   JK> White   
   JK> Christmas that year IIRC), I'd be complaining for sure.   
      
   I have to go back three years to our last real snowstorm.  We didn't get a   
   single storm this year over one inch.  It was more lame than last year, if   
   that was even possible.     
      
   A far cry from our winter three years ago when we had (3) blizzards in the   
   same season - two of them in the same week!  Had over 4 feet of snow on the   
   ground at one point.  Now that's a winter!  :)   
      
   JK> This year was strange (I'm using the past tense so Murphy doesn't decide   
   JK> to   
   JK> drop another foot here ).  I think we had two real "snow storms" in   
   JK> the area, but what those storms deposited for snow was essentially gone   
   JK> soon   
   JK> after.. either warm temps and sun, or rain aftewards.   
      
   That is two more than we received.   
      
   JK> Winters up here in the Ithaca area are generally pretty mild now compared   
   JK> to   
   JK> the "old days".  That's ok, I don't mind :)   
      
   The one time I visited Ithaca, it was in the single digits and had a foot of   
   snow fall in under 12 hours.  I wanted to stay and move.. :)   
      
   JK> No kidding.. 100% chance of snow is incredible if that what they said,   
   JK> and   
   JK> then you got nada..   
      
   I recall us having a 100% chance of snow before - in fact, it was a "blizzard   
   warming".  The next day it was sunny and not a cloud in the sky.  I thought I   
   had entered the twilight zone.   
      
   JK> Just cold air would drive me crazy, that's for sure.. not that I get out   
   JK> and   
   JK> play in snow anymore like I did when I was a kid :) :)  It just wouldn't   
   JK> seem fair though.   
      
   It is still cold here for this time of year.  Cold, cloudy and windy.  Was   
   ready for spring, but the cold air just won't let up.    
      
   I heard there could be snow in the forecast for Monday..  If we get 1.5" of   
   snow, it will be the deepest snow of the season..  Sad..
