YEA SNOW!

[groomporter]

One of the reasons to be thankful for winter, or else the local ones would be bigger

[DeadBishop]

Bleh, just got home from work.  Why do people's brains tun off when snow falls?  I lost count of all the near misses on the road from all of the idiots that nearly put me in the ditch today/tonight...

[Leyla]

I disagree to all positive points to snow

1) I hate wet pant cuffs
2) I hate snow in my shoes
3) I cannot tolerate the cold
4) I drive a Kia
5) I don't do snow sports (see #3)
6) I drive A KIIIIIAAAAA (it needed repeating)
7) I work in a biz casual environment.  Dress shoes + Snow = unhappy Nessa

Sounds like you need a good pair of boots.

Snow I like...

The bitter cold I can do without!!!...

Snow blowing when it's -9 with a -30 windchill is no fun. My lovely wife would have no part of that this morning! She said it was my turn since she did it yesterday...LoL

Somehow I have the feeling that it will always be my turn when it's this cold out.

Our 7 year old battery in our Intrepid picked this morning to crap out too. Had to take that and get a new battery put in this morning. Replacing a battery in an Intrepid is no easy thing to do either since it's under the wheel well and you got to take crap off to get the old one out and the new one in. I had them install it. I wasn't going to mess with that.

I agree, Storm , it's not the snow that's hard to take, it's the subzero!

[Marietta Graziella]

Snow is beautiful!  The trees in our backyard looked so pretty (before the wind blew all the snow off).

Snow means skiing!!!  We love skiing!!!

Snow means wood burning stoves and fireplaces.  Love the smell!

Snow means staying home with my hubby, baking cookies, watching movies curled up on the couch.

Ah...  I really do like snow.

[Lady_Lily]

the snow i don't mind...it's definitely the subzero that I hate. Snow is pretty and nice it's the ice i can do without as well.

[white trillium]

Totally agree with you on the ice. We were out and about today, going to the grocery store, finishing up shopping, etc and we saw so many accidents, the highways looked fine, but were quite slick.  There was an 8 car pile up on westbound 394 just west of the 100/394 interchange. 

[Storm]

Yes...Snow is great...

I can remember when I was in grade school (uhm.....back in the 70's) how much I enjoyed waking up in the morning and seeing a blanket of snow covering everything. It was always a surprise back then since weather forecasting wasn't the greatest in those days and you could go to bed at night and wake up to a foot of snow the next morning with pretty much no warning from the weathermen (then again....not much has changed since then has it! The weathermen still have a hard time getting things right!...LoL). I remember listening to the radio intently waiting to hear that school was canceled. When that word came, all us kids on the block would head outside to play all day. We'd build snow men and snow forts, have snow ball fights, go sledding down the hill a block away, or head to the ice rink in the park just down the block for a little skating. We had a grand time in the snow.

Ah yes....the good old days...

Winter in Minnesota can be a wonderful thing....if you let it......

  Sounds like you guys got what we received last weekend - like 30-40 cm of snow and then Antarctic temperatures.  All the schools in town shut down last Monday - was a nice little teacher holiday for me and my friends!  This past weekend the southern part of Ontario (Toronto) was pummeled with the snow (read: people that get little snow and have no idea how to drive in it = tragedy).  Snow I don't mind, its the shoveling and cold that I hate - oh yeah and paying to get my driveway plowed too! 
  Happy holidays everyone - may they be blessed however you celebrate them!

I will say, this is definitely the most snow I have seen since I moved to Minnesota 4 years ago.
And living in a small town makes a world of difference.  Here when they first plow, all the snow on the "major roads" goes into the middle of the street and becomes a divider.  Then they bring in dump trucks, load up all the snow and haul it out of town.  That was an interesting sight the first time I saw it a few weeks ago.
This weekend was fun since we are so close to Iowa, and they were having blizzard conditions.  I got to cancel church for last Sunday since we were going to have 20-30 mph winds, subzero temps, and a new 6-10 inches of snow from Saturday night into Sunday.
And now we have 3-5 inches coming tomorrow, and the 4-6 on Wednesday, snow showers on Thursday, and more on Friday.  The pile behind my house is already as tall as I am, and I waded through waist deep snow trying to get to church Saturday night to change the message on the answering machine.
Its a lot of snow. 
Makes me wish I had something like a snow mobile, but I will just reside in my freezing office writing sermons that I never get to preach instead...

Hey as long as my kids parents get here by 5 it's all good.  I let them all slide on late fees last Tuesday because it was the first time any one had been late fince last Febuary.  One dad left his work at 3 and made it here a little before 6.

Steve and I went to visit his folks in Fargo this weekend and we expected terrible horrible roads.  We planned for an extra long drive home Sunday.  Tured out we had dry roads all the way there and all the way home.

I am already so very sick of shoveling.  Snow is heavy!
