Snow...The Dandruff of the Sky

Mon Dec 20, 2004 2:52 am

Ah, snow. And lots of it. Now that it's winter folks, what's your nitpick on snow? Does your area get it? Do you get tons of it, and wish there was none? Or have you never seen snow in your life, but you dream of it every night and decorate your room in cotton to relive it?

Me, I love snow. New Jersey doesn't get too much, but we have the occasional snow storm.

Two words: Los Angeles. I think it's snowed about three times here in the last two hundred years.

I love snow though. I've seen it when I was up in the mountains...I really want to go back. -sighs-

I like it when it snoooows. It's all preeetty and magical and mystical and romantic...

...now all I need is a Zero-clone to share the romance with! :evil:

I've never had snow here that I remember at any time of year.

Snow is overrated.

I have a nice long argument as to why, but I'm lazy and it's getting near time for breakfast, so it can wait.

I wish we got more snow here. It seemed like we got a lot more of it when I was little.
Snow:
Beautiful when it falls
Looks great before it's been touched
Is boring after the first day

Once it's been trampled through, it's just bleh.

I wish it would snow here, because it's cold enough and I feel cheated.

Snow's only overrated if you get it constantly and know how annoying and dangerous it is for travel. Though snow is overrated, I still think it's beautiful, before it's been touched. I live in Illinois (US), and we get snow just about every year (if not every).

No, you only know it's overrated if you get it constantly and know how annoying and dangerous it is for travel.

Bah, the number of birthday parties I've had to cancel for snow...

Don't get me wrong, I love to watch snow fall, and it's beautiful untouched. But really, one snowfall that lasts two days is all you need. One day to look beautiful at first, then for the kids to play in. The second day is just to give the sled tracks time to ice over ('cause that's when the fun is). See, perfect! =D

Exactly. Where i live, its freezing cold, over cast and miserable, and instead of snowing, it chucks it down with rain. *sigh*

I love snow, it's just too fun to not like

Snow usually comes here from January onwards (usually ends in February, but there was one weird day where we got it in May), although sometimes starting in October. It's not too common, unfortunately. However...because us Vancouverites are so unaccustomed to it, it causes major traffic incidents. A pro on snow though...only 9 cm of it got us out of school last year.

Same here. I inhaled a fuzzy from my scarf and nearly killed myself, I deserve snow!

I like it as long as I don't have to be in it. I don't work well with cold weather.

It snowed here today. Normally I love it, but today I had an 8am final to get to and the snow definately wasn't helping my cause.

We never get snow here in San Francisco. :/
