We have had two days of steady snow, cold and gray skies. I am not gruntled.
I know it's really pretty and lots of people like snow but the transition from fall to winter seems to bring more aches and pains every year. OK, so a little tiny piece of blue peeked out before the sun set today. And I do love my wood fire. I'm trying to change my disgruntled attitude!
There might be unfrozen waters elsewhere on the planet but it ain't here. Take a look at Watery Wednesday to see some fluid forms of water, and maybe a few more snow shots too.

Gruntled. That's funny.

Pretty to look at from some place warm. Wood stove is nice. I'm not gruntled either.
It is pretty to look at, but I like snow less with each year that passes. I understand about not being gruntled!
I agree, my wife is sick because she isn't use to the transition.
We have rainy and snowy days
I definitely would be gruntled to see the snow. But--I can certainly understand people not liking it so much IF they get tons and tons of it every year. I just don't see much--not enough for me.
Beautiful pictures.
Hugs,

being a tropical fish, i don't think i'll survive the cold and snow. can't help but love your snow shots.
I love that P. G. Wodehouse quote! In my family we had a condition where your 'gruntle' could be 'dissed'.
Seeing the magic in cold and snow definitely requires more of an effort as the years go by. Yesterday I slipped and fell on some frosty leaves - rather gracefully, I thought, in the circumstances. But it made me feel OLD!
I'll enjoy your snow. You can keep it. Don't send any this way.
One of my favourite quotes. :) I love telling people I'm gruntled or decidely not gruntled - even if they might think I'm slightly, er, different for doing so.
I also find snow leaves me lacking gruntlement, so you have my sympathies.
Stay warm!
You had me on your quotes -- from St Augustine and PG Wodehouse --what a combination -- and then your pictures really reeled me in. Brr. But what a fun post. Hooray for WW for leading me to your blog.
Loran, it's the first time I heard this word: gruntled. Lovely. Keep warm - you're positive under the circumstances. Hugs from sunny South Africa! Joxxx
We too have the "whites "here! Stay ungruntled!
I am with you, I do not like the snow hanging around either. It is pretty to look at first but then it can go away. And I love wood fires. Pretty photos.
I love looking at other peoples' snow shots. Not so big a fan of the white stuff when it's piling up outside my own windows though :)
Well, I'm gruntled. I like snow.
Looks like it's time to wax up the cross country skis!
