Still snowing. Just beautiful! If that doesn't say Merry Christmas, I don't know what does.

5. Sorry to hear that, kieth
I'll have to admit. A little of the white stuff goes a long way in getting you into the spirit. Merry Christmas, sir!

7. I'm having a white Christmas too
But mine is because I have a White German Shedder, um, Shepherd who is blowing her coat. My "snow" is white, fluffy and abundant. When I sweep it up I've got a pile several inches tall. :woohoo:

10. Be glad you are not a bus or taxi driver
I love the snow, but I am VERY grateful I have an indoor job.

15. Drove a cab in NYC back in the early 80's, Tech
Just graduated and the job market was bleak. So, I became a hack for a coupla winters. Loved when it snowed. The fares were doubled. Made alot of jing.

11. We also have a couple inches of new snow. It is beautiful.
They kept predicting ice, which would be on top of an inch we already have, but I'm hoping we stick with the snow. My family is going to be so happy.

Merry Christmas, everyone. May 2009 be everything we've hoped so long for, topped off by some convictions of top honchos in this administration. In fact, tie a bow on that and it will be my Christmas gift for years to come!

17. Got my XM radio on the traditional Christmas channel, Frustrated
Combined with the postcard outside, put's a genuine smile on the face.

12. We had an inch of ICE last night
Now just rain, but the wet look on the road hides the ice.

16. We have about 8 inches on the ground, with a bunch more due
today and tomorrow.

The good news is that it's 21 degrees outside, and supposed to make it all the way to 34 at some point; we can hope that the pipes will finally unfreeze.

19. A couple inches here in my corner too, Condem...
it is still snowing. It was snowing HARD at about 8 AM - poor visibility right when my hubby had to leave for work.

But it is fluffy, white and beautiful. Of course, now I have to add shoveling to my list of things to do today so I could have done without that (and the sore back to follow! lol). As long as it clears out for tomorrow when we have to travel, it's ok, I guess. Another system coming in tomorrow night though, with freezing rain etc. and I HATE that crap! Give me the snow ANY day.

We've now had around 16 inches of snow since last Thursday. I'm ready for a little break, but the systems keep rolling in every two days! Going to be a crazy, hard, long winter if this keeps up!

Merry Christmas!!! :hi:
