It got a bit chilly today, and is supposed to be even cooler tonight. This area definitely goes kind of crazy when it gets anywhere around freezing, like they lose their minds is what. I don't know, I'm going to go visit some places where it actually gets cold, and gets snow, at least for a little while. I'm no huge fan of the cold, or of snow, but I like to visit it once in a while, lol.

The best snows I've ever seen were in Germany when we lived there, followed by New Jersey when we lived there. Those near three years in Europe definitely stand out as far as getting snow goes. We got so used to it in the Boy Scouts that we rarely even used tents, and I've woken up several times covered in a two inch layer of snow on my sleeping bag, and was still snug as a bug. Once we were camped out in an old castle and woke up to a tour walking through the area. Freaked them right out as we started to wake and sit up, still in our sleeping bags. That was one of the best laughs we had.

I remember the New Jersey snow because of the sledding I think. We lived in the housing area of a very small base and it was on a hill. It was great for sledding and we had those saucer sleds then. Nearly broke our damned necks but it was fun. The ONLY thing in New Jersey that was fun the whole year we were there. Hated that place for the most part. Oh well, you have to be somewhere, lol.
