Don't think I could live some where that cold that it snows. I like it hot in Adelaide to day it was 41 degrees celcius that's 105 Fahrenheit that's what I'm talking about. But that's not to say a snowy vacation wouldn't be nice. I all ways wanted to build a snow man.

It only snows a couple of times a year here so it's a big deal when it does. We are well equipped for it though, roads are cleared fairly quickly. We should get around 6 inches, really not all that much. We've gotten over a foot in prior years and we almost always get Easter Snow.

I like the different seasons, fall is my absolute favorite. People come from all over to see the leaves changing colors.

We are going sledding and snowball fights tomorrow. Can't wait! Our neighborhood has a massive hill that ends in an empty lot. All the kids bust out the sleds and ski pants/snow suits and spend the entire day sledding. Such fun.

It's been raining since last Friday! Seriously, I was really considering building an ark. Good thing it wasn't cold or we'd be digging out of some serious snow.

Oh joy!! Snow....meant to be snowing from 11am tomorrow till monday but could be longer :( I hate the snow on a weekend, dont mind it at the weekend when i dont have to drive somewhere lol

Shame it cant snow tonight and snow me in so i dont have to go to work :D

In winter it snows the eastern states of Australia like NSW but only very rarely in SA and never in Adelaide. I do like the sound of a white Easter though. Easter here falls in the middle of autumn.

Its meant to start snowing here tonight too. Its exciting for about 10 minutes until you go outside, fall on your *, come back inside and realise all your pipes are frozen and your water supply is limited.

We don't get enough snow here for it to be enjoyable but we get just about enough to cause a nuisance.

I like a good fresh snowfall but here in Ottawa Canada it gets a little tiresome after a few months! Today is a refreshingly frigid -15 C feels like -24 with the wind. Yeah. Frozen nose hair cold! Bundle up and get out the sleds!

Also in Ottawa and had the same thought. Bundled my daughter up in several layers of fleece this morning. Looking forward to the snow this weekend after the rainy melt down we had last week.

I hate Toronto. We don't get much snow anymore. I want to move up north so I get more snow. I love snow too, Lissa!

Here in Quebec we have about 6 feet of snow,it has melted a bit in the past days but theres still enough for winter sports,quad trails and ice rinks are perfect. You dont have to move north,just move East lol

LOL @ the frozen nose hairs cold.....

When I lived in Colorado, got that cold once. My nose was squeaking every single time I would breath. Then when we lived in North Dakota....I swear I've never been so cold in my life! I swore I would never live north of the Mason Dixon line again and I haven't.

LOL I like the weather here in Virginia. It's only cold for a couple of months of the year and only unbearably hot for a couple of months of the year. The rest of the year (about 8 months), it's really lovely.

A real conversation when my son was very young...

Mommy, when does it snow here?

We're Texans sweetie. We visit snow.
