Snow....

[Hax]

I love snow. Unfortunately, we have to little of it here. However, itis snowing like crazy now!

Snow snow snow!

You don't get much snow at the Kremlin?!?!

We live within a mile of the Lake Erie shoreline and received 2-3 inches of snow over the weekend, most has melted. However, up on the Chautauqua Ridge, several miles south, they have had up to 30 inches already. Cold Canadian air coming across the open and relatively warm waters of Lake Erie can produce substantial amounts of "lake effect" snow. Depending on wind direction one area can be experiencing a white-out blizzard, while a mile or two away there's nothing. I like the snow better than the mud, but like everything else I prefer it in moderation.

My nephew checking out the aftermath of a "lake effect" snow storm up on the ridge a couple of years ago.

Best thing is to hike around in the snowy woods! Did it yesterday...beautiful!

I do not like the mud when it starts melting though.

I THOUGHT IT WAS SNOWING IN MY LUNCHTIME....to realise it was just hail when it blinded me

We rarely get good snow over here, most of the time it's just a tiniest bit that melts in the morning hours, adding wetness to the cold temperature.

And frankly I'd take a mild winter over snow and ice any day of the week. Snow is only good for skiing. Winter sucks, and I haven't even mentioned the depressingly short daylight.

where I live... it NEVER snows!

I've only seen snow once in my life

[rajpoot]

They say it snowed like hell ( :P ) the day I was born..........then we moved to the hottest state in the country, which is all desert, so I've never really seen snow. Was hit really hard by a golf ball sized hailstone once, but never snow.

Snowed the day i was born, loved it as a kid, mixed feelings now as an adult, i hate the freezing cold weather that comes with it but snow is lots of fun even if its just walking across an unspoiled patch of snow...

In uk we hardly ever have snow anymore, i remember a little bit as a kid but these days its a rarity to even get one decent covering of snow in a year, usually we end up with mostly slushy crap that makes walking hazardous...

Last year at the one day "great snow of Buenos Aires" I guess?

Agreed. Counting down the depressingly many days until spring.

There's no snow here, but the fog is unbelievable, I can barely see a metre past my window...

neither can i, not because of fog but because it's dark by 2pm where i live, about 4 hours of sunlight a day presently

[Martok]

We got maybe 1/4 inch this morning. Not so much that it stays on the roads, but just enough to be pretty.

[Rhyfelwyr]

I could appreciate the winter more if it wasn't for exams...

Can't wait for afternoon on the 16th!

[seireikhaan]

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow...

I went to an indoor wintersport hall this weekend in Bottrop, Germany. Since I can sky well enough and because it was a small piste, I decided to learn snowboarding. Boy that was painful...damn tailbone.

snow rules, i dont get enough of it though

[lars573]

Are you kidding me?! It's bad enough as it is right now up here in Canada, but when the dead of winter hits, we'll be trudging through a meter of snow. I'm not joking, man! I wish it would stay autumn forever. Autumn is the best, most beautiful seaon. Shame.

lawl. We had snow here in eastern Canada for 3 days. Right now it's 14 (that's spring time warn for you none metric types) and raining. There won't be any snow till after the wet season. End of the month that is. I also prefer winter, spring and autum are far too wet and miserable. And summer isn't fun if your allergic to pollen.
