Yeah, I grew up my whole childhood in Dallas, TX and went to college in Nashville so this is my first slightly colder winter, since I moved to the mountains in NC. It's not that bad, though. I actually like winter, maybe because I was born in December :-) I also adore the snow, which I rarely got to experience when I was younger. However, once spring arrives it is always a happy occasion :o)

You said you got a lot of snow, what area?
