We're in a winter wonderland right now, ice-covered everything! It's beautiful!  

I hear ya! I'd much rather have snow, too. We just moved to the mountains last year BECAUSE my husband adores the snow. He was born in February, the month when we typically get the most snow so he probably associates it with good times.

I've been wanting to make some snow angels but so far all we've had are these danged ice storms!

You can have all the snow you want. I hate the cold, and the snow. You can keep it.

I live in Kieve and here I saw a lots os snowfall. I love snow faal becaue i come from a country where there is no snow. This is the 1st time i can enjoy snow !

Hindsight is always 20/20, huh? I've been through many ice storms but never thought to take a picture until today! I wish I had pictures of previous storms because some of them were more breathtaking than this one, even though they brought down power lines and tree limbs. I hope this one ends soon before any damage is done!

I hope that it stops before you have any damage too. Good luck to you and everyone that is dealing with the snow and ice right now.

I just looked outside and, apparently, it's above the freezing mark outside because the ice is melting from the trees.

Oh, well, at least it hasn't gotten so bad that power lines or tree limbs have come down, at least not on our property.

I haven't been out so I don't know what the roads were like but, from what I can see of the trees, there's probably no ice on the roads now, either.

Wow!!! That's a lot of accidents! You'd think, living where you do, that more people would know how to take extra safety measures when driving in this stuff, but they don't. It always amazed me when I lived in Maryland; everyone was always whining and complaining about it... like they'd never seen it before!

Yes, not having to drive in this mess is always a plus! I'm glad I was sick all weekend because my hubby went out and bought all kinds of goodies from the grocery store. We're fully stocked so I don't have to go out, either!

I do wish we'd get more snow here, though. We got more snow in Maryland than we do here in the mountains in Virginia! I ADORE snow! I want so badly to make a snow angel... I've been waiting so patiently... okay, not so patiently.

Do you have any photos of your snow?

Oh, I forgot to add that hubby lost his job two weeks before Christmas so he's working from home now and I KNOW he's happy! LOL

I took a picture just for you!I hope your hubby is making some decent money at home--sometimes losing a job is the best thing that could happen, it makes us stretch our minds and come up with inventive ways to make a living. And we don't have to drive in the ice and snow!!

Thanks so much for the picture! I LOVE it!!! Can't wait til we get some snow here... I'm tired of all this ice and rain!

Hubby actually started his own business a few months before he was laid off, doing the same thing he did at work. He's an engineer who designs PCB (printed circuit board) designs for computers and electronic gadgets. He's had plenty of work so far and he makes more money working for himself than he did working for that company... that nasty company that laid him off (permanently) after he gave them 10 years of his life and some awesome designs! Hmmph! (New VP... thinks he knows what's best for the company when he really has no clue!)

But you're very right about stretching your mind when you're forced to! Too many people don't know their true potential unless or until they are in a situation like this.

So, hubby is doing great and is much happier working from home. He's finally become more frugal with money, too! He had a habit of spending way too much on things and he's now (finally) telling me I was right. Men!

I'm so glad to hear that he's successful and happy! And isn't it great (and rare!) when they admit we are right?!

I was just like you about having that time off from school. Yeah, we had to make up for it later but that unexpected 'vacation' was great! We got to stay home from school AND play in the snow! Ah, memories!

We lost our electricity for a week, too, when I was young. I remember all of us sleeping in one room, eating in that room, basically doing everything but, well, you know, when nature called, in that one room.

It's funny, Chevee, but we moved here to the mountains because my husband loves snow so much but we've had way more freezing rain and sleet than snow!

Yes, be thankful that you don't get weather as nasty as this. I'm just thankful that neither of us has to go out in this AND that yesterday and today are my son's days off work so he doesn't have to drive in it, either.

Don't worry... I'm staying in! Because I was sick all weekend, hubby stocked up on all kinds of goodies from the grocery store... plenty of fresh fruits and veggies, juices, soups, stuff like that. I'm not going anywhere until this clears up! It's already starting to melt (); that's both a bad thing AND a good thing. LOL

Don't worry, muscles... I'm staying in until this weather clears up! I slipped and fell on the ice years ago and was lucky I didn't break anything THEN. I'm older now and there's no way I'll take a chance on falling again! Nope! I took those pictures from the back doorway. I wouldn't even set foot on our deck because it was ice-covered as well.

I have tons of orange juice, oranges, vitamin C tablets AND multi-vitamins. My husband stocked up so I'd get well. I AM feeling ever so much better now than I was all weekend! I won't push anything, though, and I certainly will stay indoors until it dries up outside! Ice is pretty but it's nothing to mess around with!
