I grew up in Beaumont, Texas as well as the Atlanta, Georgia area and, although I've really come to love the four seasons we get up here, I can't say it comes naturally to me. Yay for thermal underwear!Julie Bellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15157550632857523438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4844760454340248781.post-12832332641605625332010-03-02T18:54:05.104-05:002010-03-02T18:54:05.104-05:00A nice article-- and some good reminders to get ou...A nice article-- and some good reminders to get out and about even when it's cold! Winter has been very dry this year here in Salt Lake City, but I have still realized that I should invest in a few more warm clothes if I want to be outside much in the winter. It's almost worse when you see the sun shining and rush outside thinking "Hooray"-- only to come back in shivering a few minutes later. However a simple increase in planning and larger stock of thermal underwear should fix the problem. :) (I'm officially a Southerner which is why I've had to learn the hard way that "it's really not as warm outside as it might appear.") Of course, judging by your photos, the Northeast does not have that particular problem... it certainly looks cold enough!A. L.

Good times, and a really good workout to boot!<br /><br />I can't vouch for this tune's butt grabbing properties, but it's peppy and it does answer the burning question "why did Captain Kirk climb the mountain"? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HU2ftCitvyQ<br /><br />Enjoy!Jennifer G.

The problem with the weather headlines is that they make it impossible to know when to take it seriously. I realize they can't REALLY predict the weather, but they don't need to go that extra mile in pumping up the rhetoric to such extremes!<br /><br />As for the natural daylight lamps, I've never tried them, but I would think they'd be helpful. I'm sure your friend in Ohio would benefit from it and appreciate that you're thinking of them!Julie Bellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15157550632857523438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4844760454340248781.post-4569997828041314832010-03-01T11:54:45.551-05:002010-03-01T11:54:45.551-05:00Hey Julie,

But I was wondering; what do you think of those natural daylight lamps for those extra gray days? Have you ever tried them around the house? I just remember those episodes of "Northern Exposure" where everyone was wearing a lighted visor during the Winter months.I was thinking of something like that for a housebound family member in Ohio (though luckily the house has lots of big windows)!<br /><br />Yep, I've got to stop looking at those crazy weather headlines. "Snow hurricane"? I think what they were really predicting was a good ol' fashioned Nor-easter. Ay-yup! The backyard looks beautiful, BTW. All that snow would be perfect for building a snow Chewbacca! ;-)Jennifer G. Oliverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05921022924125424519noreply@blogger.com
