WARNING: I intend to whine (just a bit) for a sec...
I'm a southern California girl currently living in upstate New York. I like a white Christmas as much as anyone, but we've had 150.9 inches of snow as of yesterday, and the white stuff is currently falling out of the sky, and we're supposed to have an additional 8-10 inches of the stuff by nightfall, and another storm coming in on Sunday! Yeah, I'm kinda sorta over it...
That pretty much 'splains why I made this particular card, yes? Thanks for looking (and dealing with my pity party - I feel better now...)

Oh, I enjoyed your pity party!!! Love your card I'm over the winter, too.....but we've not had much in the way of precipitation this winter.....of course, our snowiest month starts in a few days. I wish you sunshine and 75 degrees!

I certainly can empathize with you! We visited my in-laws in upper MI and the temp was -4! OMgoodness, I was miserable! I'm grateful to live where it is warm most of the time, even if I have to put up with melting hot summers! Sending warm wishes your way!
Your little postcard is so creative! I love the way the color of the palm tree panel makes it pop off the rest of the snowy white background!

I love your card. I can feel your pain. I'm a desert rat that lived in upstate NY for four years, but the winters were nothing like this one has been. Snow - no thanks! Ice storms - even worse. The worst part is how long it lasts! I know it snowed the last day of March every year! My sympathies are with you.

Very cute postcard
And I feel ya...I'm from WA, I've lived here more than half my life, and have NEVER seen the snow and freezing temperatures we're having this year...I mean really...it's 20* out according to my thermometer and snow on the ground and let me tell you, the sky doesn't look promising as far as a day without more snow/hail/sleet goes...I'm totally over this arctic blast too! Hang in there!

Wonderful and hopeful postcard! This has really been a winter for the record books! Even down here in N. GA we have had about a foot of snow so far this year. At present, we're enjoying an uncommon little warm spell, so it's really a nice break.
