I love snow, up to about 5 or 6 inches of it lol...but have to say that here we can get tooooo much every once in a while lol. We are not equipped to handle it..as it is not often we get winters like last year. Our area comes to a standstill, not enough plows, people thinking they can drive passenger cars through a foot or more of snow.. I just sit in my nice warm house and watch the craziness from my windows LOL

Yes, be very careful...do they have those spikes that you can slip on over your shoes there? I had a pair and they work great to keep your footing in packed snow and ice.

I was born and raised in Massachusetts, and any given year we only had a 30 % chance of snow on or near Christmas. Now I live in Oklahoma. I will probably never see another white Christmas. :cry:

I do have pictures I have taken and other pictures that I can look at online, but it is just not the same as being there.

We have 4 seasons here in St. Louis. I don't mind snow as much now because I am retired and don't HAVE to be anywhere. I can wait for it to melt or be packed down by others. I don't miss the slush of parking lots! Or the lack of parking spaces because the snow has been pushed up on the end of the aisle and people forget how to keep lines in lots and just park all over! I grew up in Wisconsin, and I have had my fill of shovelling winter. I don't have anyone to do it for me, so I enjoy limited snow falls! I like to see a fresh snow fall, all fluffy and clean! I don't miss yellow snow or ice!

It it now December and I am still wearing just hoodies ouside when I walk home from lunch during school!! At night we get a light dusting but by noon it is all gone, and its a muddy, slushy, type mess. Yuck! I want some snow now! Please?? For a Christmas present?? :-D

Must have been some of the same snow we got around the 21st or 22nd of October this year, stuck around for a bit then melted the next day.
New York is not too far from Montreal, well, depending on WHERE in New York.
