StaceyinLA Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 We had almost 6 inches of snow at our house, were without power for over 24 hours, lost at least 3 trees in our yard (and countless large branches), had our mailbox crushed by a neighbor's tree falling, etc. GOSH the snow was GORGEOUS!!! Ds built a precious snow-man (yes, a man, with carved out arms, legs, head, neck, ears, etc. - very cool). In fact, he is still standing as of now. There is still snow everywhere. It is absolutely wonderful. (and at least we finally got our power back, but my Mom's is still off) It was 50 in our house last night. Brrrrrrr. Anyway, back to our regularly scheduled programming. I just hope it doesn't flood anything as the snow melts!! :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ottakee Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Glad you had fun with the snow. Do you get snow often at all? We had snow once when we lived in SC and the whole city shut down for about 1 inch. Here in Michigan we keep going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elegantlion Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Wow, you got a lot more than we did! We ended up with about an inch, that was all gone by the evening. That was enough snow for the next 10 to 15 years for me. :lol::lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kathleen in VA Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Hi Stacey, Your snowfall made the news here in Virginia! Sounds like you are making the most of it - sorry about losing your electricity, trees and mailbox, though. Can you post a picture of the snowman?

Jennifer in MI Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 Wow! You got more snow than we did!! Did you have a lot of wind too? I can't imagine losing that many trees! Or, are the trees in the south not used to the weight of snow? Enjoy! We're still waiting for a big snowfall. We've had a lot of flurries (oh, how I LOVE those big flakes!), but not much that has stuck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 Glad you had fun with the snow. Do you get snow often at all? We had snow once when we lived in SC and the whole city shut down for about 1 inch. Here in Michigan we keep going. I can tell you that Stacey doesn't get snow often. We lived in a nearby town to her when we were in Louisiana, before we moved to Michigan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unsinkable Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 Welcome back! If you ever miss the snow, come on up to Buffalo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StaceyinLA Posted December 15, 2008 Author Share Posted December 15, 2008 have we gotten that much and had it on the ground that long. And yes, I think the trees just toppled and broke from the weight. We still haven't gotten it all cleaned up. I am going to try and post a snowman pic - it was too cute!
