First snow!

[anna_66]

I thought I was going to be the only person who didn't particurally like snow & cold! (at least there's 1 other one!)
I think it's beautiful & all, but I could do without it If it weren't so darn hot where my brother lives in Arizon, that's probably where we'd be! Neither of us (Mark & I) like the cold, but we do love the changing seasons, so...I guess we'll just deal with what little snow we do get!

Okay, I am completely jealous! I want snow NOW!!!!! But we still have leaves on the trees, so I suppose for the trees sake, I should be glad we don't have any quite yet ... the forecasters don;t see any in my immediate future, oh, Ann, can you send me some?

   It's snowing. Karen only had to wait less than a week.

We have snow here today, too! Shocking, in fact. I tried to get pictures of Malone & his first snow but he was too busy running around trying to avoid it.

What's snow?

I've only seen it snow once in my life and that was in the mountains when I was in high school. I've been TO the snow...but that's different.

I really wish I lived where it snowed, I can only imagine looking out the windows and seeing that beautiful white powder everywhere. How beautiful...

Enjoy it!! You have a ton of us jealous of you!!

You have snow, Paul??? Oh, I am so envious!! It is quite cool here, for SC, and is sunny, but 60 degrees. Beautiful fall weather in SC.

Have fun, Karen, and make a snowman for us!!!

We didn't have enough for a snowman, just a half-inch or so of very wet snow! It's gone now, but it was a wonderful morning! Yay!

How funny to see how everyone feels about snow - I guess I like it for about 2 weeks, from December 15th until January 1st, as a Christmas decoration, and then it can JUST GO AWAY - I hate shoveling / snowblowing it, scraping it off my car windows, kicking off the "slush monsters" from my wheel wells (you know, how you get that big dirty snow "klinker" hanging behind your car tires?), tracking it into the house and getting puddles of dirty salty melted snow on the floor - can you tell I don't care for it too much?

I guess I just turn into a grinch in general around wintertime - I have spent the last 23 years working in retail, most of them as the manager of either the Toy or Trim-A-Tree departments, so I have to work long overnight shifts when it starts to get snowy, and I HATE coming out at 7:00 AM after a 14 hour night and having to scrape white stuff off my car. We also have had some really bad snows where it does damage to the roofs and trees, so it's only pretty in moderation.

Actually, I have visited South Carolina, LOVED IT, and would like to move there! I need warm weather in my old age

Come on down!!!! Snow is a big deal down here, because we so rarely get it!!!!!

Yeehaw! Thanks for the degrees instead of celcius thing Randi! I can't believe it is soooo cold there already. We had a high of 60 degrees today.

Here comes my ignorance...I thought Sweden, Belgium, Finland were all snowy places...what is your average snowfall (in inches, please. )? We get next to no snow, ever, it seems. We are just outside a snowbelt. Even Columbus, which is 2 hours north of us, gets significantly more snow than Cincinnati. My mom teaches...snow days are like a vacation to her!

I love a good clean snow. But, the second anything happens...out comes the nasty salt.
