A Winter Checklist

The Good, The Bad, The Cold

• Hot coffee, hot chocolate, and hot tea (this is not sweet tea weather)
• Scraping ice off your car windows before going to work
• Waking up to single digit temperatures
• Soups, stews, and chili (oh so many chili recipes)
• Owning a convertible (yep)
• Walking the dog in below zero temperatures
• Whiskey weather (oh so many hot toddy recipes)
• Always losing just one damn glove
• Snow in your dress shoes
• Sledding with friends while drinking the above mentioned hot toddies
• Starting the snow blower after it sat idle for nine months (damn two stroke engines)
• Hard wood floors and no slippers
• Christmas and New Year
• Breaking the ice scraper before going to work (try using you driver’s license)
• Two words: WIND CHILL
