It is snowing like crazy here and we just called my son and I am afraid that he is going to rush on the roads because he just woke up and was supposed to be at work a half an hour ago.It will be 2 to 4 inches by lunch time in the city.But,it going to be 4 to 6 inches a little more to the west,where I am.It is supposed to slow down this afternoon,but then tonight it will be an ice storm. Do you have snow where you are at?

Snow is pretty to look at and ok to play in for a few minutes,then the cold starts bothering my bones.Yuk!I always thought it would be cool to ride in a horse drawn sleigh in the snow! I remember when I was in 5th grade a girl moved here from Australia and she had never seen snow.It started snowing and all the kids went to the window.It was not a lot,so the teacher said that all the kids had to get back in their seats except that girl because she had never seen snow. We don't get it very much here as when I was younger.This actually is our first snow that stuck.Now here up north they have had plenty of snow and in north centeral and some places in the north west.Maybe someday you will get I here to see the snow.Hopefully you will.If I had the money I would bring you here.

Minnesotan Snowfall - Taken late December.
I live in Minnesota which we sometimes playfully call "MINNESNOWTA". Here's a photo from this winter of the snow we get here for you to enjoy aisaellis. In this photo there's already about 18 inches on the ground. We got 3 more inches during this storm. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB!!~

Here in Minnesnowta we still have about a foot on the ground. We have not had any measuranble snowfall in a week or more now. Just some bitterly cold weather. We've had flurries a few times recently but nothing much. It takes a lot of snow to slow dfown us Minnesotans though. At least a foot with high winds but then maybe even not then. We get a lot so it takes a lot to stop us. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

Yes here in Southern Indiana we have gotten snow, ice and rain. We have a winter storm warning here. I actually have the day off from work due to the weather. Though I didn't know we were closing until after I cleaned the car off and had it warmed up and was on my way to work. But still nice to have the day off work.

We are getting snow from the same storm system, we are expecting around 6 inches, it could be more, depends on the way the storm goes. I am just glad that we are not getting the ice, that is worse then the snow. Becareful out there.

We have gotten a few inches of snow here in Missouri since yesterday afternoon. They are calling for more, but so far it has not come. I am hoping the weatherman is wrong and it warms up tomorrow.

We had a bit a few days ago, it was pretty to look at and only laid on the grass and yards but not on the roads.. Snow is so scary, I love to watch it but worry so much about everyone having to get out in it.. I have been in the snow and ice before so I do know what it is like.. I am hoping for no snow..

Well, yes we have snow sometimes only. Since December up to the present we had only experience once with that snow 1-2 inches only. The lowest temperature that we had this winter is only 10 degrees. Well, the cold is tolerable but I don't like winter.
