Do you like the snow?

[Icebot]

I know some people like the snow, love it, can't stand it, etc. I used to love the snow as a kid, but now, not so much, especially driving in it. What about you?

[Spike Spiegel]

Snow's fine as long as it doesn't turn to ice...

[IndigoErth]

It's ok as long as I don't have to deal with it much. Was a little disappointment that my area got gypped on the northeast (U.S.) snowstorm a couple weeks ago. We've had very little snow this year, however I don't care for it when it snows too often. I would gladly take one big snow for a week and then let Spring start.

[Gunpowder]

Since it only snows about once every five years where I am, I love it. If I lived up North and saw it all the time, I imagine I wouldn't.

I got screwed from that storm also. They cancelled work that day and we got 4". Then Monday it dumped over a foot of snow and I had to go into work. I'm prepared for it but it seems most businesses don't know how to prepare. You'd think they'd have it down by now.

Growing up in Richmond, I actually really liked snow. We didn't get it too often, and we were almost always guaranteed a snow day. My area was never too bad, but some of the students lived in more rural areas of my county, so the school buses couldn't get there easily, hence why they'd just give the entire county a snow day.

Having lived here in Yamagata these past nearly 3 -4 years...I think I'm starting to get sick of snow. It starts snowing in about late November on and off up until spring. This year hasn't been as bad as say last year, but when it does, it piles up so much and I hate shoveling. lol

That aside, I'm trying to get a new job and move to Tokyo. The winters are milder down there...similar to maybe how Richmond gets snow.

[Netkeeper]

I love the snow, always have. Only seen it a handful of times in my life, and even after being snowed in when I needed medical attention, I still love it. If that wasn't going to change my mind about the snow, nothing will. It's wonderful.

If that wasn't going to change my mind about the snow, nothing will. It's wonderful.My father grew up in New York. He loathes snow. As a child, I never could understand why. Snow, to me, was always fun to play in. For him, it meant a lot of shoveling for his parents since they got it so much and so often and snow days were a rarity (unheard of actually, according to him, when growing up). I think I get it now. lol

A person who lives in a place that seldom gets snow more than likely will enjoy it more than say someone who's faced with it all winter, every winter.

[DarkFell]

We got graupel one year. http://weather.about.com/od/g/g/graupel.htm
I've even seen some light snow flurries on Christmas Eve some years ago.
But the last time my city has seen and received any real substantial amount of snowfall was in January of 1985.
It doesn't really get cold enough for snow here.
It even feels odd to type that we're practically thirty years overdue. :'

[IndigoErth]

I have to say it kind of made me laugh (or was that a mild variation of annoyance...) couple weeks ago when the news channels were talking about NYC as if they never faced the prospect of getting snow before. :lol: Come on guys... :roll: You have seen this before. If it was Atlanta again I could understand. Ok, and maybe a city's roads are harder to clear out than elsewhere, but still.

And then people were supposedly mad over the weather emergency closure when they didn't get "enough". :lol: Silly people, I love the closures. Whole family stays cozy at home, it's so quiet outside, something that is prob rare for a city. Savor it! :D Then go out and hunt for Turtle tracks. :tlol: (But if you follow the tracks to their home at least be nice and take them hot chocolate.)

[joefsas]

Don't get snow very often in the south of England so when it does show it's face it's kinda cool :)

Hahaha, cool...see what I did......Ill get my coat :P

[MsMarvelDuckie]

Snow? What is this snow you all speak of? Please explain. (No, kidding. But as we rarely ever see any REAL snow, it's almost a supernatural phenomenon around here. Seen it all of maybe a dozen times in my entire life.)

That white crap we usually get here is not "snow" but ice, usually. Lots and lots of ice- little crystals of it that freeze, melt on the way down, freeze again, and then pile up to make thick layers of it. Then it thaws after a day or so to turn into nasty slush, before refreezing AGAIN, and it's just a nasty cycle until the weather warms enough to melt it all and get rid of it. Hate that. Cars can barely drive on it (not that anyone here knows how to drive on slick or snowy roads to begin with) and people freak out like it's the end of the world, and turn into utter idiots. I mean, more so than usual.

[Prowler]

Dunno. Never experienced it.

[Candy Kappa]

It's okay during Yule times, but beyond that I'm not too fond of snow. Especially when it causes traffic issues and delays.

ice under the snow is worse.

[BubblyShell22]

I despise the snow and always will. I hate it when the snow gets slippery and I almost fall or when there's ice underneath it. Just a pain all around.

[Leonardo322]

I like to look at the snow for part of the year, and then enjoy the Spring and Summer. Snow is okay if you don't have to drive in it.

[lindz247]

Let it snow!

[Mew]

Let it snow!
Yup!
I assume you can relate to this: NO SCHOOL!

[Candy Kappa]

I think the only time I've experienced a School Closed incident due to snow, was when I was taking my bachelor in the UK... 2 inches of snow and the whole city crumbled in chaos, trains had derailed and there was fires...

in Norway, if you are delayed by snow for school, you should not be later then 30 minutes, even if you have to dig yourself out.

[Fang Wolf]

No I don't like snow + there can be ice under it!.
(Now I want summer)

[Jester]

I like snow well enough....if I'm home to watch it fall and maybe play in it later. If I have to drive in it....I HATE IT!!!

[IndigoErth]

Ice is the worst. :ohwell: The worst winter we had was one back when I was still in high school, think it was the winter of '93/'94. It snowed a bunch, melted a little, froze up, snowed more on top, melted some, froze up, snowed more... It was like an evil layer cake of death that eventually devolved into a thick layer of ice.

I've always had rather sucky balance on ice and broke my glasses via falling trying to get to my damn bus after school. Then after I got home went to see my mother and sister who were in the backyard and quickly broke the backup pair. :x And ended up with a little bit of a black eye...

[Lethal Lullaby]

I like snow.

[Machias Banshee]

Love the snow. Gives us some snow days at work, and I just spent half the day making a HUGE snow castle/fort thing in our back yard. Machetes, Hot Mocha and blue ice makes for a fun day off. :D

[Leo656]

It's pretty through the window, but that's it. People don't go to the gym when it snows. That little "blizzard" we had last week cost me about $200 that I really can't afford to lose. Winter can go f*** itself.

[pandaderek]

I like to visit places with snow, but forget living in places that snow. I live in Southern California and I'm in a bad mood when it's below 70-degrees (and above 80). The weather in Southern California, right now, is the best weather, for me.

[lindz247]

Yup!
I assume you can relate to this: NO SCHOOL!
Uh-huh! Every year we go to a park where this huge hill is... :D

[plastroncafe]

Snow's great.
The idiots who can't drive in it, but insist on being on the roads anyway...those people I don't love.

[Luigiperps]

I would if I didn't live in freaking Wisconsin. Wisconsin sucks.

[ProactiveMan]

I've only seen snow a couple of times, but it was pretty. It only snows in a few select parts of Australia, and I don't live anywhere near them.

[TheCanadiandrome]

i f*cking hate it! enought already goddamn it! i hate how cold it is, i hate having to clean up after it! it's worse than having a kid or a pet! just plain f*ck off already! good-bye winter hello Spring!

like i saw on the news earlier, an open letter to snow which ended:

"perhaps next year we can just be friends, for now please lose my address!"

[BubblyShell22]

Yes, exactly. And we're going to get more snow this week and into the weekend. Go away already!

[lindz247]

Yes, exactly. And we're going to get more snow this week and into the weekend. Go away already!
Woohoo! Bring it on!

[AT-Man]

Snow itself is pretty COOL, but cold weather and everything that comes with snow is not.

[Whatswiththeheadbands?]

I love the snow.

[TheCanadiandrome]

it's fine only if you're not the one cleaning it

[BubblyShell22]

Going to get lake effect snow tonight. Could get three to six inches. Nooo!

[pennydreadful]

I can't vote on this at all as we don't get any snow at all where I live - not even slushy ice masquerading as snow.

[BubblyShell22]

I envy you, Penny. I truly do.

[IndigoErth]

Poor Boston has had so much they're supposedly running out of places to put it from plowing the roads. I'm sure they'd be glad to share with those without. :D

[pennydreadful]

I'd swap you in a second, Bubbly. My fondest wish is to go and live someplace where it's always cold and never hot. Someplace with wolves and a good public healthcare system. Canada? :lol:

[TheCanadiandrome]

Then....you'd wanna swap.....with me....lol :lol: :lol:

[pennydreadful]

Yes, teach me the ways of your people, CD! We'll hang out and eat pancakes and you can teach me how to say "aboot". :lol:

[Mew]

That reminded me of this:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DjbvYgxAoDA
Hehe!

[TheCanadiandrome]

well see that's an American common misconception aboot us! that's like how y'all think Tim Horton is our Prime Minister! :lol: :P :D

[pennydreadful]

Ah, I'm Australian, so technically it's an Australian misconception. :P Although we suckle from the bloated teat of American entertainment over here, so we'll put the blame back onto the US. ;)

I guess the maple syrup and "aboot" thing is as realistically Canadian as Crocodile Dundee is for Australia? Although we do have parts of the country where cane toad racing is considered entertaining, so maybe I'm just in denial about the national stereotype. :lol:

[BubblyShell22]

We've got a huge snowdrift in our front yard right now. Getting really sick of the snow, but there's not much I can do about it except deal. It sucks though.

[TheCanadiandrome]

actually we take great pride on not just out Maple syrup but our Canada geese as well :lol:

[IndigoErth]

I would actually completely love snow right now if it were to show up and do enough to force my jury duty date (this Thursday) to be rescheduled.

I'm rather avoidant of driving in winter weather if I can help it. And ice...hell no.

Naturally, they had to pick me to show up for jury duty in February, during a week that is expecting bad weather and will be well below freezing all week. The last thing I want is icy conditions on roads in a small city I'm not very familiar with when I have to be at the courthouse at 8:30am on a day where the high temp in the afternoon is expected to be between 15 and 20F. :ohwell:

Why couldn't they have picked my name in the Spring... Only once, the first time I did it, did they call me then, in May. This will be the third winter one.

but our Canada geese as well :lol:
We have a lot down here you can come reclaim. In case some seem to have gone missing. lol

[TheCanadiandrome]

buddy they're down there to keep warm! once it's time to come home they'll leave :lol:

[MsMarvelDuckie]

Wait- you mean Mick Dundee ISN'T realistically Aussie?? :trolleye::trazz::twink: JK. I've met a few Aussies, and they're nothing like that.

But I feel your pain. Most people thing all Texans run around in huge cowboy hats with boots and spurs, big belt buckles, and say "y'all" and gunna' a lot. And that we all ride horses and smoke Marlboros or something. Ugh.

Don't feel too bad, Indigo- my first jury duty summons was for- wait for it- my birthday. Yup. Talk about suckage, I had to be in a town 20 minutes away, at 8:30 AM, on my birthday. While my hubby and I lived with my grandmother, and were using her car.

[senpai]

I will roll all over some snow if it happened in Florida. But it doesn't. So that's that.

[TMNTfan2005]

snow can make traveling difficult
