Who can escape the depths of winter when you are stuck on the Prairies with no where to go? 

Christmas is over and the New Year has begun with credit card bills surfacing after the spending frenzy of last month.

For the most part, December weather was wonderful but reality has caught up and settled in. The good news is that the days are getting longer and who knows...maybe spring will come early this year?

Lie low and contemplate the season…the poignant reality of how beautiful winter can be against the juxtaposition of the brutality and harshness that weather conditions can bring. Here are a few quotes to ponder over: 

Snowflakes are kisses from heaven.

Winter is the poetry of the soul’s hibernation.

In winter's embrace, nature whispers tranquility.

Chilled air, warm hearts – that’s winter’s magic.

Snowflakes are nature's confetti for a silent celebration.

Winter: where wonder and white unite.

The world changes when it snows.

Winter's beauty is silent but proof. 

Snow brings a special kind of peace.

Cold hands, warm memories.

Winter winds carry whispers of enchantment.

Frozen moments, everlasting memories.

Winter: when nature adorns itself in diamonds.

Snow-kissed dreams under starry night skies.

Winter's embrace: a silent symphony of serenity.

My favourite winter sport is trying to find my lost gloves.

Winter is nature's way of making you cuddle.

I love winter, but only when it's in pictures.

Winter is like a toddler throwing a tantrum – cold and relentless.

Snowmen are just flakes with a sense of humour.

Winter is coming. And so am I... to the thermostat.

Winter: the season where my coffee needs coffee.

I'm on a seafood diet. I see food, and I eat it...mostly during winter.

My favourite winter exercise is shivering.

Snowflakes are just Mother Nature’s way of telling us to chill.

Winter is the time of year when my electricity bill starts competing with my car payment.
