Morning All,
Well my area of SE PA is a gorgeous winter wonderland. Had me outside singing (and I do very poorly at that) "Walking in a Winter Wonderland." Everything is coated heavily and there is about 3" on the ground and still coming down heavily. Very early snow for us here.
Love, Maggie

15? . . . and I thought the wind felt cold this morning at just under 40 degrees. 
I'd never make it up there.

Aw!!! Come one Tex!!
Grab your longies, winter coat, stocking cap and gloves and winter boots and head on over!!
We'll go outside and have a snowball fight and build a snowman and make snow angels. I'd really like to take you sled riding~~~~

Well, it does sound like fun, I admit, but I'd be afraid you might run me off a cliff or something, just for meanness. Or, someone might have a tree planted right where I need to go, and the dang sled may not realize that I expect it to go around all the trees. LOL. A sled is one conveyance that I've never ridden, (along with skis, of course).

I have fond memories of when I was a child and myself & siblings would get all bundled up and spend hours outside playing in the snow.
We'd have drifts of snow so big that we would make forts to play in.
We'd build ramps on the steep hill behind our house and jump our sleds off of them, flying thru the air.
I had a friend who had a pony, so during the big snows, we'd hook our toboggan to the reigns of the pony and take her down to the start of their 2 acre front yard. We knew she would always"run" for her barn that was in the big backyard. Now!!! That was great fun!!!
We didn't have snow skis, but something shorter that we could strap onto our winter boots, so we'd start at the top of the hill and ski down to the creek..
Gee Tex, I need to send you some snow!!!!
Love
Dee~~~~

We had a road, about 3 blocks long, that was a steep incline. We'd go sledding down the road, not knowing if there would be a car coming when we got to the intersection near the bottom. One time my girlfriend and I ended up just squeezing between a concrete culvert wall and the telephone pole. Our parents seemed clueless about the dangers of our sledding escapades. Of course, I never let my daughters go sledding on the road - they went to the community park.

You never know what you can do until you have to do it.
Dang! You two are genuine daredevils. LOL.
Dee, if you should decide to send some snow, please make it wet snow. We'll take moisture anyway we can get it, the way things are going.
Love,
Tex

I spent many (18) winters in a little town called Tremonton Utah near the Idaho Border. Had enough snow. It is surely pretty and gods own work, but way to cold for me now.
I spent one winter in Owatona Minnesota and that winter with wind chill it was 40 below. Had to dress Like washingtons men men a Valley Forge to go 50 ft to the trash. Man was that Cold that year.

You've never been sledding, Tex!?!?! You're missing out...great pastime in the winter. My dad used to build us bobsled runs out in the yard with snowbanks so we wouldn't hit the trees. He used to do the down the middle of the road routine and had quite a few close calls that his mom didn't find out about until my Mom told him when my sister and I were in our teens!
No snow here yet (flurries expected all next week) but it is cold. We don't get the lake effect stuff that you guys seem to get so much of.

When you live in an area where you may get a 4 to 6 inch snowfall maybe once every 15 to 20 years, it hardly pays to rush out and buy a sled. We get 1 to 3 inch snows maybe once or twice a year, (not every year, though), but it usually melts right away, because of the ground temperature.
A couple of years ago, the corn was already 5 or 6 inches tall, (this was in April), and we had a freak snowstorm that completely buried it - kind of weird, since that was the only significant snow we had that year.

Hi....ah, fond winter memories. The biggest hill in town was a block away from my house, and we called it the "steepest". The town crew put up barricades so we could sled safely. When it was packed down, you could get up enough speed to make it down and over the next hill as well. 
All the neighbor kids spent hours outside, and then my mom made cocoa from scratch....yum!
No snow here yet, but it has been snowing in our mountains. The peaks around my town have white tops!
