I think I read that January is likely to be snowless for us, as well. Of course, that leaves February and March. We shall see...
it actually has rained a few times. the creek that emptied at work has come all the way back...
Good news for you! Good news for me as well... at the risk of attracting the universe's attention :shifty: I'm happy about this winter's lack of snow.

I'll never get over StevieG's reaction to pictures of snow. He was like, "It covers *everything* like that??" :lol:

We had some messy stuff overnight -- a little snow, a little sleet, a little freezing rain. Nothing pretty, tho. :(

We got several inches snow yesterday and last night. Lovely and soft... I loved hearing the swissshhh of it off my shoes when I went traipsing around in it this evening.
"People without hope not only don't write novels, but what is more to the point, they don't read them.
They don't take long looks at anything, because they lack the courage.
The way to despair is to refuse to have any kind of experience, and the novel, of course, is a way to have experience."
-Flannery O'Connor

"In spite of much that militates against quietness there are people who still read books. They are the people who keep me going."

Ooooh, Sarge - What a pretty picture. It's lovely. It would be nice to have a bit of that, but I have to admit that I would not want to live in it.

I am a native Floridian and would have NO idea how to cope with that stuff! The thought of driving in it absolutely terrifies me.

Everyone who lives in it - stay safe!! :hug:
