That is just mean Witty... teasing me with snow

Got pics? It was sleeting here yesterday and I got excited

I wonder what the Farmer's Almanac forecasts for NC this winter? I hope it's a SNOWY winter!!

I just found the Farmer's Almanac forecasts online. Unfortunately, my zone is boring and only mentions cold and rain

But yours sounds like lots of snow!! Some people really rely on it... I've never followed it but have heard it is quite accurate. Check this out..

We had our first snow fall Nov 24. I love winter and was in a wonderful mood when I got into work and actually spent a few minutes playing outside before going in. The president of the company and my manager arrived while I was playing outside and apparently they didn't see things the same way that I do and were a lot more....grumpy.... then normal. I also recieved a lot of glares while walking threw the office that morning with a big smile on my face. Sheesh, I'm normally the grumpy one, here I thought they would be delighted to see me in a good mood! Apparently they didn't like the reason I was so happy and felt no restraint when telling me off, especially when singing Christmas Carols.

A Couple early morning photos for you!

We have had several snow showers so far here in Michigan! But nothing more that an inch or so

I can't wait to play with my new toy!

Woodstock · 12-04-2005, 10:13 AM

LOL Doug! I bet you get your chance very soon.

dwall174 · 12-04-2005, 10:34 AM

Yea I may be able to try it out latter today! We had about an inch or so last night & it's still snowing lightly now.

Barcochris · 12-04-2005, 01:54 PM

I feel so sorry for you guys. It was 75 here yesterday, And I had to put on sunblock ot go outside. LOL

Woodstock · 12-04-2005, 01:57 PM

Don't feel sorry for me Barchochris... I love and enjoy our different seasons! If I didn't, I would move.

/me does a snow dance for NC~~~~

Barcochris · 12-04-2005, 03:04 PM

I am cold just thinking about it. I moved from Chicago this year and I DO NOT miss the cold

Cougra · 12-04-2005, 03:49 PM

I thoo think it would be very boring not to have such distinct seasons. I really like winter (except for the short days) and wouldn't trade my white Christmas's in for the world. I would hate to have Christmas in the middle of summerlike weather.

Barcochris · 12-04-2005, 04:03 PM

It was strange at first, Getting into the spirit but ounce I Put up the lights it really helped. I do have to say that we do have different seasons here just not as drastic of swing. I loved the snow also but one summer at 120 and you really don't miss it anymore.

Witfull · 12-04-2005, 05:41 PM

dont knock Christmas in Hawaii till you have tried it~

Snow? Ugh! What a totally depressing thought! Having lived most of my life in the frozen places, I don't miss it a bit. Massachusetts, Colorado, Wyoming (the coldest) Utah, Idaho, and Washington all had LOTS of cold and snow, more than enough to last me a lifetime. Witt, I agree, Christmas at 80*, with palm trees and white sandy beaches (along with a couple of nice cold tropical run-filled drinks) is IMO much preferable to sub-zero temps and 2 ft. of freshly fallen misery!
