Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!
« on: December 08, 2017, 09:06:20 am »
We got our first snow of the season this morning. They are calling for about 2" but by Sunday it will all be gone. We don't often get snow here(we're in the shadow of the mountains) so we love every flake we get. It sure is beautiful.

Even San Antanio TX. is getting snow this morning.
We don't drive in the snow except for emergencies which rarely occur. We just stay home, go for walks and enjoy the beauty.   (S)   (=)
 Steve, sounds like a good plan. Good luck.  :OK

We get bunches of the stuff and I still love it all. I'm a northern guy to the core :) We have yet to get anything more than a trace. I'm  ready for 4-6" of it so I can chase bunnies around.
Only when the last tree has died and the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught will we realize we cannot eat money.

Me to Pearl as long as the wind dies down some I just love winter and snow. Lots of things to do in it. I'm ready for the wind to calm down a bit though, it's been blowing all day and night for about a week now. I guess that's why they put all these windmills up here. 25 degrees no wind and sunny with a few inches of fresh snow is absolutely beautiful.

Up here in Toronto we have had several dustings. Im hoping for a good one soon. Its been cold for sure and the wind doesnt help at 0500 when im up walking my dog. This will be my first winter this far north east.

Both Marcia and I could live in snow country. Growing up is Savannah we didn't have much snow. In 1993 we had a blizzard here with extreme temps(almost 0) and 18"+ of snow. We thoroughly enjoyed our walks in the woods, out dogs love it too and even out black cat was out in it. He would jump from foot print to foot print screaming as we went.  (S)

We normally about 14" by now - had about 5" in early October, still got green grass.  We are overdue.  I think we are going after bunnies this weekend any way, or out to the range.

Well, 4 hours later and still snowing. Looks like 4" to 5" on the porch rail...
