The Best Time of Year

*Godfather* · 12-04-2007, 02:54 PM

I love putting up the Christmas lights outside with my dad and brother... we usually do it in the afternoon so it's always a mad scramble to finish before dark

Think they've done it without me this year though

Would be nice for the kids to have a bit of snow to make their snowman and make things a little more authentic.

You can have what's coming down here!

**Sp00k** · 12-05-2007, 12:09 PM

I gather its a bad one? Pics please and maybe a few mince pies.

As I said before your presence is my present.

*Godfather* · 12-05-2007, 12:09 PM

I'll take a little bit of whatever snow you dont want too

**Sp00k** · 12-05-2007, 12:18 PM

I'm surprised Lisey hasn't melted the snow.

I'm trying to with my super brain power...not working though.

If it's enough I'll take some pics..I think this snow is just going to make driving home a pain in the ass.

But as much as I complain about it...every once in a while it snows and everything truly does look like a winter wonderland...and I love it.

Ohh and Sp00k-

It's been snowing all day here, pretty bad at times, too...

but hardly any of it is sticking on the ground.

*Godfather* · 12-05-2007, 04:09 PM

Ho-hum... the people who want snow dont get it, and the people who get it dont want it

**Dragoness_Cutie** · 12-05-2007, 04:21 PM

Not completely true... Speedy loves snow. He's been bouncing all day 'cause they have some back in D.C. He can't understand why I grumble about it.

It's defiantly a pain in the ass when you've got places to be

We have had a good cover since last Sat. Last night 9 inches fell 29 miles SE of here.

I have already raised hell on one of the snowmobiles. Skiing this weekend.

We have about 11" of the real stuff and another 5" to come. I hate to shovel and plow it,
but it is still fun to play in as long as it is here.

We rarely get it now and when we do its nothing like it used to be. What i mean by that is the amount and depth of it. 20-30 years ago we had massive drifts which practically killed our infrastructure. Now the bookies have odds on us having a white Christmas and let us bet freely. the odds are quite good most years.
Probably as much chance as actually meeting Santa Claus.
