Oh my! We just have cold! There is snow, but it is just dry snow, and cold. I don't like it, but it will change soon.

Just absolutely perfect, you have the necessities!
Quilt away! That's what I've done for 3 days now....I just love it! I'm placing my order for another snow storm in February, I need another 3 days snowed in with power...I'll be able to get something done!
Blessings,
MaryAnna

I'll be right down. I LOVE to skate. Got 5 days of skating in this year then the crap came and ruined it.

snow all winter????

We have the clothes for it and usually snow removal equipment available. I have lived in both cold and warm climates - I actually like the cold better - if you don't feel like going out you can always blame it on the weather!
amen to that!!!! I love winter that's why I live in Maine. Cant wait to get the snowshoes out again.

I live in Minnesota and we have had our share of the snow this year. We had a nice sunny cool day today but looks like we have some snow coming again!! We are use to the snow and blowing and we manage to get around in it. When we get the heavy snow I stay in and do my quilting and let others do the shoveling. I am looking forward to "SPRING"!

Speaking of ice skating--there was a video on the news last night of a guy who was ice skating up and down a part of Peachtree Street in downtown Atlanta. The ice is the problem here. My neighborhood is worse today than yesterday--a thick glaze of ice over the snow.

Well, we think it's here to stay this winter. So far we've had 11" and the last four just won't go away....too cold. I live on a hill and haven't been off it since Friday. So come on back to Knoxville!!!!!! Glenda

They began to melt two days later and were gone in 4.

I am well-stocked with fabric and food---that's all I need, as long as the power doesn't go out!
AMEN!!!!!!!! I used to live in Mahwah. Moved to maine 45 yrs ago and still love it.
