| It okay to frolic in October, especially in a t-shirt! |
I wore long sleeves all day yesterday and felt perfectly comfortable. Today, I'm wearing short sleeves and my gladiators. Pretty much what I'll wear the rest of the week, given the weather reports. But in the back of my mind, I'm trying to figure out if Ammon would look at me sideways if I pulled out my skiing boots and started breaking them in again for the season. If he'll roll his eyes a little bit when I start the pull up opening dates for the various ski resorts. Truth be told, I hate cold weather. I don't like it one single bit. I just like snow. If we could have snow and 50 degrees, I would be over the moon with joy. I've brainwashed Ammon into liking it when I have the thermostat in the apartment set at 80 degrees. In fact, last winter he was wearing sweaters inside. I don't think I've ever been more effective at bringing someone to my way of thinking.

| A perfectly warm skiing day |
And since I posted pictures of Colorado winters way back in the day when almost none of you knew I existed... I'm sprinkling them throughout this post. As a reminder of what I love, and of what I don't love. Like seeing my beloved scooter buried under a mountain of ugly parking lot snow. Sigh.
So really, winter makes me feel like I have multiple personality disorder. I love it, but I really hate it, too. And frankly, as amazing as fall sounds, Colorado doesn't always subscribe to the concept of fall... like I said, we can't make up our minds as to whether we should waterski, or snowshoe it seems.
Does your state experience fall? Or do you go straight from summer to winter in a flash?
Omg Im so used to Florida and never having snow ever, or having it even be that cold. But in Germany. oh my glob. I hear the snow isnt even the worst, its the fact that it NEVER STOPS RAINING in winter and the sun is only out for a few hours a day. I am going to be miserable.
ReplyDeleteMI has super short springs and falls, and loooong winters and summers. I would prefer about 6 months of fall! I like snow too, but it terrifies me to drive in it.
ReplyDeleteIdaho SORT of had fall...like a couple weeks of pretty leaves then BAM all sorts of snow up in there. Jackson has been in a fall like pattern since last week (70-75 degrees) and I hope it sticks around!
ReplyDeleteOh girlfriend - come to New England, you'll get all the fall you want and then some. Let's see... Fall starts in CT around September and can last straight to December. Sometimes we get snow around Thanksgiving time. But, that's ok. But if you have the winter I'd say don't come to New England in Februrary. Just stay away.
ReplyDeleteBut you and Ammon should totally plan a visit here. In like October. =)
We don't even have winter here :) Well sorta. We have maybe a month or so of cooler temps. But it only gets below freezing a few days out of the year.
ReplyDeleteWe've got all the seasons, but some like to be more strong then others, depending on the year! This year, we're actually getting a fall, so winter should be interesting! I like winter... For like 2 seconds. And then after I've shoveled a bunch & have to drive in it with idiots, I tend to not like it so much!
ReplyDeleteI love and forever miss northern utah because of Fall. Southern Utah blows in the fall.
ReplyDeleteI'm not jealous of your snow though, however I love the first snow fall of the season. love it.
I feel like NE skips fall most of the time. It's either really hot or really cold, and that's really lame.
ReplyDeleteOk i am coming to live with you because i love snow!
ReplyDeleteWhoa! really? That's crazy to me, mostly because I like in San Antonio, TX. There's no way it'll snow this time of year. Hope you guys have snuggling up in the cold air! :)
