Gentlemen Close your Ears!
Hush. Sshh, I will tell you what I hate about winter coldness the most. You ladies will understand this one. The toilet seat. It Chills me. I am getting very tired of my freezing porcelain toilet seat. I sit down and squawk at its icy coldness. There you are now. You know the worst.
Yesterday had spots of sun. It was as though the lighting guys were up in the grid randomly hanging and testing lights for one play, aiming light this way and that, while the actors on the stage were rehearsing for another play altogether. The sun came out once in the middle of a snow shower! 
Then the snow moved on. And as the clouds returned to the scene from Stage Left, the sun silently exited on Stage Right. Off to the Green Room for a cup of tea with Snow.
Then they rehearsed it all over again. But that was good, we got the precipitation And the sunshine. Perfect really. Of course then I had to go in and very carefully clean the lens on a whining Camera House. That snow was wet!
Good morning. I hope you all have rays and rays of loveliness today. I think you will.

You need to get one of them heated throne seats . . . especially nice when you’ve run out of fire wood and can’t heat the house.
C, I’m all about using what we’ve got. Believe me, I am. And I am a huge advocate of LESS plastic on the planet, not more.
But when it comes to something we use that much, I think I’d wander on down to the nearest Home Depot, liberate $8 from my wallet and buy a cheap plastic toilet seat. They last forever, and are far warmer than porcelain!
Brrr, that’s way too cold. Katherine says come on down, bring some lemon curd and homemade wine.
Mornin’, c! My daughter was telling me about how, “in the olden days”, people didn’t have toilets inside their houses. Which, of course, reminded me of the acreage we lived in – when I was 14!!! – that didn’t have any indoor plumbing. The well water had to be boiled and heated on the wood stove for cooking and bathing. And the outhouse toilet seat had frost on it in the winter time and spiders all around in the summer time. (*shudders*). “In the olden days”, she says, and I felt like a raisin in a bag of grapes. That was only twenty years ago!
I knew a woman who had, with her husband, been a trapper in northern Minnesota back in the day. She had the cold outhouse problem and ended up lining the toilet seats with unmarketable mink skins! She stated they made a huge difference in her comfort. Perhaps the more easily attainable solution would to be to knit or sew a wool toilet seat covering that could be removed to wash. I would add in a removable layer of padding if I was making theses for someone who had very thin or unhealthy skin.
The whole toilet seat business brought it homw just how cold it is there, Celi! Lovely snowy photos though…
Yup…makes me shiver just to think about it. And looking at your pics, too.
Like guys don’t know what you’re talking about C. 🙂
