Every spring we get to see the little ones learn to fly . Nothing any cuter than baby cardinals and blue jays . Maybe except baby deer , I can't leave them out ! Annie

It's winter in Pennsylvania
And the gentle breezes blow
Seventy miles an hour
At twenty-five below.
Oh how I love Pennsylvania
When the snow's up to your butt
You take a breath of winter
And your nose gets frozen shut.
Yes, the weather here is wonderful,
So, I guess I'll hang around
I could never leave Pennsylvania ,
Cuzz my ass is frozen to the ground.

You could substitute New Hampshire or Virginia or...

Oh yeah, I did not write this. It was sent to me by my FIL.

That is pretty funny!!!!!!

Lyn-lmao if I could but it is frozen to the ground also.

Read this somewhere today. Sign on the outside of a church in PA: Whoever is praying for snow, you can stop now!

We are to get another 2-4 overnite and an additional 4-8 tom.

Sure hope my new bobbin holder comes. I am going thru withdrawals not sewing.

Lyn: thanks for the poem; I'd laugh but it's NOT FUNNY!!!! It's true--my poor dog has a frozen something else cause he's low to the ground and he's not real happy. We got another 4 inches over night so we're up to 27 inches on the ground and now the wind is blasting. I'm off today so I guess I have to start shoveling; but where do I put more snow???
Pennsylvania-love it or leave it.

PS: I really did laugh at your poem-it's a good one!

Looks like we got 4 - 6 inches overnight, but now it's snowing again.

I'm loving it, but very glad I don't have to drive anywhere!

Come on down. We have another "cold front" coming thru. Don't get mad, but it is supposed to be in the high 40's tomorrow morning. Not cold for most of you, but freezing for down here. I think next year I will actually buy a heavy sweater.

LOL, or just quilt yourself a warm jacket.

I went out this morning when it was snowing heavily to clear off my car. The snow was a foot high, and I figured i wouldn't be able to get it off if it got much higher.

Can you guess?

It snowed all over my freshly cleared car, maybe an inch... then stopped. Oh, well.

I got off work this morning and drove home thru the most beautiful snow storm - no ice yet just snow and everywhere I looked it was beautiful. As a general rule we get one small snow a year but this year has been the exception. I refuse to complain about it since our summers are so hot.
