the drive since our daughter didn't work. I have an suv but haven't driven in the snow yet so this could be a real challenging winter.

For myself, yes probably. But my daughter loves the snow. And building snow men with her dad outside. And my son will be a year old in December. It will be his 1st experience with snow. I will LOVE seeing his reaction!

I do love the first part of winter, the beauty of the snow, and the holidays. But I have to admit, that long before spring finally arrives, I do get tired of the work and semi-confining elements of winter. Karen

Winter is really a dreadful time of the year but what do you do, you have to face it. It was said on the news that this years winter would not be as bad as last years and I hope that it would be that way.

Nope, I am not dreading the winter at all. In fact, I'm actually looking forward to it. Our winters here are very, very cold and it's not unusual (though it never happened last year) to be greeted with a spot of snow. For me, the winter gives me a chance to relax and unwind, and reflect upon the year that's drawing to an end. In the winter, there is nothing I love more than hibernating in the warmth of my home and gazing out of my window at the soothing rain and grey skies whilst I take the opportunity to finish some work on the computer, watch a film that I've been meaning to get around to or just generally laze about, all with a steaming mug of tea or hot chocolate in my hand. The best part about it is nobody judges you either, because nobody expects you to venture outside due to the harsh weather conditions. Another reason I love the winter is because of Christmas, and the holidays surrounding it. Being given a few weeks away from work is simply brilliant, and gives me a chance to just chill out and take a breather from a busy year. And then there's Christmas itself, which for me, is undoubtedly the best time of the year. It's great spending Christmas with all the family, gorging myself with all the wonderful food and unwrapping all those amazing gifts, warmed up by the blazing fireplace and watching with the kids at the snow falling and wishing for enough snow to make a snowman. In many ways, for me, winter can be more enjoyable than the summer.

I am not looking forward to snow at all!!! ... I had moved to South Carolina where I stayed for 8yrs. If they saw a snow flake the whole city got shut down because they just are not prepared to handle that type of weather. I recently have moved back to Ohio (lake effect snow) where last yr they started getting snow prior to halloween. So far so good this yr no snow YET . Now my son who is 15 is excited about snow he wants to go sledding,make a snowman and all the fun winter things, but he doesn't have to drive in it. I don't think it matters where you live anymore drivers a terrible everywhere. They are all in their own little worlds not paying attention to their surroundings. I just pray that when it does start its a short season LOL not the usual 6 months from November to May. Time will tell.
