In a word, no - I am not looking forward Raynaud's acting up in my feet and hands. But I do love fall, just not winter cold.

I don't have Raynauds but I am SO cold intolerant, it hurts.  (pun intended!). I love the fall but it doesn't love me and winter is just a killer wench.

Heck No!
Only things I like about winter is 1) the snow looks pretty and 2) Christmas. Otherwise it is too cold, expensive and causes too many problems.  :'(

They set us up at work so if it gets so bad that we cannot come in, we can work from home off our own computers. Sigh ::) Or we take an unscheduled absense which counts against us. I got a snowblower but they are not THAT easy to use! Especially if the snowplow packs 3-4 ft at the end of your driveway! If I have to,I might have to catch a ride with a worker from another dept around the corner if she can get out.

So winter always gives me the tough decisions - how crummy do I feel? - should I come in to work today? - and how much should I bust my butt to get in early? (ie how much physical work & stress I can take) and can I live with the consequences tomorrow?
