I think it snows more in Jacksonville FL nowadays.

... water-sprayed snow. It had snow benches and snow shelves and was our refuge from
the stressful world of grownups. I used to snitch snacks to keep out there -- found out
much later that MiddleFingerMomMom was leaving them out to be "stolen" for the igloo).

I remember climbing up and standing atop my own little Mt Everest -- about a 20-foot
mound of snowplowed snow "downtown" (this was a tiny tiny village). I saw the photo
about 5 years ago. That photo must have been damaged by heat shrinkage as my
adventurer's pose was on a mound about 5 or 6 feet high.

About the only thing disappointing about living in Tucson is the absence of a harsh winter.
I miss the crispness in the air, the crunch of snow underfoot during a hike where somewhere
we could stop and build a little fire and roast hot dogs -- maybe marshmallows -- and
drink hot chocolate out of a Thermos (maybe gluhwein now).
.
I tend to forget the gray nasty slush and the frozen tootsies and such -- those are
temporary and doable for the bounties that winter CAN have. When I could drive, I
used to take my car or motorcycle up Mt Lemmon early in the season (seemingly ALWAYS
forgetting my gloves as it would be 70 degrees at the base -- I'd ride most of the way
with one hand on a handlebar grip and the other between my legs, and worrying about
frostbite the whole way).
.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
.
So to speak.
.
One cool part -- at one point there was a STEEP hill right beside the road and I would
always see a bunch of cars with Mexican license plates. Adults AND children would be
having a blast and I always imagined that they had taken a day trip or a weekend and
were almost all experiencing snow for the first time.
.
Their excitement was very cool... and very contagious.
