I can't remember the last time it actually snowed here. Well, I think around five years ago it snowed for about ten minutes, but didn't stick. I think I was probably 12 or 13 the last time it actually snowed enough to stay on the ground long enough to attempt to make marble sized snowballs out of a 1/2" layer of icy dusting. I hope it actually snows after all this weather station hype!

I. AM. SO. EXCITED (and also freezing!) !
