It's Snowing

[DeeGeMe]

Well, I don't know if this will make you feel any better but South Carolina gets miserable summers. Months of highs in the 90's with wretched humidity and king-sized mosquitoes and gnats and fire ants (which I'm allergic too). And then there's hurricane season. Yeah, that's a lot of fun--esp. this last year when I swear there was one every other week. And then the summertime heat can produce horrible thunderstorms which in turn can spawn tornadoes. My house has now been hit by lightning four times. I've lost count of the fried telephones, phones, and other electronic equipment that have been "killed". Hell, last year it fried the circuits to my garage door opener. And snow is not unknown in these parts either--although for us, it's a once every couple of years occurance, and even then, it's only going to be a couple of inches, if that. Ice storms are a little more common and much hated since they usually mean massive power outages. Anyway, I guess there are trade-offs wherever you live at.

I realize that most people in those areas don't know how to drive in it though.... If I'm not rushed, I like driving in it, love to sledding, love to build snowmen, and I still run down my driveway and SLIDE to the mailbox... BRING ON THE SNOW!

Dude, (girl) you should see it around here when it rains
And, I have a newspaper article from when i was 8, when the town got an inch of snow, the bus got stuck, and my mom went to the police station. I was news cause it snowed one day

This past Valentines Day, we got TWO inches of snow here in Fort Worth. I woke up that morning pretty early and when I looked outside... . It's just EXTREMELY rare for it to snow in North Texas, let alone two freakin' inches! LOL

I know that people up north hate it or aren't that excited when it happens, but if you don't get snow often, it's really an awesome thing. When it snows here, about 15 minutes of the news is just talking about snow.

I love when it snows, it's just a very spiritual thing to me. It's so quiet, breathtaking, really.

I realize some of us who are used to it take it for granted. The first couple of snows are pretty cool, after that, it's more of a burden. After driving in it for 3 months it sucks. I can see where it's facinating to get it where it usually dosent' snow though.

I love snow. Kentucky usually just gets ice. I long for Illinois in the winter.
