My wife is going thru a winter snow storm in Nevada right now. It began snowing hard early lastnight and is still snowing. So far she has recieved around 6 inches of snow, and has gotten into one car accident when someone rearended our truck, and almost slid off the road twice with the same truck. So you guys be careful about this storm. Oh also we live in the valley just east of Reno, Nevada and it was worse in the higher altitudes.
Maybe I just won't go out at all. 
I have class at 9:45. 
That'd be nice!
Well only rain here in Phoenix but an hour north in Flagstaff a couple of feet they say tonight I-40 Closed, I-17 Closed... Picture form the web cam at NAU this afternoon!!!
Let it snow!

This was my porch over the weekend.
wow.. maybe hell really is gonna freeze over.
Supposed to get up to 10" now.
Days like this make me wonder why the hell I live in MN. 
I hear ya and that is why we live in Arizona for the most part a few months of heat but the rest is pure heaven. Last night heavy rain and wind gusts up to 50mph and blew my Santa off the roof and into the pool!! Today blue sky and 58. I miss the first snow but its only a short drive up the hill..
