Open winters suck.
All those kids getting skis and snow shoes tomorrow morning are going to have a major sad.
I don't even know if there is enough ice on lakes and ponds to go skating...
Winter in Maine without snow and ice is effing boring.
Yup

Lucky I was good this year.

(16,744 posts)Of course, "When I grew up in upstate NY, we had 4 feet of snow by December 1st." My memories from 60-70 years ago are probably a bit clouded....
Card and board games, puzzles, crosswords, word games (charades, anyone?). Notice I didn't suggest that everyone retreat to their phone/pad/tablet/etc.?
Enjoy conversations. Go for some nice long walks in the woods (forest bathing). Jog, run, crawl (in my case).
Pretty soon we'll all complain about winter, too much snow/ice, too many out-of-town skiers, etc.

Cold, damp and light rain. Not very Christmas-y.

(2,449 posts)We did have a foggy morning and a cloudy day with temps in the mid 50s. Its 47 now. I think the weather guy said spring-like temps for a couple more days then it will be much colder, in the 30s for the New Year. Im not looking forward to that. Im good with mid 50s and no snow!!
