By and large, I'm not a snow kinda guy. It's nice in small doses, and for snowboarding, but I can't stand it when it's freezing and everything is covered in snow and mush and I have to clean off my car at 7 AM and the sun isn't even up yet. I wish I could afford snowboarding

Would you like some cheese with that? ;-]

It's all snowy here too!

Yipee!

Alas, I will be locked up in the library all day not appreciating natures frozen beauty.

Mike, many people consider calling someone a "cracker" rude.

Thanks for the pictures, it looks so nice with so much empty (from houses) space all around.

Those icicles are sick!

I'm so bored, screw snowdays.

slapdash21 · Post by **slapdash21** » 09 Dec 2005 13:02

bah! screw you! we got school and we shouldnt have. there was one point, waiting for the bus in half a foot of snow, wind blowing me literally over, at what felt like roughly 45-50 MPH, massive flakes blasting me in the face, i actually thought i was going to die right there.

It's been freezing here lately. We've had snow for about a month now. Not lots, but the first night it was a huge blizzard and everything was cancelled, busses weren't running, cars got stuck in backlanes, and I had plans to hang out with a friend and ended up ducttaping my boots up and walking like an hour and a half in it @_______@ (knee-high trudging the whole way)

Oh, don't be fooled, the video is from years ago and I think it was taken in late spring... We have much more snow than that...

I have only seen snow in person once in my life. It wasn't soft and nice and fluffy like in the picture books. It was cold hard and painful

I'll stick with my summer heat, I don't like it when it's raining, let alone snowing. Actually rain is a good thing, considering we're in a huge drought... such different worlds...

I LOVE SNOW! And I am finally back in a state where it happens. I missed it SOOOOOOOOOOOOO SO SO much down in Georgia. It's not really snowing now, but it did 2 weeks ago.

@ Matt: I wish I could afford snowboarding too. My jacket is finally way to small for me to even wear this year. My board is cracked in the front, one binding lost the back panel padding, and the other has a snapped strap ducttaped back together.

It's time for new supplies...I wish I could find time too.

I love snow! I'm from Cape Breton, so I'm used to getting LOTS of snow by the ocean. I loved in TO for the last couple years during winter - which sucked because the winters in TO are so pathetic.

Maybe 1 or 2 decent storms all year...however, now I'm living South West of toronto, in a town called Strathroy - I guess this town is in a 'snow belt' - but I'm loving it so far!

We got about 4 or 5 decent snowfalls so far, about 60-75cm if I had to guess in total =)

I just got those Reflex winter blades the bad actor from the canadian tire comerical promotes - well actually I got one refelx and one regular winter blade on the passenger side - the Reflex works great =)

It finally snowed here in Chicago. It snowed last week, but nothing significant till yesterday.

Yesterday we went skitching and sledding! (Skitching is when you hang on to the back of a car with your feet/body on the ground/sled.) So FUN!

Today I went sledding again!!
