damn Crista, how do you stand that cold and all that snow. We had snow the last few weeks here in EP, Texas and it drove me nuts. Got to post up a pic of u doing a snow angel when you get your camera back. Or a snow pic XRU style!

Um, please don't ship Nate. LOL. I'll take the snuggie though.hahaha
I'm half eskimo.
... Ok not really, but yeah its insane.. haha. We have some super good parka's and stuff.. hahaha.. I just dress nice and warm. Layers are the way to go.
Nate was asking me how I even drive in this, and its so easy. The right tires, a little clutch feathering, and you're good to go. I spun out in second on a street though, ended up doing a full 360 haha.
And I'll get some good shots tomorrow. I'm headed downtown where all the amazing lights are, so I'll make sure to get some of the X in there. As for snow angels, totally NOT going to happen yet. Its WAAAAYYY to chilly outside, and the snow is just ice, its not even snowball worthy (unless you want to peg someone with a ball of ice in the side of the head..)
I have SOME pictures on my Facebook right now, but they're not as good. It gets dark around 4:30pm here, so it makes its hard to get good photo's since I'm off at 6.. haha.
BUT !! Here are some examples from my work:
My truck has a snotty.. haha

Small update:
Its snowing again.
In saying that, 7 hours have passed and Calgary has seemed to forget how to drive. The road in front of my workplace is a parking lot. I've been outside six times, and each five mins apart, and the same vehicle is in front of the building.. lol.
Roads are slick, accidents are EVERYWHERE. Lucky for me since I have most of you on FB now I can just upload pictures and show you all how bad it is.. haha. I'm excited.. X in snow!!

F all that snow mess! lol
It is still pretty nice down here, but you gotta admit it does get cold down here in FL for a few months... at least cold for us real Floridians. Anything below the 70's is cold to me.

Its. INSANE outside.
I can't believe it. I thought last week was bad. The drive home took me nearly two hours, and I didn't get out of second the whole way.. haha. I almost spun out going 60km/h which was scary as shit.. haha. I'm prayin' for a chinook soon, but I highly doubt that'll happen. My poor truck!! I'm keepin him safe for now, no travelling for me yet haha
