Please keep it on your side of the state line. Thoughts from Wisconsin.

So you see some snow would just help to lower the temp a bit for the next few hours till the cool change arrives.

Same here in NW Victoria. We had 43C (109F) yesterday so some temporary snow would be nice! :?

Please do not send it to West Virginia. We have had enough. I have taught all of my grandchildren that s-n-o-w is a four letter word and they have to spell it in front of me instead of saying the word aloud. As they've grown older they all get a kick out of Granny and s-n-o-w.

Here in Montana we just received an additional 10 inches of the white fluffy stuff, that was on top of the 8 inches already on the ground. Course most places it is in long rows after the wind tried to ware it out. We are also blessed with below 0 temps, already -10 at 7pm. Happy New Year everyone.

I would love to send some of our Montana snow if you would share some of your heat we could sure use some of that right now. Happy New Year Mrs. B

Happy New Year to you too Grandma to 8. Your snow must have arrived. We have just had a cool change!!! Clouds in the sky, cool wind from the south. Heaven!!!
We are awaiting the arrival of our first grand child. Due to be born any day now.

We could use some here. We've been getting a lot of water, but so much that it is running off. We need the snowpack here on the mountain

klarina 12-31-2010 07:47 PM

California here. No snow around these latitudes.
Send some, please.

Blue Bell 12-31-2010 08:31 PM

We got 12 inches last Sunday and it is still hanging around. Don't want or need any more.

bleev 12-31-2010 08:40 PM

We had snow yesterday and a little today too here in El Paso.

Terricat 01-01-2011 12:13 AM

bluteddi, are you in the vicinity of the "Summit Triangle" in SD? I am west of that area. In the last two days we have 11" as of a couple hours ago, winds of 30-40 mph until Saturday mid-afternoon. Yes, I am catching up on small wall-hanging projects, and hopefully a lap quilt of "card trick" using purple Crown Royal bags.

no thanks .

We have more snow in Fargo than anyone would care to have.Would you belive the malls where all closed yesterday (friday) . They hope to open at noon today. They already tell us that we will have major flooding this spring, isn't that just great. We live where we are safe but it just breaks your heart watching so many people struggle.

Mumzbear 01-01-2011 12:50 PM

We have about 3 feet in our yard in Utah! Will gladly share!

kwiltkrazy 01-01-2011 04:00 PM

Why has it been reported lots of snow up there ??? Yes from the valley below, would like more up there too, too much down in this bowl/valley, not a good thing for many.

Where is the Summit triangle? My husband traveled North and South Dakota, for over 30 years and he never heard this phrase before..

Terricat 01-02-2011 08:27 PM

Hi Nana, On I-29 approx 50 miles south of the ND/SD state line. There is a 'Coffee Cup' truck stop and just east of it is a small town named Summit. The weather is always different there. Blizzards are always worse, fog or ice or visibility is always worse, seriously. Once you get 5 miles any direction from there, the weather returns to normal. Thus many SD people have called that area the Summit Triangle. :-D Two years ago I spent over 4 hrs driving from Sioux Falls to Summit and ended up spending the night in a cafe booth with a lovely young lady I met; we didn't get dug out until 3:00 the following afternoon when all the truckers wanted to get moving. Visibility was still scary, but five miles west it cleared off (still lots of snow though) and I got home a couple hours later. BTW I've been to your Mill End Textiles---love it!

nana15 01-03-2011 07:27 AM

I love Mills End but am staying away right now, I have 18, 66qt. plastic tubs full of fabric, plus one heaped with UFO'S. right now I am using christmas fabric scraps to make pot holder, etc.

It's so beautiful & then quickly gets dirty in NYC. And the trash piles up. Yuck. My daughter said the snow in Vermont was pristine & sparkling.

gnewk 01-03-2011 07:36 AM

Woke up this morning to just a dusting. It will be gone by noon. I like it up on our Mountains better anyway and they have a ton!!!☺

amma 01-04-2011 03:14 PM

No snow here... had a LOT a month ago, and hoping that is it for the winter :D:D:D
