My kids miss seeing the snow.

Buy them a snow globe and tell them to shut up.

But now, NO WAY. My husband just put on his snow pants to stay warm in the house!

Where is the central heating? Don't you guys use it in the USA?

I always get excited when it snows, the fresh falling snow does that to me then when it is all quiet and still and a white snow covered world out there - peace reigns - till I need to drive the car then I curse!

oh you old meanie!

Yes, but this 2700-square-foot house is hardly worth heating when there are only three of us who are usually all in the same room together. (I can't wait to move.) The house is old and the heat vents don't close, so we can't channel or block the heat flow in any specific room. If we turned on the central heat, we might as well be taking an armload of $100 bills and throwing them out the window.   

We are getting a ton of use out of our space heater though!! The electricity spent on the space heater is less expensive than heating the whole house with propane (that's what they use in this town).

I remember coing trick or treating as a kid...my dad would pull us on a sled from house to house......

Ahh yes, I remember hearing tidbits from you about your childhood in the Upper Peninsula. Now THAT'S a cold place!
