Everytime it snowed was like a new and exciting gift. Like you, playing in the snow (of course I had plenty of hills to sled on :-)) eating grilled cheese and of course the famous Snow Creme are all fond Snow memories. How I miss the snow and wished we saw more. Like you, I still pray for snow too! :-)Velvetnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8821902352475716451.post-3137034731522799352009-12-19T09:34:40.546-05:002009-12-19T09:34:40.546-05:00I believe it was January 1988.

There were forecasts of snow just as Christmas break was coming to a close, so my mom sent us both back to college to beat the bad roads. We got so much snow, they delayed classes several days. My rental house had heat that was operated in the other apartment and those guys hadn't returned yet...so it was so cold. I hiked across campus and joined my sister and several other dorm folks and had a wonderful time in the snow. One of my fondest snow memories! Wish we could have gotten some this time around. It was beautiful watching the giant flakes fall from my view on the 18th floor in downtown Raleigh yesterday while it lasted though. The flakes float down magically.<br /><br />~Kathy M.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8821902352475716451.post-78105990701442964262009-12-18T22:42:30.903-05:002009-12-18T22:42:30.903-05:00I can remember many many years ago, we had a reall...I can remember many many years ago, we had a really big snow. My uncle and aunt from TEXAS were here visiting. My uncle took me and my brothers out to this abandoned road and did donuts in the snow. It was so much fun, he enjoyed it as much as us kids.Renee Ingoenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8821902352475716451.post-52391164400737986682009-12-18T08:20:08.147-05:002009-12-18T08:20:08.147-05:00There's nothing better than a snow day in NC!
...There's nothing better than a snow day in NC!<br />Several years ago, we had a snow day when Rob was on call. He had to get to the hospital, but without four wheel drive, it wasn't gonna happen. A friend with a hummer offered to take him. It may have been his favorite day on call EVER! :)<br /><br />Magic happens when it snows in NC! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
