Dear Friends,


I have been watching you very closely

to see if you have been good this year

and since you have I will be telling my elves

to make some goodies for me to

leave under your tree at Christmas

I was going to bring you all

gifts from the 12 days of Christmas,

but we had a little problem.

The 12 fiddlers fiddling have

all come down with VD from fiddling with

the 10 ladies dancing,

the 11 lords leaping have knocked up

the 8 maids a-milking, and the

9 pipers-piping have been arrested

for doing weird things to the

7 swans a-swimming

The 6 geese a-laying,

4 calling birds,

3 French hens,

2 turtle doves

and the partridge in a pear tree

have me up to my sled runners in bird #&%!$.

On top of all this!

Mrs. Claus is going through menopause,

8 of my reindeer are in heat,

the elves have joined the gay liberation

and some people who can't read a calendar

have scheduled Christmas for the 5th of January.

Maybe next year I will be able to get my #&%!$ together and bring you the
things you want.

This year I suggest you get your asses down to Walmart

before everything is gone.

Love,
Santa

Whoo Hoo!
They’re calling for 8” – 12” of snow in the valleys around the ADK high peaks. That means even more at hire elevations. I hear my snowshoes calling me!

We got 2 inches last night, but it isn't likely to last long with warmer temps on the way later in the week.

Anyone who lives in the North and has convinced themselves that they enjoy Winter does so as a survival tactic.

Let me rephrase:

Anyone born in the North and/or has lived there for more than 25yrs.

How long you been up there? Do you lose the Sun for a month or so?

The transcendental beauty of winter is vivacious and a fraternization with the season is a must. Please, I want more snow.




For those who doubt, I can use big words :D

I start thinking about snow as soon as the nights start to get a little cooler. I'll be back on the slopes before too long. I ordered my season pass for 2005-2006 in May this year.

You can keep the snow & the cold. An hour after I plow my driveway I have 3 foot drifts across it. Above 20 degree's is OK but -20 is cold. Maybe if I just got to play in it once in a while, I'd like it better. You get a little tired of it living & working in it constantly. I do like it better then blistering heat though.

I hear ya catsk! but I disagree on the blistering heat thing...I would take that anyday over 20 degrees!

Looks like we may get the first snow of the year below 3500' in East Tennessee tomorrow night.


Problem is, it will probably be a wet mush that just makes the pavement slick.

Either the weatherman #&%!$ed up or something has to change.

It is over fifty here right now.


Now I am not an expert, but I just can't see it snowing anytime soon.

C'mon Chili, you know how fast that mercury can drop. Faster than Nigal's pants!

Not that I've ever seen that of course.

It started snowing here about 5 pm and it's due to snow until tomorrow morning for a total of about 3-5 inches. You'd think the world was coming to a bloody end the way the news and radio are hyping it.

Dipchits, it's snow. Deal with it.

“Ooooh, I hope I get my first snow day since graduating from high school!"

First thing I'm gonna do is sleep in. THen, maybe I'll go play outside. :)

Right now I'm writing up my lesson plans because I'm supposed to be observed tomorrow. My lunch is packed, and my clothes are already laid out.

I'm hoping that being prepared to go in tomorrow means I won't have to. SNOW, SNOW, SNOW!! Let the busses not be able to go pick up the kids!!!!

GRRRR!
Left Columbus, OH @ 4, got to Kings Island and I-71, 275, and I-471 were parking lots all the way through Cincy and NKY. When I got to Montgomery RD exit after 2 hours of dealing with non driving idiots I bailed and hit the back roads home to NKY. Finally got home @ 8:30. Normal trip time is 1.5 hours.

You would have thought we had just had the blizzard of the century!

BUMMER! So far my district hasn't cancelled school. Birch's district has the day off, lucky dogs! I'll wait 10 more minutes to see if it pops on the screen, they're adding new school closings by the second.

Keeping my fingers crossed....

6-12" predicted here. It's been snowing heavily since about 6 AM. We've gotten around 4" already. I'd say we're in for nearly a foot, as the heavy stuff isn't supposed to come down until around 11 AM. WOOOOHOOO!
