While a lot of you are experiencing icy wintery blasts of freezing air and snow... here on the sunny Mediterranean coast of Spain we are enjoying totally different winter weather... warm and sunny with blue skies...., until today , it's  raining, but ...,   the difference is...,  it's still warm outside... yyeeyyyy We walk down the beach most days and enjoy feeling  the sun all around us as we walk... some days  are warmer than others ... but generally very mild ... we are able to sit outside,  at our favourite café, with outdoor tables and chairs and bask in the warm winter sun, and sit people watching ... BUT ....  I love snow ... when I lived in England we used to get some snow... and I loved it.. it was just enough to keep me happy... to see the countryside covered in snow and glittering in the daytime sun...  looking beautiful... and hearing it crunch underneath as you walk... I love it.. and like I said in my last post I like to take photos of snow and ice.. but ...   I'm  not sure, if I would like it so much If I had to live with it and experience it like our friends in america and canada are doing at the moment... and for weeks on end too. It's  funny isn't it...I bet if you're one of those experiencing the very cold weather at the moment... you probably think I must be mad wanting to swap sunshine for snow... but there is a part of me ...that does ... Click on the link below  and join me on our walk down the beach in the sunshine yesterday ... there may not be a thumb nail picture, you may see just a black square , click on that and it should play...

We are having plenty of sunshine now. I can understand your yearning for a bit of snow from time to time although I've lost a lot of my yearning for it.

The disadvantages of snow outweigh the advantages in my opinion

@tzwrites I always thought snow would be lovely but then people started telling me about how dangerous it can be on the roads or trying to walk anywhere and I decided I didn't want snow after all. .

I couldn't get your link to work either. I like snow to look out on. But, if I had to drive or navigate in it a lot I don't think I'd care for it much.

I like both types of winter. I really am a northern girl and if hubs wasn't so affected by the cold, we would still be up north. I always say, you can put on more clothes but there is only so much you can take off lol

We had a very little snow until now, but on Sunday we expect a little bit. I cannot say that I really like the snow, but I have the habit.

@sueznewz2 If I can stay at home, I like to see everything nice and white. If I need to go out and this means take a shovel and clean the path, it's not funny.

I understand what you mean... Anna @LadyDuck I might feel the same if I had to live with it for longer periods of time...

Your link doesn't work Sue - it just says 'File or directory not found'. I must say that I prefer the sunshine to snow any day

I am totally spoiled this winter. I've dealt with some icy driving but not near as much as is typical. I love being spoiled.

I prefer the mild weather over snow and cold. Spain looks beautiful during every season.
