O.K., most of us being Southerners have not had the joy(if you wanna call it that) of experiencing FOR REAL snow. I'm not referring to the few crystals that we get in the South every few years. I'm talking about going to bed with a green lawn, and waking up to have to dig your way out of the front door. I currently live in Owen Sound, Ontario Canada, which is the Heart Of The Snow Belt. We experience frequently during the year, a phenomenon known as "Lake Effect Snow" more info on the subject can be found here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_effect_snow#Phenomenon_in_the_Great_Lakes_region.2C_Southeast_Canada_and_the_U.S._NortheastCLICK ON IMAGE BELOW TO OPEN THE VIDEO P.S.= I am not a Weather Man, and the video is not top quality because it was taken on a 8 megapixel Photo Camera, but still you get the idea. When it snows here, IT SNOWS!!!! By the time I uploaded this video, less than an hour later, the sun broke the clouds and melted it away, HAHAHHA. So much for breaking out the snowboard.

Mr.Carl, we got no raccoons in the yard, we do have about 25 JET BLACK Squirrels, 3 Skunks(ewww), and 2 Groundhogs. There are definitely Raccoons in the area, I have seen plenty on the side of the road dead, just none alive around my house. I'm not a big fan of the skunks, basically because they come home in the early am, after spraying the neighborhood cats and dogs, and my window fan pumps the stench straight into my room !!! NASTY!! They are very pretty animals though, and I don't have the heart(yet) to call animal control, and have them removed.

This is what our squirrels look like: They're about twice the size of our "cat squirrels" or "grey squirrels"!Mean as a Tasmanian Devil too. They attack cats, dogs, other squirrels, chipmunks, and the occasional human. Very majestic little animals. We have another breed too, very tiny red squirrels, almost the size of a chipmunk, they are very skittish, mainly because the black squirrels will kill and eat them!

HAHAHHA, ROSE if only I were a single man. The women up here fall head over heels at my first sentence. My wife hates it, because even with her standing beside me, they still start flirting and say "OMG I LOVE YOUR ACCENT"!!! Most of the time, they wait for me to finish a paragraph, only to say they didn't understand a word I had said. LMAO, up here, it seems like they think the only state in the south is TEXAS, cause they always think that's where I'm from!! I QUICKLY tell them, just cause it's the biggest, does not make it the BEST and ONLY state in the South.

Very nice picture. I love to look at the snow but I am afraid this old body could not adjust to it.

Ok, thank you dew, I clicked on every 1/32 of the pix and i have not had a video. that's ok MMMMM, when you clicked on the picture did it open another page? If not try right-clicking on it, and go-to open in another tab or window! If it is sending you to another page, and no video is playing, than you may need to update your codecs or Flash Player!!! Hope this helps!!! PS=if that don't work click the link below!!! s132.photobucket.com/albums/q27/dew26m/movies/?action=view¤t=HPIM0837.flvIf this link does not open the video, only a blank looking page, than you need Flash Player installed or updated, you can test this by going to YOUTUBE.COM and trying to watch a video there. By the way, please excuse the extremely sad looking back yard,hahahaha. Haven't had much time to start our fall clean-up!!
