It’s Snowing!

Published by admin | Filed under Blogroll

This isn’t something you normally see in the state of Georgia. We normally get 2 to 3 inches every year, but with global warming, we are lucky to get 1 inch these days. This is about the 5th time it has snowed this year and it’s nice to have the opportunity to see it this many times. I feel just like a kid getting their toys on Christmas morning. I have always loved the snow. I think my first true love came for the white stuff, when I learned we could miss school from too much of it. So a good dusting of snow has always been a good friend of mine!

Since I have grown up and don’t get to miss school anymore from a big snow fall, there is still a part of me that gets excited to see schools closing when it snows. This is the 2nd snow this year that has fell on the weekend. Snow on the weekend in Georgia is no good and there is a good chance by Monday it will be gone or the roads will be safe enough to drive on. So I know the kids are all out there rooting for weekday snow and the ones in high school might even be rooting against weekend snow; because that cuts into their time at the malls, movie theaters and spending time on their dates.

I just never get tired of the snow and I’m sure the people up north would find that hard to imagine. We just don’t get it enough in the south, so it’s always something to see, no matter how many times you have already seen it. As kids we would find all the hills around and anything that would slide down it, would become a sled for us. Once we get old enough to drive, we like the parts about taking the 4 wheel drive vehicles out and spinning around in the snow. I have owned two different jeeps in my lifetime and had loads of fun in both of them, every time we had a big snow storm to hit Georgia. My Jeeps have been like toys for me and I’m just glad I never did mess one of them up; while playing around in the snow. I don’t think the snow falling now will close schools on Monday and may not even be enough to build a snowman with; but at least we can sit back in our warm houses and watch it fly from the windows!
