No, We have rain.
Unfortunatly for us this is the warmest January most of the older folk can remember.

Getting ready here in central Illinois. Calling for 2 to 4 inches this afternoon with another 5 to 7 tomorrow. Have to stop on the way home and get a few gallons of gas for the snow blower. For you that live way down south, that something like a lawnmower that....never mind.
I'm in the Houston area. I wish we were getting a lot of snow here. It's just so fun to watch the people who don't know how to drive on snow and ice *attempt* to do so. From a distance, of course.
It's rumored to have snowed here about 10 years ago. I was out of town at the time, so I have no direct knowledge of it though. Probably a "blanket" of snow a single snowflake thick which caused numerous wrecks.

It hasn't snowed here for at least a day or so. The sun was shining and the sky was blue this morning. It's really overcast now. We're supposed to get hit again either tonight, or tomorrow.

Sunny and in the 70's here today. Just finished smelting about 125# of roofing lead. It did snow here when my daughter was a toddler back in '76, I believe. We actually had 2-3 inches of snow on the ground here in Tampa. Stay warm.
I miss living/working in Pasadena. Down here much higher elevation, and a 100 miles away, it is in the mid 60s, no snow.

Hey....it's New Hampshire .....and it's winter.....that's what happens.
Don't like it?
Head for Florida and join all the other blue hairs.
Personally I take advantage of Winter.....I cast, load, snowshoe and hike.....

Thomas Jefferson Quotations:
"The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government."
No snow and the sun feels so good I am being lazy and sunning myself so I get my long missed dose of sunshine.
Beware of a government that fears its citizens having the means to protect themselves.

Right now, yes. Earlier it was raining, then snowing, then snowing again. We are forecast to get 4 to 7 inches of wet, heavy snow.
I forecast some lathe time and some casting.
You will learn far more at the casting, loading, and shooting bench than you ever will at a computer bench.

I feel the same way. And I've lived in Vt. my whole life. Skiers in SUV's doing 80 to get to the mountain first are entertaining. I know what the bottom side of many expensive vehicles look like.
It has hardly stopped snowing here, I must say for the first time it's becoming difficult
