I often read LotR during the fall or winter months, since we have many skanky days during that time of year. Though I can be moved to read Tolkien just about any time of year.

Ah, to be young again, and be able to look forward to lots of snow as a break from school.
We've had over 17" of snow since the first of December, lost most of it on Sunday when it got unseasonably warm and rained, then went into the deep freeze in the wee hours of Monday morning. It didn't get above about 9 yesterday, went subzero last night, climbed up into the teens today, and is snowing now. We're supposed to get 3" to 5" tonight (not enough to even slow down local school buses), and possibly another 6" to 12" Thursday into Friday. I enjoy watching it snow, and I like the way it looks after the streets are cleaned up, but I really hate having to dig out my car when we get walloped (we only have a single car garage, and my husband gets to keep his car there, 'cause he has to leave for work well before the crack of dawn). Happily, though, he's on vacation until the end of the year, so if we get smacked on Friday, he gets to dig out the car.
It's life in Wisconsin. I'm used to it.
