I share your feelings for snow Sandie. Although it's not currently snowing here (please please don't sent your snow my way sandie) we did have a big storm last monday and another good snow on wednesday night for a total of around 10 inches and that was on the low side of totals around here. I am sick of winter already. My brother is usually around by this time of year to clear the driveway and handle all snow removal issues but unfortunately he's still working and lucky me I am in charge! I survived digging out Tuesday without any problems (casualties) but Thursday morning was another story. Let's just say the driveway and ice are up a couple of points on me.:doh:

So stay warm Sandie and off the slippery driveway/sidewalks, etc.


oh---and pray for a really early spring, ok?

Sandie, from someone who has NEVER experienced real snow, it looks beautiful! The coldest we get where I live in Oz is about 2deg celcius.

Can you tell me what I'm doing wrong when I add an image to a post; it always ends up as a link, it doesn't open up on the page. Is that because the photos most people post are from websites?

Watch your step on all that snow and ice. I guess I'm kind of glad we don't get it here, I'd never go out in it for fear of ending up like a Christmas beetle, (on my back with my legs in the air) :D

[Sandie_Zitkus]

Hey,

Wayne will PM you and explain how to get your image to open up in the post. I'm not good at explanations. He's a Tech writer he's good at that stuff.:)

The snow here never stays long - unless it stays ungodly cold like it's been! Colorado has beautiful scenery but teh weather sucks.

I had thought about a few *snow bunny* photos - but hell it's too cold! brrrrrrrrrrr

:D

from down here in the sunshine state, where the high was 78 F today, that snow looks pretty good.....makes me sentimental for my childhood for some strange reason. :)

LOL -- that's very cute! Unfortunately I've been a Christmas beetle already, I'm hoping it's just once this year!:(

When I first arrived from Arkansas to Minnesota, thats when it has began to snow. Since then to now it has snowed constantly. I played in the snow with my wife's cousins today. hehehe

The snow is very powdery and really doesn't stick. But there is a whole lot of it everywhere and the Snow plows have been busy day by day salting the roads. Sooooo...10 days of snow and counting for me, my wife and everybody else here close to where we live...and for pretty much the whole state of Minnesota.

I am glad I live where it snows only rarely.

Howdy from Texas, Sandie. Keep the snow up there, willya? Thanks.

[Wayne_Zitkus]

Well, it finally stopped snowing - for now. We have 4 1/2 inches outside our house right now.

Earlier today, I went out to pick up a few things. When I got back, I found our younger dog Pearl outside covered with snow. I just HAD to take her picture.

It looks a little fuzzy because I took it through the screen door. (For those do-it-yourselfers out there, I designed and built the deck Pearl is standing on - it's two-level because the top level goes over our above-ground swimming pool.)

I can relate. I grew up in Switzerland (lots of snow), then lived in upstate New York for 17 years (more snow). Snow can be nice and romantic, but not when you have to go to work and the darn driveway is snowed in and just when you finished clearing it enough to get the car out, the snowplough comes by and walls you back in.

Here in Sacramento we never have snow. Not a single flake in 11 years. Yeah!

I love snow. I love the winter!

When I was a kid, my family lived in Texas where you might have snow once every three years. I could spend hours outside playing in it (as long as I remained warm and dry, that is.)

I now live in Utah where we received a couple more inches of the white stuff today. The State takes good care of the roads and there is hardly a moment that the roads get into a bad condition. I've had my share of slide offs, but it hasn't put me off.

Actually, Everyone here like the mountains to get their dusting of snow early, because our Fall doesn't last very long before everything gets brown and ugly.

Snow? Send it here! Southern New York needs snow! Especially during finals

Where we live, they have a WONDERFUL way to clear the roads. We've lived in the same neighborhood since 1998, and I've never seen a plow on our street. The only way our street gets cleared is when people driving down the street and pack down the snow, and eventually the sun melts it. If you're lucky.

At least they don't use rock salt on the roads - the cars last a lot longer here.

Please let it snow monday, I don't want to go to White Plains that day!

[Fuzzy]

Utah uses a mixture of grit and salt. And vehicles made since the mid90s haven't had as bad a problem with salt than earlier vehicles. I've got a '97 that shows no signs of rust. (Now if my transmission was as robust...)

Texas had no snow removal, so it just just as above. The snow went away when it melted away. I got my first major wreck ('73 truck vs. '83 Audi) on snowpacked roads.

I love the snow. Way up here in northern MN where we can get 12-14 feet annually... if you don't love it you'll be miserable, haha. I couldn't stand to live anywhere that didn't get a white Christmas.

Hehe... I USED to feel that way, especially as a child. But then I found that all that nice fluffy white snow turns into ugly slush and worse, destroys landscaping, rusts cars, causes accidents and is just generally a pain. Where I am now, should I ever feel the desire to see snow again, all I have to do is drive an hour up into the Sierras. Somehow, in ten years I never have had the slightest desire to do so.

I have to say I like the 4 season year we have in Wisconsin--you Minnesotans can probably relate: almost winter, winter, still winter, and road construction. It's an oldie, but pretty accurate.

Actually, I do enjoy a nice snowfall if it doesn't result in ice. I can drive in or on almost anything, but can't walk on it.

I have cousins who live in southern Indiana, and when they first moved there, we all got a laugh out of them calling off school due to an inch of snow.

This should be the first real white Christmas that we've had in years--the central part of the state. Up north they always get tons of the stuff--that's where my in-laws are.

Everything in moderation, huh?

I say that all the time! Rock on. :)

We have four seasons her in Colorado, too - baseball, football, basketball, and hunting.
