Car Door



Why as kids did we always race to the car? We'd run to the car and get there well before our parents, only to be forced to wait for them to unlock and open each door for us. 🥶

Thankfully, we now have car remotes that can unlock our car doors before we even REACH the car. 😅🔑🚗

Sweater

With single pane windows, our family house would get bitterly chilly during the winter. My mother's solution when we'd complain about being cold..."put on a sweater!"

The sweaters that she'd get me were those double stitched type, though, and they itched terribly. Either I suffered through the cold, or I'd itch all day! 😖

Salt

Something else that I struggle to deal with when we get a decent accumulation of snow and ice...tracking snow and salt into the house on my shoes!

It can be a challenge to keep the carpets clean and debris-free throughout the winter! 😮‍💨🥾❄️

Shovel

What are your plans this weekend? Me...🥶❄️⛄️

I can't say shoveling snow is a favorite pastime of mine, but it's arguably worse when the snow clumps up, and you end up having to move BOULDERS of snow at a time! 😮‍💨

Sledding

Sledding was always a fun activity when it snowed, even if it only lasted a couple seconds! 😅

The truth was you ended up spending most of the time climbing back up the hill for the next run! 😮‍💨

Freeze

When the temps dropped below freezing, it was practically a necessity to wear my gloves when waiting at the bus stop. If I forgot...🥶

Melted

A major disadvantage to walking to school...on days it snowed, you usually tracked snow in on your shoe treads. The snow would melt, leaving a pool of water under your desk, which you had to deal with the entire school day. 😮‍💨
