I was outside using the snowblower on the 6 inches of snow earlier today when my youngest grandson came outside to play in the snow. We had just bought him a new hat for the winter. It's one of those robber type or ski masks with the eye holes, nose opening, and a small slit for the mouth to breathe. Anyhow he loves this hat. Now as I turned my back he blasted me with a snowball hitting my back. Not hard being he is only 6. But so cute. Well you know me everyone. I turned the snowblower chute towards him. Man did her get a blast of "snowballs" from me. I kept hitting him with the snow as I plowed the drive watching him try to run. This thing throws the snow 15 feet so he was getting hit hard. He was laughing so hard as was I. I kept asking him in the house later if he wanted to go outside for a snowball fight. HAHAHA! He never did take me up on the offer. Have you had a snowball fight recently? Is there an age where it's too old to have a snowball fight with friends and or family? I refuse to grow up. HAHAHA!! HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

I am almost always happy. Even when I am down in the dumps I still add some humor. Laughter is the best medicine I have always heard. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

That sounds like so much fun, poor kid. Mean grandpa blasting the kid with a snow blower, hehe. You are never to old to play in the snow. We got about an inch of the white stuff, then the sleet and freezing rain started.

Haven't had snow yet this year, at least not while we could go out in it, not enough to shovel or throw. I threw a few snowballs with the grandson last year. I do not get much time for it, but I enjoy it. I do not like having to scrape windshields, and I do not have a garage. I do not mind the driving in it, if it is daylight. Not so wild about snow and ice driving in the dark.

I park in the garage to avoid the snow and ice on the windshield. I hate scarping as well. It always seems to slide into the sleeve of my jacket. HAHAHA. That's always a tad too cold for me. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

I'm soooooo jelous. We didn't get enough snow to even make a fingerball. Can make plenty of iceballs thou. Gravel drive is now an ice skating rink along with the roads. Only reason I'm here now is I'm waiting till round 5am to head out to deliver papers. My boss told me several others aren't heading out till then either. Customers can call and complain all they want. I'll just tell em if they want their paper so dang bad, to come get it. Let them drive on the black ice.

My daughter is asking about snow all the time these days, she is 5 yrs old. We dont have snow where we live Grandpa Bob, so i think you and yours are lucky that way. I am showing her snow on TV. I am happy for you and wish you have a great Christmas. (How's your wife?)

My kids would just LOVE to do this. The opportunity to throw anything, let alone snowballs, at people would be very exciting. I could see my hubby getting into that too.

Sounds like a lot of fun buddy. I've only been in a few snow fights, which was more like frozen ice at times and it wasn't as much fun as what it looks like in films from the states etc. Don't grow up buddy, fight it! ~Joey

Wow...snow! We just had about an inch of ice today. I miss my Iowa winters - 20 inch snows and building snow forts and tunnels. A person is NEVER too old for snow fun!!!

6 inches so far and 6 to 10 more by Sunday afternoon expected. Then some sleet and ice after midnight just to coat the highways with a nice slippery sheet of ice. I refuse to grow up. HAHAHA!! HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~
