We didn't get it too bad where I am, but northern Illinois got upwards of 15"; they said it was falling at 2 inches an hour!

I wish it would snow here. You are lucky to just get a little bit.

I like snow until about New Years...then it's more of an annoyance! Itdoes give more of the Christmas feeling though. I lived in Florida for11 years after living in Illinois for 8, and it felt weird not to havesnow on Christmas and to put lights on palm trees. The only upside downSouth is that you get to decorate outside w/out freezing your buttoff!

BTW, last week it flurried in Orlando FL, but it was 65 degrees on Thanksgiving in Chicago! :shock:

We were orginally supposed to get a few inchesof snow today. However, that did not happen as yesterday we got rainthat flooded some fields. Today we have 60 mph winds that have knockeddown powerlines, up rooted trees, and even took bark off the neighbor'strees. :shock:

I wish it would snow here too, but I don't think I could stand the cold.

For example, this week it has been in the 40s. I've beenfreezing at school. We're such whimps, but seriously, trywearing a skirt like this in weather this cold and windy!

Ohh yeah,people decorate their homes with lights and decorations,someof those houses look spectacular,i think that is the best part aboutchristmas,the streets come alive and everything looks so pretty..idon't decorate my front yard or anything,i just hang tinsel everywherearound inside the house

Also now that it is day light saving,it doesn't start togetdark until about 9:00pm,the best time to have a look at all thosewonderful displaysis about 10:00pm

People turn their lights on just as it gets dark
