Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

Yes, the boys are not happy that all around us is snow. My BIL and his family are expecting up to 18 inches of glorious snow. 57 is cold, we have been in the upper 60s.

I want SNOW! I have a lot of rain and wind though. Yes I watched the front on and off all night, It went north and south of me, which is not uncommon.

I hate Ohio.

Soon, I get to go back to bed, yay.

It looks like you got all my snow!

It's December - we haven't had a real snow yet. Only a few random flurries. It's raining today. I like warm weather, but it just isn't right this time of year in New England!

My daffodils are growing!

I just hope they can make it in the spring after this false start.

Ottawa is under a freezing rain warning--but Heck! ALL we've seen for six WEEKS has been Rain. The fact that it is going to rain some More--and freeze up--just has us all shrugging, with a few curses thrown in. But--often enough, we're just happy we Haven't had the white stuff...............For me--That's it for this year's riding. I'm not so spry of limb I want to zoom around on slippery ground.

Come west! I'm a native Cincinnatian who got sick of the rain and overcast days so I moved to Denver. Right now I'm posting this from my condo in Summit county. I'm watching it snowing and blowing outside.

Bicycling is great here, too!

I'm with you uforgot. I sent the storm your way (sorry).

We're snowed in here in Oklahoma City. 5-7 inches of the white stuff. Not a lot of snow, but take into consideration that 1 inch sends the city into a panic. This much snow has sorta shut the city down. Today the sun is shining so more people are out and about. We've had 2 snow days from work (I teach), the turnpike was closed, and I can't leave the house (DH took our only snow worthy vehicle to work). If it weren't nearly zero degrees, I might consider running or riding my mtn bike- but I'm staying inside. I'm a cold winter weenie.
I don't know how you ladies up north do this all winter long. I'm sooooo sorry...and now I feel your pain!

Kathi,
I lived in Wyoming 6 years before moving here. I am so sick of the rain. I want snow.

Hi Bikingmomof3, where in WY did you live? I lived in Casper for 9 years. I loved riding in Casper. I could go out my back door and be in country in a mile. The only thing about Casper riding was the wind...headwind when you rode out, headwind when you rode back. It got very cold there in the winter, but I miss it....

I spent the first part of the week in Ohio. 70 degrees and beautiful. Come back to Dallas and its sleeting/snowing and freken 10 degrees! Something was wrong with that picture...

The boys were complaining about how unfair it was for there to be snow in Texas and not here. Still snowless in Ohio.

I'm not very good at waiting for snow. It doesn't help that all I see when i turn on the t.v. is how everyone ELSE is getting hit with several inches!

C'mon, it's Minnesota! Do I have to move to Canada to get some winter in December?!

At least it's cold enough now to make fake stuff. And next weekend our local xc trails will be open, whether we get precip. or not

Thank god for snow guns.

AND you are close to some GREAT skiing you lucky person you

It is snowing here and the temps aren't too bad but unfortunately the wind is supposed to pick up to +30 MPH (Are you surprised at that Kathi ????

THEN the temps are supposed to drop to -15 F.

No mountains to downhill ski, too cold and windy to cross country ski - oh why oh why do I live here ? ? ?
