Oh, the place completely sucks. Last year was the first year we went to the Mall of America and boy was I ____ED! I mean, we've driven from SEA to WI all this time, only to spend a week in Menomonie and NOT go to this little piece of heaven?

BTW, my husband is very anti-Packer. Viking fan all the way for him (he's always sad). And, oh hey, I'm wearing my Minnesota hoody as we speak!

 

I LOVE SNOW (and am like Jenna...a weather junkie)!!!

I don't have any snow tires or studs on right now but I love driving in snow. I usually reserve the CR-V for that (since Mo & I haven't gotten a truck yet).

I don't freak out at snow reports but instead thrive on them. It's the black ice warnings that set me off. I remember when Mo & I went to the Sundance Film Fest a couple of years ago and we were struck by how Park City, Utah (in the Rockies) was so easy to drive in. First, they have plows that constantly clear streets and they salt (like Jenna said) but they are very hilly. I think the problem with the Seattle area is that there is no salting allowed so municipalities & counties have to use that lime juice-ish mixture hoping it'll stem off icing on roads. We ice up so very fast here (especially on the hills that don't get a lot of sun which causes an ice/melt/re-ice/melt problem).

If it does snow Jenna, I agree...don't take your life in your hands. Everyone stay and drive safe!!!

 

I love the Snow I jsut hate what it does to work. All the guys to into children and there is usally a huge snowball fight, you never know when you walk outside wheather or not if you will get beaned in the side of the head with one of those things. And of course to beat all the car sales die a very hard death. Altho we do sell some 4x4 on those days.

But for the most part I love the snow and I have no problem diriving in it, it is just the other califonia transplants that scare the heck out of me. They really do not know how to drive in the stuff, and I usually tick everyone off and drive slowly, but I always get there.


Lol I love you Kelly and used to live in Ohio and remember the snow all to well, and have many fond memories of it. After living there and driving in it there it made me not as affraid of it any more.

The bigest problem here is that you have alot of transplants that have never seen a snow flake in thier lives and get out there and cause major accidents and then you just have a big old mess.

As for me I say "BRING ON THE SNOW"

 

I'm SO very north of Everett!

And the snow is supposed to hit AFTER I do my Sunday route!

 

just found out this morning that the elavation at my new hosue is 1200 feet and the snow level is at 1000 feet, so guess what........

I GOT SNOW

and it is still snow at the house, of course in town there is nothing, but my hosue is nice and white, YAHOO it is so pretty and my Grandmother is staying with us and she came down and said "oh my would you look at that everything is white. Boys why is it white outside?" she is so funny and not with it at all

Well happy snow day to all that have it

 

We're having serious snow! We're thinking of using it as an excuse not to go to a wedding in Seattle. But like discussed earlier in this thread, the wedding is for one of my husband's friends who is from Wisconsin. I asked my husband if the snow excuse was going to fly with him since they both grew up in snow central, lol.

We will be having some babysitter difficulties if we do go though.

 

We have five non-refundable tickets (at $15 a pop) to Peter Pan at the McIntyre Hall this afternoon..... and we will go! There's about 4 inches now in Concrete but they keep SR 20 plowed. This will be the big test for the PizzaBox.... (Altho it might be tempting to steal the Subie Outback from the delivery crew.)

 

We made it!! DRive home was a bit grueling at 20-30 mph and there's lots of snow on the road... trees down in spots. But Box handled it just fine.

Anne, Ready for spring now
