I'm being robbed of Winter!
It's going to be 87 fucking degrees today. In actuality, it should be snowing. }(

7. What I remember about Central Ohio winters
is the way the ground froze solid like a sheet of iron. One year we had a spring thaw and all my daffodils bloomed. Overnight the temperature went from 60 to 0 and my flowers froze solid. Two days later they thawed out and were fine. They had frozen so fast they weren't damaged! Where I live now, Central New York, we get buffered by Lake Ontario and sometimes get snow before a hard frost. Frost date is around October 15, but it might stay around 40-50 degrees then until Christmas. Then we might get a foot of snow all at once. The result is that the ground never freezes all winter and the grass stays green underneath.

6. I love where I live, and I joke about the snow,
but I really wish I could hibernate from January to March! I'm in Fulton New York at the Western tip of Lake Ontario and it's not unusual for us to get at least one storm a year that dumps three foot of snow overnight, (No exaggeration!)Over on the Tug Hill Plateau is where they get the real snow. Six to eight inches overnight several times a week from January through to March is is the norm most years. It's not the snow that gets me, it's the cold. This year was strange, an open winter. We had green grass all of January, but a light covering of snow all of February. I'm expecting a humongous storm (4-6')in mid-March to finish off the season.Just as long as we don't get an ice storm, I'll be happy.
