Today is the first day we have gotten snow, I'm looking out the window now and wondering do I need any last minute itmes, and wondering about work tommorrow. I can't drive in the snow one bit so now I'm really under the weather.
I know there are alot of people that love snow, and I know there are probably alot of people that feel like I do...
What are some of the things you do when it's snowing outside and don't want to get out in it?
Looks like I'm here posting on MYLOT for starters....I refuse to go out in it.... (smiles)

We just got more snow here in Missouri, as well, yesterday and last night. It pretty much keeps our family from getting out, as well, so I see it as quite the nuisance and I really don't enjoy it. I would love living somewhere where it never snows, even though you would have to drag me away from Missouri because this is where I have always lived and I do love it here so much.
I agree with you about posting here on Mylot being something that i do when the snow is keeping me indoors. Although I would be here posting to one extent or another, anyway. I can also spend more time catching up on tv shows that I have gotten behind on, or maybe read a book, if I can find one already around the house that i haven't read.

I dont worry about driving in the snow as I am use to it and was raised in the snow. my fear is where I currently live they dont get a lot of snow and nobody knows how to drive in it so I worry about the other driver causing problems for me. If I can I stay home, but tomorrow morning I have to go to work.

Today we had our first snowfall as well though not enough to stick to the roads or accumulate. It was pretty to watch as always and I hear we may get more later this week. I enjoy watching the snow and standing out there and admiring the view. If it is heavy, I will go out and put salt down and clear a path so my front door does not get blocked. I also prepare tea or hot chocolate.

We just got our first snow too. Its been snowing/sleeting all day. We only have a bit of accumulation on the ground, but its supposed to keep snowing and raining freezing sleet all night so I hope we don't have classes tomorrow. I love snow, its so pretty when its untouched.

I understand that. I guess because I can't drive it in, I feel like I can't go anywhere just at home feeling helpless and can't go anywhere...because I can't drive in it...lol

We finally got snow to and I hate it. I have to go out and shovel and then I sit in the house and work on the computer. I would just like to stay in the house when it snows. I think I need to move.LOL
Sometimes its not so bad but we got alot of it in one night. Now it seems like it snows every night.

Same as I will do, When I did live down south and it rained, I was able to move a bit, I can drive in rain...But sometimes rainy days just don't want to do anything...stay home and do things in the house...I'm with you on that...thank you for responding...

Well here I sit in S. E. Mass still waiting for the first snow to fall. The forecast says maybe, later this week. I'll believe it when I see it. I don't ever in my life remember not having snow by the end of January. I don't really like going out in the snow. But I do miss having it. I imagine that all of a sudden we'll get the whole winters worth at once. Kind of like the "Blizzard of 78". I love just watching the snow fall. I can't wait for a pretty picture out my window.

Update: It's snowing....yippee. We are only supposed to get and inch or so, but it's also supposed to snow on and off for the next couple of days. Not much just snow showers. I't dark out though so I can't watch it falling right now. Well when cars go by I can see it in their headlights and on the road.

No, you're not weird at all...I'm from the south and not use to all this cold weather and snow even after 7 years. Some people love it some people dislike it....

I'm not negative, snow is something I just don't prefer...It's hard for me to get out and do anything when it's on the ground. I never was one for skiing either...But, at least you like it and that's real cool...Just my opinion about snow that's all....thank you for responding though....

I love snow big time! But I think I would be just like you, and probably get on the computer first thing. Read the news, check the weather, etc.

We got our first snow a couple of days ago which is very surprising since we usually get tons of snow in October already.
