winter

While most are happy that spring is here, some negatives come with it and maybe we shouldn't be as happy as we are.

Here are some of the side effects that may be from the long winter as well as how to adjust to being back around people.

A new winter weather advisory, snowfall everywhere, and a major cold front are begging the question. Are we due for a second winter in Idaho?

The only place you can find any fluffy snow is if you head to the ski resorts, otherwise, that blanket of snow covering your yard is more likely a sheet of ice.

I’d wear them everywhere and also to work if I could.

Make sure to take your time each morning to scrape your windshield before getting behind the wheel.

The ice and slush and driving on the melting snow can pile up and back up in there and cause problems for your tires, car, and lead to other problems down the line.

Staying home from work is fun, but being snowed-in for too long can take its toll and be bad for you.

For people new to the area that may not have experienced an Idaho winter yet, some adjustments and culture shocks are guaranteed to happen.

There will be a Winter Party at the Twin Falls Public Library on Thursday, December 23 from 4 PM to 6 PM. The event is free and will also be a lights tour.

A fellow told me this week that some of our highest peaks are bare.

In Twin Falls, planners should be busy preparing to open the downtown rink in just a couple of weeks. Last year, Magic Valley residents were able to enjoy the city's rink near the splash pad, in Downtown Commons, the second week of December.
