Environment Canada is predicting SNOWMAGEDDON over the next few days. Yes, they actually used that word.

We've already had to put up with way below normal December temperatures. I really don't need to see any more of the white stuff.

Wish I could send it in your direction, lurch. It'd be an interesting thing for you to photograph, I'm sure. :twisted: :P

We have at least a foot on the ground after a series of storms. More to come this week. I hope it's over by Saturday. Winter in airports is not fun, I hear.

I wish I could donate my snow to someone who wants it, like WGDs.

Patriots fans throw snow into the air after Tedy Bruschi intercepts a Miami pass and takes it in for a touchdown in the 4th quarter.

As Mom would say... "We are buried."
For Myles--
When evening shadows and the stars appear
And there is no one to dry your tears
I could hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love

For Mom--
Did you ever know that you're my hero,
and everything I would like to be?
I can fly higher than an eagle,
for you are the wind beneath my wings.

Fly...fly high against the sky...
Thank you, thank you, thank God for you
The wind beneath my wings

Coldest November in over 30 years, so I'm told. Foot high coating of it all over the place, and we don't normally get snow in November at all. Bringing things to a standstill.

Who would actually want this?

We had the first snowfall of the season on Saturday, and miraculously it is still on the ground. Usually the first snow melts in a few hours or by the next day. We've had an extended cold snap, so almost no melting as of yet.

The girls have had some in Roanoke, but I haven't seen any flakes here yet, thank the gods. I'm still full up from last year's heaping helping.

That really sucks, Sarge. You guys could use the moisture. :(

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...

I wish we could donate, but it would take a different form before it arrived.
