I love the first snowfall when it's like that! We're expecting our first snow fall tonight. Anywhere fro 5 - 20 cm. With ice pellets and freezing rain thrown in. 
Can't wait for the drive to work tomorrow.

We had our first snow of the season Tuesday morning. Less than an inch and it's gone today.

Wow, I would love to see some snow. We got a cold front today finally. I didn't think it would feel like Thanksgiving. It was 74 this morning, when I went to town, 15 minutes away. By the time I got to the store, it dropped 12 degrees. It is now 43, windchill is 36. yes I know, nothing what you guys are getting up north, but, we're weenies down here when it get's cold. LOL
Usually in Texas, we see our first icing... not snow. But like Texasgirl stated, it's nice to finally feel the cool air that you normally associate with the fall season and the holidays. Angie... I was hoping to see pics of your snow!!! Since we don't get much of our own, we have to admire yours!!!
Sattie is right - we don't get a snow first where I live in TX - we get rain, that turns to freezing rain, which turns to sleet, then if we're lucky it turns to snow eventually. And, we're luck if it's cold enough on Thanksgiving Day for a fire in the fireplace. Our coldest days may not come until February or March!
When I lived in Golden, CO - Thanksgiving Day was always the coldest day of the year - and we always had plenty of snow. I had Lookout Mountain out me east kitchen windows, Zion Mountain out my west kitchen windows, and the South Table Mesa (I lived on the base of it) out my living room and bedroom windows. When I find my photo albums I'll try to post some pics ... I know there is one of my El Cheapo Brinkman smoker that I tried to smoke a turkey in one Thanksgiving ... surrounded by 18-inches of snow .... and no, I would not suggest trying to smoking a turkey in an ECB at 12ºF with 18-inches of snow on the ground ...

you should move to Texas then
Actually I am not crazy about icing either
Maybe South FL is the place for me! (I know hurricanes)
I think it's the snow removal, boots, bulky clothes, increased heating, hazardous driving that I really hate. The snow itself is pretty when fresh on the ground.

Ive been caught in icing in Texas it was horrible and really scary took me 3 hours to go about 40 miles before I gave up and got a room the lady wanted cash and she wanted $60.00 because evrybody was trying to get a room in the one motel in the dinky town.It was the dirtiest,gross room I slept in my clothes on top of the bed and didnt dare use the shower.The bright side was it was warm the phone worked and the tv worked and I had a big bottle of wine and me and my dog were safe.Didnt help when I saw a horrible wreck on the way.What is more scary than the ice is the semi trucks barreling towards us.Never,ever,ever again will I do that
Yea, that Texas ice is a real mess!!! I don't even bother trying to drive in it anymore... just much to risky.
Hey, just a tip to offer you... a friend of mine use to do some sort of work in hotels and places of the like. He said to NEVER sleep on top of the covers. Always pull off the comforter and sleep on the sheets. You would not believe the crud they find on those things!!!
Angie, I see some clouds rolling in my neck of the woods.... wonder if we are gonna get our first icing of the year????
Oh, Angie. Everything looks so beautiful. Your "babies" look right at home. What pretty faces.
No snow for us. Just cold and gloomy. I don't care. The house smells divine.
