Its cold, there's snow

Snow. It has been lying on the ground now for nearly a week, the longest I ever remember snow staying without beginning to melt before another layer or just coming and going. To be honest, it's quite nice unless you have to drive in it, but looking at it and being out in it is soo fun! We gots a new layer today, so after I built Mr. Chills the last day, today it was time for an igloo...well, any hut feature made out of snow and ice has to be classed as an igloo right, not just the icy ones the little Eskimos create. I sadly had to...recycle...Mr. Chills to to so, but he was beginning to look like something from 'The Nightmare Before Christmas' so, he was happy not to just, melt away. So, it took me nearly all day, and by the time I went in home, it was dark(ish) and I suddenly realised that it was 4.30 and I had forgotten to eat...imagine that, snow and fun makes you forget that you have a stomach, good job huh? So I warmed up with a nice chinese. Anyway, I like walking in the snow too, looking at the nice sights and getting to wear my wellies and ski wear without looking like a complete idiot :). Look at the blog page and there should be snow falling!

However, with the snow comes the cold, and with the cold comes snow, sometimes. Now, the temperatures are sitting in the minuses, and that is not nice let me tell ya, and the snow is turning to ice and going nowhere. During the night the temperatures get to -10 and to around -2 or 2 during the day. Nice. I end up wearing so many layers I look like a sumo wrestler when I am at work. More hateful is when I have to get up in the morning. Do I get up though...nah. Wake up, stick a toe out, straight back into bed and back to sleep until it is absolutely necessary to get up. Even more hateful is having to pee during the night. OMFG...and rolling over to a more comfy position doesn't even work because if you move, you end up in a cold place in the bed...not nice! That's the cold....it makes you pee, so much more!

That's the body's way of....trying....to keep us warm. Keep blood away from the surface, higher blood pressure and no sweat = pee much! What else does the cold make you do?....Shiver, shake, curl up in a ball, fall on your ass in the ice, fry in front of a fire, lay in bed etc etc. But that's what winter is and its nice....in its own way...

Toot-a-loo...
