(Wiener trying to keep warm. She even has her "Tinkerbell" dress on and is still cold)Almost 40 years ago, we moved to a wonderful area of sunshine and blue skies. Summers were balmy; winters were mild-usually in the 70s. It was great. The weather was unpredictable in that you never knew exactly WHEN it was going to rain-but it never lasted long and most days were beautiful. In fact, the main newspaper in the area gave away free papers when you did not see the sun some time during the day.
The change has been slow, but we now have a few "winter" days of "FREEZING" early morning hours. I actually had "frost" on my windshield yesterday morning. It took several minutes for my heater to melt it so I could see to drive. I have driven to work in 30 degree weather the last 2 mornings.
My hatred of cold weather started at a very early age. I had to walk to school in snow, "uphill both ways" when I was in elementary school. I had to "stand out in the cold" to catch a bus to school in my teens. My bones actually ache when it gets cold. I can NEVER get warm, even when wearing double sweaters, my "Pooh" gloves and jacket, I still ache all over. You can see why I must move from this area. I can't stay here another winter. Yep. I've decided. Soon I'm moving to Florida where it is warm all the time.
