Personally I would prefer snow.

Yep, me too.

I love snow and winter. I know, not a popular opinion. I still get excited when it's supposed to snow (just like a kid!) and have trouble sleeping. I keep getting up to look out the window.

I got up early and ran in it today. Had a blast!

Dopey me, went to bed at 1 listened to the wind howling and got up at 4 to check it out. Why? It is not like it would be gone two hours later. Got up at 7 for good. Dug out a path for the pooch and then did the usual house stuff. Later, I went out to knock the snow off the shrubs. DH would be a snow bird. Not me. Snow mesmerizes me. We are not going to starve here so the grocery shopping can wait.

It was so stark at 4 am and the white snow made it bright and so quiet. You could hear the snow hitting the side of the house. In fact it was so windy here that every window looked like we had a snow ball fight in front of all of them and the snow was plastered on the glass. Really eerily pretty.

Not a very big deal here in Kent County, not like the blizzards in the 70's-80's, which were fun times getting snowed in. It was a great excuse for our kids and their friends to have band practice in our basement (8-10 teenagers) which sometimes lasted 3 days! (found out years later they planned those)

We didn't have any howling winds which were predicted this time, either. I kept waiting.... Maybe they'll show up today??? All and all, in Kent County, it wasn't a huge event.

Nuts--I find snow fascinating as well. Honestly, I wouldn't mind living somewhere like Vermont. Not hubs though--he is like your husband and would like to be a snowbird.

rdlr--I do remember those blizzards!!! Funny, a foot of snow is a huge deal now where it was the norm when I was a kid. I can remember being snowed in for a week and there wasn't a plow to be seen for days when we lived in Oak Orchard.

Liz, I am an admitted weather freak. Not the normal every day weather, rather Hurricanes and Snow storms. I start flipping around to see who comes closest to the actual totals and which channel had the best coverage. I always fall back to NOAA.gov. They are generally pretty accurate. This time the weather channel initially had Rehoboth at 6 -10, then 8 - 12, then it stayed at 1 -3 all while they were showing us in Blizzard conditions. Silly me, I watched Boston Harbor fill in with snow during the night. So pretty and fascinating. We too had bad storms on LI when I grew up. I was always just a head on top of a snow pile. For some reason my mom took pictures of the snow and us and we were generally hidden.
