Well for over two weeks now, we've woken up to this horrible sight! Every single morning, this is what we've had to go through Please avert your fragile eyes if you have a weak stomach The base of that little ball is about a foot or so! We've now, in the past 12 hours been hit with 15" of this stuff and they have anounced another 15" of this junk! the kids are off school in the whole region and I got the day off work, but I really can't wait until spring now! Anyone else get some of this crap? The skiiers are happy, I, am not!

Tweet...I'd switch places with you any day. I'd be soooo happy to have snow. Now I know too much of anything isn't fun & I know lotsa people hate cold weather, but for me it's heaven.

Tweet, I was amazed over Thanksgiving to see a 8" of snow...next to a tumbleweed. I really should have shot that picture. Here, we're looking at a balmy 59 degrees tomorrow.

*sigh* We got about 18 inches Sat - Sunday morning. Another couple today and more for tomorrow. I'm tired of shoveling already! Tweet, we'll all be looking at that every morning (day, night) until next April, how sad is that!

I'm SO glad I moved away from the snow and bitter cold. Thanks for the reminder that the 60 degrees here really isn't that bad.

It's definitely cooling off here, too. It only made it to 80 in the shade today!
I love looking at pictures of snow! ;D

Yeah we got sum o' dat, it snowed here for about 12 hrs straight. It all melted before I could take a picture though. ...but that was down here near sea level in the capital region, up island above 200 meters it piled up a foot and a half deep and is only starting to melt today with the warm south-western coming in. Lots of freakin' idiots driving around in it here too, as usual. Always going too fast & loosing control, causing accidents and back-ups for everyone else because they were running late in the bad weather due to normal traffic slowing down on icy roads. You know the story, it's like half the people out there forget how to drive when it's not sunny and bare...

I feel for ya. So far its shaping up to be a bad winter. We already had 2 light snow storms and a small ice storm here in PA. Looks like I'm going to be taking a lot of vacation days to play in the snow with my daughter.

We have typical weather for this time of year. Frost on the roofs and 35 degrees in the morning, tomorrow it will be in the mid-70's.
I miss seeing snow. I don't miss shoveling it! My dad waited until we were all out of the house for good to buy a snowblower!

Brrrr! I'm so glad I dont live in snow country. I hate the cold. I'm still wearing shorts here.
I like looking at the snow though. And maybe playing in it for a little while but then I want it gone.

Ok Tweet, we feel real bad for you with all that cold and snow, but will you do us Floridans a favor? Shut the door!!! All that cold air has been coming down here!! 43 last night, had to cover the lizard and put his heater on. LOL J/K I wish it would snow here and last long enough to play in it for a few minutes. I've never been in snow . I hope it brightens up some for you. T
