What a temperature swing!

Man, what a temperature change! Just a couple of days ago we were outside in T-shirts. Today? Coats, gloves and hats. Kentucky sure has wild and wacky weather. From tornadoes to slick roads in less than 24 hours.

The weather blog says we may even get another inch or two tonight. Oh, my! I sure do love snow, I'm just not too sure if I like it in Kentucky. Everything just kind of shuts down when it snows and that surely doesn't help our little home-based business one bit. It's a toss up about whether to get out and sell ads or not. Some business owners just shut down when it snows and that makes it hard. It's not really worth the gas - or the danger - of getting out.

Thankfully we have a great family of advertisers and we always manage to get the magazine out, no matter what. And sometimes we just have to take it at what it is and put out a smaller magazine. The winter months are really tough on small businesses, businesses that depend on even a few sales each day to keep going.

This month we've had more days of not a single sale than we have had with good sales days. And a snowstorm on the very last day we can get ads in is not ideal. But, hey, we'll just keep on going with the flow and do what we can! We've never been one to give up, and I don't suppose we will just yet either.

Through the bad months, we always have to think ahead to the good months. And thankfully Spring is just around the corner. A bit of a re-birth that we are granted each and every year. New things popping out of the ground. New leaves on the trees. Oh gosh, I'm so anxious.

It's funny because living in the West - and being snow skiers - you just hate the thought of spring. Spring signals the end of skiing season. Spring skiing can be fun, but by noon the slopes get pretty sloppy. The upside? You get a head start on your tan. Yep, you can get a suntan skiing. I was never brave enough to ski in shorts, but have seen many people do it.

Gosh, how did I get onto skiing? I guess it's the drastic temperature change, going to my head!

Have a great evening everyone. And be safe overnight and in the morning during the commute.

Blessings, Pam
