The first day of winter!

This is far more normal for us than last year. We'd been freezing our hineys off for several weeks, and then had a LOVELY White Christmas (for the first time in my life). This year...nah.
 
Well, considering that I am a reptile (who has been known to sleep under an electric blanket even in early summer), I am definitely happy with the temps. :DN

Oh, there's still plenty of time. The Blizzard of '93 hit in mid-March, IIRC. I always wanted snow until that. I was living in Atlanta but went to Rome to stay with my dad while my mom worked the whole weekend at one of the hospitals. Rome got 23" with shoulder-deep drifts in places (I fell into one while going to check on their elderly neighbors across the road). Geez Louise. I don't care if I ever see another snowflake after that. Although last Christmas was certainly pretty.

I've been in much more but I do recognize the difference between snow here and snow further north. Aside from the type of snow often being different, there simply is not the experience here nor the equipment to deal with it.

You are correct, dearest. Why spend mondo $$$ on snowplows when we only have enough snow to plow once every five years? And you're also correct in that our snow is different from snow up north. Our snow is wetter/icier. We don't get that puffy, soft flakey stuff much. And combine all that with we never get the chance to drive in it to learn how to drive in it, it makes sense that civilization in the snow grinds to a halt as it does.
