When it snows over here ... everything comes to a standstill! <br />When I was a youngster you could guarantee there would be snow every winter and whilst it might have been inconvenient for travel we embraced the challenge. I even recall spending a night or two out in the snow with a hiking friend holed up in a bivi-bag ... great fun. Life seemed so much simpler 50 - 60 years ago but now anything that hinders normal daily life is seen as a damned nuisance to many folk. <br />Personally I enjoy the cooler climates.

I must confess I absolutely love snow and the white landscape beauty that it creates, even the slushy snow inspite of slipping every time I get out :) Also, it gives a convenient reason to work from home.

I slept inside a small igloo with another person. I hated it, because I also learned that all night long, as we slept, the walls moved in towards us. It was scary! But now I can look back and appreciate it. Thanks for the memory, Red! :-)DJanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07152183871573797791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8688207620251526295.post-61021809216848775832012-02-23T22:38:41.461-07:002012-02-23T22:38:41.461-07:00Give me cold over hot any day.

Of course living in south western BC I've never experienced REAL cold.
