Hi Marie
This is what our snow looks like a the moment, Dec 11, 2008 way too early to have that much snow but oh well have to live with it I can just imagine that by the end of winter we'll be buried.

It's very beautiful but no way would I want to live in it. A few flakes every 10 years works for me.

I'm sure our time will come, but for the moment we have just enough to cover the grass

We got snow too! It was so exciting, although the ground was too warm for it to stick. On the north side of town, it looked about like Marie's picture. I saw cars on the way to work this morning with snow on their roofs and hoods. It's supposed to get up to 58 today and back into the 70's by the weekend, so I guess that winter has come and gone.

I wish I was there too Lisa, it feels like it's been snowing none stop since the beginning of Dec.. Oh wait it has lol. We get snow and if it stops it gets really cold. Already sick of it and it just started. It's crazy now their calling for 25mm of rain on Monday with a high of 7C what a mess this is going to be.

That would work for me too Earline. Having walked to school in the snow, many times a LOT of snow, during my childhood, I have long since lost most of my appreciation for the stuff. I forgot to mention that I walked uphill both ways.

Oh but it's a big to do here. Parishes (counties) just north of us closed schools.

I walked to school as well but no hills here.
I can remember the school closing twice in 12 years due to snow. As i remember not really a lot of it but it was a treat then

When I was in 5th grade, we got snow twice. The first time it started after we were already at school, and my teacher, who was older than God, was the only one in the whole school that wouldn't let us go outside and play. She opened the blinds so we could see it (and also see everyone else playing), and made it a special "reading" day, where we took turns reading a book out loud to the class. Luckily they dismissed school as soon as they could get the buses back (the bus drivers were also teachers so they had to get in touch with them and redirect their students) and we were home shortly after noon. The second time it snowed during the night and we got to stay home.
That's it - my memory of snow during my school years. Now if you want to know about rain, I can tell you about the time it rained 27 inches in a few hours and we swam home.... Oh...I rode the bus 5 miles each way - no hills, no snow. It was just 13 ft above sea level. It was dangerous though in elementary because we had to ride with the junior high kids who liked to sit in the back and smoke and the bus driver smoked like a chimney and didn't use deodorant! Ah, the good old days!

Our niece just moved to Houston from Casper, Wyoming. Yesterday she wrote on her myface page that she was laughing at her Houston neighbor taking a picture of the snow on his car!
It's all just a matter of what you're use to.
Last Christmas, our son saw a few snowflakes in Bagdad, and although he's no stranger to snow, he thought it was impressive!
Enjoy your snowflakes, Earline!

POOF it's all gone, About 45 and sunny and windy. Still cold for us.
It's global icing.
I am old enough to remember the news media trumpeting the dawn of a New Ice Age.
They'll get back to it when enough people conclude global warming is a scam.

We've had a couple of "mild" winters here in the mid-Atlantic. This year I noticed that the trees changed about two weeks earlier than usual. I think we're goin' to get it this year. I used to like snow, but not any more. Doesn't matter though, we'll get it sooner or later.
