Beautiful Sunday morning, snow falling gently, pot o’tea and the SDMB running at full speed. What could be more peaceful? “Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow…” And [piffle](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=107223) to those anti-snow grinches in the Pit! [Piffle,](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=107876) I say! ---

At 7:30 when I got up we had us a regular old blizzard type snowstorm goin’ Got an inch & 1/2 or so… But by the time we headed to church at 10:30 it had changed to rain and now its all gone again. I guess snowmobiling in April is too much to hope for; at least here at the 45 parallel. Now if I could convince Mrs. Kamikazee to move farther North… hmmmmm. Gotta work on that. ---

More fluffy snow overnight. It’s just so peaceful out there (with me inside, of course). 🆒 ---

Darn, wish it would snow where I live ☹ Oh well, we are having a pretty cool thunderstorm tonight - guess I can’t really complain. ---

God damn snow. Its May already! It’s not supposed to be _sticking_. I looked out my deck door 2 days ago and saw 5 pairs of Trumpeter Swans in a pond behind my house. I’ll bet they’re really happy to be back, too. [sub]grumble, grumble…[/sub] ---

Color me jealous. Winter’s my favorite season–you can never have too much snow, I say! This from the girl who was psyched to go to Buffalo this winter when they had seven feet. 🙂 ---

I miss snow as well. After living in Wyoming for 5 years… well, it just becomes part of ya. Used to sit in the car before work at 430am, listening to the snow crystals hitting the car… Ah - so peaceful. Now I live in the East Midlands (UK) and don’t get as much snow as I’d love. Who’s up for snow-cream?? 🙂 You remember - huge bowl of snow, dash of milk, either vanilla or chocolate milk stuff, and a bit of sugar to taste. Give it a stir and grab the spoons… Enjoy the peace and quiet. ---

I wish I’d been in Buffalo during the big blizzard last Christmas; this winter we had exactly ONE day with snow - and it turned to rain after a few hours. ---

Oh nothing like waking up on Sunday morning and seeing a bit of snow in the garden…and going into the shower and having it melt. Snow in May is a bit excessive, but it’s the temps running 20 degrees below normal that’s getting me down. Bleh… ---

**dono** , I spent 6 months working for Grand Teton Park at Colter Bay. When my contract ended I moved to Jackson Hole, where I spent just over a year. From there I moved back up to just east of Moran (entrance to Grand Teton National Park) to Buffalo Valley where I lived for about another year. Then… off again… moved across state to Cheyenne where I lived for about 2 1/2 years. In Buffalo Valley there was about 4’ of snow that winter. When the drive was scraped it was placed next to the house so the drift was over 8’ deep. I **loved** it! True it was often -30 degrees, but the skiing was wonderful and I loved the cold and snow. Cheyenne didn’t get as much snow but it did get quite cold. ---

**Washte** –how did you like Jackson? What did you do there? I went there last spring break with about 200 other students from my school. I had a blast, and in fact, one of my friends is trying to convince me to go be a ski-bum there for a year after I graduate. ---

**easy e** rather than hijack the thread, i sent you an e-mail regarding Jackson. Good luck. Washte
