<: I know everyone will think I'm insane but after living in the south for 3 years (Kentucky) I am back in eastern Iowa for Christmas and we have SNOW!! It's awesome. These photos were actually taken before the end of the day -- now we have another several inches on top of it.

I love it! :happydance01:

I discovered today that my car has an indicator that lights up on the dashboard when the car goes into a skid on ice. It lights up neon orange just to the left of the speedometer as the outline of a car with curvy skid marks behind it. Useful! As my car was catapulting sideways this evening into oncoming traffic and towards the opposite ditch while I frantically tried to correct it, I was definitely glad to have that indicator light tell me that the car was sliding. 8/ :twirlingeyes: lol

Oh well.

I almost brought my detector along on this trip. As much fun as that would have been, it wasn't meant to be. Maybe in a few months.

Happy holidays everyone :)
 
ah :shocked04: look at all that white stuff , you can keep it :yes: lol lol . right now theres no snow here in Connecticut and its not to cold , it kind of reminds me of a Phoenix , Arizona Christmas as a kid . nice pictures though Angie and as for the car indicator lights go , we use to call those dummy lights because if you need them to tell you your car is skidding or low on oil or your engine is overheating after the fact well your a dummy. lol lol lol i think the engineers were bored and needed something extra to do to justify the extra 8 grand price tag lol lol i'm sure in the near future they will have a lighted car falling off a cliff indicator or a lighted car engulfed in flames indicator lol lol lol the problem with these all is its always a little too late when they come on . please be careful out there Angie .

We have always called them idiot lights. I thought the car skidding one really won the prize for idiocy lol I couldn't believe it. I actually was laughing as I was trying not to wreck my car rofl

My car is in PERFECT condition! lol The idiot light saved me rofl

I don't think I can push Angel for 2000. :shocked04: I might get killed. :shocked04: It sounds like he is bailing out of the silver count next year to focus on a diversity of finds :grin: :yes: I may have to put the whip away. :yes:

I wish you a very white -- as in twelve or fifteen inches white -- Christmas George lol
 
Nice pictures Angie! Can I detect around the house in the 1st pic? :grin: Snow is nice to look at, but thats about it. I prefer nice sunny days. thumbsup01 These are pics from last year around this time. Merry Christmas, Enjoy the snow and drive safe!

My pleasure lol rofl :frozen: :frozen:
 
This picture of my house was taken on 12/07/10. During the first two weeks of December we received around 80. Total so far this month is 89. I live in the snow belt south east of Erie, PA and Lake Erie. We get around 150 a year, we may beat that average this year. I still love the snow.

Cool, Schrecky!!

I still love the snow :) I have to say that after today, I am reminded of the reasons why I don't like it so much. I got my car stuck in a snowbank this afternooon and my stepfather and two sons had to come and push me out. :cheesysmile:

I took a photo of my car stuck in the snowbank but I'm not going to post it lol
 
Great pics there Angie! I'm south of Iowa City about an hour,,,,only 4 here. I too like the snow,,,that's why I live in Iowa,,,the change of seasons is great!!

Hey Steve,,,,,you look WAY younger than you used to,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
