I find myself saying that a lot to my family and friends. As I grow older and remember the things she told us, I realize how much she knew just observing nature and the world around her. My boys talk about Grandma every time we’re together. It’s the best part of her, I think, reliving her memory from their perception, because a grandparent is so different with their grandchildren than it is with their children, something I’m finding out with Abby.
Some of the things that she always “said,” we’ll see if they come true this winter.
- You don’t get big snows when it’s really cold, the biggest accumulations come when the temperatures hover in the high twenties and low thirties.
- Winter doesn’t really kick in until about the third week in January, then look out.
- If you have a mild winter on the front end, you pay for it later and spring will be late.
So we’ll see how this pans out, we’re getting snow this morning in Heavensville, 1-3 inches predicted. It’s not quite yet the third week of the month, but it looks like nasty weather is beginning. And it’s 32 degrees right now, hmmmmm, just the right temperature, maybe it will be more in the 3” range than the 1” if ma’s predictions hold true.
And, we have had a mild winter thus far, so I hope it doesn’t bring a late spring. It’s only been snowing for an hour, and I already have cabin fever.
We’re tucked in for the day, glad that hubby doesn’t have to drive back and forth to work in this nasty weather. I made soup yesterday, so it’s a lazy day here, just playing on the computer, listening to some smooth jazz with a dog in my lap, works for me…
