'Our Mrs. Reynolds'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Burrell, let's hold hands and wait out the urge. I think we'll both be happier.
But if I turn my back for a second she is standing behind be whimpering and the cat is firmly ensconced at the bowl.
Can you shut the cat in the bathroom or something while Darby is eating?
I think, at that point, it's a freak Spring Blizzard, and does not count as winter.
Yeah, riiight...
I must admit I am curious, but I suspect I'll regret it.
Right there with you.
Oh, man. Celebrities pranking celebrities. The last one is my favorite. [link]
This year, oddly, we seem to have been basically winter-free (I think March is late enough that I can say that without jinxing it)
Here, too, but this week has been so gray and snowy and yuck that everyone has been super-cranky about it. And/or in general. It's like, now?? We thought we had gotten away with it!
I figure everyplace has its own weather/natural disaster risks, and you just pick the one you can deal with. Which often correlates to what you grew up with, as far as I can tell.

Ha! I'd imagine her Dad doing that, but I guess she inherited his sensibility.
I totally lay in enough wood for the season and stock my pantry,
True, but you're out where the tough, pioneer-spirited people live. I've got a convenience stores a block away and two more two blocks in the other direction (it's great living near a freeway offramp).
I like winter, but we get our weird idealized version of winter here, where there's a lot of snow so you feel like it's winter, but it's so dry it doesn't generally impede driving for long. And I like the rhythm of the sun elongating into the sunroom, and sitting in front of the woodstove.
The house is comfortable all seasons, but I do like a snug winter.
This could be fun. My sister just announced her engagement on FB. (She's not engaged. Just worded a sentence really really badly.) t makes popcorn
We've been mostly without winter here too, except for a couple of brief snows and maybe two weeks where it consistently stayed below freezing. The rest of the time it's been wonderful sunshine-y 50s, 60s, and 70s—the kind of spring/fall weather that I've lamented us never getting.
I worry that the price is going to be 6 months of bug-filled triple digit temperatures this summer.
For me, preparing for winter means switching the blankets on my bed, putting my bike away, and closing the insulated curtains on my windows.
