I adore it. Here's a picture of the first snow that fell here 10 days ago.

Hmm.

It actually DID snow in LA around 4 years ago, and that was truly magical. But, like most LA natives, I usually don't get that Wintery feeling until a ski/snowboard trip is planned, and an hour long drive up the mountains is made :p

It just gets in the 30° range at night here. No snow. Everyone goes to Lake Tahoe to get their snow fix.

It doesn't even get below freezing here yet - even at night.

Do you feel like you are missing out by not having the four full seasons?

Can actually see snow from my backyard in the surrounding mountains :-) Was 40 degrees here the other day.

Snowboarding the rest of this week

We got three inches or so yesterday evening and are forecasted to get 6-9 more tomorrow. Hurrah, Minnesota.

I like snow when I don't have to drive or do anything. Otherwise it can be a bit of a danger/annoyance, but I over all I like it. It hasn't snowed much at home yet, but it snowed a bunch in Buffalo when we were on tour.

Ahh the tales I could tell of upstate NY and snow.

But we got a pretty light snowstorm yesterday. Didn't really stick, but came down for hours. Not cold enough.

I do love me a White Christmas.

Re: It's snowing...
 
michigan winters are quite odd.
one second we'll have a snowstorm and the snow will stick around for a week or so, then another one will hit.

not to mention, this is the coldest winter i think i've ever experienced in my lifetime.

Yeah, I had friends who went to Syracuse and now live in Rochester. They certainly know a lot about it! I think the coldest I've ever been was in Syracuse in February. -15 or so the two days I was there.

Re: It's snowing...
 
Fuck snow. I drove home early today to avoid the afternoon shitfest. And it's not going to just disappear by tomorrow. It was slippery today from home to work. I even slid past my parking lot, and NOT on purpose.

Ugh.

Snow used to be cool. Now I hate it.

Stupid snow. Makes it such a hassle to catch the bus

Snow is one of those things that is nice when you don't have to drive, work, go to school, or live in a major city. Sure..Chicago looks nice WHILE it is snowing, and even the next 12-24 hours after. But then it just gets dirty and the streets get slushy and it makes walking a pain in the ass. The suburbs retain the beauty of a good snowfall, and I am not working, and I am on break. So right now snow is not bothering me. However...back when I had to drive to school or to work, I hated the snow.

Also, the winter has been mild thus far. I think we hit single digits for like one night, but so far it's been pretty warm. I'm waiting for that cold snap where we have 30+ consecutive days of no temps above 30 like we've had for the past year or two.

KillerGremlin 12-17-2008 07:37 PM

Re: It's snowing...
 
on that note....
weather dudes say 3-7 inches of snow tomorrow night, whatever that means

also, we have had some good snow early this week, as well as a little a week ago.

Snow and Eggnog, they get you in the christmas mooood.

I just got back from living in Ucluelet, van island for 2 months. Not until the last two days did it freeze. I had my first snowboard today, decent snow this time of year to be honest. My buddy broke his rib though. I primarily ride Big White and Silverstar but the new look at revelstoke mountain's got me. I'll probably ride it a halfdozen times cuz it's only 2 hours drive. I love BC cuz a few days ago I was surfing and now it's snow everywhere. I want to hit whistler this year before all hell breaks loose next season. all I want to do is snowboard.

meteorologists are calling what toronto is going to be hit with this weekend the "snowmageddon"...we're expecting a good 50cm of snow (that's 20" to you yanks)...so...umm...yeah...stop complaining...

by the way, if you don't hear from me ever again, i'll probably be frozen to death (See: Day After Tomorrow)

You know what to do: camp out in a library and burn all the books you can find.
