	Frances	My fav thing to do is to curl up with a blanket and get online, drink cocoa, watch tv, etc... The normal stuff! I would be screwed without power though! I am such a city gal lol!   Posted by Frances on December 16, 2008 - Tuesday - 5:36 PM [Reply to this]

	* Christy Lou Who * Christina Tolentino	we lost power during the Little Ice Age 2 years ago - it was out for 6 days - I cannot function without power here... nope, uh huh... if I wanted that, I'd go camping ;-)   Posted by * Christy Lou Who * on December 17, 2008 - Wednesday - 3:15 AM [Reply to this]

	Willow Bobbi Kilbarger	I definitely go for the whole "keep warm" idea. Comfy blanket, hot cocoa with plenty of marshmallows, fireplace DVD going on the TV (what? I have a good imagination to make me believe that it makes the house warmer)... Pretty much stay inside where it's safe and warm. I'm enough of a clutz on dry land, it's just cruel to send me out when the ground is covered in wet snow, or even worse- ice!   Posted by Willow on December 16, 2008 - Tuesday - 6:13 PM [Reply to this]

	* Christy Lou Who * Christina Tolentino	My half wants to go ice skating which is cracking me up since he's never tried it - I have and I spent more time on the ice on my butt then skating, I blame the ice skates, I should have gotten hockey skates, no toe pick! Luckily we had no major ice build up and the snow calmed down nicely. Yahhhh.   Posted by * Christy Lou Who * on December 17, 2008 - Wednesday - 3:16 AM [Reply to this]

	Jeff 411>911	(outside)I like to ski, horseback riding, and if I get the chance - I have been known to throw a snowball or two. (inside) Well anything by the fire is good for me.   Posted by Jeff 411>911 on December 16, 2008 - Tuesday - 6:13 PM [Reply to this]

	* Christy Lou Who * Christina Tolentino	I make snow blobs... they never turn out orb-ish... I must be snowballed challenged. I miss having a fireplace - my parents had one when I lived in California, which made me laugh, you don't really need one there, but the atmosphere is nice =)   Posted by * Christy Lou Who * on December 17, 2008 - Wednesday - 3:17 AM [Reply to this]

	Samira	Hi Christy. It is snowing here also. Ugh! I am sick today too. Double Ugh! When it snows my favorite thing to do is stay inside. I love to look at it (thru the window) but hate to be out in it. It's too cold and wet. <3   Posted by Samira on December 16, 2008 - Tuesday - 6:57 PM [Reply to this]

	* Christy Lou Who * Christina Tolentino	Looking thru the window was nice today - too chilly cold to be out in it. I hope you feel much better!! <3 U   Posted by * Christy Lou Who * on December 17, 2008 - Wednesday - 3:18 AM [Reply to this]

	Nadine	We have had a few inches of snow the past couple of days here. I'm just waiting for my son to get over his cold so we can have a snowball fight and maybe make a snow person. Then have some hot cocoa when we get done.   Posted by Nadine on December 16, 2008 - Tuesday - 8:29 PM [Reply to this]

	* Christy Lou Who * Christina Tolentino	I was hoping for enough to make a snowman, since I've never done it -but it stopped after a few hours... it's already starting to melt too... no snowballs, maybe snowmush!   Posted by * Christy Lou Who * on December 17, 2008 - Wednesday - 3:18 AM [Reply to this]

	Melanie Melanie King	Stay inside and curl up with a book. I am NOT a cold weather person.   Posted by Melanie on December 16, 2008 - Tuesday - 8:57 PM [Reply to this]

	* Christy Lou Who * Christina Tolentino	I like cold weather clothes but only if I can look cute in them without having to be cold *lol* Yeah, you can tell I grew up in Southern California! Anytime is a good time for books =D   Posted by * Christy Lou Who * on December 17, 2008 - Wednesday - 3:19 AM [Reply to this]

	Lady Shane	I live on the coast and hearing about a salt shortage is absurd. Why don't they desalinate the ocean? We can use the fresh water for consumption/crops and the remaining salt for the roads. Coastal states could sell it to the interior states. Or maybe the interior states could trade us salt for sand. They say we have a sand shortage. We could take it from the beaches, but the tourists would complain come Fourth of July. I like the snow, actually. I just hate losing power. This pic reminded me of you:   Posted by Lady Shane on December 16, 2008 - Tuesday - 9:14 PM [Reply to this]

	* Christy Lou Who * Christina Tolentino	I LOVE that picture, might use it as a avatar <3 Salt is so abundant, I cannot fathom how we have a shortage - it just doesn't compute!   Posted by * Christy Lou Who * on December 17, 2008 - Wednesday - 3:20 AM [Reply to this]

	Noble Child	*teehee!* That was funny & entertaining as usual--thank you! "Family Guy" is my current fave cartoon--good for kids to watch that stay inside on snowy days, eh? :) My favorite thing to do on snowy days is to relish in unwarranted praise.... On snowy days like today we get congratulated for coming to work a half hour late. Then I drink hot cocoa/coffees all day long. It's not a bad way to spend a day! Hugs & Love, T.   Posted by Noble Child on December 16, 2008 - Tuesday - 9:44 PM [Reply to this]

	* Christy Lou Who * Christina Tolentino	Never a bad way to spend the day!! That is one of my fav Family Guy segments - Ollie is just hysterical in his reports =) MUAH <3   Posted by * Christy Lou Who * on December 17, 2008 - Wednesday - 3:21 AM [Reply to this]

	Angels4theMissing	My grand daughter and I still make a snow angel here and there. Otherwise I like to curl up on the sofa with my comforter (they really do comfort me) and hot coffee. It snowed a little here but not enough to do anything. We had some BIG flakes...never saw them so big..........maybe a white Christmas????????? Happy snow day to you.   Posted by Angels4theMissing on December 16, 2008 - Tuesday - 10:17 PM [Reply to this]

	* Christy Lou Who * Christina Tolentino	My fav comforter, a Little Mermaid one I have had since I was 22? Whenever the movie came out, is still around but thinning badly - I want one of those fluffy fleece ones that I can get lost in. that would be very comforting! Hugs you big <3   Posted by * Christy Lou Who * on December 17, 2008 - Wednesday - 3:21 AM [Reply to this]

	* Christy Lou Who * Christina Tolentino	How awesome is that? I need to mosey over to see a snow cat! I can't mold anything out of snow LOL   Posted by * Christy Lou Who * on December 17, 2008 - Wednesday - 3:22 AM [Reply to this]

	Chris	I tend to stay in when there's snow if I can. You can keep all you got, I'll just stay down here where it's warm. ;-) <3   Posted by Chris on December 17, 2008 - Wednesday - 12:18 AM [Reply to this]

	* Christy Lou Who * Christina Tolentino	Gives you a raspberry :-P It went up to where you used to live, I think - it stalled in Kentucky! Yah =) <3 U Stay warm   Posted by * Christy Lou Who * on December 17, 2008 - Wednesday - 3:23 AM [Reply to this]

	Windy Beach Windy Beach	"I am camping on the sofa and creating a sphere of happy warmth!" Uhhhh...that's different from other days how?? haha And salt is like the most abundant goddamned mineral on the planet...wtf?   Posted by Windy Beach on December 17, 2008 - Wednesday - 12:39 AM [Reply to this]

	* Christy Lou Who * Christina Tolentino	If you had said that in your own voice, I'd be snarky at you - since you used The Beach, I'll scritch you instead.   Posted by * Christy Lou Who * on December 17, 2008 - Wednesday - 3:23 AM [Reply to this]

	bert bert russell	Snow? What's snow? It's almost 65 degrees here. But, wet and nasty. Does it ever get below freezing up there? Whoooo hoo.   Posted by bert on December 17, 2008 - Wednesday - 1:22 AM [Reply to this]

	* Christy Lou Who * Christina Tolentino	Once in awhile it goes below but not often.... the coldest is usually in the teens with wind chill taking it down.... 65 is a nice memory of a So Cal winter!   Posted by * Christy Lou Who * on December 17, 2008 - Wednesday - 3:24 AM [Reply to this]

	The Quiet Storm	That was fun! I am a native New Yorker, currently in Virginia so I am having some serious snow withdrawls. Yes, it makes for nasty weather and crazy drivers, but it just doesn't feel the same without a white Christmas! Here, when it does snow, it looks like baby powder sprinkled on the pavement and Holy Toledo, they've got to shut down ever school, business, etc...!! {I'm not joking either!} When I do have snow, the best thing ever is watching my children play in it! I relive my youth and create wonderful wintery memories for them. ~TQS~   Posted by The Quiet Storm on December 17, 2008 - Wednesday - 3:01 AM [Reply to this]

	* Christy Lou Who * Christina Tolentino	I lived in Boston for 3 years or so and my first winter I thought I would freeze... waiting for the trains and subways in the early morning during a nor-easter was painful... My coat was so big and thick no one could see me in it. 12 feet of snow got to be "normal." Then I moved to Ohio and giggled at the school closings for a few inches - but then, I don't think they could drive in anything more =)   Posted by * Christy Lou Who * on December 17, 2008 - Wednesday - 3:25 AM [Reply to this]

	Яαђк¥†	it's pretty cold here in san antonio, snowed in houston to the east, and a bit northwest of us in the past few days. i remain down here to get away from the snow. y'all can have it! :)   Posted by Яαђк¥† on December 17, 2008 - Wednesday - 4:29 AM [Reply to this]

	* Christy Lou Who * Christina Tolentino	I like it for all about 10 minutes - or if I don't have to go out in it... I miss the lack of hassle living in California! It's pretty but it's a pain too =) Sure ya don't want a little?   Posted by * Christy Lou Who * on December 17, 2008 - Wednesday - 5:05 AM [Reply to this]

	Lou	I like to sleep late when it's snowy and cold. Otherwise, there's not much I like about snow or cold. Maybe a fire in the fireplace and some nice spaghetti. I'm holding out for global warming. ;-) I guess growing up in Cincy I enjoyed the snow. Now that's ancient history.   Posted by Lou on December 17, 2008 - Wednesday - 4:36 AM [Reply to this]

	* Christy Lou Who * Christina Tolentino	They keep speaking of this Global Warming... I have yet to see any of it *lol* When it's like this, it stays so dark I dislike getting up - sleeping in and staying warm is lovely!   Posted by * Christy Lou Who * on December 17, 2008 - Wednesday - 5:05 AM [Reply to this]

	Loveswithspirit™ Michael Lawhorn	My favorite snow is the snow on the tv when there is no reception. It reminds me how greatful I am for Hi def. Cable   Posted by Loveswithspirit™ on December 17, 2008 - Wednesday - 3:57 PM [Reply to this]

	* Christy Lou Who * Christina Tolentino	reminds me of Poltergeist - "they're heeeereeee" *lol*   Posted by * Christy Lou Who * on December 17, 2008 - Wednesday - 5:38 PM [Reply to this]

	seeturtle	1) Blazing fireplace 2) Chicken soup 3) Hot toddies 4) Warm bodies ** In whatever order is most enjoyable....   Posted by seeturtle on December 17, 2008 - Wednesday - 3:58 PM [Reply to this]

	* Christy Lou Who * Christina Tolentino	are hot toddies anything that involve heated rum? Kinda like grog but cozier? I am not sure I've had one... I do like warmed up apple cider and rum mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm   Posted by * Christy Lou Who * on December 17, 2008 - Wednesday - 5:39 PM [Reply to this]

	Thomas Thomas Poirier	Christy - Oh, I am SOOO with you on this! Been back at my home in New Hampshire - and if anyone puts on the song "Let it Snow" - the frigging album is going out the window with whoever put it on! Winters not even here yet, and I already want it to leave. Took me 4 hours this AM to drive what normally is 1 hour. The power is still out for 100,000 + in New Hampshire, and we have 2 big storms on our doorstep (Friday and Sunday). Ahhh, well ... I guess my favorite thing to do when it snows out is either go skiing (downhill or x-country), or curl up next to the fire with a good book (or a warm body). Best, Tom   Posted by Thomas on December 18, 2008 - Thursday - 2:01 AM [Reply to this]

	* Christy Lou Who * Christina Tolentino	we are all getting slammed with that storm system... thankfully the wind stopped but I am done with snow for the season! Guess it's a good time to catch up with reading and being warm inside =D   Posted by * Christy Lou Who * on December 23, 2008 - Tuesday - 2:14 AM [Reply to this]

	ALEISTER'S SON	Besides snuggling of course, playing in the snow, but only if it's the packing type. With the cold keeping you indoors mostly for the winter the snow is to me a sign really to get out and enjoy the elements.I mean it cant snow when its too cold or too warm, I dont know the exact temps, but it really is like nature is telling you to get out and enjoy the beauty she has served up. If you dress for the weather, there is NO limit to the things you can do in the snow!*Evil Grin* Brant (Winter Warlock)   Posted by ALEISTER'S SON on December 18, 2008 - Thursday - 8:17 PM [Reply to this]

	* Christy Lou Who * Christina Tolentino	I don't even want to contemplate going out right now... single digits with neg wind chill is not fun in any way shape or form LOL   Posted by * Christy Lou Who * on December 23, 2008 - Tuesday - 2:15 AM [Reply to this]

	EMPRESS	I am trying to give this winter my best shot ... failing miserably. It's WHY i moved to SoCal 20 years ago. Last winter it was novelty because I had just arrived back to the midwest and I was working "at home" until February, so Spring was around the corner. This year much different. I am out in it every day and I'm not liking it one bit. So my favorite thing to do when it snows is to "get out of it as soon as possible." Trouble with the relocating thing is I don't really like California anymore, so I won't be going back there! And if I can't take the winters after a few years, I guess I will have to go to the Caribbean and drink rum with Rastas.   Posted by EMPRESS on December 19, 2008 - Friday - 1:49 AM [Reply to this]

	* Christy Lou Who * Christina Tolentino	I do miss California but not to live there... maybe a visit - but these winters are harsh! Global warming my butt *lol* Hands you a rum drink =D   Posted by * Christy Lou Who * on December 23, 2008 - Tuesday - 2:16 AM [Reply to this]

	bert bert russell	Man, send some of that stuff our way. It's a balmy 62 degrees here. Yuk.   Posted by bert on December 19, 2008 - Friday - 9:25 PM [Reply to this]

	* Christy Lou Who * Christina Tolentino	we are negative 1 right now.... you sure you want that? ;-)   Posted by * Christy Lou Who * on December 23, 2008 - Tuesday - 2:13 AM [Reply to this]
