My god, I haven't seen snow in years. Not since I was young enough to think that the greatest winter entertainment was building a snow fort and decorating it with water and food coloring sprayed from a squirt bottle.
Beale, I know what you're talking about with the ice thing. When I lived in Dallas we'd get those little snows that immediately melted and became ice overnight. Then they'd close school, and northerners would make fun of us. But come on, we don't have chains for our tires or salt trucks. Half the kids would have died on the ride to school. So we'd spend the day "ice skating" in our sneakers in the street...until the ice melted that afternoon.
