Too cold to think!

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Richard Weisser Realty

Snow in Turin GA by Richard WeisserOne of the reasons I moved to the South way back when was to avoid the harsh reality of Winter in Western Pennsylvania.

But over the decades since I moved to Georgia, Old Man Winter has occasionally found his way to these supposedly temperate parts!

And with single digit temperatures predicted over the next few days, I will be the beneficiary of a free refresher course in frigid activity awareness. It’s a curriculum that I thought I had successfully completed years ago!

 

To tell you the truth, as much as I like continuing education, I am not looking forward to it!

Richard:

I hear you. I am not a fan of cold. I don't mind sweating out the summers but man I hate the cold.

I am sorry that you are having to experience this cold wave again. But look and the bright side and remember the good times you had in the past while snowed in.

Richard, my guess is that winters in western Pennsylvania were similar to Chicago, my home before we moved to the Nashville area. We love it here, but the occasional cold blast is a rude reminder that cold is not that far away!

Richard, It will only make you appreciate the weather in your area even more. Please stay warm. Not necessary to think too much. We are having a heat wave...warm enough to rain.

This time next week and I would be on my way 8 hours further south.  heavy sigh.  I am not looking forward to it either.  I really hate that Abigail and Donald both have to go to work and drive in it no matter how stinkin bad it gets.
