here is our snow.........

It is very pretty. I wish we would get some of the white stuff!!!!!

Nice!
My mom used to get all up about not walking in the yard for the first day or so so she could enjoy the winter wonderland before we kids tromped all over it with footprints, sleds and snowmen. Hated that as a kid, but i see her point now...

Wishing for snow here in stockbridge ("The STKs") , but I know it won't come

Very pretty. I hope we get some, without the ice.

Hey kathydwells & katieblue... You are welcome to come visit me tomorrow & dig out my driveway. We are expecting 4-7 inches. Plenty of snow for everyone!

Just a little glance at our weather today.

And here's one from the East side of the Mississippi:

Wow! So pretty and calm. Maybe tonight a few flakes will fall here. Keep the photos coming.

And here's one from the East side of the Mississippi:

Love your house!!

Love your house!!

Aw, thank you! I love old homes; have only lived in older houses as a homeowner and only homes built in either the 20's or the 30's!

Love your house!!

Me too! Beautiful!

Peapod, our neighborhood was built in the 20s and 30s, too. I love all the wide mouldings and high ceilings of old houses. Though I have to say that I could do without the draftiness at this time of year. Ah well, the price of beauty.

My son just called from University of Southern Indiana, not far from the Illinois and Kentucky borders. He said there's an inch of snow already and it's still falling. We in Indianapolis are next!

five inches here......still falling steady!!!! the pick up at school is going to be a mess

I just glanced out the window and ours has started. You're right; school pick up IS going to be a mess! Tonight we have to go to a neighborhood board meeting and I'm glad it's only down the street. The first real snowfall of the year always throws everyone for a loop and people will be driving like morons, I know (sad but true).

And here's one from the East side of the Mississippi:

It's really pretty!


No sign of snow yet here in Ohio. They've already cancelled a PTA meeting that was at school tonight. I'm hoping for a snow day tomorrow....we would all get to sleep in!!!

is right!

Wow, we've just been guesstimating from being outside, I hadn't heard the actual numbers yet! Woo-hoo, it's not my turn for school pickup for the big kids today, and I already picked up my preschooler. My 12-year-old is supposed to have his Christmas band concert at school tonight, though. Wonder if they'll cancel...

That's a beautiful picture. :clap_1:

Burr! Not for me. Our 60 degree overcast skies is about all I can take.

Blood a little thin?

I am with you SJ - after living in Wyoming and Illinois most of my life - the snow pictures look pretty - but I don't want to live it anymore - when I see a picture of the beach - however - I am always picturing myself on it.

No snow in N Suburbs of Chicago yet today - though we still have a couple of inches on the ground from last Saturday.

I've been sitting here next to the window (working of course), waiting and waiting for all this snow we're supposed to get!!!! But, it's south of us (s. burbs and s. IL) I guess.

I think it's finally starting!! Yea!
I know you're not excited, but I am! (I wasn't born and reared up here, so that makes a difference.) I know you're sick of it!

Love your house!!

Me Too!!!

Yeah - it is snowing in Mundelein now - oh well here comes another bad rush hour. Maybe I should leave early to head for home!! :clap_1:

I can't believe how fast it's coming down. It's so heavy it's like a whiteout when you're driving. The traffic going to my daughter's school never got above 15 mph, mostly on roads that have a 40 mph speed limit. It took forever! It was so cute, though, to see all these teenagers having huge snowball fights on the front yard of the school. My daughter was soaked to her skin. She's a sucker for a snowball fight.

My husband is in Libertyville so I don't expect him him for hours probably. It is really coming down hard!! Accumulating big time!
