"Every day holds a new beginning and every hour holds the promise of an Invitation to Love." 

Lucky for Kelly and Jordan, they moved from Missouri way over to Kansas!  It's probably balmy there.

I'm a little jealous over that beautiful snow I'm seeing on the morning news.  I even turned on the furnace this morning just to feel a part of it all even though the forecast is 70+ degrees today.  Smokey, I could feel that old Chicago chill though when I saw the reporter on Michigan Avenue.  Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!  When it's cold in Chi-town, it's C-O-L-D!

Looks like Michigan is snow-free though.  How did that happen?  Oh well, it's still FALL.  I'm sure once WINTER kicks in Michigan will get its usual fair share of the white stuff.  And then I may take another trip.  Last time I scheduled a February trip, it didn't snow once.  I really want to take a series of photos reminiscent of B&W in Color snow scenes of "A Simple Plan."  Branches in the snow.  If you're lucky, a cardinal flies by.   

Enjoy the snowballs and snowmen and ice skating!  Any photos would be appreciated!  I love to see snow!  Did you know the temperature necessary to have snow is like as cold as your freezer?!  Not just the frig -- the FREEZER, for cryin' out loud.  Brrrrrrr, again!

I'll put in another request for SNOW photos, guys and gals, even though I'm getting good mental images.  Smokey, it's probably hard to take a photo with that lakefront wind in your face and a heavy bag of kitty litter in your arms, but uh, couldn't you try to snap a shot with your cellphone at least?

And now I'll wait patiently.

Holy crap do we ever have snow!  Two feet yesterday (it snowed all night the day prior, all day yesterday and most of the day today) so Rob and I - and everyone else in Denver, have an extended vacation from work.  Every car in my community is buried, entrenched in, or otherwise blocked by snow.  Plows will not be able to get through the mess of cars that tried and failed to get out.  

I walked out to assess my car situation, saw the chaos and just went right back inside- and here I will stay 'til it warms up, which looks like Christmas day or later. Thank god I have an MC Escher puzzle to keep me occupied.

December 22 in Montreal without snow is a surprising thing, I must say.

Update: December 22 evening = freezing rain.  A sure fire way to make Quebecers nervous.

We had rain for two days straight in Omaha.  They say we might have flurries by Christmas.

Sorry, Susan, no pictures yet!

The morning after Christmas, Montreal.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, that is BEEEEE UUUUUU TEEEEEEEEEE FUL, Jamie!  Is that what you look out on when you wake up in the morning?  There's nothing like fresh fallen snow.

More!  I understand there's a big blizzard blowing across the "four corners" states coming up.  Get those cameras cranking, guys!

Here you go Susan, it finally snowed yesterday!  It will likely all be gone by Sunday though.

"We cannot allow a mine shaft gap"

No snow AT ALL this winter in Poland. Very strange and unusual.

We don't often have white Christmas but then - you get snow before Christmas or for new year, or in November...

Well, like some people said before, we also had some snow in October what but hey, that's no SERIOUS thing to have snow in the middle of autumn. Snow happens in summer, too.

Anyway, the whole year has been outstandingly warm. I suppose a few records have been beaten.
July - hottest in over 200 years, September - about the same, practically NO rainfalls for over a month (in Sept.), now - a few weeks ago I coul walk around wearing sandals from time to time.

Very unusual.
But at the same time we had the biggest frosts for a looong time, too, last January. Perhaps it's coming this winter, too.
(I hope! the insects haven't died out properly... the ticks are eating dogs up again...)

Gorgeous, Danwhy!  Is that a stream near you?

Bob, don't they have tick protection in Poland?  We don't have much of a tick problem but there are plenty of fleas here.  Lola has never had a single flea in her 4 1/2 years thanks to Advantage.  Once a month every month.

This is for fleas and ticks:

This was after the plow came through the day after the blizzard ended. Where the dude is walking is about a foot of packed.

Guys, it's freaking snowing again. 'Nother foot and a half tonight. 

One good thing when it piles up like this is it's conducive to napping, which is what I did most of Xmas.

Yes Susan, that's Elbow River, one of the 2 glacier fed rivers that run through Calgary.

 12 - those shots look amazing!  I agree, a nice snowfall is the perfect opportunity for a great nap.

Thanks for sharing your snow, folks!  We had a moment of hail two days ago that felt a little like snow.  But not really. 

Today in my part of LA = Abundant sunshine.  High 67 F.  Winds NNE at 10-20 mph.  Stronger winds in and below canyons and passes.
