And quit praying for snow!!! I think we've had enough already and my back can't take another day of shoveling the driveway. Saw this on the way back from a Defiance Ohio Home Inspection and I just had to share. In the light of things, I got a good chuckle from it. So now I'm praying, for whoever's praying for the snow, to please heed the sign's message. Thanks! And I'm sure others will thank you too.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow - NOT!

BTW, if you're reading this from some warm, tropical-like area, you are strictly prohibited from commenting on this post!!! LOL.

Ahhhh, that's more like it!

I don't think Florida counts as warm and tropical this winter. It's the coldest, rainiest winter since I've lived here for over twenty years!

William: Well at least you don't have to shovel the rain! LOL. My mom & stepdad just got back from Florida last week, and they said they never took off their jackets the entire time.

Thanks for stopping by.

Sally and/or David: People do like to complain about it though, don't they? I guess I am too! LOL. My kids sure love it though. Additionally, when we go go sledding, I get a great workout (4 kids!!).

Thanks for commenting.

Pat: A few inches short, eh? You make it sound like a good thing - LOL. Hopefully no record breaking this year. 70 degrees! Must be nice! Although, we are up to a balmy 35 right now! I need to start praying for warmer weather.

Enjoy your day!

Charles: Yeah, a good shovel and back is also necessary, unless you can afford a decent snow blower, but hey, not me, I work in real estate!!

Hope all is well on your side of the country.

Charles: Good. Don't even. It was 41 today though, and I actually took off my winter jacket at my inspection. Now you on the other hand in your Bermuda shorts and flip flops..........

I just realized..... is this tweeting? Am I twittering? Or is it Twittling? Live "chatting" on AR?? Maybe its just because I'm actually getting comments on my blog. I dunno. I'm used to getting 1 or 2 comments, if I'm lucky. I guess my lucks changing for the better everyday....

It is easy to get comments if you just hang at your computer all the time----as if you have no other life:) Comments are actually a function of developing a "following"----the more you blog----the more comments you eventually will get. Plus it helps to blog about sex LOL

They probably prayed for a white Christmas. My wise old grandmother always told me to be careful what I asked for because I just might get it.

Snow is one thing San Diego Home Inspectors don't have to worry about. However having lived in Colorado for many years, I can relate. Some days it would be nice to wake up to green grass!
