- Cross-country skiing
- Ice fishing with twelve other drunken dads (caught no fish, but we consumed our own body weight in beer)
- Riding around on a frozen lake on an ATV with my boy lemur
- Singing in a blizzard at the Christmas parade
Good stuff. Just because it feels old by late Feb/early March is no reason to get sour on a great season ...
Eugh, there's been snow since October up here. Go ahead and dance, Hooah. It'll probably melt tommorrow and you'll be left with a sloppy city. Enjoy it.
I'm a Northerner, but I'm definitely looking forward to it. This'll be the first serious snowfall I will have gotten since I started college, and tomorrow is my tough day course-wise. Plus, I can't wait to experience it with the knowledge that, for the first time in years, I won't have to do any shoveling. :2thumbsup:
65 here. Not a cloud in the sky.
Well put. For us Virginians it just comes often enough to make everything look just 'cool'. I know no one from Massachusetts, Canada or Finland can appreciate this, but there's something just magical about it.Quote:

its supposed to ice up tonight, but itll probably melt. dang. i dont want to take a grammar test!
EDIT: dang! theres school! curses! i hate having a headmaster from Seattle/Denver/Montreal!
Lol.
There's gonna be a "winter storm" tomorrow.
Up to a foot of snow. :2thumbsup:
if it snowed a foot here the city would be shut down for a week, if not more.
nvm
Snow is nice, depending on where you live. Here in Vancouver, we apparently don't get enough snow to warrant a lot of snowplows, and whoopdedoo we go overbudget trying to control this year.
Up in Fort Nelson, it simply snows too much to even use a snowplow.
Holy Polemioi!
I wonder if old Bloomberg won't declare this a Snow Day...
Come on, you child hater! You've got to give us a snow day at least once in your term!
It's been at least 5 years... :shame:
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
It said "NEW YORK CITY PUBLIC SCHOOLS CLOSED", so I assume that means all of them.

When I think of the Minneapolis winter in 08 I think ofQuote:

But I heard from friends that the winter has been quite tough in Wisconsin and Minnesota.
Got about 5 inches last night, and it's going to stay cold so it should stick around for a couple of days before melting. Blew off work this morning to take the dogs out in it. They are at peace. ~D
What about cross-country, snowball fights, fires in the snow, and other shenanigans?Quote:

Tough is a state of mind. I went into this winter determined to enjoy myself, and by gum I have!Quote:

Heh, unless there is a Scandinavian or a Northern Canadian here, I probably seen the most snow here, being in Russia, or Novgorod to be more precise. It is loads of fun when you are just a kid, but for an adult, it is nothing but an impediment. Pensacola, Florida, with its all-round heat, is much more predictable and pleasing. How is three meters of snow suckaz?!? We built snow-tunnels then, and that had to be the most interesting outdoor activity I have ever tried, along with freshwater fishing.
Well I guess. I got a mail from a good girlfriend over in Minneapolis that she had a tough time dealing with the winter this year. And I wondered because last year was tough for me and she didn't seem to bother.Quote:

Oh god. :laugh4:
I've been in the Swiss Alps for the past 2 months and snow has been here every day since December. Starts to get boring.
But if it snows again really well then it's gonna be fun. ~D
And plus, snowboarding was amazing in the beginning of February.
I admit I hate snow in the city since I heavily depend on my bike to come around.
But then again I love snow in the alps. I have only been snowboaring once this year so far. :sick:
The best part of winter? Zombie snow nazis.
Ein, Zwei, Die! :laugh4:Quote:

I live mostly in Vancouver, but I tend to visit Fort Nelson a lot, there, I'm Canadians now. And BC sucks at management anyways.
Also, I really hate the German=Nazi thing going on in that movie. But it does look awesome
Nope. The trailer does not say this.Quote:

I'm sorry if my link to the trailer for a very silly movie has given offense; that certainly wasn't my intent. I don't believe that a depiction of arctic zombie Nazis is an attempt to equate Germans with the Third Reich, however, any more than Saving Private Ryan or Valkyrie are saying such a thing. Less, since those are serious movies and this one is unmistakably silly.
If you would like to discuss the portrayal of Germans and Nazism in films, and the implications of it, the place to go is the Backroom. The Frontroom is meant to remain relatively politics-free.

I was think of doing my Polisci dissertation on that very subject.
They are Norwegians.Quote:

I guess it was the old man acting like everybody was goosestepping around and burning people.
well, the last remanants of snow wave melted...
And now the zombies are gone?Quote:

But one day I see a brave new world on film where German Tourists save the world against a zombie invasion.
One day... one day...
