    I knew it had been forecast to snow for a few days but I guess I didn't believe it. I haven't lived somewhere where it snowed for many years.

    It's 4 AM right now so the pictures came out like crap but you get the idea. I'll take some more tomorrow using my brother's (much better) camera. It looks to have just started and it's barely snowing now, but there's probably an inch or more in a few areas around my house. I bet there will be a lot when I wake up.

    We have a chance of snow this far south, but mostly above 2000'. I'm sitting at 1000' so....no snow usually.

    Ugh, snow. I don't miss it!

    It's been beautiful in North Carolina these past few months, and I doubt we'll get any snow this entire winter.. When we get back to NJ though, ughhhhh :(

    It gets old, atleast to me :)

    The only advantages it had to me were snow days from school and work. And when I was little, seeing 5ft of snow in a blizzard was actually a crazy thing. Snow that's taller than you :p

    It's definitely something to experience though if you haven't seen it in person.

    -17c (1.4f) This morning. When it's this cold it doesn't usually snow.

    I prefer the snow from the pacific northwest (as you americans call it). Perfect snowball snow. :)

    yep it certainly snowed. Only a little bit though (thank goodness). Snow is pretty and fun to play in but that's it. I live about 25 miles south of work so I have to pray that I will be able to get to work when there is snow/ice on the roads. Last year, when we had a ton of snow, I missed several days of work. It took a long time to get back on track after losing that much money. Of course I had a Mustang last year. This year, I have a 4x4 Explorer but not sure if it will do much better. Hopefully it will.

    We were supposed to get some today but it didn't happen.

    I had my share of snow living in Alaska for 11 years and I don't miss it one bit.
