Yep, finally just changed over to snow here--going to go until the wee hours. We are still going to make a tree lighting in our little town since I think it would just be so pretty to go to that in the snow for once assuming it isn't cancelled of course.
more snow expected Sunday night--between Obama and the early snow, it's like the 70s all over again! :-)
I've been cold all morning here. It was 36 on the deck this morning. I can't imagine how you all manage with the snow and ice and cold temps. I lived in Colorado one winter and there is no way I could do that every year.
:rofl: :lol: :rotf:
You know, my contemporary, you were thinking the same thing :-) I remember being off of school nearly a week one year--before electronics that meant EVERYONE was outside trying to sled, slide, slip, and make merry. It was how stay at home mother's dealt with snow days :-)
You are preaching to the choir. I did not grow up beyond my formative years in the land of snow and ice and then we are talking the mid atlantic so the occasional noreaster. I lived in Florida for years after those early years. I despise much of winter except the ambiance it creates at Christmas if I don't have to go out in it:-D
We had two inches of snow my freshman year of college in Texas. They cancelled classes for two days! Those of us Mid-westerners thought it was hilarious. One of my fraternity brothers from Houston decided to go sledding with a tray from the cafeteria, flipped and broke his top front teeth. :-)
I would have probably loved it as a kid. But as an adult, not so much. As far as the ambience, yeah. We do have some mountains that are only a couple of hours away, so for the ambience I can just go visit it, or play in it when I'm in the mood. :-)
Man, to have a smart phone for that moment eh? :-D
Would have been a "Kodak" moment. :-)Taken with a Polaroid.
We're iced in here in North Central Texas. Not much snow, but too much sleet & freezing rain. :(
I'd rather deal with two feet of snow than an inch of ice.

Yeah, that was a sucky couple of weeks.
And almost exactly five years ago.

I was pouting about our -28F yesterday until I saw photos from TX. Ice and higher humidity? I'm not tough enough for that nonsense.
And TONS more people! I'd rather be where you are.
And you people deny glowball war....er....climate change....or whatever the weather is right now.
Yeah.
Life's a lot easier, a damned lot easier, dealing with treacherous weather when there's few people around.
<<<knows.
The fewer people there are, the fewer idiots one's likely to have to deal with.
Precisely. Considering the fact that our area has more idiots than not-most uninsured, I am not looking forward to the cross-town commute tomorrow.
Prayer up for safe travels.
Ya know... the reason I bought a 4x4 truck this year isn't because of the weather or bad roads. I can work around them. It's because I have to go to Denver several times a year and I want the protection of a truck. A truck with a serious grill guard. While there are many very nice people in the Denver/front range country, there are also many self-centered idiots who drive very carelessly.
