It was practically balmy last night. When I came out of the craft fair this afternoon there were snow flakes, but it wasn't clear if it was rainy snow or snowy rain. Looking outside a little bit ago there is no snow on the sidewalks. I am happy for the least amount of snow.Buttercuphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03804094230127512943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4923253182612573434.post-79521828087070400942009-12-05T18:17:39.058-06:002009-12-05T18:17:39.058-06:00We'll send some of our freshly fallen snow her...We'll send some of our freshly fallen snow here from Eastern PA as of today....I like the very first blanketing....especially my kiddos enthusiasm...but come February...enough is enough....My bones envy your milder year round temps! <br /><br />When I was a youngin'<br />we had 2-3 feet of snow (Laurel Highland Mts. in western Pa) at times and would miss 1-2 weeks of school....we don't get snow like we used to..like in those "good old days." Even if we did, my kiddos have school at home...like any other day!! <br /><br />Glad you all enjoyed your dandruff(like) flakes!

Both earned brownie points from me for that!<br /><br />We moved here from Chicago so the flurry (pun intended) of activity before a predicted snow here just makes us laugh. I went to Walmart the night before the "storm" and was amazed that there wasn't any milk or bread. I casually mentioned it to the checkout clerk and he laughed and said it happens everytime there's a prediction of snow or a hurricane anywhere in the Gulf of Mexico.

Our kids get excited for the first snowfall and they definitely enjoy it more than I do but everyone gets tired of it by March!! Glad the kids had so much fun what a neat experience for them. Loved the smiling faces, glistening eyes and red noses in Texas snow!Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12655939262347264558noreply@blogger.com
