First snow

Posted: Dec 6, 2010

We are having our first plowable snow storm of the year in my section of Maine (6-12 inches). It is really gorgeous. I know I will not be singing this same song in a few months. It just really puts you in the holiday spirit. I am not into winter sports so it makes for a long winter, but always enjoy the snow in the month of December. I prefer to enjoy it from the inside looking out with a wood stove fire going - LOL.

I saw my first snow of the year a couple weeks ago...sm - yep

here in Western Washington. Love the stuff! Also not really into winter sports, but it is entertaining to be out in it playing with my klutzy black lab.
I vacationed in Maine last year, near Acadia NP, and can imagine how gorgeous it is there with snow.

Is a nice place all year long. It is approximately a 45 minute drive for me to Acadia. I agree dogs are fun in the snow, but I have 2 cats in which I do not let outside during the winter months or nasty weather. They will soon find out they are in for a long haul and will have to find entertainment indoors. :)

All the weathermen/women stated flurries from lake effect snow (lake Erie). It snowed steadily from 10 a.m. until ? I got tired of watching it and went to bed.

We usually don't get snow until January or February. I'm afraid we're in for a white freezing cold winter. It would be the first heavy duty one since the blizzard of '96. Not ready for that.

I'm in SE Wisconsin, had a blizzard yesterday/last night and there is so much drifting snow there's nowhere to go with it... and it's still blowing like crazy outside. You know that commercial of the husband who goes out to snowblow and he ends up somewhere away from home because he just keeps going and going. Well, I just had to laugh at my husband because that's what he just reminded me of. He did our property. Then when I went outside I saw him up t ...

The Diary of a Snow Shoveler December 86:00 PM. It started to snow. The first snow of the season and the wife and I took our cocktails and sat for hours by the window watching the huge soft flakes drift down from heaven. It looked like a Grandma Moses Print. So romantic we felt like newlyweds again. I love snow! December 9We woke to a beautiful blanket of crystal white snow covering every inch of the landscape. What a fantastic sight! Can there be a more lovely place in the Whole World? Moving ...

Well, our snow just started here in Michigan. Hope you all are well in Minnesota and Wisconsin. I think our area is supposed to get 7-11 inches. That doesn't bother me as much as the temps coming. Good luck to all. Stay warm and safe. ...

We got 32 inches of snow today and still snowing. Cannot get out the front door because snow is piled up high. Cannot get out the back door to the elevated porch because snow is piled up high and afraid porch will collapse. Snow shovel is buried somewhere underneath the snow. My little dog wants nothing to do with going outside. Thank goodness she is paper trained!! Calgon take me away . . . ...

I hope everyone stays safe in the storm that is coming or already has hit some. I'm in Mid Michigan and we are supposed to get about a foot tonight and tomorrow. I'm figuring a snow day for my son tomorrow. Glad I work at home. Hubby has to go to work tomorrow, maybe. Anyway, I hope everybody stays safe and warm. ...

I'm so lucky. Our county got the highest, 24-27" depending on where you live. I live in the 27" zone. So in 2 weeks, we have had 34" of snow. Had to laugh at DH. He put the snowblower in the storage shed after the snow last week instead of leaving it in the garage. It was a bit of a hassle to get it back out. He's 6' tall and the snow was up to his knees. His boots weren't [up to his knees]. Poor guy. I made a good hot luch for him, though. ...

Why people hear about snow and freak out and run to the grocery store? I went to get milk and a few other things that I didn't get the other day and it was crazy. I figure as long as I have milk and food, dog and cat food and cat litter we are ok. But I tell you people hear snow and they flock to the store big time makes me laugh actually I wouldn't have gone out except that I needed milk and hamburger. ...

I know it is not anything compared to what others have received, it is a LOT for this area. We are lucky if we see snow every 5 or so years. It is beautiful though. Huge pot of homemade chili, cornbread and cheese for dinner. Come onnnnnnnn summer!!! :) :) :) ...

We have 13" a hour ago. I can barely find the car and truck in the driveway. Heck, I can't even find the driveway! They say this is going to keep up until 10 p.m. here. Whoppee! They're starting to close the interstates now. I-78, I-83, I-81 certain sections. ...

I like the way the grayish sky contrasts with the white of the snow, and the pine trees. Just read a strange poem by Emily Dickinson about a pine tree, I'm sharing the whole thing here. Love the line, "a sea with a stem." I had to stop and look out the window at a pine, when I read this line. Yep, that's right - a sea with a stem. By my Window have I for SceneryJust a sea—with a Stem—If the Bird and the Farmer—deem it a “Pine”&mdas ...

a few years ago and it is really heavy and alas, our weather here is usually too warm to even put it on. I have had it about 2 years now and have worn it about as many times. I am wishing for cold and snow this year, fingers crossed here. ...
