The best snow ever snows and is beautiful and then melts away and the sun comes out and gets into the sixety's.

I think pictures of snow in the wilderness are pretty. I don't like either cold or snow in real life, though.

I guess snow wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't made out of water. That whole wet thing when it is below freezing can really be annoying.

Love it, as long as I don't have to drive in it. Most of the students act like they've never seen it before and don't have a clue how to manuever around in it.

After Eminem and the Beastie Boys, he's probably the best white rapper. Informer is a GREAT song.

and what's worse than cold, wet snow? Those damn stickers they put on tomatoes and apples in the store. I always have trouble peeling those little buggers off. I guess the checkers can't tell a granny smith from a cucumber.

They will pass. Literally.
I would be more upset with the fluoridated water you wash them with.

I liked his song "Informer" (fyi Snow I believe is a cousin to one of The Bare Naked Ladies...not Anna)

"Informer"

[chorus:]
Informer
You know say daddy me snow me-a (gonna) blame
A licky boom-boom down
'Tective man he say, say Daddy Me Snow me stab someone down the lane
A licky boom-boom down

Police-a them-a they come and-a they blow down me door
One him come crawl through through my window
So they put me in the back the car at the station
From that point on I reach my destination
Well the destination reached in down-a East detention
Where they whip down me pants look up me bottom

[chorus]

Bigger they are they think they have more power
There on the phone me say that on hour
Me for want to use it once and-a me call me lover
Lover who me callin'-a the one Tammy
And me love her in my heart down to my belly-a
Yes say Daddy Me Snow me I feel cool and deadly
Yes the one MC Shan and the one Daddy Snow
Together we-a love 'em(?) as a tornado

[chorus]

Listen to me ya better listen for me now
Listen to me ya better listen for me now
When-a me rock-a the microphone, me rock on steady-a
Yes-a Daddy Me Snow me are the article don
But the in an a-out (?) a dance an they say, "Where ya come from?"
People them say I come from Jamaica
But me born and raised in Etobicoke I want ya to know-a
Pure black people man thats all I man know
Yeah me shoes are-a tear up an-a my toes used to show-a
Where me-a born in-a the one Toronto

[chorus]

Come with a nice young lady
Intelligent, yes she gentle and irie
Everywhere me go me never lef' her at all-ie
Yes-a Daddy Snow me are the roam dance man-a
Roam between-a dancin' in-a in-a nation-a
You never know say Daddy Me Snow me are the boom shakata
Me never lay-a down flat in-a one cardboard box-a
Yes-a Daddy Me Snow me-a go reachin' out da top

[chorus]

Why would he? [repeat]

[MC Shan:]

Me sittin round cool with my jiggy jiggy girl
Police knock my door, lick up my pal
Rough me up and I cant do a thing
Pick up my line when my telephone ring
Take me to the station, black up my hands
Trail me down 'cause I'm hanging with the Snowman
What an I gonna do, I'm backed and I'm trapped
Smack me in my face, took all of my gap
They have no clues and they wanna get warmer
But Shan won't turn informer

If I am slapping on some skis for some mogul mashing, the more the merrier. There is nothing else it is good for in my book.

Snow is OK, but ice sucks, and we tend to get more ice than snow. I'm thinking of just hibernating this year.

I love snow. Or at least I will for probably another month, then I am going to want it to go away.

I grew up down south, and saw only three instances of measurable snowfall during the first 30 years or so of my life. So I still love it, even if I do have to shovel it sometimes.

One of the best sounds in the world is the quiet crunch of shoes or boots in freshly-fallen snow.
