Is it Really January?? In MN?

Silver, it's late and I am working with the small number of brain cells that are still awake so please don't take this wrong (as it is meant as compliment) but you totally remind me of Encylopedia Brown.

no worries. I am a little teensy bit of a weather nerd. :P Well, I'm an all-around nerd (I'm sitting here switching between the internet and a game of Civilization 4 that I play on Thurs. nights over the computer with several of my family members, waiting for my husband to get home so that we can watch some Big Bang Theory) but weather is one of those things that I check the weather report for fun. And read about it. For fun.

We had a sprinkling of snow yesterday and the kids couldn't get enough. I had to force them inside when it started to get dark. It's amazing how a little snow totally changes how you feel about outside in winter.

Ok, I may be the Debbie Downer of the bunch but I WANT SNOW!!!!!! I have a snowmobile that hasn't gotten many miles and I think it is starting to think I have abandoned it.

Don't get me wrong, I love summer too but if it is gonna be this warm and not snow then I think we just need to fast forward to June (boating weather)

I'm with you! If you don't like snow, don't live in Minnesota! ~

My son has a snow removal business. Needless to say, this isn't a good year I hope we get something soon!

We go on a 'Winter Vacation' the first week of February every year...seems like waste of $$$ this year! But it's already booked, I'll have to suffer through

On the upside, we did walk to the park yesterday and the kids really enjoyed it. They probably will ask to go again today

Tue and Wed it was freezing. 14 degress in the morning. (and at the bus stop)
now the next couple of days they want it around 50. This weather is really weird. IT's farm show week in Harrisburg, PA and a lot of years we would get hit hard with snow. But not the past few years or even for this year. It's been above average temps. I tell me kids that when I was younger we would some awesome snow storms. We used to build snow forts. I remember we got hit hard with snow. Cars were covered. Some of the people in the neighborhood forgot where they parked their cars, so everybody just took a big mound of snow and dug it out. People were freindlier back in the 80's.
I think our last biggest snowfall was the blizzard of '96.
We did have snow this past halloween weekend. Which was strange.
I want snow. But I want it to be worthwhile. You know, at least a foot

I'm okay with the warm weather, however I NEED snow! Our puppy just destroyed our yard this summer and what was left of the grass died because the ground never fully froze and we were afraid to water the lawn. So now every time someone comes over they get to see our awful yucky yard and it is SO embarrassing! I just want a whole bunch of snow to cover it up so I don't have to deal with it until spring when we can reseed.

That and I don't like to go outside when it's muddy. Oh, and we can't go outside anyway because both of my own children have come down with some sort of stomach bug! Bring on the snow!
