And I've never seen snow in my life!
That is something I would like to do one day - have a white Christmas with my whole family - it would be neat - none of us has ever seen or touched it!
We usually have a Seafood & outdoors BBQ for Christmas lunch! If it's real hot (talking about 90's f this year) we might even go to the beach for a swim after lunch sometimes!
Enjoy your snow and make the most of it, in this age of global warming, who knows how much longer you'll be getting it!
The way the south Polar Ice is melting - pretty soon I'll be able to see Ice bergs from New Zealand, floating past when we go to the beach for that Christmas swim!
Cheers & thanks for sharing your Christmas snowfall with me!!

Damn you Lisa, seriously damn you. I do know that seeing that much snow WOULD get MY panties wet, and not because im waist deep in it! That would equal some serious cash, since we are in the snow removal business. Last year on Dec 06 we had our first snow, and this past week it was 76* and we were working in short sleeves. They are calling for snow on christmas, but i don't know. Sure hope so.

I hear ya Kris! The only plowable snow we have had here in West michigan was while I was stuck in Missouri Trying to pick up my new truck. Needless to say my boss was really busy doing his route and mine! Let it snow let it snow let it snow (but not like Colorado)

Kris - i'm sure everyone in this great state would be happy to see you. We're still having some serious snow removal issues, it just finally stopped blizzarding just a few hours ago! Still abandoned cars everywhere, still 8 foot snow drifts and nearly impassible side roads. Airport is still shut down. It'll take us a few days to dig out of this one. Most of the major trans. veins have been plowed, but, just as an example, my street is packed with about 3 feet of snow, 4 foot in some places. When I was out playing in the truck I passed a lump of snow I think was a Volvo.
Fly - well snow is fun and all that but I definitely wouldn't mind BBQ and a beach at this point. Stores are closed today and I havent done my holiday shopping yet. Eeeeekk! I can only hope people manage to get things opened up tomorrow. I guess that's what I get for waiting until the last minute.

We have this machine set up for snow with a snowblower, it is a beast in the snow. If it's too high, just raise the blower up and eat away at the drifts. You can't get this thing stuck, i have climbed up wild piles of snow and gone down the other side, just to see if it will do it, and it does. Too bad we don't get snows like that here where we can "use it"

Speaking of this S N OW STUFF! I kid-you-not my wife and kids went to the mall today and bought a couple boxes of Snow Powder. Its a box of synthetic polymer that expends up to 100 times is volume when you add water! Once you add water you put it in a ziplock bag and put it in the freezer. Once done, it looks and feels like real snow!!!!!!!!!!!! Is that sad or what?!
