    We've got around 8-10 inches here, which is fine with me because it's enough to go cross country skiing. What I HATE is when we just get a dusting (1-2 inches). It's not really enough to do any snow related activities and I can't ride outside either

    I only WISH it were going to snow here this weekend. They're predicting an ice storm Sun-Tuesday. C'mon sky- just snow. In snow you can still drive (until it melts and then re-freezes), but ice just sucks.

    Sorry you got so much snow- just send the cold front down a little lower so we can have snow instead of ice... pretty please.

    Never fear! It is going to be better this weekend - you will be out on the road before you know it. Upper 40's for Saturday and low 50's for Sunday. Cloudy though. Log a few miles for me - I'm going to be out of commission for about a month. (hand surgery)

    Velobambina, I'm with you. I'm not much of a fan of snow either. I like to visit it in the mountains occassionally to play; snowshoeing and I'd like to learn to Xcounty ski. But IMOSHO that is where it belongs. I don't mind too much when it's around for a day or two. The kids really seem to get a kick out of it. Anymore than that and it drives me nuts becuase it's so disruptive. Not many people here seem to know how to drive safely in it. Of course neither can I, so I stay home with a cup of hot chocolate and a book instead. Thank goodness it doesn't happen here too often.

    Right after grad school, Dh got a job offer in Alaska. Yeah, right! Me in the cold and snow. I remember giving him the hairy eyeball and going right back to what I was doing. I wasn't even going to dignify that with an answer. I'm sure he was just messing with me becuase he had that mischeivious twinkle in his eyes and an evil grin. Bad Dh!
