> It snowed last night. WOW!!! I know for some of you that's no biggy, but for us here in Oklahoma it is HUGE!!!!!!!!! Sorry for the shouting, but I am excited. I don't think I can EVER remember a time when it snowed before Thanksgiving. And it even accumulated. We had about an inch last night. It's almost all gone already, but it was there and I LOVED it! I just hope this will set the trend for this winter. The last white Christmas I remember I was about 4-6 years old. I'm 30 now so that's been some time ago.

That same front that dropped snow on Oklahoma went through here and blew down a tree over by my garden and dropped limbs and leaves all over the yard. I was glad to see the leaves come down because it give me a head start on picking them up. Besides, a bunch of them blew down into the woods and they aren't my problem any more.

Unfortunately, when the front went through Knoxville, it blew down a 30 inch diameter oak tree which landed on a pickup truck in a parking lot. Two children were killed and their father injured. They were sister and brother, age 10 and 15. A witness said, "It makes you want to go home and hug your own kids."

I'd rather have the snow.
