I enjoyed the cold weather, and being able to put the thickest comforter on the bed. And the snowstorms were very pretty to watch. When there's a winter storm outside, I love to bake - it keeps the kitchen warm and fills the house with delicious smells. Ice storms aren't very much fun, unless they leave the trees encased in a glassy coat of ice that sparkles in the sun... but that's bad for the trees (not to mention having a similar glassy coat of ice on the road surfaces!). They're predicting some more "mixed precipitation" (mainly rain this time) for Saturday.

And Imbolc and Groundhog Day are over - Gung Hey Fat Choy!
