More that you'll ever know. :crySC:

We are suppose to get a little snow in the early morning

We got about five inches of snow overnight, then it was sunny this morning. Now it's snowing and blowing so hard I can barely see across the street!

Wow! Do the kids have a snow day?

'Fraid not. They plowed the roads in the morning, and by the time it started getting blizzardy in the afternoon, it was almost time for school to get out anyway.

It's been snowing on and off here all day, but it doesn't seem to stick. We're supposed to get more overnight. It sure has been pretty! But too bad I haven't gotten all my leaves raked yet! :unsure:

Drive safely out there Rob! Ever notice how people seem to forget how to drive in snow every November/December??

I have the same problem. I make it a point to rake the front yard before the kids come for Halloween, but then the weather always seems to get nasty before I can do the rest.

Yup! It's actually kind of funny to listen to the police scanner during the first snowstorm and hear about all the cars in the ditches. People, we just went through all this eight months ago.

Yeah, and didn't you say once that you have a big backyard? Seems like I remember that from somewhere. We have a big 'enough' backyard, and even though we only 'own' one big oak tree in the back, the neighbors behind us 'own' a whole row of mature trees that are beautiful to look at, but ALL the leaves go in OUR yard!! With my back (I have Scoliosis), I'm not much use raking anymore, and even my son has to see a chiropractor, so he's not much help either!

And LOL, YES---you'd think people would have a handle on this driving thing considering we live in Michigan!!

Aw, I'm sorry to hear this, Amy. :alright:

The backyard's not very big, but I have another lot on the side that seems to draw leaves like a magnet.

Oh, and it's zero degrees this morning. And snowing.

Oops, cancel that. They just gave our official morning temp on TV. It was four below zero.

Thanks Rob. And YIKES---4 below?!?! Eek! It was 19 degrees here. Gosh I love Northern Michigan in the summer, but I just remembered why we don't live there!

Amy you need to invest in a leaf blower. MY husband never wanted one, but one year I defied him (yes I do this often..lol) and bought him one for his birthday in July. November of that same year he was thanking me for such a wonderful gift. Its great you can blow all those darn maple helicopter seeds out of your driveway in the spring and back into the neighbors yard!! :shh3:

As for all that snow.. thank goodness I live on this side of lake Michigan, it looks like you guys are going to have a long winter !!!

Snowing like crazy here in PA. Here is a pic I took about 10 minutes ago.

Oh how beautiful... I love watching snow fall from my front window while I am safely tucked away in its confines. Now excuse me while I go grab a blanket as shivers just ran down my spine looking at your photo Debbie.

Pretty pic, Debbie! It's snowing like crazy here right now...I have to admit it is beautiful! My son is coming home from college tomorrow evening for Thanksgivng break---we were going to pick him up but I thought better of it and ordered a train ticket.

Lorrie!! LOLOL---I OWN one!! But my hubby doesn't JUST blow those darn helicopter seeds into the neighbors yard, he gets out there and blows leaves in their yard too! Downright embarrassing, I tell y! :shy: Our main leaf deposits are in the backyard anyway, which is fenced, so the leaves have to come up. I saw one of my neighbors out one day though who had the bag attachment on her leaf blower. I wonder if we have one of those....

It's all a lost cause now---the leaves sit and the snow is piling up on top! Guess we wait till spring now. LOL, this SAME thing happened last year! Fall just doesn't last long enough around here anymore! :sad5:

I Want more snow lol you can see the Grass already it just does not feel like Novemeber

Jacob, I started a "winter" thread in the photo gallery for winter scene pics---You can get more snow there!

Well we're still supposed to be in fall in November though.. lol

Man, it was awful driving to work this morning. We have thick fog and where I normally drive 60 mph, we were all going around 40 mph. It's awful driving at night when it's foggy.

It's been snowing all day here. It's that fine, "sugary" kind that really adds up. It looks like mid-January out there. We're buried.
