Come on snow!
I live in the south so snow is a rarity. Would love to have a snow day!
I think it is to early for snow. I don’t really like snow to begin with. I would be okay with getting a little snow for Christmas and then never seeing it again all winter.
I’ve never known a November without snow. It makes the month wonderful!
Snow should wait until after Thanksgiving!
If it is going to be cold, then let it snow!
I think it would be fun to have snow in November especially since I live in Central Texas!!!
We live in East Texas and very seldom see snow. BRING IT ON…..I WOULD LOVE IT!!!
I would love to see snow in November, it makes Thanksgiving that much more special. I reminds me of how hard the Pilgrims had it that first year in the new world.
We have just started with a few snow flurries. I am looking forward to watching the snow fall through the window I love to watch it snow
Bring on the snow!
I think the snow is beautiful any time of the year!
Love the the little mouse very cute and I love snow.
No snow in Hawaii except atop Mauna Kea on Hawaii Island. We have to travel to the mainland to make snow angels and snowpeople, to ski and snowboard, and drink hot cocoa by the fire on a snowy night.
I’d be happy with snow on Christmas Day – only!
I love snow in November! I hope we get more than flurries soon.
I don’t mind snow in November if it means a Snow Day.
I enjoy snow enough that come November I’m usually ready for it. However, after being in a (totaled the car) car accident last Christmas I do not want snow to come until AFTER the holidays…
Anytime after November 1st I love to see it snow. We haven’t had enough snow in several years in Kansas.
Would love to win this book fof my classroom thank you for the chance
The first snow is always pretty-BUT when the snow in Minnesota waits until the middle to end of December the winter doesn’t seem so long.
We had snow on Halloween this year! The kids were shocked!
Knowing snow is coming because I live in Michigan raises my curiosity. One of my favorite things to do during one of the first snows is to take my first graders outside so they can catch snowflakes on their tongues. I know it will snow…..so I find ways to embrace its beauty and wonder.
The first snow is such an exciting time each year! I love to see the wonder in my three year old students eyes! Yes the process of snow pants, boots, coat, hat and mittens takes a while but by the end of the season they become pris! Love the beautiful winter wonderland!
I love snow anytime.
I live in sunny California. I love to visit the snow. Skiing is great. I would not like to live in snow. ????
No snow in South Texas where I live, but when I lived in Missouri, I couldn’t wait for it to snow – even in November!
Flurries before Christmas are the best but by February I am definitely over it!
Snow in November is a little too early for me! Even though it’s beautiful and the kids love it, Many families travel for Thanksgiving in November, so it can make the roads dangerous. Disappointing families!!!
Nope, no way! It should snow on Christmas and then leave by New Year’s. 🙂
Any day is a good day for snow! Love it!!!
I suppose November is fine with snow, it is all just seeming to come too suddenly this year, I want to hang on to fall longer but I can’t. But where Christmas is concerned, I love it for right now, can never have too much Christmas music! Sweet little book, thank you for sharing!
What is this white stuff you speak of? Living in Southern California near coast means no snow here. Wish we had some.
no snow in November please .I can come anytime after Dec 20.But stay off my drive way (ya like that is gonna happen)
I live in Texas, so snow is rare….so November would be fine with me!!
Snow after thanksgiving in December
No matter when it starts it’s too early for me. It seems once it starts it never stops. I Dread snow season.
Love the snow in December and January but by February I’m looking forward to spring and green grass.
Snow is beautiful, but I’d rather it wait for Christmas!
The only time I truly want snow is two weeks before Christmas through January.
Arctic weather expected here in Massachusetts! Snow is better than ice!
Please no…way too early. Let’s save it for Christmas!!
I love the snow. I live in the south now but grew up in New Jersey. I wished we had more snow.
I live in upstate and am ready for a little snow. We’ve been spoiled with mild temperatures but this week brought true November weather and I have to admit, it’s putting me in the holiday spirit!
Here in Colorado it’s not unusual to start seeing snow in October, let alone November! I love a wintry day with a dusting of snow on the ground, clear blue skies, and crisp, chilly air. (But not TOO chilly to take the little ones out to play!)
Let it snow!
I miss the snow! Loved watching it
fall. Grew up in Michigan but now live in Texas
Snow? What is snow. Love in Phoenix, As so sow isn’t something we see unless we travel up north. Would be fun for a day though
Well we are in Fl but I’m sure my preschool class would be thrilled!
We’ve seen a few flakes here on the Wasatch Front of Utah as well these last few days! I love snow, but mostly in the mountains and not on the roads. Ha!
would love a sprinkling here in Texas but alas we don’t get anything until about January or February! So I am always wanting to teach winter/snow/ice etc. for my littles! Would love this!
I love snow in October, November, December, January, February, and sometimes even in March! Let it snow!
I am a librarian, not a teacher, but I could definitely use this book. I don’t mind snow flurries, but I prefer them to start around Thanksgiving!
My idea of the perfect snow is when it’s one of those snows with the big beautiful flakes that float slowly down, and I don’t have to go anywhere so I can sit with a cup of hot chocolate and watch it through the window… for about an hour– then it can disappear, as I’d rather not have to drive in it!
The first snow fall of the year is always something I look forward to!
The air is crisp, the snowflakes are beautiful and the excitement it brings
to the kids is full of fun!
At least it wasn’t on Halloween!
When I see snow, it reminds me of whip cream, icing and heaven. It is so beautiful!
I love snow anytime because it beautifies the land and gives it a clean slate. Everything takes on a calm quietness and suddenly you don’t mind the cold. Once it stops, you hear the sounds of children laughing and playing and they can’t wait to get outside instead of on their nintendo and other game systems. Without the snow, the cold is bitter and freezing and you can’t get warm and you hate going outside. The children don’t want to go outside either. Snow makes everything more fun. I’m lucky to live in the mountains of North Carolina where many times it snows and then it’s gone after several days. My husband says that’s the best snow but I secretly love snow anytime.
Loves snow, but it’s a !ittle too early. Just happy to have cooler weather. Love fall!!
November is too early for me! I enjoy snow, but I like it to wait until after the holidays so I can still drive everywhere I need/want to.
We have had snow for over a week on the ground in Montana!
I live in Western Pennsylvania and yes, there were snowflakes flying…but not enough!! I can’t wait for the white stuff, and for snowy story times.
I LOVE snow, anytime any amount!!!!!!! 🙂
SNOW, SNOW, SNOW in November, December and January! I love snow and would love to see it early.
Snow in November would be divine! We hardly ever get any good snows in St. Louis anymore. Snow always adds a festive and cozy feeling to the holidays.
Living in Hawaii, I haven’t seen snow falling here. I recently saw pictures of snow falling in Washington State. I remember traveling to Mt. Rainier with my family; we saw snow, made snow angels and ate their famous berry pie!! Yum!!
I would really enjoy reading the book Mice Skating to my special needs PK students. We all could experience the season of “Winter”, what one can do when the temperature drops below freezing, snow falls and lakes freeze!
I love snow. The earlier the better!
Snow is a wonderful thing! Oct, Nov Dec!
Come on snow! It’s just perfect for all the holidays.
The snow can please wait till December!
It doesn’t often snow in Georgia so snow in November would be exciting.
We had snow this year on Halloween! It snowed for over 4 hours that afternoon.
I love snow! Can’t wait til we have a few snow days!
Season change and with each we can expect different types of weather. Snow in November is inevitable here in northern Illinois so I say “Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow”.
Growing up in Phoenix, AZ , living 10 yrs in Dallas, TX, and now 27 yrs in Chicago, i have come to absolutely LOVE the fall/autumn season and would be happy if winter took it’s time arriving in December and staying through February.
Snow flurries and a biting wind on Friday made me grateful for the wood pile that I was stacking to make the house warm and cozy for the upcoming winter. Snow? It will happen and it will be fun!
Let it snow ONLY if there is enough for a Snow Day!
I live in Western New York, so snow is a way of life once the end of October/beginning of November comes along. My students love it, since it means Christmas is right around the corner!
I grew up in upstate NY lots of snow and outdoor ice skating. Living in Phx Az for the past 20+
years. November means snow. I miss is so 🙁 not enough to move back of course! ……….
Any snow in Houston is usually FAKE! My students and I would love to see some real snow! It’s been almost ten years since we have seen any in this part of Texas. Just damp, cold rain here… so YES… please Santa… let it snow!!
I love just enough snow to get me in the mood to write my Christmas Letter. If that snow comes in November then I get a jump on getting my cards ready to send.
A dusting of snow is the most beautiful sight to behold…..everything looking clean and
white…..
