Move over, homey. And have some of this chili, it will help the tears flow.

I am going to make up picket signs demanding our right to a January thaw.

Where's my January thaw? I want it, and I want it NOW! And I'm going to sit here on the floor and cry until I get it.

Waaaah!

The office is closing at 4PM - still daylight so the drive home should be slow but easy. Looking forward to Ghosthunters and a glass of wine.

Maeve.... yes, indeed, I do appreciate the fact that youse send the snow on up here. I recall the last time. You got over two feet and only sent about 5" up here. Just looked at the radars and see you are up to your's in snow again. You say anothet two feet? Gosh, same deal again... we are to get 4" and then some sleet and then rain. Youse guys are greedy!

Thanks.

Would some of you kind folks stop by and take a load of this Southwestern Michigan lake effect snow home with you, please? I just made a pot of chili, the teapot is full and the cozy is keeping it just right, so we can have a bite, make some music, then you can take some of this off me. I would love to share it with you!!!! PUUUULLLLLLEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAZZZZZZZZEEEEE?

It's so cold that an exhibitionist stopped and told me what he wasn't wearing under the coat. It's so cold you can freeze eggs on the sidewalk. It's colder than a teacher's wit. (thanks, Utah. I will rob anyone's lines)

Jacqui - are we talking about Seamus or Kendall here? They are both masters of THAT look!

No snow here but it's not nice out... Candlemas is only just around the corner, better start digging out your gopher holes.

If Candlemas be dry and clear, there'll two winters yet this year.

I'm not dead and the guy fixed my furnace which only needed some scraping off of a sensor thingie and a time adjustment on my blower (it was shutting off too soon).

I'm going to make some hot chocolate. I practically plowed my whole driveway out with my shovel, and I'm TIRED.

We here in the Greater Wash DC area (and Maryland) finally had our turn yesterday and today.... snow, followed by sleet & freezing rain. Not a fit world for man or beast out there right now!
It is supposed to turn too all rain soon, and I sorta feel guilty about how easy we have had it this Winter. Not willing to trade, you understand...just guilty.

We spent all day in Baltimore Monday so Rita could have a medical thing done at Johns Hopkins to 'make life better'..(went fine) then came home and....AFTER we got home, we got the snow. Once in awhile you guesses right....

Just a very light, "talcum powder" snow falling steadily this morning in SE Michigan, but it's just right to make driving kinda hairy; touch the brakes at anything above a creep, and the ABS chatters.

Got to get to the beach this morning, just as the first flakes started falling, so the boy's had his walk and won't look at me with THAT look.

I can cope with staying in and watching the world get whiter by the hour.

Snow here too, of course. Jeri, Sinsull, Kendall and Jacqui send it to us, and we send it along to gnu in due course. Snow is what gnus like best.

Brought in wood and Envi-blocks, tended to the bantams, filled water bottles, took care of online jobs. Now I'm baking a pie, making mushroom soup, starting the bread, and hoping for a nice long winter's nap.

We have a bright shiny morning today in North Texas after a couple of days of freezing rain. There is a slippery crust on everything and lots of puddles as it melts off the roof.

I woke up this morning and wondered why I wasn't uncomfortably warm. A trip to the basement revealed a small puddle of water and a cold, silent furnace. Popped the reset button and things got warm and the leak stopped, then the button popped again.

So then I shoveled a path to the basement door and called the oil/funace guys, then came upstairs and popped some aspirin just because I'm paranoid about being a statistic. Now I'm eating a bowl of cheerios with a ton of milk because of the aspirin and my stomach.

Hey--at least I have electricity! And water! And space heaters!

I suspect Rapaire in Idaho has snow stories by now, but many other MOABites have little or no chance for snow until deep in winter. Here in North Texas it is heavily overcast, but it is warm and looks like a preamble to rain later.

Snow in Sussex? Not yet. The Ditchling Morris and their weekend visitors, Les Polletais from Dieppe, are dancing at various points around Lewes toda - in cold, driving rain and freezing temperatures. I filmed them for 20 minutes yesterday afternoon and went home frozen to the bone. But no snow...

Driving up to Congleton tomorrow afternoon - wish me a snow-free journey!

The first snow, even just a smattering, is always and forever worthy of a tiny bit of childish glee.

It's cold & wild here on The Fylde; wind rumbling in the chimneys and sleet lashing the windows. In the Moorbrook on Friday they had the fires lit, and out 'n' about in Blackpool yesterday I declared that Winter was well and truly with us - though actual snow, they tell me, is rare in these parts. No Cleveley's constitutional today; which means no ham & cheese toastie in Sassy's, unless we drive... Too cold either way; so needs must we batten down the hatches and do some music.

Just a smattering here in Surrey, not even enough to surprise the kitten. Had to break the ice on the bird-baths though...

Snow here too on the North-East coast. About 1" on the dunes when we walked the dogs, and some nasty showers out to sea - as predicted.

Weeeeeeee, it's snowing here in Essex this morning. Big fat fluffy flakes. By the time we get out for a stompity, all that'll be left is nasty sludgy grass. Pretty for now though...
