Snow! Who'd a Thunk it?
 
Granted I live in the mountains, just under 3000 ft, but I dont usually get snow here until after the first of January..........but its here, and we have had temps in the 20's (Howzabout THAT Deanna, we did too!) when it was clear, and now snow.......my daughter lives 1000ft higher than I do, I cant get her on the phone, I hope she's ok......

Well at least its not like 2 feet. I've heard that snow can come down in that part of the country very quickly.

I know haha...that's what you get! :p And actually I don't get temps like that - the really low temps (teens and 20s) are in the mountains...though there have been some nights around here that it's dipped into the 20s.

Is your son all excited with the snow??

so far its just covering the ground, maybe an inch, it only started sticking an hour or so ago so the day is still young snow-speak.....the real fun will begin tomorrow when I have to go to work! thank GAWD I have a 4wheel drive. (this is why I own an SUV)

greatdarkwing 11-26-2006 05:46 PM

I have a confession to make....I have never seen snow:o

Just be careful - as they used to tell me in Rochester - 4 wheel drive will get you going - but it won't stop or not skid any more than other cars :o Don't know how used to driving in snow you are - but if a gal from New Mexico can do it - so can you :D

I was going to say "anyone can" but that is so apparently not true as witnessed during the first snow we had here.
