Although there is no love lost for my hometown, Miss Monica has got me a bit nostalgic.

I MISS MISS MISS MISS MISS MISS MISS snow!!!

I miss having 2 feet of snow and still going to school.

I miss being able to go to Swain and Bristol mountain with the ease of "a day at the park." Here, you might as well overnight the trip.

I miss cul de sacs and sidewalks with snow piled up so high that neighborhood kids have a fort to play on for the whole week.

I miss waking up just in time to see the snowplow come by and uncover the road and driveways that

I miss the ability to fall on the ground and not get dirty.

Snow angels, snowmen, and snowball fights.

Sledding, especially with big black inner tubes. Down what we called "Suicide Hill" in some neighborhood park whose name I've forgotten (but I remember that hill, dammit!).

Evening time, heavy snowfall coming down, street lights on, and it's absolutely silent all around you.

Giant icicles hanging from the drainpipes. Knock 'em all down in one fell swoop, and then break 'em all against trash cans, railings, etc.

Here's what a real White Christmas is all about. . . .





Enh, this one didn't quite paste into the journal like I wanted it to. Go check 'em in my pics section for the full winter wonderland effect.
