I live in NC, we got hammered too. They were only calling for a dusting, ended up with almost double digits. This was taken before sundown yesterday

Stop bragging!!! Last time it snowed here was 2009!!!

 

[kinyonga]

Wish it was the last time it snowed here! One year without shovelling snow would be amazing let alone 8 years!

What's the temperature?

It is special at least to be able to enjoy it while it is here. It was literally here for 5 hours before daybreak melted it, you know, 33 degrees!

It's less than 5C here now.
So you didn't even get to make a snowman??
Slide down a hill in a toboggan?

No, just throw snowballs, and take pictures.

Geesh....you need to come to Canada in March for a week or two!

Wisconsin has been the opposite. This is the first week so far this winter that hasn't been warm. Last week it was still in the 40s

If they stay that long, they may as well plan to stay till spring! Good luck getting out, once you're in! I'm from Erie. The snowiest city in the US. Thanks to lake effect!

I don't think I've ever seen a real winter, know that you mention it, I think I will stick to our sad little 6 inch tall snowman's.

What....you'll just take the quick version ....and not experience the real thing!!!?? No fingers and noses that are so cold you can't feel them from seeing outside shovelling snow off the driveway? No Rosy red cheeks? No hat head? No slippery sidewalks and driveways? Not being able to get anywhere because the plows can't keep up with the street plowing so you can't drive? No power outages that leave you scrambling to keep your critters and self warm enough to survive? No snowmen or skiing or skating or snow forts or tobogganing? Hot chocolate with marshmallows sitting around the side of a rink? No snow for Santa's sleigh? No sleigh rides? No beautiful scenes with iceickes hanging on everything glistening in the sun? Lookwhat you're missing!!

Only six inches When I was in elementary school we would roll snow balls that got to about 5 feet tall. It took about a dozen 3rd graders to be pushing one that big. Its more fun outside to when its -20F outside

Don't forget the frozen boogers stuck to your nose hairs!

The coldest weather iv been in was a few years ago I was trapping and it was -30 and wind brought it down to -50F. I looked like the kid from a Christmas story.

We got about 4 inches of snow down here in south Alabama. That's the most snow we've gotten since 1993!
