believe me when I say - I SURVIVED THE BLIZZARD OF '78
snow "tunnels" on the roads - when they finally got some roads open - DH was stuck in the factory, then my sister's for four days - I was home with three kids - (this was in Ft. Wayne area)
so far we have about 4 inches and it is really tapered off - just a few lazy flakes coming down now and it's starting to melt - it's 38 degrees! it is sposed to freeze tonite....
the elec has been off once already...

I am not like you all at all. I say bring on the snow. I would like to see a** deep snow atleast once out my front door. We have gotten about 6 to 7 inches twice over the last 2 and a half weeks. Loved every minute of it even when I was stuck inside with the 3 kids. My DH wont let the weather keep him from going to work. I say let it snow, let it snow, let it snow. LOL

LOL, I would just enjoy it if it doesn't happen often. You can use all those quilts you've made to keep warm.
I have to say, when I was a little kid living in Alabama, I remember getting snow there. I remember my dad building a snowman with me. I figured you got snow, just not much of it?
