Now, at last, the trees are etched in snow. It lies in clumps on the bushes and in a soft layer over cars and pavements. All day it has teased us, starting and stopping, but for two hours tonight it flew about in blustering winds and settled at last. The silence of snow. The way it sparkles in the light. The swansdown perfection of snow when nobody has walked on it yet.
Tomorrow there will be grumbles. Cars will slide, walkers will slither. The middle-aged will complain that this or that route hasn't been gritted. The old will protest that it was far worse than this in 1947 or 1963 and we coped without all this fuss. And the kids will put on their wellies and make snowmen. With any luck, kids, the teachers won't be able to get into school and you can have a day off and get the sledge out.
Tony - where did we put the sledge?

It snowed up north pretty badly. There was a bilzzerd. And 2+ ft of snow I think. And it was windy. I have very little idea as to what this weather means. Im not used to snow. Im ignorrent to the 'true cold/REAL winter' Not this 40-50 degress stuff. Eventhough it is cold. Cold as in the 30's/teens/below- IS COLD. 30 is really not bad if you dont have wind.
Ok, what I meant was It has goeen cold here, unlike in texas where it is warmer, but cold... but not as cold as here.
Do you like the snow?
YES! Yes, I like the snow. I like it when im warm and can sleding in it. I really want to make snowcream, though.
