Living here in south central, PA, January and February are always the worst months. It’s expected. We expect to see snow, ice, winter storms, and freezing temps. These few months is always prime time for the winter blues. I’m itching to take my kids out for a walk on sidewalks I can see. Right now it’s hard to walk anywhere. Not just because of the temps but not everyone does or is able to shovel sidewalks. Ice patches makes it hazardous. I have to walk about 3 blocks to the hospital I work at from the employee parking lot. Last year I slipped and fell on the ice and landed in a half frozen puddle. The whole side of my leg was wet. My one coworker took the heat gun for our splints and tried to dry off my pants. When they saw that wasn’t working they got me a pair of OR scrub pants to wear for the day. Sometimes though I see it and do see some beauty in it. I took this pic after I parked my car and noticed some poor guy walking down the road (told you the sidewalks weren’t any shape to walk on) in the cold.
If I’m to find something nice to say about this, it does quiet the sound of the cars that drive up and down the street in front of our house.
Every morning for work I go out and start my car up about 10-15 minutes before I go to work to melt the ice and get my car bearable to drive. I know other areas are even worse but I’m just so over this cold. Got in my car this morning, started it up and this is the temp that popped up
I posted this on facebook. My dad (whose a mailman..my mailman as a matter of fact) leaves early that I do for work. He said his temps said -20 and his radio never turned on on his way to work. I really feel bad for people like my dad who have to work every day in this dangerously cold weather. So glad he’ll be retiring in a few months.
I was asked to write a guest post for one of my car dealership clients for their blog. I felt it was fitting to write about vehicles features I’m thankful for in the winter. I’d love for you to stop and check it out.
So what’s it like in your area. Unless you live in Florida I don’t want to hear it..lol just kidding.
