Woke up today with 1 1/2 inches....not too bad. Could be you out in WI with FEET of snow!!!

Not as "bad" as they thought it was going to be, we had "only" 15.8 in. of the white stuff. And it was the wet heavy kind.

Brett

 

[greatwhite]

My son was so excited to see the white stuff, he ran out with his sweats on to romp with our dog!!!

I had a great idea for a Christmas card, build 3 snowmen without heads and take a picture, then take our heads and put them on the snowmen. Well, we have not had any snow to make the men. Today with only 1 1/2", there just isn't enough.....so maybe you could make the snowmen for me and send me the copy of the picture to use!!!!

greatwhite..... I was wondering, are the Cheyrl that was chepic and changed you screen-name or are you a different Cheyrl??

We would love to have a little snow our way! It has been over 6 years since we have had any accumulation.

Plenam: actually, greatwhite is a co-worker/co-hort that I got to come and I used her computer and didn't realize the name until after...so yes and no.

Luvcrusin: where are you?

It is snowing again here today, but only light flurries....looks like a snow globe.

 

[luvcruisn]

I live in SC--near Myrtle Beach. We rarely get any snow--if someone wants to send some our way!

In that case, welcome greatwhite to our January Thaw Cruise....BTW, another 6 to 12 in of snow predicted by Thur ......where do I ship it to?

Brett

 

[chepic]

We are to get just rain from that storm....too bad. You can always ship the snow to the desert, they could always use the water. Just go out and play like a kid...they never seem to care how cold or deep the snow is. And don't forget to make my snowmen for me

Hello. This is the real greatwhite. Not my friend/cohort cheryl. I will be crusing with a DS,12 and a DD,7 and a DH. Lets not forget him. I can't wait.
This will be our first cruise with Disney. In August of 2005 me and my husband did a 11 day Hawaii cruise on the Norweigan Wind. Absolutely beautiful.. Can't wait for the Caribbean...

Tricia, welcome, glad to have you aboard. You guys just have to come here to enjoy this weather, right now we're having "Thunder Snow", it's snowing and thundering at the same time...weird

Hopping onboard w/ you guys!!! I actually prebooked this cruise in Jan. 06 & as soon as our Jan. 08 dates came available I switced to our Jan.19 week. Three other families are joining us as well after hearing us rave & rave about DCL for so long (this will be our 4th cruise!!). Glad to hear some boys my DS's age will be around, the group mostly consists of pre-teen girls. He will 14 & a freshman in HS when we sail. My DD will be 11 & in 5th grade. Maybe the guys can email b/f we sail. Counting the months, will be booking our flights soon!!! One step closer.

 

[greatwhite]

Brett I wish we were getting snow. It is raining here again. Not our usual Rhode Island winter.. We are suppose to get 3-4 inches of rain this morning. I think your sons and my son will be close in age when we cruise. we should let them get to know each other. My sons worst nightmare is to have to hang out with his 7 yo sister for this cruise...I believe there are a couple more boys that I have read about that will also be close in age. Enjoy your weather... Tricia

 

[chepic]

Hey Disneycruisefans....welcome aboard. My son will be 6 3/4 at the time of cruise, so he won't hang out with your bunch....but we have a variety of ages with our gang so I'm certain they will all hang out at one time or another.

Great to see the boat is filling up. 10 and 1/2 months to go!!!

I think the pool is out of the question for a while

Brett

 

[chepic]

That's quite the pool you got there, I hope it thaws out for you by the 4th of July!!!! You may want to consider a water heater!

I'm hoping for the begining of May, last couple of years it didn't freeze solid, this year, I think it's about 3/4 solid. Last year the kids were in there near the end of May, I like the water a little warmer than that, I think they would go in if there were ice flows.

Brett

 

[chepic]

You are better than us...we usually shoot for Memorial Day weekend, and then it is really only the 5y.o. that enters the clear blue, icy cold waters!!! I wait until July when the h2o temp hits 70+....I have been begging for a heater for years, however my request has not been granted at this point in time.
Today, the temps are under 10 degrees due to an Alberta clipper that decided to come through our area..BBBBRRRRRRRRR

Hi everyone!!!

Well, we just booked our cruise and it looks like we will be joining you on the ship!!
Let me introduce my family, my name is Beth, hubby is Rick and we will be cruising with 2 of our sons, Stephen (17 at cruise time) and Michael(10 at cruise time). We are retired Air Force and still working at the base here in NC.

This will be our 4th Disney cruise, our 2nd 7 night one, and our first time to the Eastern side. We took a double dip cruise last July with our friends..That being said, let me tell you about the rest of our gang.

Joining us will be our friends John and Shirley(also Air Force)
Their daughter and son(adults)
Their other daughter and son in law(Air Force stationed in Guam)
Our friend Angie(Air Force) and her 2 daughters (18 and 13)
And possibly 2 other families.
We all cruised together last summer. Get the feeling we are military?? LOL

I look forward to counting down the days till the cruise with all of you!!
