Default The Dreaded "S" Word

Well, we went from expecting just a dusting of snow to a WINTER STORM WATCH .

Its Oct 10 for crying out loud.

What's next ?

Wow, Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas is in the mid-80s during the day and upper 60s at night.

For those of you who live in PDC, do you ever miss the snow?

Yes, I occasionally miss snow. On my screensaver, I have some pictures from my last snowboarding trip in CO, mixed in with sunny PdC pics. It's really funny to see 100 PdC pics followed by the occasional snow covered pics. Mountains and treetops covered with snow make for some cool pics - no puns intended.

However, I feel that snow is something you should travel somewhere to see... like the mountains... for skiing and snowboarding.

I love to look at snow capped mountains too, but I don't like the cold much. I also thought that I might want to vacation in Colorado or Canada after I move to PDC. Alaska and Hawaii are two of the prettiest places I've been. I'm sure there are many others, but I'm limited to the places I've seen. Colorado is pretty cool too. California and Vancouver aren't bad either. I think I just love nature and the ocean. The Caribbean rules!

We love to look at the mountains here in Vancouver when they get a fresh snow fall it is like some one drew a line accross them ,the upper have is white and the bottom half is green. I hate when we get snow here don't mind the cooler temps and the rain,but the snow can stay on the mountains to keep all the skiers happy and it is great for business.

Talking snow

oh my gosh, I HATE snow. this will be our first winter in Mexico, our first winter without snow and I'm sooo excited!! For those of you who share my same disdain for the powdery white stuff I feel for you! 30 years in cold Boston was toooooo long! While I'm on that point if you want a great get away, come to Playa and stay in a great vacation rental: Playa del Carmen Vacation Condo Property Rentals.

Ok, I just had to do that! Am I banned now?!

Good Lawd! Four inches!! I feel for you Mav.
Beautiful t-shirt weather here in Ottawa.

We heard on the news today that you were going to get snowed in.
I'm so sorry to hear about this!

What the heck is going on?! This is too early for snow!!


Have the beautiful,colorful leaves fallen already in your neck of the woods?

We might be next. Who knows...
Everything is so uncertain these days!!

I wish there was something I could do for you to make the snow go away!
