Funny thing that you should mention snow!  If you would like some snow just
come up to Iowa (if you can get here <g>), we are getting pounded with a
major winter storm.  The wind chill is -35 and we are forecasted to get 7 -
10 inches of snow.  Everything in Cedar Rapids is shut down and even my
heated water buckets are not keeping up with the cold & blowing snow.  The
dogs look like snow monsters, they have ice & snow hanging off all of their
whiskers! Of course they are still going out in the beautiful (if you are a
Pyrenees) weather, but they are choosing to stay in the kennel building most
of the time.

Stay warm & batten down your hatches if you are in the line of this storm!
Of course if the storm is already there - just make yourself some hot
chocolate & take a nap -- maybe it will be all over when you wake up :-)
