Seriously though. Hope all are well.
I just seen a picture on the news, someone opened their door and there was an imprint of nearly the full door in snow. That's ridiculous.
I would like some snow - not as much as US and Amman - but just enough to close the schools for a couple of days; so about 6 inches worth!!:D

I like snow, always have, it brings everything to a halt, giving the feel of piece and tranquility, obviously to much of anything in life is bad.

Definitely Gillian - but snow days are always a bonus!!!
I know what you mean. And this is why people here can't wait for it to snow. No.....not because they like snow or like being stuck at home till further notice, but because they are NOT to go to work/schools/universities etc.

We ended up with 36" total and 5 foot drifts. The clean up is underway but the roads are still a mess. And I doubt I'll get up my driveway for at least a couple of weeks. But everyone, torts included, are safe and sound.

Move to England, if more than 3 snow flakes drop then teachers call a snow day. :D

I feel we got off easy here at the beach. I guessing about 14 inches of snow, it's hard to tell because of the way it drifted due to the relentless high winds that blew from Friday until early Sunday morning. It was a very cold and dry snow that didn't stick to tree limbs and overhead wires, which had a lot to do with not loosing power. I tried to get some good pics of the snow, I'm not good a snow picspic 002.jpg That's Sylvia's house. it will be a couple days before he will be able to go home.

Well at first I was jealous, but if its that snow that you can't make snowballs out of cause its too powdery then I'm not jealous.
Looks nice though.

I agree with that, though I want Summer to fast-forward (as neither Spring nor Autumn exist here).
