I just brought in a pile of firewood in the hopes that I'll be able to sit by the fireplace with snow falling outside soon.
Kitsune, where in WI are you from? I'm from north central WI and I go back as often as I can (usually for skiing because MN has had some crappy winters lately.)

Come on Amber, you know you love us cheeseheads
We got some snow this afternoon (not it's just drizzling). Darn Japan,hahahahahaha. I was supposed to go golfing on Friday, guess I'll have to go biking instead.
My little guy keeps asking when it's going to snow so I hope he got to see it. It sure is purdy.

Oooo...snow!
You wouldn't think as a Canadian I'd have to hope for snow (like our image of the Great White North doesn't say it all?!
)...but every year my partner and I look to the skies and pray to the snow-gods to give us at least a dusting...even a centimeter or two. Even a heavy frost would be nice! Here on southern Vancouver Island and the surrounding Gulf Islands the climate is classified as Mediterranean and sub-Mediterranean. A good snowfall here is a few hours of snow on the ground, and if we've been good girls and boys all year, some snow may hang around for a day or two. Snow at Christmas? hahahaha...been about 10 years since THAT happened 
Did I mention I love snow...?

Tater -- snow flying -- we're looking forward to it too! I'm not so sure about this crazy idea of riding your bike on the snowy days though!
PyxiChick -- leaving MN to go skiing and going to Wisconsin.... We left MN a long time ago and THEN took up skiing here in Idaho: Season Passes arrived today! Here comes winter!

you want snow?
Buffalo NY getting pounded. Happy Friday the 13th!
Seriously they get so much lake effect that they have my utmost respect. Snow in Massachusetts is wimpy compared to that area.

My mother's family lives in Wisconsin. They go wayyyyy back. I spent many holidays there. The snow is just like in Eastern Idaho, abundant. I love the way y'all talk (being a native Idahoan, I picked up on the Southern drawl). Originally Posted by chickwhorips

I love the pronunciation... HAM-mock, HAV-ock, wisCONsin, (any others I'd missed?) and the Yoopers with their inherant Swedish lilt.
"He's the Super Polock"
"Super? How?"
"His name's Skibinski- He's got a Ski at both ends!"
...sorry if you found that offensive... I am not prejudiced, just crass.
Funny, I always pick up on native oregonians with midwestern parents/grandparents, too... not the accent but the speech pattern. A little slower, and sometimes they say '...yah?" to confirm something, or ask "Can I come with?" missing the last pronoun. Interesting stuff.

EEEEE! I'd forgotten about that song until you brought it up! I LOVED IT! That and Bananas At Large...
It's the second week of deer camp
I got a swollen head
I'm lying with the dustballs
Underneath the bed
An icy breeze is blowing
Into the tongue and groove
My pants are frozen to the floor
And I'm too sick to move
I didn't drink so many
Just durty cans of beer
It musta been that last shot
That put me under here
It's the second week of deer camp
And all the guys are here
We drink play cards and shoot the bull
But never shoot no deer
The only time we leave the camp
Is when we go for beer
The second week of deer camp
Is the greatest time of year
