Default Anyone got snow?

I live in AZ, so it is perpetual sunshine. I have ties to Philly though and just spoke to a friend up there. They have had about an inch this morning and are expecting a lot more over the weekend. Do you have snow yet where you live? I lived in Philly for 10yrs and remember about 7 years ago we had over 36 inches in one night. It came halfway up the living room window. I was driving a little metro back then and it was completely buried, just a little mound in the driveway.

Anyway, it is shorts and t shirt today and out in the sunshine to do some yardwork. I would rather shovel sunshine nowadays, although I do miss going skiing every weekend like we used to.

And isnt it great! . Yesterday was beautiful and I went for a ride on my bike through Papago Park with a huge smile on my face, knowing that before I left the house, I'd checked the weather back home and they had forecast minus temps for the night.

I know exactly what you mean. The summertime here sucks, but this time of year makes it all worthwhile, I love it and try and spend as much time outside as I can. When I called my buddy up and asked her what she was doing this morning (knowing what the answer would be), she replied SHOVELLING F----ING SNOW, I had to laugh.

(Starts to sing) "Oh the Blue Ridge mountains of Virginia..." *SLAP*

A bit of a icy rain here yesterday - many things got cancelled with just a bit of ice on the ground. Some schools closed. This is even before the snow hits !
Slightest excuse and they close things.

Yap! It's snowing in New York. And they said it would be more snow over the weekend. Great!

I saw on the news this morning, you had a foot or so.
I live in Southern Maryland, when my daughter was visting last month we did the Skyline Drive trip (great scenery) even managed to photograph a Black Bear in the trees. Then on to Luray Caverns

Wink Let it snow!

It is snowing here in N.J. , a couple of inches so far. My son is digging out all his snow gear, snow skate etc. its great for the kids. I have my beedy eye on my neighbors snow blower, maybe I will go out with my shovel and look all pathetic and he will offer to do my driveway for me! Stay warm.

DFW had some New years eve 2001, a WHOLE 6 inches of snow

The black ice was pretty bad especially on the highway, right buggerd up the evening it did.

No snow here the ski hills tentatively opened on Thanksgiving having made their own snow but it seems the real skiiers dont like man made stuff they go for the powder so everything is still eerily quiet.

Blue skies and temps above freezing .... is this really December ?
