Our snow is ice incrusted. I have from 2 to 6 inches in height of sheets of this stuff on the side of my driveway. I can also send a gerbil or two if you like :rofl; That way the pawing at the ice will create snow inside the box and eventually be a snowglobe. A little yellow maybe, but a snowglobe of something no less. :rofl; :rofl; :rofl; ;D :urcrazy;

You guys are great!!!

Snow and ice for me and gerbils for Harry and Thurgood - that is if they ever get up off of the catnip-laced beach towel they've been partying on since last night.

Actually, gerbils are like kidney patients..they barely pee! So the snow would be pretty white still!

Snowing here right now...and my Florida family arrives this afternoon so everything should look nice and clean and Christmasy.  Now, let's just hope the airport isn't turning away flights into Toronto.

Now it is freezing rain.  Oh Joy.  5 feet of snow and now freezing rain.  The snow will form this hard crust so you can walk on top of it.  But the roads will be really slick.  I think this is where they coined the term "Slick as Snot".

you can have mine, especially if you let me have a day of 75 degrees so the stuff left on my driveway will go away. my house faces north and we are on the south side of the street, not enough sun to melt anything.

your homes in the snow are beautiful
the only snow we get is if we flock our tree
you get to have snow without having to drive across Texas for days and days and go into Colorado or New Mexico

We had a lot of snow last night and it is still coming down this morning.  It's beautiful here right now and not too cold because of cloud cover.

I love a day like this, especially if I don't have anything that has to be done.  A walk in the newly fallen, still falling snow is delicious and I find it much warmer when it's actually snowing, if there's no wind.  This snow is light and fluffy, it's still coming down and I've enjoyed watching it.

They are beautiful photos Monrein. I now know why your garden looks so beautiful green and lush, you have WATER. Unlike us down here living on water restrictions.

It seems strange to me here sitting with my aircon going full steam and you siting there in the gorgeous snow. I wish I could swap with you for a week.      :cuddle;

Although I would find it hard driving in that!

I'm so sick of snow!  Our "little" storm that was only supposed to bring 4-6 inches of snow brought us over a foot!  Ugh!  On top of the last storm we now have about 2 feet!  My dogs love it though, they have a blast playing it and so does my son.

It was so hot here today... I am sure it would have melted all your snow over there.

 I had to drive into the hospital (for some routine tests) so I dragged the kids in for the ride also. The outside temp read 44 degrees Celsius!! arggg Some of that was coming off the road but geeze it was really hot.

It is freezing here ----   39 degrees F :clap;
but it is humid also and I think that makes it feel colder
when we were in Durgano we were in the snow with no jackets and it did not seem cold at all
wow  -- your landscape changes
if we had that much snow in Conroe - we'd call a national diseaster

No, not for Christmas. But, maybe snow flurries tonight. Get that, in Tampa FL!!! Not since 1977. 1/4" could shut us down for a week.

We got 6 inches of snow overnight!  Most snow we have had in several years.  But, like with Alene, it shuts everything down for days.  The govenor declaired a state of emergency. Malls, banks, clinics, dialysis centers---all closed.  My 5 and 7 year old grandskids had a great time.  They have never seen this much snow.  I had no where to go, big pot of beef vegetable soup simmering and was able to watch the inaguragion (with a sweet kitty curled up on my lap).  Good day for me!
