Still snowing

Michael on 02.06.2010

I was born in Ohio, but moved to Georgia 2 months before I turned 11. I remember snow fondly, though I hated shoveling it.

I remember building what I remember as being 20 feet long and 8 feet high walls of snow, behind which we produced a lot of snowballs and commenced in all our war. I remember running and sliding on the ice on the ground, and often falling and busting my ass on the ground.

After moving to Georgia, I remember a few decent snowfalls, but one year in particular I remember leaving school early and attempting to walk home, along with 3 of my friends. We stupidly believed it couldn’t be that far home, it was only a 15 minute drive. We ended up getting picked up by one of my neighbors and driven home in the back of his pickup truck, freezing our butts off. When I got home I build a snowman in my front yard complete with a stick for a fishing pole with a bobber on the end of some string, and a Cabella’s hat. Just as I was finishing up, my parents pulled over the hill coming home from work and I remember seeing my dad leaning over the steering wheel to see what I was doing. It was one of the only times I can remember seeing him laugh really hard. It’s one of my best memories of him.

Thanks for the pictures. We don’t get more than a dusting of snow down here anymore. You really made my day.
