Title: Snow
Post by: fb39ca4 on December 12, 2010, 05:50:10 pm
Do you love it or hate it?
I like it except when I have to shovel the driveway, like I did twice today. (At the rate its snowing, I'll probably have to shovel it again  :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: )

We get way too much here (but not this year, for some reason).  I'm nestled right up against the mountains, more than a mile in elevation.  I've had snow up to my chest on several occasions, and I'm 6'1".

I get lake effect snow (off of Lake Michigan), so I get snow pretty much every day from late December till early February.  Some years we get up to 14 feet of snow (though not all at once :P ). ;D

I like it unless I have to drive in it and it's bad or shovel it. :D

Which city? I'm near Lansing, so the snow isn't that bad. (Though I just got like 6 inches today.)

I have no choice about snow, it's a way of life up here. It makes bad drivers worse x.x
About 10 months of winter a year :(
Meh...

I'm used to it for the most part. I've lived in CO most of my life so it's a pretty standard thing in the winter, except this year (so far at least).

Near St. Joesph/Benton Harbor.

I hate snow, because it's so annoying when you work outside all day long (and have to shovel it at work). We're pretty used to it over here in Quebec, though. We get about 10 ft of snow during Fall/Winter/Spring. Last year we got about half of this (In late Feb, we saw grass almost everywhere until a snowstorm hit again, and in March, I remember we had a 80F day where we just weared a t-shirt, but in  2008 we had like 13 feet of snow. X.x

Also I would hate to drive into snowstorms, I think X.x

Also it sucks when sun sets at 3:50 PM X.x By 5 PM it's night over here from late Nov to early Jan X.x

I love snow. I was born in Buffalo and lived there for a while. So my early childhood had a lot of snow. I move down to Maryland, they get so little snow, they closed school due to the threat of snow. (It was pretty funny when it didn't snow the next day though)

Lol. Over here they decide to close the schools the same morning at last minute. You need to watch the news or listen to local radio to know. Also in some cases, they let them open anyway but they return kids back home earlier when it gets too bad. The latter sucks when the kid has no key to enter home and have to wait outside for his parents to return...

I love it and I hate it. I love it because it is so beautiful and makes the scenery look incredible. I hate it because I dislike the cold weather :/, and slipping on ice sux!!! Last night I saw my first snow of the season, but it only lasted an hour maybe and nothing stuck. We hardy ever get much snow here and it vanishes rather quickly (NC).

I have several friend who hate snow :P

We live in Utah. Our license plates actually say "Greatest Snow on Earth!" in reference to skiing. We get quite a bit some years, and I have never had an official school snow day, even though once our bus got stuck, and one year we had about 6 feet on the ground at once.

I dislike the cold weather, but if there is much (10-15 cm) i like it: no school that day!

I would love snow if it actually started snowing. I live in Oregon, and every winter it just rains and rains. Once in a while we get lucky, but the snow often turns into frozen chunks of pure ice.

EDIT: I still remember when I lived in Utah. It was awesome.

I like snow because I'm partly a weather geek. Basically any severe weather outbreak suits me. By the way, it's snowing right now in Massachusetts! :D

We get off of school for 1'' - 2''.

Today we had our first snow. It actually got heavy for about 20 - 30 minutes. Unfortunately none of it stuck. :'(

It really will suck if we end up not having a lot of snow this year because I'm a senior and I don't have to worry about extra school days at the end of the year.

Snow followed by freezing rain sucks X.x. Just snow followed by regular rain sucks too because there's plenty of water everywhere at street corners x.x

Indeed. We did that back in the days as kid, but unfortunately at school if we got caught, we had to stay after school and write "I'll not throw snowballs at other people again." during one hour and do additional homework. X.x
