First Snow!

It just started a couple of hours ago. I'm now snuggled up watching the anne of green gables sequel in my nice warm apartment.

anyone else get snow yet?

yep real true snow and everything! South Shore started sometime after 1 p.m. and it is really coming down now (for us Californians this is real snow )

what a coupla weeks.....ma passes away suddenly, earthquakes, hurricane/tropical storm and now the first snow of the season out here.......wild world.

thank goodness for the ol' girl scout fire building skills!

Where are you all that are getting snow so early in the year? I have been wishing for a white Christmas here in Kentucky....but all we are getting is the cold....no rain, so no possibility for snow without the wet.

I was always praying for a white Christmas in my Lancaster California home. We had at least 5 beautiful snow days in the 20 years I lived there. I always spent my birthday in Jackson Hole Wyo so I could have snow on my birthday to make up for not having a white Christmas. I love snow, so am looking forward to more of a possibility of having it here in Kentucky than in California.

It's so awsome watching the white fluff come floating through the air. soft, quite, peaceful. In front of the fireplace with a good movie going & a cup of hot tea. Ah.....I'm dreaming of a white Christmas......

I can't believe you have snow in CA? I'm up here in Seattle and we hardly ever get the white stuff. I wish we did.

Thank goodness for my electric heat skills! I am very skilled at raising the temp in my apartment

Debbie,

I am way up north in Nova Scotia in canada, right on the coast. So snow this time of year is not really that big of a deal.

You wouldn't beileve it but it is now snowing, partially raining, and it just started thundering and lightening too. What weird weather.

Enjoy your snow. You can have it.

In my 56 years I have waken up to snow at home only once, back in winter 1989. I have been in Southern California all my life, so snow never had a major role.

That one day we did have snow, my daughter, eight years old at the time, had a broken arm and was in a cast. She couldn't even play in the snow!

My biggest exposure to snow came on a two-week business trip to Connecticut in early 1983. They had the biggest blizzard in over thirty years while I was there. That was more than enough snow for a lifetime!

The only positive thing I can say about snow is that it can be pretty.

Ha ha, Bflat I am right there with you, I don't like the snow. Unfortunately I live where it snows but it won't really snow, hopefully, until January or February. Maybe we will have a good winter and get none at all. We never know what we're in for each winter. Some winters are mild and others we get slammed. The snow is very pretty when it first comes down and everything is all white and pretty. But then it gets dirty the roads are horrendous and I don't want to shovel anymore. It's time for me to migrate south. Someone told me to take snow shovel and keep going south and when someone asks 'what's that?' I know that I've gone far enough! Everyone enjoy your snow and have a great holiday! Stay warm.

Okie - Lake Tahoe is in California - IMO, it's some of the US's best skiing - great snow, and you don't freeze to death sitting on the lift!

I'm in Portland -- no snow here in the city, but it's been snowing in the Cascades quite a bit.

not sure where rainbowzz is but we're currently in N.S. Canada handling our late mother's estate and such. wild week w/ a tropical storm/hurricane last wknd and now snow--enough that the plows keep going by and have for a few hours tonight. should be slushy by noon Sunday. after all we've been through we need some clear sunny weather so that our flights and the driving legs of the trip home go smoothly.

as native Californian we don't really do snow. at home snow falls every 20-25 yrs and even less out on coast where we live. it will be nice going from the Atlantic crazy weather here to the solid, boring, barely noticable changing of seasons along coastal CA.

Hi LMo,
Lake Tahoe is in Nevada, isn't it? Portland is very close...in fact I have a sister living in Happy Valley!
Best,
Okie

it's in both California and Nevada...

Happy Valley is lovely! Your sister is smart!

Where are you?

Hi Lmo,
I didn't know you were here now!

I'm up just north of Seattle about 20 minutes in Lynnwood.

I come down to Portland every Christmas to shop at your Mall. Your freeway is a nightmare!
Okie

yeah, you're not kidding! Fortunately, I live in town, so I can ride my bike or take the bus most of the time. Public transportation, fortunately, is terrific here.

How interesting.....Rainbowzz is also in Nova Scotia Canada...just read her reply....so you are close to each other....you are having the same snow storm.

I am still praying for show here....one never knows what kind of weather we are going to have. I brought the worst draught in 50+ years from California.....but if we get a winter, they definitely can't blame that on Caliornia.

I want my snow!!!! I need some different things in my life right now & think that would definitely be different.
Debbie

Debbie I definitely know how you feel I came from Vermont to California a year and a half ago to chase my dream and I so want to have that feeling of first snow again. I definitely get a little home sick this time of year.

GO SNOW! Wooooo Hoooooo!
