our first snowfall of the year started today. urggh.

is it spring yet...

I hear you Lurker. Snow is OK between Dec. 24 and Jan. 1, could do without it the rest of the year. My kids were excited today though.

snowed here yesterday in Ohio. ugggghhhhh

Dont remind me.

But my sister was in town from Arizona and hadnt seen snow for a few years so she was jazzed.

This is how deep the snow was.



Why did I do this again?

to remind us west coasties that we shouldn't complain about a little rain or wear parkas when it's 60° out.

Haha, that's awesome.

16" of snow and still more coming.

maybe a good weekend to reorganize toys and clean.

brutal...

My kids are happy bout it,,,my back, shoulders and hips despise it.

I know it's different if your from a climate that doesn't get any snow. If I moved somewhere without it I would totally miss it. We get snow from early November - April... it's a few months to long, and last year was a killer.. this year though I'm really enjoying the winter. Again.. I guess it's different 'cuz I've got my snow boots and we are expecting it. Looks pretty though doesn't it?

Stop whining, look what you did to this dude sending him here. Do you think he appreciate !?Hm?

nothing beats fresh snow and how it makes everything so quiet (even tames the big bad city)..

that is one thing i dislike about london,,the lack of real snow (funny though how the entire place goes into turmoil when there is a couple inches)

i really miss cross-country skiing,,,used to do alot of it in vermont & the adirondacks..

i watched a tv show on the history of cross-country this week & am really tempted to take a weekend trip over to norway or finland for a cross-country getaway..

I grew up in Oxon Hill MD and I had lots of fond memories making getto ass snow sleds outta cardboard shipping boxes and other junk. I guess it gets less and less fun when you're "Dad" and have to be the only one to clear out driveways, walkways, and cars of icey snow and our property ain't exactly little. At least I have my 13 year old to help me out a lil this season. LOL, now he's not as excited when it snows not like before.

Ya.. it does make everything so quite.
I went down to the river at the end of my street the other day, I was just walking around thinking about how quite and great it was and then out of the blue I was in the middle of a dog sled race! Fun!


When I was walking around I was trying to think of my favorite memories as a kid. I think 80% of them are winter ones.

Winter is the funniest season

OMG !!! If I tell you that here in France with 3" everything turns into chaos I am sure you will have a good laugh

informer!

14" and still dropping, supposed to get 4 more monday.

I love driving through it

I live in one of the supposed "snow capitals" here in Buffalo. Yet I tell you it's a complete myth. I've lived here for 4 winters now and have not seen anything (except that crazy one october 10th storm in 07) significant in the way of snowfall. Lake effect snow? Ha! All that is, is flurries, and days of snow, but not real accumulation. People who know me and don't live here all joke about "How is it in snowy Buffalo?" Truth is the only real snowfall is south of us in Jamestown/Dunkirk and east in Rochester. I swear we've had two 8 inch snowstorms this year and that's it. Shit I got that as a kid growing up in south Jersey. LOL.

i enjoy the snow but drinking all day sucks,here in va we lost power for a couple of hours

We had about 14 inches overnight and today bright and sunny. The back of my house is floor to ceiling windows with a 12ft peak, so last night I had a glass of bourbon and watched the snowfall, lit by my neighbors big ass mercury lamp.

Wow! It sounds like you guys are getting the snow dump I'm missing! ha ha. 12' drift? Awesome. I would be jumping off my house into it!
I hope no ones basements flood once it melts.
