16. Yeah. In truth, I've seen it snow here in June,

but only one year, and it was very light. Still, I remember being borderline homicidal at that point!

7. I've never even seen snow.

I've lived in the South most of my life, and now I'm here on the West Coast.

Fortunately, I'm moving to NYC very soon, so I'll finally get to see it. :D

10. It's worth seeing. It is beautiful. Just not in mid-May.

It won't stay on the ground or anything, it's just depressing that it's cold enough that we have to look at it, again.

29. You can send some down to the Atlanta area.

We get at least one snowfall per year. This year, nothing but a few flurries.

Thank Jah for Burlington Coat Factory. Bought me a parka (we Californians are weak with our warm blood)

Black and with faux fur around the hood...

Going to the Cubs game today so I thought I might need some comfort...

34. Good job!

I had a Pakistani friend in college who, after one winter here, transferred to a school in Texas. He simply couldn't stand it. He also had to be convinced that wearing a hat, mittens, and a parka would really help. For some reason, he didn't think it would make much difference. He was odd, that way.

I refuse to look that closely. All I know is it's snowing, and I don't like it. My husband took today and Monday off work. What a great weekend to be home. :eyes: He's going to be laying around the house, irritating me for the next four days.

If I killed you now, that would leave one less person who would fully understand how I felt when I got up on Wednesdsay morning to snow on the ground here, too.

Plus, it would make a mess -- and you Know who'd have to clean it up....

The good news?

It'll melt. Probably by this afternoon.

Sorry about the gloating, at least you get some snow - I haven't been able to have a snow-ball fight or build a snowman for a couple of years. :(

However, it's pushing cooler air down here to Houston.

We'll have some days with highs only in the low 80's before summer sets in!
