Notes of Quotes
There was never yet an uninteresting life. Such a thing is an impossibility. Inside of the dullest exterior there is a drama, a comedy, and a tragedy.

Well, the left is far superior to the right in this picture.
ha!! is this from the bagel shop? cracking up.
LOL! We got about 20 inches down here. I haven't even thought about venturing outside! :)
We got 2 feet here in Southern New Jersey. I didn't venture out until yesterday.

Jealous. :-)
Also jealous. We just get some lousy low temps. No snow. Not fair, lol! I'm like a kid :D
~ICLW~
ARRRGH Snow.
I am not jealous, I am not envious. In fact, I am pissed as hell. I hate the snow.
I hope it was at least warm out when you needed to shovel. We got dumped on last week and the temps plummeted and then at 10 below and dangerous wind chills I am digging out. UGH! Why, couldn't E do it? He caught himself a cold!
Now someone (i.e. meterologists) are forecasting 12-16" on Christmas Eve. NO! NO! NO!
NO MORE SNOW!
Thank you for letting me vent.
Oh, dear, I am terribly jealous. We are in Northern CA, and haven't had a good storm since we lived in Iceland. On the other hand, sometimes enough is enough!

I'm near Baltimore and we got a good bit this past weekend as well. As a matter of fact, my street looked much like that picture! I love the snow though, I'd like more for Christmas Eve-am I crazy?
Happy ICLW!
It is so hot here!!! But I'm not complaining because I hate the cold.
I'm glad your on the left, the right seems like a disaster!! ICLW
That looks like the view outside my windows looked like two weeks ago. Now it's melted a little, and has that dirty snow look.
I thought all of this snow was so darn pretty at first, but now I have to admit that it's grossing me out--that mushy, sludgy, sandy, gray mess at the sides of the roads--blech! So much for a white Christmas!
Hope you've been safe and warm! Our roads are still quite treacherous in our neighborhood!
Here from ICLW...
Wowie that's a lot of snow. Thanks for the reminder why my move from Ohio to Florida was a good one. ;)
Oh wow! Well, I'd much prefer to be on the left in this pic...but I think I'd prefer a beach to either! Stay warm!

I am an Australian so it's really freaking hot here when it's not humid or raining like crazy! So I am mega jealous!!
Happy ICLW :)
