Snow is so pretty, when it's falling...and such a pain to clean up afterwards. We haven't had much yet, and what has fallen has later melted. I hate snow...but I'll post a pic when we get a storm and we will!!!

I have a friend in Massachusetts and he usually sends me photos but he hates the snow. He ones send me a photo where the snow was so high that it reached the second floor windows of their house. (I battled a bit to describe that - my English is not to delishes today.

)

I can just imagine how much work it must be too clean that up!

The movies always makes the snow look like sooo much fun. Thanks for the photos, your dog almost disappeared in the snow.

Living in Texas, I sometimes miss the snow around the holidays...for about 30 minutes.

I grew up in Montana where snow is measured in feet vs. inches. The temps would commonly be -20F and as cold as -60F with the wind chill (there wasn't anything to block the Arctic winds except a few caribou). Snow arrived in mid-November but sometimes as early as Halloween and would last into April; I remember a huge blizzard on May 15th one year.

Given all of that, I've put my time in dealing with snow. But it would be fun to just spend a day or two in knee deep snow dragging a tobogan up the hill with hot chocolate or apple cider waiting at home and a thick, hot beef stew simmering on the stove.

I agree...it looks great on TV. Have you noticed that although the actors often stand in falling snow, they never get wet, cold, or have ruined makeup. A day or two would be fun...your thought of the toboganning, hot chocolate and a hot meal brings back nice memories for me. Maybe we need to be children again!

i remember one winter when i was a child and me and my brother went out playing in the snow, we were freezing cold and wet and when we got home my mum had layed out our pajamas by the fire to warm and had mugs of hot chocolate and marshmallows ready. x

Mel the 2nd picture looks like you made a snowdog and just left his head sticking out lol soooo cute !
We never get snow in this part of nz which is cool but also a bummer
gotta drive about 7hrs to be anywhere near snow and that's in the middle of year for us
Xmas it sunshine and sunscreen , beach and BBQ

Least we don't have to deal with those dreaded holiday sweaters lol

Ahhh, I love snow (except for the shoveling)!!! Since I'm in New York, we get plenty each year. We didn't get snow yet but we will soon. last year, we had it snow 4 days straight. It was a nightmare! We had no school for 4 days because the snow was too deep. It was waist deep for me. I don't mind snow, just not too much. I'll be sure to post pics when it snows.

And that is the exact reason why I stupidly convinced myself that our winters are WAY colder than yours. It snows and the people are OUTSIDE? I never go outside during our winters - I rush from the one heater to the next and still go blue of the cold. Our winters average between 41 at night and 64 during the day. This winter gone by we had one night that dropped to 23 and I almost died.

The winters by Kruger Park are completely different, it is the same as Gauteng summer averaging between 61 at night and day time 78.

I cant wait to see some photos.

We had snow this morning - it is a VERY poor smattering!!!!!

Can't say I am sorry, the snow affects our business WAY too much for me to like it!

I spent numerous winters as a child having to literally dig out of the house due to the high winds putting it against the front door.....not for me! lol

 

[mellykyitus]

just a hard frost this morning, its freezng. the guinea pigs water bottles had frozen solid! they said on the weather last night that were expecting blizzards in the south next week!!!! x
