Thanks. A throwback to my childhood. As inviting as it sounds, no snow for me! If I tilted my head back to catch a snowflake on my tongue, I'd probably tip right over!

Hey, Delice, you are welcome to all that will fall here in Eastern Kentucky. By all means, take all you want.

Happy memories as the snowflakes melt on the tongue instead of the ground. Masterful haiku here. Snow White and Prince Charming, gw

Oh how I wish they were melting. It's pretty nippy up here in Saskatchewan. Well penned my friend. Have a great day.

Rare opportunity here in Texas, but a fun memory from childhood up in Ohio. :-) Have a great day Milt, Bill

You, too, Bill. I remember snow in San Antonio when I was in basics. But I know some parts of Texas are pretty warm year round.

Thank you, Evelyn. I don't...really. I can do very well without snow...period.
