SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wooh hoo!!! It's finnally here!!!!!!!!!! :D:D:D:D:D I'm SO happy!!!!!!!! :D:D:D:D Actually, this was our third snow, but it was definetly our best, and it's still here!!!!! :D:D:D:D When I woke up this morning (10:00), the first thing I realized, was that my mom never came in to wake me up (my alarm clock is broken...), and I noticed that my fan was off. It turns out that we had a HUGE icestrorm, the electricity went out, and my mom decided to let me sleep in! The first snowday of the year!!! :D:D:D Yippee!!! :D:D:D We went to Dunkin Donuts (Mr. Bagel was sadly closed...) for breakfast and, when we got back, the lights were back on! :D:D:D The snow is only a few inches deep, but it's perfect building snow!!! :D:D:D:D EVERY SINGLE THING outside has a one-inch layer of ice (except the ground, for some reason...)! It's so pretty!!!! I grabbed my camera and took a ton of pretty pictures! I woudl show you them, but I obviously can't. :):):) All I can say is, it's the prettiest thing in the world!! No one can look at this and not believe that there is a Creator. It's so amazing! :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
P.S. Other Mainahs', did you get all the pretty ice, too, or is it just Gorham? Zoe, you live a few minutes away; did you get any? :D:D:D:D:D:D:D

*sniffle* I don't get any packing snow!! Just dumb blizzards that come and dump three feet of powder. My mom said that in Winnipeg (where she used to live), sometimes it would go down to -40, and there'd be warnings that said things like "Don't go out. Skin will freeze in under 3 seconds." Can you believe it????

I had about an eighth of an inch of snow, on top of the highest mountain, and went up to see it, just to find it as hard as a rock because it had rained!!! So, consider yourself lucky!

Well, Allie! That's so sad that you don't see snow; here in Minnesota we get lots! We had good packing snow two days ago, because it got a little warmer. But actually, getting warmer wasn't a very good thing because yesterday it got really cold again, and everything turned to ice. Right now it is 3 degrees.
Pretty cold, right? I know it's not as cold as where you live, Bellatrix, but it's still cold! Laura, maybe you could go in the mountains again in January or February!

Right now it's -16 here, not including windchill. Urrgghh. Anyway... Is that a picture of where you live??? I so, how do you DO that??? And actually, 3 degrees isn't so cold... Or maybe I'm just nutty...?
