I grew up here in CT, and moved out west for almost 20 years. When I lived in LA, I loved snow more than I do now. There you go up in the mountains to experience snow. You drive up, takes about 2.5 hours, you play in the snow, you might stay overnight. BUT, you knew that in 2.5 hours, you could be in 50 degree weather, sun shining, having a day at the beach!
Here, you don't even get snow days, like when we were kids. You hafta slog thru it, it's dangerous, and it's cold - scraping off windshields!! ugh!
But then again, it sure is pretty! And to spend a day off, watching it fall, the big fat flakes, the silence.. it can be wondrous.
Snow is beautiful. We don't get much of it up here on the Olympic Peninsula, but we do get a dusting. I grew up in New Jersey. We had snow days off from school. I remember loving it so much. There is nothing quite as quiet as a blanket of snow covering everything. The white muffling is lovely.

Thank you for the reminder... I like snow, I just hate driving in it!

Hi,Rexroth's Daughter
With yesterday's heat, I was just wishing for a cooldown!
It tried to thunderstorm - we got the lightning and thunder, but very little rain.(darn)
