Oh, that’s great!
I love the first snow because it always seems so novel. It’s those blizzards in March that make me sigh …. by then, I’m sick of it.
I totally agree, definitely not a miracle! I just drove home in all that mess
Luckily it’s not below freezing yet!
I thought of you when I saw the weather warnings. I hope you are all snug at home for the duration.
Yep. I agree, and like the word you may be thinking of I can’t put it in my blog either. I’m hoping the weather person here is WRONG. Sigh.
Oh, he will learn…
Of course, I grew up in Winnipeg where snow for Halloween was pretty much a given…
Mmmmmm, nope Suze, dry as a bone here.
Snackmommy2 – yep, now a days there’s not so much snow. But back in the 80s when I was trick-or-treating I remember there being snow most years. Or at least bitter, bitter cold…
If we have snow by Halloween, it’s usually a trace amount, but cold….hell ya!
….can I say hell on your blog Dani?
Oops, that should be “hell yeah”, as in what can I dress in that would look remotely good over my parka
