We had some sleet and hail the other day...we aren't ready for S*** yet either. DH still has 8 more cords of wood to cut. He cut 2 cords yesterday...we burn alot of wood during the winter. Sure saves on the heating fuel which is about $4 a gallon right now. I love having a white Christmas but the S*** can wait a few more weeks to show up. My DD always comes up at Thanksgiving to cut her Christmas tree. She told me the other day she wants 3' of snow then. I told her she was insane..if we get 3' of snow they will close the road and she won't be able to get up here *L* She is a blond..'nuff said. crafty_linda_b
