My xmas is going to be rather green. It won't snow. I love it

deffinitoins for lake effect snow

Chicago - snows on one side of the Street, but not the other

South Bend (Indiana) -- 6 inches an hour

Sam Kenobi · **Sun Dec 19, 2004 9:49 pm**

hey, all my dad's family lives in south bend. stuck-in-the-past sort of place. but I like it.

Starbuck · **Sun Dec 19, 2004 9:52 pm**

I lived in South Bend for like two months. Those two months, unfortunatly, were December and January. lol

Sam Kenobi · **Sun Dec 19, 2004 9:54 pm**

haha... yeah, I've only been out there in the summer. and it's *beep* hot and muggy. I can't stand humidity. especially being from Colorado where it's so dry, the snow evaporates instead of melting.

Starbuck · **Sun Dec 19, 2004 9:57 pm**

Yeah, thats one thing I absolutely HATE about Illinois. Because I live so close to the lake, we get heavy snowfall on my side of the street, and REALLY humid summers.

memyselfandI · **Sun Dec 19, 2004 9:58 pm**

I get the exact same thing. Exept off of Lake Huron. (I live in the thumb)

Sam Kenobi · **Sun Dec 19, 2004 10:01 pm**

Aye... you people and your water. I like Lake MIchigan though. I haven't been out there in a while. Are there still those nasty biting flies on the southeastern beach?

Starbuck · **Sun Dec 19, 2004 10:02 pm**

All the beaches have those nasty biting flies

Sam Kenobi · **Sun Dec 19, 2004 10:03 pm**

Nasty. There's one more plus about CO. No bugs.

memyselfandI · **Sun Dec 19, 2004 10:04 pm**

Yeah, even Lake Superior gets them in the summer.

Starbuck · **Sun Dec 19, 2004 10:07 pm**

I am SO moving to CO.

Sam Kenobi · **Sun Dec 19, 2004 10:12 pm**

Yeah, it's nice... even though, weirdly enough, we were one of the highest on the list of deaths due to West Nile Virus during that last outbreak. I've seen maybe... two mosquitos living here for 18 years though. oh... and on one of our adventures to the evil pond off somerset. It was weird.

Starbuck · **Sun Dec 19, 2004 10:15 pm**

Lol, I have tons of fruit trees in my back yard, so I get tons of bugs.

Sam Kenobi · **Sun Dec 19, 2004 10:17 pm**

oh... I forgot to finish that thought. On our adventure in the evil pond off of somerset, we saw fireflies in CO for the first time.

Starbuck · **Sun Dec 19, 2004 10:22 pm**

I love fireflies. We get tons of them in Illinois.

memyselfandI · **Sun Dec 19, 2004 10:23 pm**

I don't see that many in my part of Michigan. I'm not sure why. I do see them from time to time, but only a few.

Republican_Man · **Sun Dec 19, 2004 10:29 pm**

How does this relate to a White Christmas?

Sam Kenobi · **Sun Dec 19, 2004 10:29 pm**

I've never seen any flying around in CO. the ones that we saw were all nestled in a little swamp.

Starbuck · **Sun Dec 19, 2004 10:31 pm**

They like swamps, thats why I love living by 3 bodies of water. I have a creek in my back yard, I live a few miles away from Lake Michigan, and the Fox River is within walking distance.

Ziona · **Sun Dec 19, 2004 10:37 pm**

white=cold
snow=cold
Ziona doesnt like cold
Therefore, Ziona doesn't like white or snow... LoL

Arellia · **Mon Dec 20, 2004 12:09 am**

I would not mind snow. I'm visiting my grandparents in the mountains for Christmas, but it's not nearly cold enough...which is too bad, 'cause my family goes wild when we get to play in the snow.

Starbuck · **Mon Dec 20, 2004 6:07 pm**

I go INSANE when the creek freezes over, because its only a few inches deep, it freezes solid. So we play hockey on it.
