I hate snow. I hate snow with a passion. Its kind of funny how much I hate snow considering that I live in the Twin Cities, and Fargo for school.

The mountains around here are doing good this year. I went out last week and was up around 7000 feet. There was well over 10 feet. We have gotten one storm after another since then, and I'm sure they are pushing over 12 feet now.

Only three or four inches down here in Oak Lawn.

What a winter so far. Snow for a week. Warmth for a month. Snow for a day. Warmth for the rest.

I could see how that can happen.

I was going to say that he should give it back because it isn't his. Then I noticed they were talking snow & he can keep that!!!

It was sort of unexpected, all of the forcasts, weather channel, xmradio said rain maybe turning to snow little accumilation up to 3 inchces. Most of the time we hear its gonna be a blizzard and we get a light dusting.
