    Hehehehe We didn’t either. The only snow I saw last year was when I was at my son and daughter-in-law’s in Colorado for Thanksgiving. It was pretty and I enjoyed going snowshoeing but dang it was cold. When it gets to 11 and 18 degrees below zero it is time for me to get myself back down south.
    BTW…..It is now 73 degrees

    Gotta l:heart:ve a white Christmas

    I got to see a White Christmas the first year my son was in Colorado.
    It was really pretty and we spent 3 hours the next day leaned up against a mountain because our little southern son thought that the road was under that snow….NOPE….he ran off the road right into the ditch. I sat in his Blazer and watched the snow fall and get higher and higher on the window beside me. It was really a nice trip and we loved the snow. While we were stuck there we did get out and get some really pretty pictures.
    Yes got to love a white Christmas. :heart:

    I don't know how you do it. 1 hour in the snow is plenty for me. I will stick to the thick central valley fog and the 118 degree summer days.

    Yup I was right, first snow day here. No schussing down the slopes we call roads in the schoolbus. I had to do that last week! Hey Pamschwab3 how much did you get out there?:bigsmile: We have a foot so far and it's still coming down in good old Vermont. This year my hubby is getting me snowshoes for Christmas, I know because I put my request in early. I'll be darned if I'm going to be stuck in the house after spending all summer and fall walking to lose weight. I love winter, I love the snow, I love the beautiful countryside, I DO NOT like being cold. lol. I will go out and buy some Smart Wool and wear layers, then I won't be cold.:bigsmile: You all know you love snow and are just jealous of Pam and me:tongue::laugh: Well gotta go find my front walk now. See yall soon.~Karen

    We usually stay outside sledding for about 3 hours or so and it's so much fun.
    You don't feel the cold at all since you're walking/running up the hill over and over again... awesome workout!
