Jealous?

I should say so!

It's snowing here too but this time, for once, it's not settling. For us it's routine, in Texas it's a treat. I hope you've an extra t-shirt to wrap up in though. And a hat.

Omni_Skittles · Post by **Omni_Skittles** » Fri Feb 12, 2010 1:31 am

yea, I layered... but i don't have the hat thing... or the gloves so making a snow man was kind of ridiculously cold.... It's still snowing! I'm loving this weather

That is so cool! Being from LA, it only snowed twice when I was a kid. Once my dad woke us all up in the middle of the night to go out in. And the sendond time was when I was in 9th grade, geography class. The teacher droned on and on, then closed his book unexpectedly and said "class dismissed." We woke up and thought, "Wow, I wonder why?" He directed our attention to the windows, where it was snowing. It snowed for 2 hours, the whole school went outside to play in it.

Enjoy it Skittles, what an unexpected joy to have!

More more guys I am loving all your stories about your snow days. I am sorry you are getting all the snow but to me it is refreshing to hear people enjoy the snow. For us here it's a long 8 months of snow every year.

Skittles the pictures are fantastic, what fun.

Well. I have branches down in the back yard from the weight of it, but it's soso pretty!! My cowboy and cowgirl dawgs do NOT care for it at all!! That coldness on their pampered pawpaws!!:-1 Every time I open the door for them, they run to it, see all that white, then screech to a halt. ERttttt. It's so funny to me, I'm doing it just for the entertainment. :yh_rotfl

I took my chihuahua out and set him down in it, and he climbed on my shoe and stood there, growling up at me.

I know it's nothing compared to what yankees endure every winter (sometimes spring and fall, too!). I like it now and then - it whitewashes everything, and makes it look so pretty!!!

I grew up in New Mexico so i have a great idea what snow is... but to have it in Texas is pretty great!!! I meant to stay indoors and watch movies and just let texans have all the fun... but my friend looked like she really wanted to be in it so my buddy and i helped her out... It was sooo much fun... NOW i'm going to go in my room and do NOTHING!!!
