Snow! Do you miss is? Or do you have it everyday and are so sick of it?  

Lake Tahoe? I would sure love to live there then, for a short while anyway. I know that there are some parts in the States that get a lot of snow and it's really nice to look at. My problem is, I'm just focusing on the beauty and not the hard work of having to dig yourself out at times. Andrew

I'm going to have to bare these places in mind! Perhaps I'll visit when it's all snowy! Have you ever ventured down the path of building yourself a snow chappy? I love those scenes of American wilderness, trees, wolves absolutely great! Or, have I seen too many movies? Andrew

I don't think you have watched too many movies. I work for the forestry service, and the woodlands are wonderful, and they are beautiful when they are covered with snow. I have built me a snowman, and made a snow angel. Normally I'm out playing in the snow with my dog, she loves it too.

Oh, those rainy christmases, we get far too many of those!! Yes, I think that's about right, snow in the 70s and early 80s, I certainly have good memories of snow in those days! This global warming thing is a real pest, it's destroying all the good things in life, like snow! This Global warming thing is so bad in the North that the ice caps are breaking off in huge chunks and I wouldn't be suprised if a pola bear was on a raft of ice drifting our way!! As regards the snowball fight, I'll meet you somewhere in Alaska, perhaps we can do a bit of skiing too! Andrew

Ha ha! You can go on the piste on your own, I am not that adventurous! I'll watch from a safe distance, I am cowardly wolf and skiing doesn't enter my vocabularly! I'll help you build a snowman or have it ready whilst you ski, that sounds better!

We can swop environments for a short while! I'll stay in Pennsylvania and you can take in London! I think that's the thing with any kind of weather, you can definitely have too much of one thing and it becomes nothing but a pest after a while. Still, come Christmas I don't mind spraying some of that fake snow around, it's not the real stuff but it will do for two days every year! Andrew

I think that I would find it very difficult to live in the Philippines as I'm not used to tremendous heat! I hardly see any snow at all and I would relish some snowfall, at least once during the remaining days I have left of my life! I would love to experience what your cousin experienced, for a short time anyhow. It probably would become a bit much as you say. Andrew

I shall definitely keep Hungry on my top ten list of countries where there is snowfall! I envy all of these descriptions of such beautiful snowfall! Is there anything that can be done so that London starts receiving some? Anyway, Christmas doesn't seem like Christmas without the snow here, it just seems like yet another day. I guess some of the Christmas movies help as they are always showing picturesque snow scenes! Andrew

haha yes I know exactly what you mean!!
How about transporting snow in 100 cooling trucks, and then transport it to your house? LOL! You could as well use fake snow! It's a good second option for snow! It's cold, it's white! So exactly the same! LOL
If you have google earth, then zoom in on Nagyváty, hungary! You will find a beautiful picture, token when there was that many snowfall! It's about in the middle of my village! Really 2 beautiful pictures!
And a good thing about HUNGARY (With the A!! :p) is that it's not even far away from England! From Holland, it was only 1400 KM!

Yes, I've heard of that google earth, great idea, have not used this though. Thanks. Andrew

Florida sounds nice. I'm sure they must have one of those fake snow centres though where you are, where they do the indoor skiing and so forth! Do you travel then to somewhere where there's snow at Christmas? I guess that's the thing to do if you really want to experience snow and ice, perhaps a polar bear or two!! Andrew

It sounds like you had quite a snow party with your friends! That sounds like a great idea, your snowman building technique I mean Yes, I definitely miss the snow and maybe it's a thing of the past now with this global warming thing. I wouldn't rule out a Christmas in Alaska or the American wilderness though! Andrew x

Well if global warming means we won't get any more snow i'll certainly be going to alaska or somewhere chilly for a spot of snowman building!! hehe xxx

thanks for the BR! xxx

Hi Tracy,

I'm sorry to hear about your unpleasant experiences in relation to snow! That's a real difficult thing when you are suffering with a disability and you have to do everything yourself. There are a lot of insensitive people around who tend to overlook disability at times. I would probably love the snow at first but then I guess, like yourself I would eventually become sick of it. Is South Carolina much warmer? Andrew

Thank You Andrew!
From what I hear, SC only has about one month of winter a year! I come from a ski resort area, so you know that it is cold & we get snow! I don't like the cold either! My problem with the whole disability thing is, I don't look the part...You'd never think I had anything wrong with me if you saw me. Therefore, people just assume that I can take care of things by myself..I cannot! I really wish that I could! You have yourself a splendid day as well Andrew! And, do me a favor & fix my computer issues in your free time...you never did tell me where you get the smileys! Oh & I forgot that I was going to send this next letter w/out fixing anything...I'll do it next time & don't go thinking I am an idiot when you try to decipher it...just check it out& see what I have to constantly deal with OK? Bye for now! :o) <<<< my smiley face :o(
See Ya

I guess there has to be a nice balance with all kinds of weather! Some snow, some rain, some wind and lots of sunshine! There's just so much fun to be had when there's snow! You can build snowmen, you can throw snowballs! You can even slide down a hill on one of those bits of plastic, I forget what they call those!! I hope that we get some snow this Christmas. Andrew
