SNOWING in NC

Folks, we're getting it!! and love it! It started around 6:30 or so. At about 9:30 we had nearly 2 inches! Here it is 12:30 a.m. and it's still coming down! Wonderful! Believe it or not, DD is out playing in it! It's her 8th birthday today and she's been happy as all getout all day, especially w/the snow prediction! The last good snow we had came in 2000, on my birthday! (JJsGarden, musta been the snow you mentioned!) And now, here it is HER BD and it comes again! Here I sit, the "shoffice" (shop/office) is a toasty 70+* with the wood stove working on some red oak, snow still coming down (DD happily playing in it), and mugs hanging by the heat warming up for some hot chocolate!
(Course now, tomorrow when I'm shoveling snow away from the sides of the greenhouse ya'll may be hearing a different perspective!)

Shoe I'm glad I'm not shoveling. Tell daughter Happy Birthday.

Hi Shoe,
I just finished reading this thread and found out how old your daughter is. What a nice birthday surprise getting to play in the snow. Save some hot chocolate for me, ok? Sounds so nice and homey there in your shop.

Oh What A Wonderful Birthday present for your daughter. It's snowing even more now and so beautiful.........vic

Vic you sound like a little kid!!! lol!! It's OK,I know where you are coming from - it is beautiful.

Happy Birthday Margaret....yes Shoe, let her see the posts!! I can just see her little face, all lit up!!

Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday dear Margaret
Happy Birthday to you

Have fun today little angel!!

Yep, Shoe, that was the Big One, around Jan. 18th. I think. So far this time, we have 9-10" on the ground and it is still coming down. Now if I can just find my snow boots, I'll go out and play and snap a few pictures. Best birthday wishes to your DD.

We are getting it here just north of Charlotte. Went out with my trusty little yard stick (my excuse to go out and play in it) and it looks like about 6 inches deep and still coming down! Great big huge flakes are falling and I am loving it!!! I am snowbound and have received a lot of seed and plant catalogs to look at while I watch the snow fall. What a wonderful way to spend the day! They say it will snow most of the day today, and again on Sunday.
LET IT SNOW, LET IT SNOW, LET IT SNOW!!!

Yee-hawww!! Shoveled snow from the sides of the g-house, it was really piled up there and pushing in on the plastic! DD is still playing in it, making an igloo! I've measured 8 inches on things around here (the trash can lids, the cars), and 2 to 4 more inches is expected this aft!
Louisa/margaret, is today your birthday? So nice to see someone else sings to themself! (Or have you been in Bert's slugbait?) ;>)
Have fun everybody, playing in the snow SnoW SNOW!!

Yes folks, welcome to the wonderful wacky work of one of my favorite Stars of the SHOW...the famous(!), the Wackiest(!), the most Giggly-est(!) of them ALL!!!..."lost-it-louisa"!!! (and the crowd roars....yayyyyyyy!!!)

Sorry MARGARET! DD's name is Alex (I'm thinking it's safe to say that here!) And right now she's thawing out her feet on the wood stove and fixing her some hot chocolate. Want some? You'll hafta come out from under that bed tho. And leave them dustballs under there!

ROFL - And I am the proud owner of new glasses!! Rubbish I say - give me back the old ones!!!! Don't let Alex thaw out her feet too long - remember the chilblains!! I do!! And yes, I'll have the hot choc, thanks!! Happy Birthday Alex!! Or is it Margaret...lol!!
