It’s December 3rd.  You wouldn’t know that by looking outside my window. There is still some green on the earth and not a snowflake to be seen.

While there is enough chill in the air to require a sweater…still nothing.

I’m convinced that winter isn’t coming.

To some, this is a good thing. Short days with less sun, holiday madness, and driving on treacherous, icy roads: these are things to dread.  But for people like me, we live in cold weather states because we thrive in the cold.  Sub-zero is sub-perb.

It means: no sweating. Plants dying outside and allergies becoming manageable. Curling up with a book and tons of blankets while the storms rage outside. Baking cookies, cakes, breads, and other hearty fare – which is something I can’t do in summer because my oven is on the third floor. Sleeping weather where no covers need to be kicked off. Being covered up instead of having to strip down to the barest of threads, exposing a middle-aged body that wants to be strategically draped in flattering layers. Wolf-eared hats (see pic below).

Excuses to say “sorry, can’t come…it’s snowing, ya know.”  Which is nothing more than an excuse to hibernate and indulge in all my introvert glory.

Yes, I love winter. I long for it. I need to feel the cold down to my hot molten core.

It can’t get here soon enough.

Come on winter…I’m rooting for you.  If you can get here faster than the next season of Game of Thrones, it’s all good.
