Snow

[Trek]

sledding is pretty great

I actually broke my femur while sledding. They moved the hill the subsequent summer.

One thing I do like about snow is cross country skiing, it's like taking a fast walk and is super fun.

[Daniel990]

it's like very clumpy freezing cold sticky wet firm sand. Trust me, you are not missing anything. Snowball fights are no fun because it takes hours just to get a small snow fort up, making a snowman does not work because the snow is all lumpy as you roll it, sledding is pretty great, but you got to make a long climb to get to the top and when you fall you get covered in it, skiing is too intense for me*, and frankly the best thing is just sitting by the fireplace with a lukewarm can of coke, then taking a hot shower, then getting into PJs and playing vidya games.

I am so thankful for the freakishly warm winter. It's like, 4C here as well, and there is no snow in sight.

SHUT UP SHUT UP.

Aaaaaah I want snow :<

I live in Virginia, so I typically get snow at least once each winter, if not several times, but this year the weather just decided to be a jerk. It's been freakishly warm all winter-- ever since about halfway through January, it's rarely dipped below 60. It hasn't snowed even once.

Which is really annoying! I mean, I love warm weather as much as the next guy, but occasional frozen precipitation would be nice.

The worst thing about the GTA

There is snow all around you while you have none.
STUPID LAKE

I get snow like once a year, and it melts before it can get muddy, so I am still of the opinion that it is pretty much the best thing ever.

Also, my city is completely incapable of dealing with snow, and very hilly besides, so it pretty much shuts down for a day or two.

[Coasterman29]

It's hard to ride my polar bear to school in these conditions, he just gets so hot.
And fuck, my igloo is starting to melt a lot again.

[babyYuui]

I never seen snow before ;-;

@everybody that havent or barely seen any snow yet;

You all are lucky

@everybody that has to shovel their ways out their houses, freezing at the bus station, needs rather expensive warm clothes, spend tons on winter tires, cant ride motorcycles or bikes 8 months a year, gets all wet outside just before work, must face that endless stream of this white abomination and yet have to face 1 or 2 other months for it to dry out;

dont give up, there is more to come

There's lots of snow here, at least a foot on the ground! (Eastern Ontario) It's not so bad to deal with--we're used to it by now--but the driveway and walk are pretty much coated in a couple inches of uneven ice. :\

[Toshi]

It snowed in October, once. Then all the snow just shows up in January. But now it's melting again? I understand jack shit about the weather.

[gentletheater]

the only snow i like is


other than that the cold white shit that comes every year is some evil shit.

[ValkonX11]

Doesn't snow here.

About once a year we'll get hail, though.

It rains through just about all of December.

[PaladinFoster]

I live in North Carolina, where the weather does pretty much whatever it feels like. Though it does tend toward blazingly hot summers and mild, if somewhat frosty, winters, it's been rather unseasonably warm lately. Not even any freezing rain this winter. Last winter it snowed on Christmas Day and we got nearly 3 inches. I'm totes jealous of Europe with all it's snow and stuff. I need a good, long break from school.

[Kíeros]

So, we finally had some snow here this year. Very little; not even an inch, nor was it sticking to the roadways at all. Guess what we encountered?
Not one, not two, but three extremely stupid drivers getting in accidents.

As much as I love snow, how people drive in it here is insane!

[Coasterman29]

It's starting to warm up here, and we probably got less than a foot this year in Mississauga.

I would rant about it and Saskatchewan and the Territories and the US, but I don't think most of you like it when I rant so yeah

*lives in Saskatchewan*

I'm curious as to what you were going to say. Not many people know about Saskatchewan and fewer know how to spell it.

EDIT: Jegus I keep forgetting I have an avatar now, keeps freaking me out seeing it next to my posts.

[TheSpiritofWolf]

I've been getting snow off and on here- which is sad because it's February, in Canada. We don't have as much snow as other provinces, but where I am we usually get a fair amount (enough to keep the buses off the roads, at least). But this year, the most snow I've seen is in the arena parking lot across from my house. -_-'

forever sun here in singapore you lucky derps >:c

[Isoraqathedh]

I have seen snow in Beijing, once.

From this data point, I observe that snow is black and shiny, and has absolutely no give.

SHUTUPSHUTUPSHUTUP YOU'RE TOO PESSIMISTIC.

SHUTUPSHUTUPSHUTUP YOU'RE TOO PESSIMISTIC.

There's no pessimism there...? I used to live in germany and that was pretty accurate during the winter.
Snow is only really great for the first 5 minutes. Once you get too cold for snowfighting or playing around it's just horrible white shit.

I'm sorry dear, but snow is simply cold white feces.

[indielowercase]

This is what happens when it snows in Western Washington. It doesn't snow here often, and usually doesn't stick for more than a day. But last month we had around 2 feet of snow that stayed for a week and a half, resulting in pretty much everything being delayed or shut down. The snow melted then froze, downing trees and power lines all over Olympia, with some neighbourhoods blacked-out for 5 or so days. We called this "snowpocalypse," mostly because we have no idea what to do if it snows besides put on thick socks in rain boots and hope for the best. And drive badly.

OH MY GOD IT'S SUDDENLY SNOWING

I looked out the window, like, ten minutes ago, and there was nothing! How could it be snowing like crazy so quickly!?
