Does anybody else have fond memories of the wolf diorama in the Hall of North American Mammals at the American Museum of Natural History in New York? Gunflint Lake, Minnesota, aurora borealis casting its eerie light across the frozen lake, a Great Grey Owl peering down from its leafless perch, and two wolves dashing across the ice in pursuit of a deer that we can't see but whose tracks are in the snow.

Man, that's primal winter.

Mary,

Sounds like only a few miles north of home. Thanks for the powerful images.

In Utah, as a kid I remember some way nice storms. The streets would be continously plowed but still not enough to get all the snow off them. Walking back and forth to elementary school there were mounds of snow a good 3 feet tall from the constant plowing. Anymore I think there is too many people here and it's warmed and changed our climate. Most of our winters are relatively mild anymore.
The great thing about living here is that there are 4 seasons. (8 if you talk to some of the meteorologists.)
We have the best of both worlds here really. If we have a mild winter in the valley it's only a 20 or 30 minute ride up the canyon for 10 plus feet of snow in the resorts. A little bit for the snow hater and the snow lover. A couple hundred miles south and you have a nice warm 60 to 70 degress.
I love the brutal snows....snow me in...I'd love it. I think it's great to have to get all bundled up and go clear the driveway with the snow blower or even help the neighbors with theirs..
There is also nothing like the quiet of a fresh snow storm... how it changes the acoustics and you can hear some of the slightest things from pretty far away. Particularly the sound of the chain link fence closing at my mom and dads house.
There is nothing more enjoyable than looking out the window at a fresh, untouched blanket of snow covering the road and trees and yards. Sipping that morning cup of coffee, a fire at one end of the room, and watching as the flakes silently drift to the ground.

[Well, I've been in your neck-o-the woods the last few days (DFW) and we got a little. ]

Tom,

DFW is a bit away from David in Austin, and about 5 hours from us here in Beaumont/Port Arthur, so we haven't seen any of the white stuff- at least not yet. BUUT, ( and I'm not speaking for David- allthough he MIGHT agree with me) in THIS part of Texas we don't even CLAIM the DFW area !!! LOL LOL

Just kidding.( But NOT Kidding to Cowboy Fans- GO HOUSTON TEXANS !!!- DAVE DEHART help me out here-where are you !!!!!)

BTW- I spent almost a year in KY( Ft Campbell area) and the weekend before I left, I went up to Lexington- It looked like something off of a Postcard. Absolutely BEAUTIFUL! You live in a Magnificent part of the country!

Take care,

Don[/quote]

I am in hog heaven! As a lover of cold and snow, there's plenty of each in Chicago tonight. It took about 30 minutes for my shuttle bus to get to my rental car pick-up spot, and since I knew it wasn't going to get below zero while I'm here, I didn't bother with a coat.

Oh, it was wonderful, standing out in the chill in just my shirt and pants (well, and shoes and socks) for that half-hour. Just fabby!

Yeah-- I was just in Florida and when I got back to Boston, I could see my breath as I waitied for the coach bus to Portsmouth.
I just had a tank top and a satin jacket and it felt great after all the 80-degree days.

I do not miss snow at all. Cold wet toes, icy windhsields, slipping and falling, heavy coats, gloves and boots. A little cool weather I can handle, the snow here isonly in the moutnains. That is close enough for me. I remember my feet being cold all winter in Illinois where I grew up. So here are Courvo and I, both from Illinois out here in the warm west - go figure.
