I've never seen snow, except on TV! I live in the southern part of Australia, and it can get quite cold, but it never snows here.
I don't know how you all cope when it snows heavily and you have to go out in it, drive in it, work in it, or whatever...I have to admit I could never imagine what it would be like...but I know it's not for me! I would rather hibernate for the winter! lol
Snow...lovely to look at, not so lovely to touch!

It is lovely to look at but I drive on it with white knuckles. We are having a lot of "black ice"...you think the pavement is clean but then you start to slide... I long to be a snowbird...to go south for the winter.

fresh fallen snow like a blanket upon the ground, covering it in a gentle slumber, soft pure white snow, so clean fresh and alluring, coating all it lands on, an artist brush could never paint a scene as pure as a fresh fallen snowfall

Geeze Frank...now you've made me feel guilty!

Well , since we are in the middle of a forecasted freeze and snow event

I like to see the fresh snow before it gets messed up by footprints...

But after 5 days of it, so far, and temps below freezing most of the time, I'm ready for some good old Oregon rain

Normally we get a snow fall and it might stick around on the side roads and yards for a few days at most, but the roads will be clear.
Normally the weather like we are having now is in late January or February and rarely do we get any snow before the Holidays.

now they are talking about an "ice" event possible Christmas Eve

At least the power only went out for a short time during the night, so that's a good thing. But the trees branches are drooping with the snow/ice combo on them.

Purity, serene, a fresh start...'though your heart be blood red...pure as snow'.

However, I get the sludge mud part afterwards also. I would still like snow, I haven't been in snow for almost 6 years.

that hot chocolate is waiting in the house for me.

What does snow mean to me???

It's....Snowball fights with nieces, nephews, brothers, sisters, and whom ever else is brave enough to join.

It's....Building snowmen as tall as we can get them.

It's....Teaching the little kids how to make a snow angel.

It's....Sliding down the drive-way in tennis shoes.

It's....A walk in the woods and hearing the snow crunch under your feet.

It's....Hot Chocolate with marshmallows when the fun is done.

That's what snow means to me....
