Your very comfy attire suggests that stove is working well for you. I love your snow photo though. I always enjoyed a good snowfall so long as it didn’t last too long! I suspect that’s not the case where you are.
I claim having a bad head cold made me choose all plaid š¤£ Hans shoveled 2 feet of snow off the roof 3 days ago. This will be around for awhile, Graham.
Too much snow, but never too much plaid. You look comfy and warm Terri. I like all types of buffalo plaid. I say go for it, the moose and reindeer did too!
We’re certainly warm, although temperatures dropped into the 50’s today but into the 60’s for the highs soon. We lived for many years on the east side of Cleveland in the western end of the snow belt that ended in Buffalo. We got lots of snow but nothing like what they get there!!
Oh I totally get it! It got to 45 here yesterday, a veritable heat wave! As long as we have sunny days I’m good with snow and cold. Your holidays sounded just right!
WOW Terri!!! Is that your house? There is no way I could live where that happens every Winter š²
As for your outfit……that would be a very effective birth control š
In some places you do, Terri. Today, we drove from 11,000ft and wearing wool hats and long clothes to 3,000ft and sweating with our flip flops, shorts, and T-shirts! š
I count shoveling as a fitness activity to turn it into a win. I’m not as confident with the plaid photos but I could post one wearing plaid as well! But I won’t š

Far too much snow for me but you look cosy in your plaid and I reckon at Christmas you can easily get away with this amount š

Thanks, Sarah! I’m used to snow after 3 winters here. I’ll keep wearing plaid, but in smaller doses in public. Hope you had a joyous Christmas š
