Good Morning- First Snow of the Season!

Dejajeva · #1 10-26-2001, 09:17 AM

It's snowing here!

Isn't fall and winter great- just makes you want to curl up with somebody you love and drink hot chocolate.

(Except maybe a couple of -you know who-'s...who would probably be drinking scotch or brandy to keep warm)

Just thought I'd share my morning with you all.

For the record though, I don't really like snow, come, January, or march or April..I'm ready for it to be gone.

Always,
Jess

Gotta love hot chocolate - but yeah, a glass of bourbon would warm me up too - just not as soon as I wake up.

Today we had campus carnival and it was 85 degrees outside. I was sweating like a Guatamalian working in one of Kathy Lee's sweatshops. Fortunately tonight its supposed to cool off to 60 (55 in the hills). I hate South Texas sometimes, its 3 days away from November and its damn near 90! WTF? Deer season starts in a few days and they dont like the damn hot weather. What sucks is that it'll be like this till thanksgiving. Yeah, nothin says holidays like shorts and a T. And ya'll yankees wonder why we drink Iced Tea year round down here. CAUSE ITS HOT!!

I think we are going tubeing on Sunday. I want to work on my tan before the holidays. I probably wont have time to get any sun then. What was that about snow again???? <lifesaver gloating>

It's 63 at 6 pm but it's supposed to get down to the hi 20's tonight and in the mid-30's at night next week.

LOL, exactly. I hate hearing about some states up north are getting snow right now. I hear ya amycat, its OCTOBER!

I would love to make a snow angel one day and have a white christmas! Now that makes for a great holiday season!

Too bad houston is so darn hot all the time!

IowaHawkeye · #10 10-26-2001, 06:55 PM

i can't even imagine not having a white christmas... or a real christmas tree that we went and chopped down together (my family likes that bonding type stuff

) I don't think i could ever live anywhere that doesn't have all 4 seasons.. which is why i will probably live in chicago... forever... we have all the seasons, sometimes in the same day!

G-d..i'm so jealous..it was about 78 here today..I love the snow

When I was a soph, one of my new floormates (freshman) was from Trinidad. The day the new freshmen moved in, we had a floor meeting to allow everyone to introduce themselves, say where they were from, their major, and something about themselves. The guy from Trinidad introduced himself and said "I'm really looking forward to seeing snow." The previous winter we'd gotten a total of 90 inches of snow... so we upperclassmen were all laughing and saying "You will... you will!!"

3 days before Thanksgiving break, there was a snow flurry. My floormate came running into the dorm, all excited, and said "WOW!!! Did you see that snowstorm???" I sat him down and explained, very patiently, that that was only a flurry, and it gets worse. A lot worse.

By February he wanted to go back to Trinidad...

I love having sunny warm weather all year round. I will watch
the snow on TV.

Yeah . . . I believe the great state of Iowa is the only one to record a day with snow, and with temperature over 100, during the same month (june) . . . the midwest has the worst weather in the nation. When it's hot - it's brutal, but you keep all the lovely cold of winter. Fall and spring? They're lovely weekends, then it's on to the more extreme seasons.

Northeast is pretty bad - having lived here for all of my 20 years (between Connecticut and school in Boston), I can say the brutally humid summers and brutally cold winters can really get annoying. That and the fact the temperature will change by some 20 degrees a day at some points in between in the fall and spring makes things tough. It's no wonder everyone gets sick in the fall and spring.
