    Growing up In South Texas I have learned two things about snow

    1. Your City will shut down
    2. It will kill you
    There, but for the grace of God, goes John Bradford

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    I woke up to about an inch or two of snow this morning. We were supposed to get a dusting but by a fluke, a band of heavy snow sat over us. Meanwhile, 15 miles away there was nothing but flurries. I do like the snow but I don't like shoveling the driveway. There is nothing quite like the hushed silence of a snowfall. The whole world seems at peace then. Love it.

    If the weather up here is as usual, I'll get one day of snow this Christmas, then three days of slush.

    Currently suffering the worst period of storms in twenty years. Apparently the biggest one for a week is tonight. Last weekend it knocked out half a million or so houses, threw some stuff around. Not in my area though

    There is nothing like trudging through gray sludge for 20 minutes to get to your local grocery store. And then there's the return trip, laden with groceries, uphill.

    Depends on whether or not I need to actually do anything. Shoveling snow sucks. Having to do anything outside while its snowing sucks, except for playing football. If I can just be cozied up inside and watch it, I think it can be rather serene.
    It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then, the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.

    I believe snow is the work of the devil. It causes people to skid on ice and get maimed or killed!!!! Insanity, I tell ye, insanity!!!

    Hee! As a Minnesotan, I always laugh when I read/hear reports of snow down in Texas and Florida. The reactions of the people down there is freakin' hilarious.


    Incidentally, nothing here yet. I very much prefer it stay that way through next week, but I know it's a vain hope.

    My dad lived in Dallas for a few years. He said it was very entertaining watching the traffic helicopter shots of Texans trying to drive in the snow and spinning off the road into the grass. Of course, I don't think he felt the same way when he was out driving with them.

    Heh, I know, right?

    We had a dusting here in Happy Valley this morning. It snowed a decent amount during the day and there is probably an inch on the grass. Personally, I don't mind snow. What I mind is the cold weather that comes with it.

    Are you kidding me?! It's bad enough as it is right now up here in Canada, but when the dead of winter hits, we'll be trudging through a meter of snow. I'm not joking, man! I wish it would stay autumn forever. Autumn is the best, most beautiful seaon. Shame.

    I love snow. There is nothing like walking to class through a flurry. Of course then I'm not really in the mood for class, but since when am I???

    Going outside, being inside, pretty much everything is made better by snow. Though you have to be careful on the roads.

    I pity you. I hear some place in Ontario got it bad, with 76 centimeters of snow or something.

    I couldn't believe it... it was snowing here constantly throughout last night.

    Of course, by the morning the rain washed it all away.

    Actually I quite like snow - if it is real snow and not just a little bit that is melting away again after a day or two.

    This weekend it snowed for the first this year in our area, which meant that I actually had to get up earlier today to shovel snow - one of the momenets that made me doubt that is was a smart move to buy a house this year
