The first snow of the Year...

[MrPrez]

I cant wait for the first snow fall here in Chicago. Although everyone on the road drives like their 14, it will be nice to see the ground covered with it.

Oh, has anyone else noticed that at night, if it's snowing, how god awfully quiet it is? Just came to me and I think it's just cool, no pun intended.

There's nothing like skiing in the north woods, hearing nothing but your skis, and if you stop, it's completely silent.

It's the same here in rural Wales, except you don't even hear your skis as there is no snow yet (but you are always close to where you parked your car).

The icebergs are melting.
Thank goodness we can make "snow" in certain ski slopes. I don't ski (nor drive 4x4s either) so I don't give a hoot....but goes to show you where we are heading.
I could use a good snowball fight in Paris though.

You're on. Name the date (GMT of course, not that Parisian bollocks about Prime Time).

Yes...but I need the snow! That's the deal. You bring some and you're on. Your time. Cheers.

How many degrees is it in Paris? Don't you already have some snow?

[reed]

you must be kidding Ferdinand.

We're in November. Maybe in January or February. Again, maybe. I haven't had a real snowball fight since I've been in Paris. SIGH.
