It snowed Sunday night/Monday morning. Only a couple of inches, but it was coming down hard in little granules yesterday morning when I left to watch the new Harry Potter movie. There’s still some on the ground.
Sure, it’s pretty. But we have some exterior scenes to shoot, plus some pick-ups from earlier shoots. The images won’t match if there’s snow in the new footage! :mad:
Cypress Hill, I am looking in your direction.
Ooops. Sorry, guys. We’ll take it back up here. makes hand-waving motions
I’m sorry,** Johnny**. I ordered the snow. You see, since I moved to Seattle, I haven’t had snow for Christmas like I used to back home in Canada. I missed it. I prayed for it.
And it came. However, it didn’t stay, here in Seattle. My husband is going to drive me to some snow, for a nice weekend in December, up in Leavenworth. But I wanted a preview, so I ordered some.
Humblest apologies. 
sigh It’s snowing again now.
You can send it out to Santa Fe, if you’d like. I like snow. Precipitation in any form is pretty much always welcomed with open arms here (desert, and all that), and the ski folk will thank you profusely.
We’ve only gotten one measly inch so far this year.
Have you been checking out craigslist again?
I am sure it was a few dozen school kids with tests coming up.

What snow? It’s sunny over this side of the water! And warm enough that a thick sweater + tshirt will do ya.
Sorry, that was me. I think I may have screwed up the location where it should have been delivered. Lat/long is just plain confusing. You can tell them to take it back to Halifax, whatever the co-ordinates are.
What is snow? What’s a thick sweater?
Hub-- “snow” is a lot like when you drop your shave-ice, but without the lilikoi syrup.
A “sweater” is like a short, furry mumu, but for the damned.
May I use this as a sig, with proper attribution? I’m at work, and reading it caused me to burst into laughter. The sound of several people turning to see what was the matter with me was audible. (Their computer chairs squeaked.)
But of course!
I’ve gotten several chuckles from the dope today so I’m glad to contribute to the gross domestic happiness.
Thank you.
Woohoo! The snow is gone! 
Unfortunately, we can’t shoot the scenes we need until next week.
Great you sent it out East. I had 7 inches this morning to deal with.
The kids said thanks though.

Whoever ordered the snow: can you please send some my way? It’s 39º here and I’m melting.
Last week (I forget exactly which day) I was monitoring a class that was working on a hands-on computer applications assignment. The students were all concentrating on a rather complication Access assignment, and I was just wandering around answering questions as they came up.
I happened to look out the window about 20 minutes before class was over, and saw that white flakes were falling from the sky. The weather forecast had predicted possible flurries, so I wasn’t really surprised, but I announced “It’s snowing!” in what was meant to be a happy, definitely-not-concerned tone of voice. After all, nothing was sticking to the ground, and the forecast was for “flurries.”
One of the students–someone who really needed the extra 20 minutes of help on the assignment–announced that she had to leave immediately, since she wanted to make sure she could get home before the roads became impassible. I told her nothing was sticking, but she ran out the door as fast as her feet could carry her. Fifteen minutes later, the white stuff stopped falling out of the sky, the sun came out, and there was absolutely no evidence of any kind of snow.
During class today, I happened to look out the window and saw white flakes falling again. I glanced at this student (who was still working on the assignment that was due yesterday), then consciously chose not to point out the “white stuff” to the class. Given that it was over before class ended, I doubt she ever knew that it “snowed” today.
