2021 - How's the Weather Where You Are

A bit of snow, but this weekend is calling for bitter cold. Maybe some lake effect snow.
I decided to go grocery shopping today, so I can bundle up and stay inside.
Is it just me, or did we seem to tolerate cold better when we were kids?
It's not just you. Winters weren't that cold growing up in Vancouver, but it was cold in Alberta. Toronto winters can get pretty frigid (not too bad so far this winter). I recall walking to the subway in winter, wearing mini-length winter coats (high boots, though). It wasn't a big deal back then, in my 20's. Now, I feel the cold much more easily.
 
Got a foot of heavy wet snow starting at 6pm last night. Still coming down.
Supposed to snow all day today too.
My Dachshund was over his head when he jumped out the back door this morning.
I had to shovel the back step and little path for him for him to go out.
It was like shoveling wet sand.
 
It is supposed to get clear up to 60 here in north Alabama today, and once it does that, it is all downhill from there, and much colder for at least the next two weeks.
Even so, it seems to me like it is starting to think about Spring outside. My irises are starting to poke out of the ground a few inches, and that is always a good sign.
My body thermostat just doesn’t work any more, so I am always too cold in the winter and too hot in the summer, and just a little while in the spring and fall when it is not too much of one or the other.
