Snow!

<p>Yeah! I was just telling my son yesterday, you have to call me when you go to college and get your first snow! He’s 16, and yes, he has never seen snow. I’m 47, and I am so excited! Neighbors think I’m nuts. Taking pictures of every house on the block so I can show those not at home what their house looked like with snow, in case it’s melted by the time they get home from work. Let me tell you, this is such a big deal here, no soaps or other programs on TV today, only videos of snow, snow, snow!</p>

<p>Montegut, that TV thing happens here in Orygone with just a dusting of snow and, though I love the snow, the news coverage drives me nuts: “Winter Blizzard” coverage lasts 24/7 and it really is usually little or no accumulation: the city just ceases to function!</p>

23

<p>Montegut, you’d think folks in Seattle should be pretty used to having the white stuff on the ground for at least a day a year, but noooo! When snow falls, same thing happens: all TV channels switch to “severe weather updates” and “storm coverages”.</p>

<p>We are expecting our first snow of the winter this weekend, and I’m not looking forward to my Monday commute.</p>

<p>This thread brings a smile to my face! Love the snow, it’s the cold that’s hard to take. Brrrr…
We can have a foot of snow and nothing closes around here. D’s are always disappointed that they never get a snow day!</p>

<p>The week started off with a forecast of snow for tomorrow…but it’s raining cats and dogs…and it looks like that is what we’re going to get. Bleh…I would prefer a good old fashioned snow storm.</p>

<p>Northern Minnesota checking in…currently -9 degrees and still dropping, clear and cold with a full moon. Major blizzard predicted for the weekend, snowfall possibly in the double digits. Cross country skiing, snowmobiling to follow! Ice fishing already in full swing.</p>

<p>We had some serious snow here in TN, but it’s stopped. A couple of inches on the ground and my car couldn’t get up the driveway. It was pretty dicey driving this evening. Hills and snow are not a good combination- especially in the south. It’s beautiful, though.</p>

<p>beltrami – wow, that is cold. Is your weather pretty similar to St. Paul? We’ve been debating whether to take a trip to visit Macalester.</p>

29

<p>Figure on St. Paul being about 15 degrees warmer on average than Bemidji. We’re 200 miles to the north. Snow amounts however can differ greatly, depending on the storm track. The Mac campus will look lovely after a fresh snowfall. :-)</p>

<p>MOWC … snow in N’ville?! D must be studying ridiculously hard for finals. She didn’t even call to tell me. I sent HER pictures when we had OUR first snow of the year!</p>

<p>Is this “snowstorm” the reason gas jumped twenty five cents from the time I drove to work this morning to the time I came home (and needed gas)? Yeesh.</p>
