Or stories from a weather channel junkie
Right now I am looking out the front sliding doors at beautiful trees covered with snow; cardinals, junkos, finches and blue jays quickly eating on the bird feeders; and wind whipping everything. It is a wonderful white scene but step outside those doors and it is awakening with a temperature of 0 degrees and a wind chill of -25! I sure appreciate the warmth and comfort of our house on a day like this one.
I plowed the driveway with my small John Deere for a third time in 48 hours (the banks on the side are now higher than my plow) and shoveled the deck and steps too! Quite a job but I enjoy the exercise and getting outside is ok as long as I have on the right clothes. We lived in many areas with less severe winters and one known for its frequent storms. We also have been in hurricane and tornado prone areas. I remember one
Then there were the dust storms in
I am a Weather Channel junkie on occasion and part of the reason is that I like to see what the weather is like in places we have previously lived or visited.
We always found ways to enjoy the area despite the particular challenges and/or benefits of its weather! We slid down “Dead Man’s Hill” when it was icy and road the waves when it was hot! We hiked and skied the mountains and explored the plains with a vigor that military families seem to have!
Have you found a way to enjoy your current assignment despite the challenges of its weather (or maybe advantages)? Tell us about them so we can share with our readers and you can have a positive impact on someone else and their lives! Maybe they are getting ready to PCS and would like to know about their future home—your current location!
