You have no.......

idea how much I don’t miss the snow. Walking a paper route on the shores of Lake Erie in Decemeber at 6AM sort of soured me on the beauty that is lake effect snow.

Hey watch it, some of us still live in Erie!

and I gotta say, I woke up to snow this morning and loved it. Not even sure why, but something about the first snow always picks me up

I never mind snow in April cause it's usually like an inch and a half and gone in 45 minutes :)

inch and a half I could see the complaint

but I don’t think I’ve ever met a girl that’s complained about 45 minutes :-p

when it's an inch and half, 45 mins is abolutely too long

That's pretty weird

I don’t know if anything I experienced in Minnesota can top that for short-term weirdness, but one year in high school we got 11 inches of snow on April 1 followed by 95 degrees less than a week later. The giant pile of snow in the parking lot hadn’t even melted yet. (And just for good measure it snowed again a week after that.)

I’ll be up in Girard this weekend. Not looking forward to it.

More power to you Jimbo......

its pretty, but its a pain in the ass. But some people really like that hassle. Shoveling out….going outside 20 minutes before you have to leave to start scraping the car off ( we didn’t have a garage :))……going to dinner and coming out and having to do it all over again……..sliding through a stop sign while doing 10 MPH hitting another car and getting a DUI……awesome stuff :) I kind of mad that last part up.

I actually miss it so much.

I’m in NC right now and looking at these pictures just makes me really wish I were back where fall was actually a real season, and we would get snow in the winter.

I read the headline and accidentally laughed out loud at work. Thanks a lot

Don't know what Jay's talking about

The weather’s the same in Minnesota. Unless he’s talking about something else.

Yeah

But It’d have to be a Southern fight song, and they all suck.

Oh my God!

What is that white stuff on the ground? We don’t actually have to play a football game with that stuff on the ground do we? It looks cold.

Everyone fails. The successful learn from their failures. I just wish we'd quit giving ourselves so many learning opportunities.

Hey look!

A gopher! Thanks for coming round. Our hate was getting sprayed in weird ways.

I can’t wait to see this game if it’s still snowing
