#SAM-Saturday rulesSAM Saturday challenge by @bluemoon is a wonderful way for all of us to get to know a little more about each other.
I live in the north central part of the USA and winter is a big part of our lives here. We got our first snowfall of the season yesterday morning.
The cold temperatures predicted this week will put an end to Autumn very quickly. We will enter a winter season that lasts 5 or 6 months and everything will be predominantly in black and white.
I don't like winter. The only reason I have stayed here is because this is where my grandkids are and this is where my family is. I really dislike the cold, but as long as I can stay indoors and observe winter through the window, I can appreciate how beautiful it is.
Do you live in a place that has snow? And do you enjoy winter, or not?

Ooh how I can feel you my dear Melinda ! Winter is my less loved season because I'm so very sensitive to cold ;-) Yet, I'm living (and was born) at the mountains, I don't ski at all, but I stay there because I love this place and well you know...Annecy...well yes, you know ;-)
Until a few years ago, I really had hard times with winter and cold..
until I decided to make peace with that, as it is aimed to come back every year and for a few months during my whole life, I thought it was a pity to cease to leave during winter, or at least to cease to appreciate beauties of life, because that was in fact what was unbearable ;-)
So I made peace with winter by buying very warm and cosy clothing and shoes, sweet blankets, buying good winter tires for my small car, and enjoying every things winter had to offer, like walk in the snow by sunny weather, having an hot drink at home while looking through the window, moving a bit more at home to be less cold, envelopping in fluffy blankets, taking pictures of beautiful landscapes....
in short, I focus on everything good about winter and avoid being conditionnal upon season to enjoy life or not..since I do that, I have to confess that my winters are beautiful, and even if it's not my favourite (Autumn !!), it is now a season I can peacefully or joyfully enjoy ^_^
I wish you a bright winter my dear friend !xoxo
I completely understand and agree! There are many ways to make cold winter days more tolerable, and I need to remember that and celebrate winter more,
How are you ?
Honestly I also don't like winter, but the picture you share is really beautiful with snow falling.
Thanks for this.
Success is always for youHi @melinda010100
The rainy season or winter, it is very bad for me ... because I always hinder my activities ... thank you for sharing my good friend, hope the winter runs out quickly, and continues summerI also do not like my best friend's winter, but in our area, for this month the rain is very heavy, the night is always raining, in our place, it is raining, not snow ,, different from where you live, friend @melinda010100
Beautiful photos. We almost never get snow here. Maybe twice in the all the years we have lived here. You notice the lack of change of seasons, but I'm not sure I really miss them. Snow is beautiful though...
Happy Saturday! I hope you are having a wonderful time. Beautiful photography.
Thanks for using eSteem!

I used to like winter when I was a kid. Lately, not so much. I reckon, the snow around Christmas is a must but it has to disappear by...middle of January (and this is me being generous). 😂
We still have beautiful sunny days, a little colder than before, but I'm sure this will soon change. Heavy snow and blizzards are part of the usual Romanian winter season.
Cool shots, by the way. 🙂
we are here again in the rainy season. if the cold winter has never felt. how cold is the snow. many people say that slju granules are very beautiful like pearls. in Aceh we experience the rainy season every year the rain is very heavy and it is flooded with lots of rain.
I live in a country that has no snow, Indonesia is only the rainy and dry season.
hola amiga realmente nada en exceso es bueno a mi me gusta el frio pero no tanto como para vivir meses de invierno.. jejeje saludos y espero disfrutes con sus nietos...
Wish I could come sit on your beach until March!
Hello, We live in a part of country that gets snow, ice, rain, and cold from November to April. I like some parts of winter and dislike other parts.
Love
I don't like winter either. I like looking at fresh snow through the window though
Beautiful snow photos.
For family, there are many of us that will keep living in places that aren't where we believe we could be the happiest, weather wise at least. I don't have near that much winter and I could still do with less.
Snuggle in ! Stay warm !
We also had our first snow this week. It feels early in the season for it. I like the snow, but I am not quite ready for it yet.
It's a week earlier than our usual first snow, but I guess winter is coming whether we want it to or not!
You are right...I don't think we get a say in the matter. :)
I think I would love to know the snow but maybe it would be very cold because I am so used to the heat of the island🌞
To stay warm you have to bundle up in many layers. Being cold is painful.
I love the winter, but my wife is not a big fan. Spent the last several days with family and enjoyed some outside time. Snowed like crazy and my grandchildren loved it. With a nice fire to keep us warm, we were able to spend much of the day outside.
wow, i love your photographs
this is amazing! what a beautiful snow. great focus. Absolutely beautiful work!
Is the winter already coming? What can I say, winter is beautiful seen from the house. When I was a kid I really enjoyed it. When I was a child, the winter took 4 months ... now it's only 2 months, climate change is more than obvious. I didn't know the winters are so long for you. I think it's pretty hard.
Winter is good, it makes us appreciate even more the spring.
It wouldn't be bad if the sun would shine, but we spend most of our winter with grey skies and can go weeks without seeing the sun. By the time spring arrives I am starving for green!
That's what I thought, winter makes us a bigger spring-summer wish.
howdy melinda010100! your something about me fact was that you hate winter? lol. very good. good photos too!
The reward of having to endure the bitterness of winter is to be able to take such magical photographs Melinda.
I hardly know what a 'real winter' is like. We have a few days of really cold nights where everyone talks about how cold it is and then it's just about all over. If we have a week of cloudy days every one suffers from the SAD syndrome ~ Can't imagine what it would be like to have overcast skies for 6 months.
I really love the rain. Love pulling on my gumboots and feeling invincible to the howling wind and pouring rain. Love being able to walk in puddles particularly. But this winter we hardly had a drop of rain.
Like @barbara-orenya I decided to love the winter ~ Even though since I was a kid I've had chilblains every winter ~ But guess what? I don't get chilblains anymore. I feel learning to love all the seasons ~ And our summers can be suffocatingly hot ~ Is so healing for mind, body, heart and spirit.
Looking forward to seeing more of your snowscapes and views from windows. ♥︎♥︎⚖️♥︎♥︎
Thanks for your encouraging words, Ally. I suspect that I may never learn to love winter, but I will work on appreciating it a bit more!
