That's just too dang cold! lol.

Its not unusual get little to no snow at all in December here on the Colorado Front Range. On surefire way to get Fall or Winter snow is to have the Broncos play at home on Monday night Football. A blizzard is almost guaranteed.

They are pretty until you have to live with them 24/7, then the beauty is lost. I know that the loss was significant to you and I'm sorry that you took what I said as not caring about your plight. It wasn't about you at all. For all who LOVE snow. Good, I'm glad it has a friend somewhere. It is like anything else that you get too much off, the wonder of it all can and does wear off.
Originally Posted By Liberty Belle That's ok Goofy, sorry if I sounded tetchy! I knew the point you were making and I don't think I'd really want to "live" with snow either.
Originally Posted By DAR <<I'm sure I'd tire it of it if I had 100 days of 20 plus inches like you & DAR>> I don't mind it so much when it's falling because new snow is pretty. Sure it's a pain to drive in and shovel or snow blow. And my drive way is at least 50-55 feet long, haven't measured yet but it's long. The problem is always the days after it gets cold so if you don't get everything cleared away you end up with a sheet of ice. Then you gotta buy salt, and take an ice scraper and chip away at. Then and this is the worst. As the temperature rises the snow starts to melt, okay that's not bad. But as it's melting it takes on this brownish/black mucky color that just is depressing to look at especially late February/early March.

Other than that...I'm with Ursula-I'm freezing in this 60-ish degree bright blue sky weather. Time for a nice hot shower to warm up!
Originally Posted By fkurucz <<BBBBBBBBBBBRrrrrrrrrrrr! It is freezing here at 62. And I forgot my gloves.>> LOL! It reminds of a trip we took to DLR in Oct 2005. Some friends from San Diego came up to spend a day with us. It was about 60 degrees that day and they were turning blue (they forgot their parkas) and were flabbergasted that we were ok just wearing a sweatshirt. I suppose that if they came out here they would shrivel up and die! Another memory is of a business trip to Stockholm. One of our travelling colleagues was from California. The day we were to visit a customer it had snowed. She just assumed that they would be closed. We laughed and told her to get into the taxi. The cabbie was thrilled that we were from Colorado. Turns out thet he was a big Peter Forsberg fan, and Forsberg played for the Colorado Avalanche at the time.

Originally Posted By fkurucz Actually, I think it was only mid 50's the day our friends came up from SD. And that was the midday high. Which for us was great. I am also reminded of our only trip to WDW. It was in January and I recall that the CM's really were wearing heavy coats in the mornings, which IIRC were in the low 50's. Ia actually laughed out loud when I saw them. Kids out here walk to school in sub 30 degree weather wearing light hoodies.
Originally Posted By chickendumpling <<It is freezing here at 62. And I forgot my gloves.>> LOL! We had snow again this morning. Yay! It was all gone by the time I got into town. Oh well. I enjoyed it while it lasted. What is it about snow falling that relaxes me so? It's just magic to me. *sigh* Nobody kill me for saying this but.... I wish it would snow again.

Last Feb at EPCOT I was shocked to see mittens and coats on guests and CMs. It never occurred to me that would be cold to someone. When we go out to the car to head out next month, the coats will stay home.
