This Is Sacrilege!

I think there's something subtly creepy about snow. Something about the quiet of snowfall and the thick ground covering hiding the unknown. Plus you can spray red coloring on snow and make it look like a bloody massacre.

it's also fun to put a balloon filled with red dye inside a snowmans head then shoot it with a BB gun

You do that?

[Wicker Man]

Seriously? You do that shoot that snowmans head?

That's the way they use it in that vampire movie, Let the Right One In, I believe.

We rarely have a white Christmas in the South. Last year we did--son & I went to church at midnight, came out and it was snowing. Everything was already white. Seemed like magic to us because it happens so rarely here.

yeah I did it when I was a kid, it's pretty cool

I've seen blood drippings on the snow around here so I followed the path to see where.... it was dead deer. I believe that deer may be hit by a car.

IT COULD HAVE BEEN THE LOCH NESS MONSTER!!!

That is awesome. I have to try that someday!

Well here it is, 3 days after Christmas Day, and not one snow flake has fallen. Just wait. We'll get 8 or 9 feet of snow in Jan or Feb, when the snow is just an inconvenience and not "Christmassy." Nothing beats Post Christmas Winter boredom like several hours of shoveling snow after a long hard day's work. (sarcastic smirk)

I would love to see some snow this winter, but we don't always get it. Last year was awesome. We actually got snow on Christmas Eve! We left church at midnight, and it was snowing!

A few years ago, we had a white Christmas. Snow is not really a common winter thing in the Dallas area, but we are usually good for at least one "snow event" every year. Usually doesn't happen until January or February though. About four years ago, I remember it actually snowed a little bit towards the end of March! Warmed right back up after a few days though. Dallas weather is very much like a roller coaster (except during the summer).

I believe we had snow on March 31st back in 2009. Pretty substantial snow, too, about 8 inches. It was delightful, but then we had a heller spring with the tornadoes, including one very lethal and terrifying one on Good Friday that year. So I am not a fan of those late-winter snows around here.

We get some pretty scary storms around here in the spring as well. We had a terrible one a few years ago where entire trees were on their sides. I had to drive around them just to get to work. I called my boyfriend the next morning to check on him because his area was in one of the harder hit areas and he was like "we had a storm last night?" He managed to sleep through the whole thing!

Does he live at trailer parks because those are destroyed by a lot of tornados and storms for sure. Stay safe for winter everyone.

Last spring, when the terrible tornadoes hit down in Alabama, we had a milder one here. Yet trees were down all over the place, including some in my own yard. It didn't destroy houses (except for the ones the trees fell on), so it was classified as an EF-0.

The one that came through on Good Friday '09 was classified an EF-4 or -5, I think. It killed only one woman and her baby, but the destruction to homes, trees, etc., was epic. The whole town was shut down (I mean, no traffic in or out) for a couple of days.

Tornadoes terrify me, but I have never lived anywhere that wasn't subject to them. I have heard that my home state of Mississippi actually has more of them, statistically, than anywhere else. I have also lived in TX, GA, & VA, and have spent many months of my life in AR, where I have lots of relatives. And here in TN, of course. They even invade my nightmares.

We see most of our tornado action during Summer time. In June of 10, a tornado tore through our local trailor park and a couple of people were killed.

As for a "White Christms," is concerned, I'm afraid the only thing "white" about it was the white stripes on the peppermint stick the priest handed out after Mass last Sunday. It was actualy nice enough to go for a motorcycle ride last Thursday, but right now the wind has picked up, and it's drizzling out side and 39 degrees.
