It's snowing here!!! :o(
 

And I'm not the least bit happy about it. I looked out my office window this morning and could barely see across the street. Thankfully, no accumulation yet. I haven't even put my snow brush in my car yet. YIKES! I still have leaves to rake out of my back yard. DOUBLE YIKES!

:foottap

Re: It's snowing here!!! :o(
 

YUCK! I wouldn't be happy either - I HATE SNOW!!! LOL!

Re: It's snowing here!!! :o(
 

What do you know of snow in southern Texas?

Re: It's snowing here!!! :o(
 

I've seen it snow three times!!! :foottap :ursofunny

Re: It's snowing here!!! :o(
 

Then how can you HATE it!!!! :foottap

Re: It's snowing here!!! :o(
 

Look at the bright side: now you can put off the raking until Spring! :lol

Re: It's snowing here!!! :o(
 

I'm SOOOOOOOO jealous. I LOVE the snow. Can I have some?

Re: It's snowing here!!! :o(
 

Because it's cold and wet! I don't like cold and wet!

It really snowed here in, I think, 2005. We were in Austin where it didn't snow a lick! I wanted to go home and see it. My husband wouldn't bring me home because it normally melts by the time the sun goes down. This time it didn't. :sad

My daughter drove to our house to take pictures so I could see what it looked like! 12 inches is a lot of snow and it stayed on the ground for a couple of days!

When we made it home, I helped my son build a snowman. I put the carrot in it's face, dusted my hands off and said, "That's it. That's all the snow for me today." I promptly went inside the house. :toofunny

I hate snow! Okay, I don't like it very much. I guess I don't actually hate it.

Re: It's snowing here!!! :o(
 

Come get all you want. You might want to wait, though. No accumulation yet. Give us a couple weeks to get the ground cold enough for it to stick. Then your trip will be worth it.

Re: It's snowing here!!! :o(
 

I guess it's not really the snow that I hate either. It's the COLD that always seems to come along with it... and the older I get the more I hate it.

Re: It's snowing here!!! :o(
 

I've never liked it - even when I was young. When I was in sales and because I loved "cold calling" - no pun intended - I especially hated when winter would arrive. Getting in and out of the heated car - getting cold again - walking into a heated office. Static cling is not fun. Especially when you are wearing a dress!!! LOL!

Re: It's snowing here!!! :o(
 

where is here?

Re: It's snowing here!!! :o(
 

LOL!! I don't like snow much, either. I don't like shoveling it. I don't like driving in it. I don't like it when it melts and everything becomes muddy. I don't like it when it causes tree branches to fall and the power goes out. But, the scenery is unbelievably beautiful when it comes down wet and heavy and sticks to all the branches. I suppose I tolerate the snow now, but I loved it when I was a kid. Digging snow forts, going sledding/skiing, no school because of snow, snow ball fights, etc.

Re: It's snowing here!!! :o(
 

I forgot about the static cling!! and whenever I go to my locker first thing in the morning at work, I get zapped! :sad

Re: It's snowing here!!! :o(
 

There is some beauty in it, I agree.

I find beauty in cactus, mesquite trees, the sun bearing down, creatures scurrying in the brush and the leather of the saddle on your horse squeaking. The horrible part is the deadly heat and sunburn!

I suppose we can find beauty and horror in every environment in which we live.

Re: It's snowing here!!! :o(
 

Right and walking into an office and pulling your dress out from between your legs! :toofunny

Re: It's snowing here!!! :o(
 

:blush

Re: It's snowing here!!! :o(
 

Well, really the visual is not that bad if you've ever had this happen. LOL!

Re: It's snowing here!!! :o(
 

There's nothing like the experience of life completely grinding to a halt because of a foot of snow on the ground. Things that were SO important suddenly don't matter.

And the sound!!!! Oh, the sound. The quiet. It's always an amazing God-moment for me. I miss it.

Re: It's snowing here!!! :o(
 

There is a stillness after a snowstorm in the night or early morning hours. I never really thought about it before until you mentioned it.

Re: It's snowing here!!! :o(
 

Snow is a natural sound absorber and I'll forever treasure those moments of childhood when everything went quiet and life stopped. I always felt really close to God....it was like I could hear Him better. Nothing got in the way.

Re: It's snowing here!!! :o(
 

Akron, OH. Specifically, Firestone Park at the Bridgestone Americas complex.
I can appreciate this. We're not there yet, though. That will come in January... when we usually get most of our snow. Right now, it's just wet and cold. Still just as noisy.

But thanks for the reminder. Those snowy evenings when everything is quiet because nobody in their right mind is out in it... very nice.

Re: It's snowing here!!! :o(
 

The quietness is amazing. That is when I love to walk outside in it... looking up into the sky and watching it softly fall... yep, pretty cool.


However... it isn't so nice when things start moving and everything starts to turn to brown mush on the road and I am expected to be at work and I am stuck in the drive way. :D

Re: It's snowing here!!! :o(
 

oh, and almost forgot... it was snow flurrying here for a while this afternoon.

Re: It's snowing here!!! :o(
 

We've had snow multiple times already this year. I don't mind it as long as I don't have to drive in it.

Re: It's snowing here!!! :o(
 

Okay ForeverBlessed, glad I moved south!!! It was beautiful here today...around 65 and sunny!!!!

And Pragmatist, remind me to NEVER move where you are!!!! Yuck!
