I can't speak for Meri, but Princesca's aunt is always bleating for SNOW! SNOW! SNOW! this time of year.  The fact that she doesn't have to work (husband has a great job) and she makes her son do all of the shoveling probably has a lot to do with that.

If they could genetically engineer snow so it wouldn't turn into ice I would be all for it too.

We maybe got an inch, if that.  But of course everyone likes to exaggerate and say we got two or three.  Oh, well.  It covered the grass (barely) and it looked nice on the trees. 

We're supposed to get a dusting of snow Saturday morning.  I give it til afternoon today that everyone in the office starts freaking out about that.

If St Louis had the same kind of weather we did, your sister and fam should be fine. :glare: Some wind and a bit of snow, but nothing worth really noting.

*sighs*

Why the hell do you want snow?

Why the hell do you want sunshine?

That's such a stupid question. I want snow because I like snow. I like walking in it, driving in it, standing in it, playing in it, watching it come down, shoveling it. I. LIKE. SNOW.

I understand that not everyone does, but why does it follow that I should be apologetic because others don't care for something that I do?

:mad:

Do you know how often I have to sit and listen to people bitch about the snow, and when I say, "Well, I like it," get lambasted for it? Well fuck you all. :glare:





Besides, I'm off the coffee again. Fucking ulcer. :(

Don't sweat Yi, Meri.  He has to walk uphill both ways in Iowa during blizzard tornadoes.  I wouldn't dig snow so much in Iowa, either.

I bet Katmai and Berkut just loooove snow as much as Meri does.

I'm used to there being snow, I like winter in general just fine.  I'd probably miss snow if it wasn't here, but I can not say I love the stuff.

But.... I'm from Iowa. :( I loved it then, too. :weep:

I think this is the problem. I miss it terribly. It's been a very long time since I've seen any kind of decent snow. Certainly nowhere near enough to get tired of it.

I'd like run you people over with my snowblower.

Still mild and damp/wet here, though we didn't have any rain during daylight today.  :yeah:

But there was a thunderstorm at 6am.  :hmm:

Dodged the snow where I am in Eastern Massachusetts. Further west and north got a lot of snow. Though we had very heavy rains all night and into late morning, and if that were snow instead I'd think we would have gotten up to a foot of snow or more. Very slight leakage in my basement, just one place has a small thin trickle of dampness going down the wall, in the same place that it usually happens in when it does occur, which isn't for most rain storms.
