My Winter Weather Moods

Blog City - Day 1487

Maybe it's just the lack of sunlight, the weather itself but I've been in a dark place emotionally. What about you? Does the weather impact your moods?


January is my birthday month.... that usually impacts my mood in a not so happy way. Don't get me wrong, I love seeing my friends and family, I just don't want to be the center of attention. Once the birthday thing is off the plate, so to speak, I can get on with enjoying their company.
As for the weather... it is a Canadian winter. Cold and brutal one day, raining and 'where's the snow' the next... the freezing rain is a real joy.... NOT. I would prefer the snow and a bit milder temperatures or at least no bloody wind chill that drags the temperatures down to -30 degrees Celsius! And where is the sun! Even a sunny, blistery cold day beats a freezing rain bog any day, hands down.

Don't get me wrong. I LOVE Canada and being Canadian. I also know I am a wimp, because I live in southern Ontario and not the Prairies or Maritimes. But still, winter is a crap shoot!

When I came downstairs to begin this blog it was freezing rain and +2 degress Celsius, within half an hour I went up to find it white out snowing and -2 degrees Celsius. So now we have freezing rain covered by a layer of snow.... and I have to go out and get a few things.... I have a feeling my birthday dinner out is going to be postponed.

I did have to chuckle at one girl walking home bundled up in her snowsuit carrying her umbrella and swinging it around happily. somebody's parents paid attention to the weather forecast.

I do find my mood moves with the weather patterns. I feel happier when it is sunnier and gloomy when it is overcast or raining. I also appreciate the longer days over the shorter, winter ones.
