I get that same feeling here in Oregon. Granted, it is colder here than Georgia but I grew up in Maine and lived in North Dakota for five years before moving here for grad school. I have a coat that is far too warm for normal wear here so I use it when I am out surveying buildings in the rain in the winter. And everything is still green. The trees have mostly shed, but the bamboo and holly that are everywhere here never do and the grass stays green. I won't be going back to Maine for Christmas this year and I'm not sure how this green Christmas thing is going to be...

You may see a little snow, and it will likely be highly entertaining to your Canadian self to observe the Athenians freaking out. Truth is, winter driving is worse in the South because folks aren't prepared for it, which I learned when I moved from Athens to Minnesota.

On the upside, if you want to call it that, Athens homes are so very poorly insulated, that you're guaranteed to feel cold eventually. The other thing I learned when I moved to Minnesota is what a decent heating system feels like. Hope it cools off there soon! I'm headed home to ATL next week.

I live near a river, and the geese constantly fly over my house, esp. in the spring and this time of year. I've learned to love them. Yeah, I'd miss them too if I didn't have them, but it took a while to get used to it.

i am watching the first snow i've seen this season flurry down with enthusiam at this very moment. this morning the baby started howling on the walk home from picking her sister up at school because her hands were freezing and she kept pulling off her mitts, unable to make the connection.
it's winter here in toronto alright.

I can't even imagine a winter without snow. Did you bring any of your snow globes?

Here in Northeast US we are having wacked weather. Yesterday it was 19C and today it is 4C. And I am with you, I am relishing the cold. I love it when it first starts getting cold, it's such a pleasant break. Get back to me in February though. ;)

And when spring comes early in February, I'm disappointed and I want the cold to last longer. It's finally cooler here in Austin too and all I can think about is opening day on the mountain in Whistler.

i'm dying for lots and lots of snow, though i'm sure i'll complain if it happens. also, i have only one hat, a bad one. love pingu, though.

Come to New York, baby! I was feeling just like you, wanting to wear my sweaters and this morning it was 32 degrees when I got up (that's 0 for you, I think). Yipee!!!!

I will be wearing my Mariah and soon my son will be wearing Durrow. I was going to knit another Mariah for myself but maybe I will make a Durrow, i love the sleeves so... I am looking forward to more of your designs.
