Hey now, you are NOT allowed to say the 'S' word yet! It's still 72 degrees here, and I'd like it to stay that way for a while ;) I know that the cold weather is on it's way, I just want to stay in denial a little longer :p

That's cool! The first snow is always fun, even if it does get old after the whole winter...

I agree you should take some pictures! And let Mickey & Molly romp in the snow. :D

Atleast your first snowfall is in October, we had our first (of many more I'm sure) in September. Lol...unlike me though, you sound quite happy about snow!

I'm pretty sure our storms came from your way, Orangutango (sorry, I don't know your name).

Our LAST snowstorm last year was May.

Sorry guys! No pictures. I don't have a camera. Unless someone wants to sell me an old one. ;)

It's supposed to snow here. the weather guy keeps on says that it's supposed to snow. :rolleyes: it did on the mountains, but not where I live in the city. I don't mind winter, since my dogs love it..
but fall is my favorite season and I would hate to not have fall here. :(

I know !! I was watching the news this morning, people in my home town were celebration the hottest day in over a month, ( people were swimming in the great lacs !!! :eek: ) while, less than a province away, you guys had a major snowstorm. Looked like the wet, mushy snow, eh?

Yep, very slushy and slippery out! I'm sure it'll freeze overnight and there will be plenty of accidents tomorrow morning. :(

Think on the bright side: Maybe there will be a snow-day !!

( Don't call me childish, I LOVE snow days ! :D )

Actually, we don't get snow days. ;)

In all of my 13 (including kindergarten) years of school, we've only had one snow day. And that was because it was a school in the country and no buses were traveling that day.

Lucky! It's still in the 90's here! We are getting a cold front though and it's taking the temperatures into the 70's!

We had our first snowfall in over a hundred years back in '03 (I think). I was glad to finally see snow! Given it was only like half an inch, but it was still awsome! The girls loved it, but Prince wasn't so enthusiastic. Can you guys send some snow this way? I'll trade you weather!

You've got to be joking!! Wow!

When I was in elementary school, we lived in Virginia and they would close the school if there was like, 1/2" on the ground, no kidding. Haha, but they are wimpy down there... :D In Iowa we only got cancelled for blizzards or ice storms, but they only closed k-12, the university NEVER closed for anything- except the tornado that hit last April, and that was the first time they closed in about 30 years.

I think we don't get them because we live with snow a fair part of the year. I guess you guys get snow days because you can't handle the weather and the driving conditions. ;)

Haha, yeah you are probably right. It's not so great, anyway, because you just have to make the days up when the weather is nice!

we dont get snowdays either(not that I am that far lol) schools still run if there is 2 feet of snow on the ground and a 50 below blizzard(no joke, I remeber walking to school in that lol) the closest to a snow day we get is in elementry school when the temps drop below -40*C then there is indoor recess lol

Earlier today we got REALLY COLD RAIN. Not snow, just terribly cool rain. Now it's snowing. Jen and I will be going out to it soon, so this won't be a long message ;)

It's been snowing for about 15 mins and already it is easily visible on the ground. :eek: Comming down in huge flakes. Now that it has started, it will never stop.

Great, this means I will have to hurry on that coat I want to make Jen. The weather turns quite quickly here. I think I'll just make her a snood. ;)
