I grew up in east Tennessee, and we'd get snow every winter. Not too much -- just enough to enjoy it without getting sick of it. Maybe 7-10 really good "snow days", and then lots of flurries and icicles the rest of the time.
When I woke up Christmas morn, we ended up with 3-4 inches on the ground, the first time that's happened in the Houston area since 1895. I've never seen so many snowmen in my life (even in Tennessee). Every house we passed on the way to my family gathering at my brother's house had a snowman, and kids either building another one, or pelting each other with snowballs.
Thanks again, Ledgies for helping me have a White Christmas! Here are some more pics:
