Can it be??


The layers of ice caked on our driveway have almost melted away.
The coat that I wore to school this morning went unworn as I left school this afternoon.
The forecast on weather.com predicts temperatures over 40 for the next ten days.

The city of Buffalo is releasing a collective sigh of relief.

It appears that winter (or the worst of it) is over for this year.

I am not a winter wimp. I am from Denver, Colorado, and I went to school in Provo Utah--both snowy, cold places. But Buffalo winter has been an entirely new experience for me. Five months of endless gray, freezing winds, and icy driveway is a little much for me. It honestly starts to make me feel depressed.

I am so--and I mean SO--happy that Spring is almost here.

I plan to do the following as often as possible:
-go for after-school runs (Sure beats a treadmill.)
-wear my comfy, summery dresses (Sure beats pants and a sweater.)
-ride my red bike to the grocery store (Sure beats wasting gas.)

It may not be sunny and warm yet...but it sure feels a lot closer than it did last week.

  1. I hear ya! Saint Louis winters are nothing like Buffalo winters, but they are still gray and depressing. I love that you're rejoicing that it's 40. Today is was almost 70 here! I am in shock, and in HEAVEN!

  2. It's so funny that weather in the upper 40s is heavenly in places like Buffalo (and Madison-I remember how it is) but in San Diego, if the high is 57 and windy (today) we are FREEZING!!!!
