Looks so pretty... it's sparkling in the light! Imagine yourself in a magical beautiful snow globe.... pay no attention to the fact that it's freezing ass cold. <BR/>Enjoy the glistening view as you drink something good like spiked hot cocoa. Or maybe a shot of Bailey's Cream in your coffee. <BR/><BR/>Today is the first day not back to work for the husband. Not having to go dig out, & trudge the 10 mile one way commute- priceless!<BR/><BR/>I was in Chicago once when their lake effect winter storm yielded a -60 below w wind chill factor temperature. <BR/>Brrrr! To the bone cold. <BR/> The big city was shut down. Busses did not even run. I remember, because it was my Mom's birthday in January. That is wicked cold. <BR/><BR/>I saw film footage of Portland Oregon yesterday.... looked like a slip & slide on a bridge overpass! Ironically it was a 4WD truck that was sliding sideways. <BR/>Ice is Ice!!!<BR/><BR/>I have 3 days off.... so this is all just a special treat as far as I am concerned. <BR/>Go out... make snow angels, throw snow at each other!!!!<BR/><BR/>I am going to make a miniature snowman, & put it in the freezer, since my son is missing out on this snowfall while he is in Ohio. <BR/><BR/>They are calling for Snowshowers this am & a high of 39 for the day. It's a rare treat for us. ... so this is a sacrifice you just have to make. <BR/><BR/><BR/>Maybe it's a good day to watch the Christmas Story movie- are you familiar with it? Ralphie & the Daisy bb gun <BR/>You'll shoot your eye out & the fra-gee-lay<BR/>(fragile) lamp- that is a woman;s leg in a fishnet stocking as the base?Franhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14198689517878201943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3882537619389851611.post-34440555051642156712008-12-15T00:39:00.000-08:002008-12-15T00:39:00.000-08:00Stop sending us all that windy snow!

I feel kind of wimpy complaining about it though, after seeing MT & ND (yikes! MINUS 50 degrees incl wind chill factor? that's not human!).D.K.
