Sorry ladies, I can't relate because I grew up in So. CA and now live in Central CA...no ice and snow here, except for 1 very cold storm in 1999 when we got 4" of snow. So, 1 day in 20 years.
I like looking at pictures of snow, and maybe spending the day sliding down a really small hill with the grandkids, but that's it!! My bones don't like cold. I'm glad I live where it's sunny 340 days out of 365. :-)
