We missed the snow as usual. It has been quite a few yrs since I have seen snow on Christmas Day.
We had to go to Indiana Sunday for a funeral and got back Tuesday afternoon. We missed all the snow that came through Southern Indiana Tuesday. The first snow we saw was on the ground south of Louisville and it ended very quickly.

My neighbor called and told me to stop shoveling. She said I could use her snow blower when the other neighbor is done using it. SWEET!

It hasn't stopped snowing here for 24 hours! The roads are all #&%!$, and this is Cleveland (we are used to it). We have over a foot and a half right now, and it's the heavy stuff.

I love snow!
I was so jealous reading this thread last night!

We had some flakes early in the day, really nice - each flake was firm (almost like hail) and star shaped with a hole in the middle and some were quite fancy. Everything was sprinkled with these little white stars, it was really cool.

The storm started later on, and the wind howled all night. I love that sound. I'm not sure what the final count was, but there's at least a foot at my house. I planned on just blasting out to get to work, but I looked out and the bankings were too high - a good three feet or more when I went out to shovel. I got all my shovelling done this am since we didn't have to be to work until noon (don't ask me why, I just work here). But good deal, now I can go skiing after work!

wahoo!

I just got back from some snowshoveling! I am sweating! There is a 4 foot pile in our driveway, I had never touched it til now. What an exhilerating work-out. I can't wait til the big orange truck comes around agin. I'm telling you guys, there is nothing like it, I can't wait!!!!

Actually, I'm all done with it, and can't decide what I am going to strap to my feet: snowboard, skiis, snowshoes or cross country skiis. Decisions, decisions. I think I'll eat a salad and grab the dog and one of my toys and head out.

I'm playing in the snow,
just playing in the snow,
what a wonderful feeling, I've a smile on my face,
I'm laughing at clouds,
so far up above,
I'm playing, just playing in the snow.

Mr. Crazy Mike

Maybe you should go to the Adirondacks Trip in February?

Snow is better than freezing rain.

It seems like everytime we get a good snowpack to play on, it rains a few days later and ruins the conditions. The snow gets like styrofoam for X Country skiing after it rains and freezes again.

Hey Crazy Mike...

Have you been East before?
Adirondacks?

I'm just wondering what your drive time would be like?
