Welcome to the Winter is Coming Giveaway Hop, hosted by The Mommy Island & The Kids Did It!
Officially, winter won’t be here in the Northern hemisphere until the day after this hop closes. The official start of winter this year is December 21, the day of the winter solstice, the shortest day of the year. But depending on where you live, it might feel like winter is already here. It might even feel like winter has been here for quite some time by this point.
Winter usually deals Atlanta a glancing blow, which is fine by me. Today feels a bit like a Seattle winter in that it is gloomy, chilly, wet, rainy and has been for several days. But climate’s what you expect, weather is what you get, and wet and chilly in the mid-40s is a considerable improvement over snow showers in the low-30s as it is in Anchorage right now. Especially considering that that represents a warm-ish front so it can snow.
I don’t miss that at all.
What about you? What represents a perfect winter day – or even just a typical one? Answer below for your chance at Reading Reality’s regular blog hop prize, the winner’s choice of a $10 Amazon Gift Card or $10 in books.

A perfect winter day has some snow on the ground with more falling. I am at home reading with a fully stocked pantry and refrigerator and some delicious entree is cooking in the oven.
I live in a tropical area so no snow. I do enjoy a balmy day in the 70s with plenty of sunshine.

I love a snowy day. I either take a walk in it or I will bake and or knit.
Mild, dry, bright sunshine and moderate temps where I live now.
Where I grew up lengthy and harsh winters.
It’s usually pretty nice here in the deep southwest. I mean it’s still chilly for us at night and in the mornings but most people wouldn’t complain about highs in the mid-60s and sunshine.
A perfect winter day would be a fire in the fireplace and me not having to do anything but to cuddle on the couch with a warm blanket, a hot cup of tea and a good book.

My typical winter day is either sunshiny and hot or cold and rainy, it flips flops continuously!

The perfect winter day for me would be to snuggle up in a blanket next to the heating and watch the snow fall through the window. 🙂
We can go from the 60’s to snow in a single day but I love the cold weather so I won’t complain. And if we get some snow to go with the chill in the air… even better. 🙂

A perfect winter day for me would entail me not having to leave my home for any reason. I would love it to be on a day that I don’t have to work. Hot cocoa, Christmas movies, a nice cozy blankets, a quick pizza in the oven and some yummy cookies or candy to snack on!
A perfect winter day is when we have snow but not enough to worry about shoveling.
A perfect winter day is a day where we get all day snowfall but do not have to travel anywhere and have all the amenities/food we need and have a great day enjoying each others company.
Those days that snow falls in really big fluffy flakes

It can be 60 degrees in the morning and in the mid-80s by the afternoon. A cold front might sweep through this weekend bringing temps down to the 30-40s.
In general, it’s cold, 30 degrees or so, rarely any snow. If it does snow maybe an inch or two, gone in a couple if days.
I live in Texas and it doesn’t get too cold out here. We are supposed to have a cold front this week and I’m not looking forward to it. Cool but not overly cold is good for me.
