I am just loving it! Several days of walking in temperatures in the teens; a ground that is frozen like iron steel; snow that accumulates and sits unmoved for days at a time; frost on the windows in the morning; the fireplace going at night and wind howling in the eves.
This cold snap seems abnormal and I do worry for those who have no shelter, but this is normal. I grew up in New England where freezing weather and snow wereour winter. Extreme cold kills all the bugs which attack the garden in the spring and the viruses and bugs which attack us as well. The plants in the garden love a cold chill in winter - especially the tulip and daffodil bulbs. It bode wells for the spring. After several years of soggy winters and a year of frankly putrid politics, I find this brittle cold cleansing and refreshing. Bring on the snow! I've got my long johns and my shovel. I'm ready.
