[Coco] some snow

[Chris Spry]

I know how that is here.  I live in Washington State and I remember when I was a kid it snowed every year and would be around for at least a few days sometimes weeks....but in the last 15 or so years it's been very scarce.  We might get one day of it and it is gone in less than a day and that is our snow for the year.  It sucks cause I like the snow as long as I don't have to drive in it.  So far, none this year and no plans for it in our forecast in the near future.

    As another Aussie, I find it quite strange , all this talk about snow
    & ice ...... geez, I don't even see that in the peek of winter unless
    I take a 3 hour drive to one of the alpine nation parks.  Right now
    the SPF30+ sun screen is getting a workout like it's going out of
    style! 

  My feet are cold right now, and I've got the heat on high.

  But you know, many would give a lot to have sunny weather all year long.  The Aussie style is something a lot of us envy.

  We have some terrible seasons up here.  On the other hand, without a variety we would get bored.  It also reminds us that mother nature rules and that we're very little.  The tradition of a "white Christmas" is not seen by everybody in the U.S.... in fact, it is rare to most.  It's sort of a hopeful thing, and when it does happen, well... we feel very good about it, and also watching our kids see snow fall for the first time and ask, "what is this stuff?".  Building snowmen, going for dangerous snow-rides on rubber mats down steep hills, etc., or being dragged by a rope connected to a platform that seats about 4, just to name a *few* activities.
