In St. Louis, Missouri it is terribly hot. The word, sweltering, is probably the most apt description with the high humidity. It is so hot that when you first step outside the heat and humidity totally suck the air out of you. By your second step you begin to sweat. Really, it's quite lovely and does WONDEROUS things to your hair (can you read the sarcasm?)
So let's step back in time, like six months, when St. Louis offers the exact opposite - bitter, ass biting cold. We don't get much snow here (which isn't even right for as freaking cold as it gets), so even with the faintest of dustings kids brave the cold and assault the nearest hill which also are not in abundance so really any high spot.
I love snow. It makes me happy. I just wish it didn't have to be so damn cold to get it around here.
See? Here's me bitching about the cold during a heat wave!

Too funny I will cooler seeing winter pictures! It's a mild morning here so far! Have a wonderful Sunday!
ReplyDeleteoh, I long to see a bit of snow... I went outside for a cigarette a few minutes ago and nearly had a heart attck because I thought it was raining - turns out it was a leaky water pipe. The 50degrees and 90% humidity continue!!
ReplyDeleteThat's a good way to cool down - to post winter shots! :)
ReplyDeleteI don't like snow. But I don't like too hot and humid neither!
Have a pleasant Sunday...

Ahhh... snow... cooler temps... a lovely escape. It's crazy hot and humid in Florida too.
ReplyDeleteI love snow only for a short while. But given a choice, would definitely vote for snow than sweltering heat!!!
ReplyDeleteOh..we're snow land here. Heaps of it. Melts by May, but we usually get another 'spring' storm. I'll take the heat anytime! But snow is fun, and can be very pretty. Fun captures. I hope it cooled down your day!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea to post this right now! My body dropped 10 degrees just reading it! Fun pics, too!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the storm!
That is precious little snow. In Michigan where I grew up, you wouldn't even think of bringing out the saucers for that - I guess it all depends on where you live, huh? Too funny.
ReplyDeleteI hope that helped you cool off a bit :)

aahh I feel so much cooler now..lol
ReplyDeletesnow? where?! we have been in a 3 week heat wave here in nyc ouch!
ReplyDeleteHow quickly one forgets winter when temperatures soar into the high 90's or more. Looks like this was great fun though I hate freezing weather.
ReplyDeleteI was seriously confused when I just glanced at the photos at first.
ReplyDeleteThat is the perfect relief from Midwest humidity! I felt cooler just looking at the sledding fun. It made my day.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing and stay cool.

Yeah, I complained last winter it was too cold...and guess what I'm doing now!? Yup! Too hot! Thanks for sharing - I feel much better!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean. Sweltering in Pennsylvania this week as well. Totally sweltering. LOVED remembering the snow : )
ReplyDeleteThat's exactly how it is here....one minute we are griping about the cold, the next about this unbearable heat! Thank goodness it will be a little cooler tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteAhh yes... snow! Never seen snow quite like that in texas, but it's a nice thought!
ReplyDeleteThis is just what I needed. An exciting snowy sled ride on a hot Sacramento day. Thanks for reminding me of the blessings in both the heat and the cold!
ReplyDeleteI swear I felt a cool chill just looking at the pictures.
ReplyDeleteDo you bitch about the heat in the winter?
Don't you wish you could just snap your fingers and bring it back just like that? You could hold your own Christmas in July! Looks like a lot of fun, but I agree - I don't like the cold. I would rather be hot, actually!
