Virginia’s Prolonged Winter

Unlike many, I actually LOVE Winter! I do want to add that I have a well insulated home, a car with heat, a healthy body, and I work indoors. There are many who are not so fortunate, and it’s especially difficult on the days where temperatures have been consistently below 15 degrees Fahrenheit (not typical for Southwest Virginia).

I love a good snow, especially in these days of climate change when, at least here in Virginia, we don’t see the snow as in the past. It’s all about the beauty, the peace, the quiet, AND the time with friends.

Along the New River

Back at home

And finally, sitting in my comfy chair while watching the snow fall

Happy, Happy Me!

  1. I’m glad it makes you happy. That does look pretty through your lens. Truth be told, I only appreciate the snow through Christmas 😆 It’s just not such an anomaly to be appreciated here, at least by me. -15 F does seem pretty chilly for your region ! We had frigid temps in December, but February has been mild compared to the normal temps at this time. Our river freezes, along with everything and everyone else, LOL. Stay warm lovely 🩷xK

    • I was thinking of you as I shared these photos … some of my friends from various parts of the northern US and Canada get awful tired of frigid temps! I’m glad February has been better … spring days are ahead! ❤

  2. I hate winter. I hate the cold, and the snow. It’s not too bad in southern Rhode Island. Still. We do get a few big snowstorms each year. And I grew up in the Adirondacks in northern New York State. I do, however, love your photos of winter.

    • You are kind to like my photos despite the winter subject, Mary. I dont know many others who love winter as I do … really what I like is the seasonal change. Right when the cold is too much, spring comes along. All too soon, though, is the heat of summer (which I worry about with global warming). But then! The gorgeous colors of fall. Ah ….

  3. Beautiful photos of your snowy winter, Laurie! We don’t have much snow here and will be having several days in the 40’s and maybe 50’s on at least one of those days. I am itching for spring, which is what usually happens around this time, but I know there are still days of cold and snow before spring rolls around.
