It's beautiful to look at Boxman, but better you then me. I can't shovel snow like I use to and the cold makes my bones hurt. Are you singing White Christmas?  :cuddle;

The singing I am going to leave too Bing Crosby, the shovel has been pushed a little by me in my electric chair but I also put on my leg and then hang onto the snow blower and clear the drive. Not easy but doable. I just love it when it is snowing out. What I miss is not to be able to get in my Jeep and go for a drive. Going through the neighborhoods at nite when hardly anyone is out and the snow is coming down, is so neat and peaceful., I would do it all the time then, find an empty parking lot and do donuts...Boxman

No, no, no not where I live, thank goodness.  We are really cold {cold for Georgia} but no snow.
The weather is supposed to modify and by Xmas Eve we will have rain.  Rain for Christmas
too. :christmastree; :christmastree;.  I'm sorry for all the kids, rain on Xmas is the pits.
Merry Snoman to you.

Oh the splendor of it all!!!!!

Since we in the Los Angeles basin only get a tiny bit of snow about every 30 years I don't think
we will get any this year. I thought we had a change when the first big storm hit last week since
it was a cold storm, but it was not that cold. If we ever get any appreciable snow here it will be
a complete disaster since nobody here knows how to drive in the snow and/or ice, especially those
with 4 wheel drive who think the drive solves any problems.

That would suck.  I thought of you guys this morning. 
It is cold for us, 35 this am, and there was ice on my windshield.  Can't imagine having to de-ice your car every other day just to go to dialysis!  You guys are seriously amazing!!

HELL yes we have snow for Christmas and probably won't get rid of the white crap until EASTER!  I'm so pissed!  The apartment building has only had us plowed out ONCE since last week!  My car is buried.

One year we had a wicked snowstorm and Stephen's family could barely get here for Christmas Day.  Another year we had an ice storm and were out of power for 5 days.  Luckily that's the year I decided to cook seafood for Christmas dinner and my gas stove did the job!  This year they are calling for a 20% chance of rain and temperatures in the 50s.  Your house looks nice Boxman!

No snow here in So CA except for the higher mountain areas. Cold though, cold for here, anyway. I know Boxman is snorting at my mention of cold in CA!

Lead me not into temptation, I can find it myself.

I still own a home in Sacramento and if I could get out of my driveway I'd be heading there.  I'm sick of the snow already and we have more on the way.  Plus it is cold..... 8 degrees for tonight.
