Go somewhere, see it once. Preferably indoors, by a fire, with an electric blanket to keep you toasty.

Snow is a wonderful thing, unless you have to drive in it.
Crow, I always thought you were a manly beast.Confession time?
What a pity. I you can visit us, we have snow all year. Although fresh snow is the best.I've never seen snow.

I'd like to do that someday, I have teenage kids so it would be outrageously expensive to take us all there but it also seems wrong for me and the missus to go and leave them behind. I'll wait a couple of years when they're adults and leaving them out of our plans is more socially acceptable.
A good friend of mine is living in your part of the world and being the sporty type he is now an accomplished snow boarder, the bastard sends me pics all the time.
I could travel to the snow fields on the east coast of Australia but the season is very short, very expensive and according to the Euro folks it is not "snowy" enough - a better option which I am seriously considering is New Zealand a couple of years from now. I may even find a way to make it a business trip...

Snow.
Cold snap in the UK continues. Third day in a row that I've been unable to go into the office, so have to work from home. Same with the rest of my team, none have made it into the office.
Four to five inches outside my apartment now - and snowing heavily.
Beautiful, but am starting to go stir crazy from being stuck indoors.

Yeah something like that.
Still on the other hand I am surrounded by pristine beaches, unique wilderness and a warm temperate climate so I guess I can't have everything.
*I went to the Stirling Ranges when I was a kid because it was reported to be snowing there but when we arrived (after a 5 hour drive with 5 people jammed in a small sedan) there was just a cold, dirty grey, soggy mess and thousands of disappointed people.

I was in shorts yesterday up until I had to get properly dressed for work.
Today while driving to work my car's temperature read out keep bouncing between 36 and ICE. God damnit this is Florida, we aren't supposed to have ice outside!
Don't forget the giant spiders.Yeah something like that.

Hope is the denial of reality
Lunch time news in DC, and it all SUCKS. Charlie Rangel should be prosecuted for tax evasion and removed from office. Instead, he's spent $2 million and 2 years fighting a rap-on-his hand censure from the House. FFS. The GOP is going to hold the START ratification, DADT, and unemployment extensions hostage to extend Bush's tax cuts. FFS.
Somebody needs to kick some serious ass in Washington. Where are our rambunctious students and youth when we need them? Why aren't they holding massive (peaceful) pickets and marches on the streets, shaming our totally dysfunctional and inept "leaders"? Why does it have to be the Tea Party, or groups of old white people, or TV rallies for Beck or Colbert/Stewart to make some damn noise?
Kinda makes me wonder what the Democrats would be holding hostage if the deck was stacked the other way.Lunch time news in DC, and it all SUCKS.

Dude, I got a motorcycle technician one, so maybe all is not lost.
Crow, I always thought you were a manly beast.
But I better say dude more often just in case.
They're not organized enough.
I read that congress is now its oldest in history. So much for throwing all the bums and old cronies out, eh?

In the future, the Berlin wall will be a mile high, and made of steel. You too will be made to crawl, to lick children's blood from jackboots. There will be no creativity, only productivity. Instead of love there will be fear and distrust, instead of surrender there will be submission. Contact will be replaced with isolation, and joy with shame. Hope will cease to exist as a concept. The Earth will be covered with steel and concrete. There will be an electronic policeman in every head. Your children will be born in chains, live only to serve, and die in anguish and ignorance.
The universe we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil, no good, nothing but blind, pitiless indifference.
Oh yeah, giant spiders and deadly snakes are everywhere here.Don't forget the giant spiders.
This guy was a truck driver that came into our warehouse every weekday for the last 3 or 4 years and then last weekend he was killed by a snake bite from a baby Tiger snake - while sitting at his computer no less!

Tribute to snake bite victim
Posted Thu Dec 2, 2010 5:43pm AEDT
The rural community of Gingin is rallying behind the family of Michael Thorpe who died after being bitten by a snake last week.
Police say 43-year-old Mr Thorpe was bitten on the toe by a baby Tiger snake as he was sitting at his computer inside his home on Friday.
Mr Thorpe leaves behind his long term partner Tanya and six-year-old daughter Jana.
The Manager of the Gingin Hotel Peter Sayer says many of the town's residents and business people will get together to pay tribute to Mr Thorpe tonight.
"Just a bit of a get together and a bit of a tribute for Michael and his family and we're going to run a few raffles and the community businesses have got behind us really well and hopefully we can just put a bit of money into a trust fund for Tanya and Jana to help them along."

Not that much snow overhere, but it all turned into a thin layer of brown slush.
Learned 2 new things about the baby today.
1) She knows how to work screw on tops
2) She is strong enough to topple over 20lb containers of kitty litter.
I was proud, but not until I was done picking up the mess.
Teething child who won't nap
In-law will be here in 2 hours
I feel like screaming!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!
You need a swear towel.
My friend had this towel when we went bowling, and when he missed or screwed up, he'd hold the towel to his face and scream and swear into it.
Then he'd ball it up and put it down, and warn us, "Don't open that!"
Just let Miss K gnaw on the in-laws. I think this solves all of your problems.
We're stuck in a bloody snowglobe.
I wish she would. Most likely she will just cry the minute they hold her.
Went out last night, blacked out, came to my senses in the hospital. Alcohol...
Dude
Mad props

Really bad night at work, I'm possibly going to have to fire somebody over it
Party last night, another party tonight, struggling to motivate myself for round 2...
Such is Life...
I am flat out exhausted!
About 45 minutes after we got into Casper, it started snowing...hard!
I don't have a problem with authority....I just don't like being told what to do!Remember, the toes you step on today may be attached to the ass you have to kiss tomorrow!RIP Fluffy! 01-07-09 I'm so sorry Fluffster! People who don't like cats were probably mice in an earlier life! My mind not only wanders, sometimes it leaves completely!The nice part about living in a small town: When you don't know what you're doing, someone else always does!
Atari bullshit refugee!!
The boy becomes a man.
