Winter rears it ugly head

I hate winter with a passion the cold the snow is just not for me ! This year it has hit us early and hard ! With tree's falling down power outages and about a foot of snow ! Some times I think I would rather be some were warm where I could ride my bike's all the time. but to live in the hills of TN and see the beauty of  this country. I would not wish to give it up even for the warmer climate . So I grin and bear it every winter like it or not !  I just hope this weekend is not a look at things to come !
