Well, it is finally winter here in the eastern part of Virginia. Up until a couple of weeks ago, people were still wearing shorts and tank tops on certain days.
The only thing I have been wearing is a thin jacket. We finally had a little winter weather, and I had to dig out my coat. I only wear it a couple months of the year in this area. When I was younger, it seemed like we had longer winters with more severe weather, and a lot more snow.
Our winter is strange, some days it is cold enough to wear that winter coat and two days later, a sweater is sufficient.
I am not a winter person, though I do think snow and ice on the trees can be beautiful. I like a little winter weather. It makes me realize how much I love the spring and fall.
How do you feel about the weather in your area? Do you think global warming is taking away your winters?

I'm in Canada, and we're getting a strange winter too. LOL Sometimes I wonder.... Now it's cold, and I'm headed for Arizona, but I'm told that it's just as cold down there lately. The other day it was warmer in Canada than it was in Sedona! LOL

Well, I have to agree, we have had some wacky weather recently. I have always thought that Canada was colder during the winter months, as almost all of the cold air that we get comes from the north.
Have a safe trip to Arizona, maybe it will warm up by the time you get there.
