We're permenant here...hopefully! People back home (the midwest) are having freezing drizzle as I type and there's a winter-storm-watch out for tomorrow into the weekend. Some places have a 10" forecast to look foreward to. Arrrrrrgggghhh! I know it's all relative...BUT...hopefully those of us in T.V. won't have to deal with any of that.

When I first started spending winters in TV, I thought I'd be happy to never see another Canadian snowflake again. This will be my fourth snowless winter. By now, I've forgotten all the bad stuff about snow and I only remember all the good stuff. Especially riding my horse in the forest during the first snowfall of the year. I'm actually starting to miss the little white flakes. I know they look better on TV than they are in person, but there is something romantic about snowflakes.

Barefoot,
I'm still up here in the far far north and it was -01 ! this morning and the snow that fell in October will still be here in May!

I wonder if I will ever miss the snow once we have moved back to Florida.

We will be back in TV in 3 days!

See you soon.

See you soon Halle.

It's taken me four winters to miss snow, and I'd only want it around for a week at the most! And no freezing temperatures, a balmy 30 would be nice.

Snow from October until May?
