Snow in our country - not here but it is near freezing. There has been ice on the car two mornings running. I am drinking hot chocolate and breathing on the screen to warm us both up. Making curry too.
I'm not ready for snow yet. I like the colors of autumn, and slightly brisk whether is OK, but I can't stand cold weather. We had 30 mile per hour winds here yesterday, in addition to low temperatures. Not. Fun. :( Give me spring any day.
I like autumn colors. Even a little brisk weather is OK. But it's downright cold here, with temps in the 30s and winds gusting at 30-ish mph. Yuck. :( Do not want!
(Wow. It's like I'm an optimist all of a sudden. *g* It won't last.)
Haha. I won't have a chance to crave the cold; I'm due Feb. 22nd, and it'll still be plenty chilly here then, unfortunately. (Or fortunately, depending on how you look at it!)
Well i for one is very happy that the weather has turned to the chillier side. only 19 more days to go till due date so you can imagine how i'm feeling.
had last ultrasound today and she's perfect at 3100g so now we're just waiting.
I feel for you and am sending virtual hugs your way; hoping it warms me up too! Currently I'm just thanking God that the snow that hit Ottawa, didn't hit us!!
Here in Italy (or, at least, where I'm living at the moment) it's quite hot. They were putting up the Christmas decoration in the streets today and it looked like spring outside! You could come and visit to enjoy the heat: I don't know what I'd give for a little cold and snow! :)
I hear ya! I had the same problem last night. I was finally beginning to get come to terms with the idea that it was now autumn and no longer summer, but yesterday the first frost reared its head so now I suddenly have to come to terms with the fact that autumn is basically already over again and winter is busily limbering up for its reign.
My hands and feet were freezing from my bike ride home from the train station and I just couldn't get warm again.
Finally I'd had enough and took action (suddenly I'm hearing Cam in my head "and when I say action I mean New York action!"). I put on my favorite thick wool sweater (tent, basically), warm leggings, two pairs of socks, grabbed a steaming mug of hot double-strength-double-dose-espresso, a shot of Remy Martin cognac and a shot of old-fashioned Mulder & Scully squeeing (Rain King was a fabulously romantic episode!) and before long I was all warm and toasty again!
Obviously brandy isn't optional for you right now (maybe not even coffee - admittedly I'm not completely up to date about coffee and pregnancy - but in that case tea will do fabulously), but the rest works like a charm, I assure you! (replace with B&B squeeing at your discretion)
I hate winter. Absolutely hate it! Fall is still OK -- at least there are gorgeous colors to enjoy. But I would probably be pretty happy with eternal spring. *g*
Your coping techniques sound delightful! You're right, brandy isn't an option right now, but a little caffeine is considered OK. So coffee would work, even if double-strength espresso might be pushing it. :) And that combined with the wool sweater, leggings, and the fictional pairing of my choice should do the trick. Thank you for the suggestions. One of these days, I will catch up on X-Files, at which time I'm sure there will be much M/S squeeing to be heard from my tiny corner of the world.
I hear ya! We had our first snow here already! Granted, it didn't even come close to sticking, but...I'm not ready for snow, yet! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

It hasn't gotten too bad over here, although Washington never seems to get super extreme weather (thank goodness!).
Hope though that it warms up for you soon - being that cold when it's not even November yet = ick :(
