Jeepers! It’s January Giveaway Hop

Posted on by Marlene Harris

Welcome to the 4th Annual Jeepers! It’s January Giveaway Hop, hosted by The Kids Did It and The Mommy Island

It may be January, but unlike last year, it’s in the balmy 60s here in Atlanta, at least until Wednesday, when it will dip into the less balmy but still not too bad 40s. Compared to last year, this is just fine. Peachy even, to make a bad Atlanta pun. (Everything here is either peaches or peachtrees – including, it seems like, ALL the street names.)

But this is just the kind of winter weather we moved here for. We do get four seasons, but winter generally deals just a glancing blow – and that’s the way I like it.

Just for funsies, I decided to look up today’s temperature in all the places I’ve lived. (I’m doing this on Monday, so the actual weather may differ slightly from predicted)

Cincinnati – 57°
Chicago – 42°
Anchorage – 11°
Tallahassee – 71°
Gainesville FL – 69°
Seattle – 42° (and RAINING all week)

The saying goes that “climate is what you expect, weather is what you get”. I like what we get here just fine.

What about you? Do you like the winter weather where you are, or do you dream of someplace warmer – or snowier? Answer in the rafflecopter for your chance at either a $10 Amazon Gift Card or a book (up to $10 in value) from the Book Depository.

  2. I love it when it’s cold! It’s the damp that gets me down but living in Ireland that’s pretty unavoidable 🙁

  5. I am hating winter weather. I would rather be back in Florida where I don’t have the snow or ice.

  8. Well, it kind of has been schizophrenic with temperatures and the like, so the answer to the question of is it cold there depends on the day… I’m not someone who likes really cold because I can never get warm, but I’ll take cold over very hot.

  9. We live in Northern California and we are getting a lot of rain which we need! We are very lucky with good weather but lately is has been cold!

  11. The weather here in Illinois has been pretty fair lately, but that is suppose to change here in a couple of days. Winter will be back in full force.

  12. I hate cold weather, so luckily I live in the Dallas area where it’s rarely cold for long.

  16. I’m mostly ok with cold weather and love snow–I just dislike driving in it, and absolutely loathe shoveling the stuff. When I finally retire, I’ll probably move someplace warmer so I can ditch the shovels/scrapers/other paraphernalia.

  17. My favorite season is Fall, but I can handle the winter as long as I don’t have to shovel much LOLL.

  141. I don’t like winter weather at all, I wanted it to snow for Christmas or New Years and of course now it decides to snow. I like looking at the snow not going out and digging my car out.
