I just moved to Chicago after three years of living in Florida. Where is the snow? Hmmmm? I see on the news that last year at this time this town was buried. I arrive here, actually looking forward to frolicking in the drifts, and what? Nothing. A flurry. And some rain. Bah! Oh sure, I imagine that I won’t enjoy the shoveling once the big storm hits, but right now I just have this childlike anticipation for a big snowfall. Will it ever arrive? Is it global warming? Will winter start in February and end in June? What’s going on? ---

I’m in Missouri. We haven’t had the snow we usually do. We had some this past Mon. night. It was pretty coming down, but I wish I could send it to you instead. I’ve seen it. Now I’m ready to get rid of it. ---

No snow here at all and I for one couldn’t be happier. I’ll send it over to you when it snows, ok? * * * Some drink at the fountain of knowledge…others just gargle. ---

Isn’t Missouri the “Snow Me” State? I have to admit, I kinda miss the snow, too—but I don’t have a car. At least snow, unlike rain, can be used as a fashion accessory. I guess Mother Nature is apologizing for that year (when was it? 94/95?) when we had 17 blizzards in a row. It got so if that week’s blizzard didn’t arrive, we got worried that something might have happened to it. ---

Missouri is pretty much Misery to me in the winter time! ---

Grew up in Colorado, now I live in Orlando. Imagine how odd the winters seem to me. I don’t need to have as much snow as I grew up with, but 1 or 2 good blizzards a year is all I ask. * * * Well, shut my mouth. It’s also illegal to put squirrels down your pants for the purposes of gambling. ---

I want snow too! I could easily get used to a year with 9 months of winter, one month each of spring, summer, and fall. Yup, that would be perfect. * * * – Teeming Millions: [http://fathom.org/teemingmillions](http://fathom.org/teemingmillions) “Meat flaps, yellow!” - DrainBead, naked co-ed Twister chat O p a l C a t [www.opalcat.com](http://www.opalcat.com) ---

I want snow too! Well, an inch or so. That would be cool. I want to have a snowball fight. I’ve never had one. I’m deprived! * * * ~Kyla “Anger is what makes America great.” ---

Kyla – I think the word you want is depraved. No? Oh, okay, then take this! (Throws a snowball the size of Al Gore’s head) And Opal? Anytime you want snow just let me know. I’m here almost everyday. Now take the 15 to … * * * Best! Byz
