That would be fun! Who else besides Jolene is from MN?
Adrienne plays the SIM too I think.

Jackie and I already have our own gatherings at CBY. LOL
LOL, Yes we do!

I had no idea Adrienne played the sim too! I told her about it once but I never knew if she played. Does she go by a different name? If that's the case I've had gatherings with her too in the test barn :)

Eric, It's cool you lived in Woodbury!

Isn't it possible to get too cold to snow? My sister lived in Edmonton for 2 years, and sometimes when she talked about it getting really cold, she'd say "well, at least it's too cold to worry about snow"

The colder it is, the less moisture the air holds, so yes, eventually it can get cold enough that it doesn't really snow.

That's why Iceland has TONS of snow; it stays just below freezing all winter (read: 3/4 of the year) so the air's still warm enough to hold plenty of moisture. Bah.

Plus the coldest nights are the ones that are clear and not cloudy. The earths warmth escapes more quickly from the atmosphere. And what Ara said about moisture. LOL

We got our first snow today!!!! weeeeee! I can't tell how deep it is- but I would guess almost 2 inches! (Hey, that's a big deal down here!)

School is on a 2 hour delay, but I bet they will cancel it because it is still just coming down!

I'm going to go play in the snow! YAY snow! :D

I live in East Central Saskatchewan were the sun is shinning :o and the wind is blowing :ph34r: at speed up to 60 kilometers per hour and the tempeture is at minus 25c which give a wind chill of minus 37c :ph34r: the weatherman is predicting it will stay this way for the next 2 weeks. :angry: This is one of the reasons that the population of Arizona almost doubles from December to April each year. Sure wish I could afford to go.

Ron :D
