The girls + cousins spent the whole day out in it. We didn't get a lot (maybe 6 inches plus drifting from the wind) but the squalls were timed with drive time so it closed things down without being a big shovel event. I ran the cousins back home in the Suzuki. It passed the test.

What's this "snow" stuff you're all talking about?
Is it any good? Where can I try some?
;)

I'm glad we came to pre-conference yesterday. Got a nice bit of snow which I can watch safely from the hotel. The first real snow of the season, people forget how to drive.

Zen, I'll mail you some from Ohio.

First real snow of the winter in DC today.

We are getting it too!! Here in Philly burbs! This is awesome!!

Crazy snow here again...my dad left a few hours ago to get me some non-bald tires...and isn't back yet

Some pics from the snow day. All but gone now.

First time we've had snow in December in two years, I think.

A very large system is moving in today...but we can only expect a couple inches at our altitude...Just enough snow to have dangerous driving conditions but not enough to get snowed in.....My house slippers want me back this morning, they miss me....I wish....So far it's just raining a very cold rain. How annoying....last year at this time people were snowed in here everywhere. So far, just cold rains...I want to dig myself out and away from work, go sledding, make hot chocolate, and a snow-man.

I don't mind snow... which was received last week. It's pretty, it melts easily. You don't have to chip it off your car. I hate the ice and ice accumulation. We're under an ice storm warning here in Central Illinois that is to go until midnight Tuesday. :mad: Ice sucks.

melidasaur...

I can remember some ice storms in Illinois from when I was a kid...That is rough...It got so bad one year that it was almost impossible to walk outside...

I remember having to be thrown a screwdriver to chip knee holes in the ice to get up a hill back to our house in our neighborhood...Now that is icy, and I often forget how central Illinois can freeze over.

So far, we've been spared. It's been raining for about a day and the temp is hovering around 33. It's a sloppy mess, but if the temp ever drops, it will be really bad.

School is out!

We could get 10" today.

Oh baby I've been looking for 10 inches.

Sorry, couldn't resist.

We have namby pamby weather right now...just rainy and crappy. I love summer rain but this just sucks.

I wish we'd get a big blizzard so they'd close the college (which they hardly ever do.)
