    Do the exclamation marks mean you are excited, or outraged? :D

    Frank I'm just amazed that the forecasters actaually got it right for a change. :rolleyes: I do prefer a little snow rather than rain as it brightens the place up a bit. However, I don't really fancy a whole fortnight of the deep, deep snow that has been predicted. Still we'll just have to wait and see what's in store for us - after all it is the beginning of winter. ;)

    My daughter is excited...she wants to make a snow man. I don't think there is enough snow for that yet.

    So... you like the snow? OK, you crazy Texan! you can have it! keep it down there! Ha Ha Just kidding...
    I know it's great to have the change, and that snow is a good insulation...
    We don't have any on the ground now, but I know it's coming...

    Oh my.... look at that... snow for Eileen and Netty. It's pretty, but I'm not quite ready for winter. I'm sort of having mild flashbacks of all that snow we all had last winter... Remember Eileen? You didn't see your pretty bench for weeks!!! Fingers crossed that we don't have a repeat!

    The most snow that we get here is only a couple of inches at most which might last for a day or two.

    My avatar is from Valentine's Day 2004 when we had over 4 inches on the ground, my nickname is Snowflake (hubby says I am the biggest snow 'flake' he knows) and I still have the collection of over 300 snowflake print fabrics, only about 5 of which are duplicates, from my quilt making days.
    Yeah, I love snow. But if I say that too loud I get ugly looks from people :rolleyes:

    The flowers of spring, summer and fall make us forget the fluffy white stuff that blankets winter. Then our memories are refreshed with the joy of a first fallen snow. Then more snow. Then more snow. After that only the sleeping flowers, children and crazed people who careen down mountain sides like the stuff. Snow angels anyone ?:)

    Oh, snow! I'd rather have some snow than this hard freeze on my poor plants. :( But not as much snow as last year please.

    Oh, we got snow last winter too. December we had 3 inches, then early this year we had 9 inches one time and another 4 inches a couple of weeks later. A total of 16 inches, most snow we have had in one winter in several years.
