In reply to Judy Tsafrir. We are blessed to have resources to manage the damage and to stay warm and well-fed in our homes. But, yes, what a challenge this winter has brought. The stronger sun angle and longer daylight are helping me, and I hope you as well. Thanks so much for commenting, Judy.

Janet,
I resonated with your description of how treacherous our world has become with ” potholes big enough to break a car axle, icy side walks and decreased visibility driving.” It all does feel really dangerous, which creates an ongoing backdrop of stress. I find myself longing for Spring more intensely than I ever recall previously. It will feel like heaven to walk easily on the earth again, to not worry about slipping and falling. It’s been wild. There is beautiful wooden arbor in my garden that arches over the front walk way, which in June is covered with roses. It has buckled and sagged under the weight of the snow, and now one must duck deeply to pass underneath it. I don’t think it will likely be salvagable. It’s a real spiriritual practice to find ways to love what is in the midst of these challenging conditions. I find myself feeling grateful that I do have heat, that I am able to pay for the repairs for all the damage caused by ice dams and that in this case, that all things pass away. Including this Winter with a capital W.

In reply to Patrice Titterington. Thanks for writing, Patrice, and for giving us the update on southern weather. It's been quite a winter for many of us! What an interesting question you pose when you wonder about the psychological effects of climate change will be.

In reply to Pam Kristan. Yes, the snow brain syndrome isn't much fun! Sorry to hear you're "suffering" as well, and hope all clears (and melts) soon. Thanks for commenting.

Great, Janet! This is exactly what I’ve been feeling as well.
This snow brain stuff is right on.

Well-written and interesting blog post as usual, Janet! I often wonder about what will be the psychological effects of climate change on the human race. By the way, we are also having wild temperature swings here in NC this winter and the ice and snow (what little there has been) has been quite stressful for southern drivers.
