Holy Snow!

[IR5FORMUMSIE 850]

When snow learns to fall only on grass, trees, houses... You know things that make it look beautiful and NOT on the roads and streets, Then I'll be a fan.

I hear you brother.... unfortunately, snow is as good a learner as some of my ex-boyfriends ......

I'll bet the snow is warmer too....

We had flurries here today...our daughter was sorely disappointed. She was sure we'd be out of school tomorrow. Joel says we're going to have a white Christmas...would be nice but we've never had a white Christmas here in Georgia that I remember.

*begs the snow gods for snow on Christmas Eve*

Sunny and bright here today....and is supposed to continue with sun until Thursday I believe. Nice to see the pics of your snow though....

How's the snow today, Laura? Spoke with my parents yesterday (in Oakville) and they were saying it's been non-stop.

We had quite the midwestern snowfall late Friday night and Saturday. We must have received 6 inches! Yesterday it was bright and sunny, and most of the streets and sidewalk snow melted, but we have a lovely blanket. This is truly lovely given the six feet we received in Saskatchewan just before I left in January. Supposed to be 49 by Wednesday, so I'm guessing it will be all gone by then.

Yes. It's all the midwest's* fault for all the weather we've been right up the St. Lawrence Valley region.

We are now drowning in snow in Montreal, although the sun is shining brilliantly...woke me up.

*Why is it still called the midwest? It's time for an update.

Six FEET?!!! Was that just one snowfall?

Talked to my parents in Ontario and they told me all about the snow storm. I was happy it was them and not me. We had 2 storms so far and we still have the crappy snow on the ground (usually doesn't last for more then a few days).

So you can keep it there, I'm just happy I'll be flying out to Southern California next week and I can finally get some warmth back in me. The only snow I want to see are in pictures of someone elses place ha ha...

haha funny you should mention that. That's what people here call it where I live in St. Louis. And people in St. Louis think that Saskatchewan is the midwest too. Go figure! If people in Saskatchewan heard it say that they live in the midwest, they'd gag a maggot.

Hey Carla...totally!

My precious fiancé is from the "midwest" and so...but that wasn't the first time I heard it. Another friend from Indiana told me 2 years ago something about the solidity and conservatism of midwest people. And I asked where that was...hahaha.

I just looked at him as he giggled because he could see that this was not computing; geography is one of my favourite subject.

So I pulled up Google Maps and zoomed into the U.S.

Me: Look here the middle of the U.S. is waaaayyy West of Lake Michigan!

Friend: Yup. It is strange isn't it. It is based from historic (demographic) times.

Me: I need to research this.

And research I did.

I have figured it all out....and indeed people are stuck on an antiquated name that has not applied for almost a century.

Hahaha!

Try to create change in an unmovable society though.

My sweetie cannot even look at the map when I am trying to point this fact out to him!

He closes his eyes and says, "It is the Midwest. What are you talking about?!"

Me: "Chicago is nowhere near the middle, let alone the West!"

Bahahaha.

Yup...stubborn first borns...like I said.

UPDATE MIDWEST PEOPLE!

(oops, am I in The Vent thread?? sorry, hee hee)
