Build a Snowman Thursday #347!

[Karen]

Of Catherdana, I don't think I could "do" Christmas in Florida! Some years we don't have snow for the actual day - but there's always the possibility!

Yes, I have to admit it's still strange even after 15 years here. The cold and possibility of snow on Christmas made it so much more. . .Christmasy! But now that I've been here a while, I have a really hard time with cold weather. Last time I experienced February in NYC, I cried walking down 14th street because I couldn't stand the icy gusts of wind!

One cool thing is how some people decorate the palm trees in front of their houses with lights. They look very beautiful. If I can find a good example I'll take a pic and post it.

Oh! and the DOTD as a slushy. . .sounds too good to pass up! Easy way to get bombed, though!!!

If you are going to get bombed, go nuclear!

DONE!

Hey, there's no crying in the weather report!

Randi,

Salt and ice?

You just need some margarita mix and tequila!

One snow plow?

DONE!

PM,

David,

Aren't we a bunch?

Between sore throats and other stuff?

One slushie?

DONE!

Karen,

Hot sand, warm breezes, cool drinks, people dressed as Santa Claus (shorts, black socks and sandals?)

Try a Corona(TM) commercial! They have a decorated palm tree and the caption, "Feliz Navidad".

I'll have a DOTD, please. Colder than you-know-what today! It was so mild in November; now it's payback time.

One Snowplow? DONE!

Yes, it has been a tough one so far?

UGH!!! This thread is a bad omen, me thinks!

Latest forecast: a coastal storm with snow moving in Friday night and ending Saturday night. MD, DE and NJ are expected to get "significant" amounts of snow, tho no one is saying how much is significant at this point. After the mild weather we've had, this cold is brutal! I hope it's no indication of what the rest of the winter will be like, but unfortunately we're overdue for a bad winter.

Any way you look at it, I think we're going to need a real snowplow before the weekend is over.

I need something to warm my innards. You make it - I'll drink it.

I know, Ellie, and under normal circumstances I wouldn't care - we're snow people, BUT!! we're supposed to have our Christmas party on Saturday - there are between 40 and maybe 75 people expected at our house on Saturday night with 10-12 inches of snow predicted to fall BEFORE that! It's not making me happy!
We may have a lot of leftovers! David, bring the Orc and the slushie machine loaded up with snowplows!!

Oh no!!! That's not good news at all for you. Maybe it will track further off the coast and we won't get too much. Then again - you just might end up with a house full of overnight guests.

Naw, You just have to stay on top of the weather channel!
A DOTD?

DONE!

Weather is nice but windy in S. Calif.
Me thinks we might have a Christmas with no rain.

Seems like everybody is sick.
My family and I were sick 2 weeks ago.
When I was on Jury Duty last week, everybody was coughing and sore throat.

No slushie for me. To cold.
Ummm Since this is cyber food, how about Pizza with double toppings.
