I live in Michigan. Usually in Michigan it snows a lot in the winter. Once, last year, after 10 inches fell and blew over night, out my front door it looked like this:
However, this winter, besides one big dumping the beginning of December, it has only lightly snowed a few times, looking more like this:

I grew up in NC and we did not get very much snow…so when we did it was a big deal. We loved making snow cream…who knows how good it was for you, but it tasted great!
From Wisconsin, let it snow…and melt quickly!
Winter 1976 (or was it 1974-75? lol) .. Sw lower Mich.
MAJOR BLIZZARD.. RED ALERT (yea thats what they were callec back then)
We got DUMPED on and I mean dumped on… 6-8 ft drifts.. everything shut down!
I remember taking our sleds down to the nearest grocery store to fetch some needed food… we carried said food back on the sleds. Everything was a total mess.. these lil “sniffles” called snowstorms today are nothing compared to the 70s lol.
Let It SNOW!! (north of me lol..I moved south & you can keep ALL OF IT)
I live in Alaska & my favorite memory as a kid is when I would be outside all day building snow forts with all my friends. I can remember we would go out at 10am and not come home until we were called to come in. & then after coming inside you start to take off all the layers upon layers of gear you have and mom has home made soup that’s ready to eat that’s been cooking all day long. *sigh* those were good memories that I have playing outside as a kid. I miss them & I hope that when I’m blessed with children I can give them the same warm winter memories. Let it snow! Have a blessed weekend!! :)
My favorite memory as a child when it snowed was shoveling with my dad and brothers, and then playing in it with my friends for hours, no matter how cold or wet we were! After hours of playing we would come in and my mom would have hot soup and cocoa for all of us. Then we would watch it come down and snuggle under warm blankets and watch movies. Now I am making those same childhood memories of “Snow Days” with my 10 y/o daughter and husband! It is actually supposed to snow here tonight and tomorrow in PA so we will be doing the memories tomorrow!! :)
On Jan 27, 1996 the East Coast was hit with a huge blizzard. We lived in Maryland where we had over 3 feet of snow. That night my husband proposed to me – just the two of us. It was the most memorable time. The only problem was that it was three days before the roads were cleared so I could show off the ring!!!
Digging tunnels around our pickup truck after the blizzard of ’78! We could walk on top of it!
LET IT SNOW!!!!
I remember snow days as a kid when it seemed that the drifts along our windbreak were 10 feet tall! There were 8 of us kids growing up, and we would spend hours digging tunnels and forts into the deep drifts and having snowball fights. The best part was going inside after an hour or so and being all tingly from the cold and sipping cocoa in the kitchen :-)
I remember when we moved to AR from the deserts of Calif. We had 12 inches of snow, something our daughters had never seen. It was so fun to watch them playin it.
I loved snow as a child and can remember trying to build igloos and sled riding. But I never really knew snow until I married my first husband who was from Minnesota. We went up there every year the week after Christmas and I LOVED sitting there looking out the window at the snow peacefully falling and everything looking fresh and shiny outside. I also enjoyed the sledding up there!!
When my youngest was little it started snowing late in the day. We went out in the dark, with the moon shining and built a snowman.
I am a teacher so my favorite memories are snow days…sleep in a little, play in the snow, have some hot chocolate and relax.
My favorite memories are just playing in the snow with my son. I live in a small town where there are many walkers and I like to be the first one out after a night time snow to make the first tracks around town!!
While I was growing up, we moved quite a bit. One year when I was about 11 and my sister was 7 we lived in Fairfax, VA right outside of Washington DC. That particular winter we received so much snow that no door would open on the house. I can remember my mother opening the window of the second floor (not as high as you might think the way the house sat) and scooping up snow in a bowl. She brought it inside and made the best snow ‘cream…snow ice cream. My sister and I sat in front of the fireplace eating our snow ice cream and giggling at my father who thought he was going to shovel the driveway so as to go to work. Not…he gave up and joined us at the fireplace eating snow ice cream. I loved that day…makes me remember such happy memories of my mom. May you all be blessed and LET IT SNOW!!!!! Georgia could use another week break…time to just sit and reflect on God’s beauty! Blessings and Smiles to all….Robin :)
I live in South Carolina, so we don’t get much snow. But when we do it’s beautiful & I get time off from work because most of us here don’t know how to drive in the snow!
Oooh, we had a great 20-inch snow (a big snow for ’round here) several years ago, and we LOVED it. My black lab loved it so much (she was a cold weather girl), she ran around the pasture and would go into a drift and all you’d see was her tail wagging above the snow line. :-)
A beautiful snow with inches of ice underneath more inches of snow — perfect for exploring and great for sledding!
Thanks for this kind opportunity!
Let it SNOW!!!
I just today sold my sunny Arizona home to move back to beautiful snowy Michigan. The pull of family just got to be too strong. So, I believe my best snowy days memories are yet to come .
Christmas Day of 2010 we had about 2 inches of snow that was quite a treat as it only happens once in a great while in North Georgia. We got pictures of us on front porch with house decorated for Christmas and it snowing.
My favorite memory of snow would have to be when I was around 8. We use to go to my grandma’s house for Christmas and my cousin and her husband would come from Alaska. My cousin would take all of us younger cousins and go sledding behind my grandmas’s house. Then he we have us race and give us money for all the differnt awards he would give out. The money was only like a dollar or two, but we thought it was a lot. Haha!
Let it snow!!
One of my fondest memories is spending hours and hours sled riding down a wonderful on our side yard. We also would build huge snow forts.
Making snow angels with my little girls a few years ago is my favorite memory in the snow. Now that they are older (10 and 13), I enjoy watching them play in the snow from our picture window. It’s much warmer this way!
I am a retired teacher in Ohio. My husband and I have raised 4 children in homes situated in the country. So, when there were snow days for the schools, I also had the day off with the kids. It became a tradition for us to make Peach Bread Pudding on snow days. The children would wake up to the wonderful aroma of breakfast baking in the oven. Two of my kids have continued this tradition with their own kids. Although I am now retired and all our kids are out on their own, Peach Bread Pudding continues to show up at the breakfast table when our children and grandchildren come to visit !!
