    Yeah that's how the snow got during the making of the torso, it just stopped sticking :(

    Hello bear. Love the snowman. Glad he can watch people drive by.
    The roads seem to have ground to a halt here pretty much this morning and it's still snowing heavily. Glad I got most of my christmas shopping done as it looks like we're going nowhere for a while. Just hoping there is some let up before christmas as I want my family to be able to get home.

    Hubby is pacing around on the phone trying to find out if work is going to become feasible today, not happening yet.

    Same here, no chance I'm getting to work today

    But with the amount of snow that's still falling I'm thinking the snowman might have some work done :D

    Yeah I hope the snow lets up as well so that ill be able to go home and see my family for christmas

    Love that song J, thanks for reminding me of it :)

    Snow, what is snow?

    The temp plummeted to 40 (F) today. Monday it was almost 70 (F).

    We might see a light dusting of snow for the weekend. (Virginia Beach, Virginia). My sister lives in Alaska and she says it still snowing there from last winter!

    However, my son did start on the Christmas outdoor lights yesterday.

    My nephew Sean (5) is an avid watcher of The Weather Channel.
    Yesterday morning,they cut to a segment of snow falling in Chicago and Sean got so excited to see it actually snowing.

    Any of you that want snow, I have plenty, I'll send you a whole yard worth of snow, front and back. ;)

    It's chilly today. For all of you 72F people it would be freezing, but us it's just chilly at -9C or 15.8F.

    I don't have enough snow yet, hmmm maybe I'm being greedy :o

    -4 is spring Bear. ;)

    Actually -9 is spring too.

    We're really lucky right now, considering how cold it was when I started this thread. I'll take -9C over -30C any day.

    I'll pack up my snow and send it your way Bear. Merry Christmas, go make a snow village. ;)

    It just got above freezing here yay! But.. the forecast is for a brief melt with rain/sleet then a major freeze, plummeting temperatures, and a lot more snow. Gee, that lot will make the roads even more fun. Our local shop has run out of nearly everything, hope they get a few deliveries before the next big freeze or we will be living on rice and pasta soon. We hit -14 early yesterday morning so 1c feels positively pleasant. Bracing myself for the next drop. Cooking up big batches of carrot and lentil soup to keep us warm. :)

    Yep the roads are going to be fun fun fun :D

    That soup sounds nice QP might see if I have any in
    Lucky for me I have a massive sainsburies just round the corner for me if I need anything so I don't have to brave the roads unless I have to.

    Keep warm :)
