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. 😮‍💨

Macho

I may not have told too many people about my interest in pro wrestling, but there were signs! 😎
