     I am so jealous!  Too short notice to come for a visit, but please wish a couple feet of snow our way.  Beautiful!

    Everything is closed/stopped. Schools, banks, libraries, buses, city hall, offices, arenas, mail delivery, most stores, highways blocked off, etc. Not beautiful...not fun....just ick! (Glad I got groceries yesterday.)

    My third-grade teacher in Indiana read a little bit to us every day from a paperback book titled, The Trumpet of the Swan. My family had to move back to Texas before my teacher finished reading the book. When I was in my thirties, I checked the book out from the local library and read all of it. It's such a good book and I'm so pleased to have finally put my curiosity to rest. LOL
    Thanks for reminding me Lindi.

    The weather forecast says you are going to get colder over the weekend cb . it didn't say anything about snow. you usually get some before we do, not much sign of it yet this year though.

    If you have all this snow and a power outage on top of it, it's brutal. I've been in one of those storms also. Really not fun! :(

    I saw a gaggle of geese flying south this afternoon. Fingers crossed there is snow coming along with the colder weather.

    You all forgot to mention the aftermath of snow when it melts and turns to slush,. it is a bloody mess give me 35/40C anyytime.

    That depends BM. It can go away very slowly with several sunny days in a row. If it goes quickly, with a sudden warm spell and rainy days, you're right. The slush is awful.

    .... I only like snow on postcards.

    Dreaming of a white Christmas hey Ducky?


    I've never seen a white Christmas.I've seen snow but not at Christmas.


    Keep warm.

    Funny you should say that. People were beginning to say that we might be having a green Christmas because we've hardly had any snow at all. But now, I guess we pay! lol

    Bombardier to the rescue Ducky !!!

    Don't forget the wineskins....

    Well, big deal. Your front is hitting us on Saturday and we’re gonna die. Any amount of ice and the city shuts down! I may have to find my South pole coat! Gee, it comes in handy every three of so years. Thanks a lot, duck. I’m taking t his attack personally. Want the recipe for snow ice cream? Very big in Texas, and rare….

    LOL...I doubt snow ice cream is exclusive to Texas. My mom used to add food colouring to mine, it made my tongue blue. LOL

    Gidday Duck,You are welcome to your snow,in Aussie snow is not something we see a lot of,given the choice between heat and cold,gimme the heat,,,however i guess too much of a good thing is not a good thing,so i reckon by the time your snow is gone you will welcome a bit of heat..enjoy while you can Duck..>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<..

    We do not enjoy this kind of snow and will be thankful if it simply stops coming down. The city is paralyzed with everything being closed and cancelled. In some respects, in can be downright dangerous. Hopefully it will not continue snowing as long as first predicted.

    Snow is for skiers and little kids.

    Stayed home all day and only went out to brush off my car. It's buried again and supposed to snow all night. It will be interesting in the morning.

    Welcome to the club. It snowed here 10.6 inches last Sun into early Mon morn. It's supposed to snow another 4 in . this weekend.

    Moderator
    10.6 inches? We're expecting 2 and 1/2 times as much in less than 48 hours mcm. Ten inches we can easily handle.

    It looks lovely, no sign of any in this part of the world, it's a mild 8c at the moment.
