.. SNOW?!

[Crono]

Well well, it snowed here today. Not cold enough for it to stay on the ground (like, wet snow), but it still snowed (I attached a pic, you can see this wet snow).. Also I heard Edmonton, Alberta got hit pretty hard with snow a couple days ago (I think).

Anyway, seeing as winter is just around the corner (I guess, depending on where you live):

1. What is your favourite thing about winter?
2. Do you like cold weather?
3. How much does it snow where you live, and how cold does it usually get?

Honestly I am a winter type of person. I like the winter for several reasons: 1. no annoying mosquitos 2. outdoor skating rinks 3. snow just looks nice. and 4. hockey. I like it cold outside, but not -35 + windchill freeze my ass off kind of cold. And it snows a lot here, and often we get lower than -30 temperatures.

Also today was pretty damned cold here. It was around -2 for the whole day, and -5 over night. Proof: http://www.theweathernetwork.com/wea...s/CAON0664.htm
Though it's gonna warm up next week apparently. It felt really cold because we're not used to it yet. And I had to work tonight... in the cold (I work at a full service gas station, being the reason why I work outside). And... I dont know about you guys but this part of the world had a CRAPPY summer. I mean, one week in August is was like.. cold. I woke up one morning, my window was open and I was freezing my ass off. So, I think we're in for a brutal winter. Lot's of coldness, lot's of snow.

And yes, I took this picture early this afternoon, I was driving.

Usually, it doesnt snow here, its too hot.

I think last year we onyl got like....a few inches that stuck on the ground.


I miss when it used to snow here.

My favourite thing about Winter is Christmas, and the unusual good mood everyone is in around then.

Cold Weather is alright, it doesnt really bother me.


Wow......-2..

I played soccer today, and it was 13 with windchill.

About 28 inches of rain around my parts YEARLY. I usually see a bit of snow on top of the mountains surrounding me for a week or two in the middle of winter.

I love cool weather though. Maybe it's because it's not so often that I get fripples.

Average Winter Temperature is about a blistering 50 degrees fahrenheit

After December 10th, I'm really hoping that it snows EVERYONE IN BC in! That would be so damn awesome. I don't have school for two months anyways. If I'm snowed in for two months I might be able to finish all my RPGs!

Here in Vermont it's starting to get pretty cold. During the day it gets up to about 55 and night it dips into the mid 30s or so. While this is my first fall here, I have heard that it snows A TON here and I do look forward to that because I love snow. Though because our school has a long field work term break from January-mid February, we miss most of the coldest and most snowy months, which is probably for the best.

I like the concept of being 'snowed in'. It reminds everyone that we're all nature's b*tch.

I like winter because of rain. We don't have snow here in my city but I can get to some in about a 3 or 4 hour drive. But today we had one of our first rains and it was really enjoyable. I like looking at it and listening to patter on the roof. It's nice listening to it while positioned in bed too.

It snowed in Prince George so BC is seeing snow now too.
