I hate snow !
Just got back from Traverse City (90 miles away) ... my 2 youngest were due to fly home today but the snow put an end to that ...
O'Hare is apparently so backed up it cant get its shit together which means flights coming in to TC are delayed which means that flights going out of TC are delayed with the end effect that my kids are here till Saturday (lucky to get last 2 seats on BMI flight). Brother in law is in Manchester UK happily sleeping in a nice hotel bed with the intention of getting up early tomorrow to collect kids who wont be arriving, dont have his cell number called Sister in law got answerphone, called Neice who dreamily told us she'll 'try' and text daddy before the morning ....
6 days snow free and then we get hammered ... ARGHHHHH !!!

Re: I hate snow !
Yeap we got it too!!!
I used to love snow till I moved to MI... every year in the UK I would wish for a white christmas etc now I am really starting to dislike the stuff esp driving in it and we do have 4 wheel drive (I wouldn't be with out it). Also since having Emily... Hubby and I can't walk the dog together because pushing a stoller in the stuff is a bloody nightmare.

Re: I hate snow !
Me thinks you're all living in the wrong state if you don't like snow. Move down to a tornado state instead

Been there, done that, December 2002.
And for the record, December 2004, the score was: snow 1, Cleveland nil.
