Try it for 4 months straight and let me know how much you like it.

I second that.

Re: SNOOOOWWW!!!!!!!!!!
Eh, snow is fun, don't spoil it for the Southerners who are getting a very rare taste of the stuff. When I look back at this long Wisconsin winter I think of:
- Igloo building with the kids
- Sledding on huge icy slopes at barely controlled speeds
- 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 ...
Re: SNOOOOWWW!!!!!!!!!!
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.
Re: SNOOOOWWW!!!!!!!!!!
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.

Re: SNOOOOWWW!!!!!!!!!!
Lol.
There's gonna be a "winter storm" tomorrow.
Up to a foot of snow.
Re: SNOOOOWWW!!!!!!!!!!
if it snowed a foot here the city would be shut down for a week, if not more.

Re: SNOOOOWWW!!!!!!!!!!
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.
Then the plows come and spew out the brown sand everywhere and it looks like Mother Nature was food poisoned and took it out on all the curbs, but let us enjoy the first few hours please.
Re: SNOOOOWWW!!!!!!!!!!
wow! 2 whole inches!
havent seen this much since 2004!
ill post some pics later.

Re: SNOOOOWWW!!!!!!!!!!
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...
Re: SNOOOOWWW!!!!!!!!!!
When I think of the Minneapolis winter in 08 I think of
- Standing in the cold waiting for the bus
- Waering 4 layers of cloths
- Spending little time outside
- Having so much snow and no alps to make use of it.
But I heard from friends that the winter has been quite tough in Wisconsin and Minnesota.

Re: SNOOOOWWW!!!!!!!!!!
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.

What about cross-country, snowball fights, fires in the snow, and other shenanigans?

Re: SNOOOOWWW!!!!!!!!!!
I hate cross-country.
But odd, now come to think of it. I never had a snowball fight in minneapolis. Weird...
Re: SNOOOOWWW!!!!!!!!!!
Tough is a state of mind. I went into this winter determined to enjoy myself, and by gum I have!
Re: SNOOOOWWW!!!!!!!!!!

Re: SNOOOOWWW!!!!!!!!!!
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.
Re: SNOOOOWWW!!!!!!!!!!
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.
Re: SNOOOOWWW!!!!!!!!!!
suckaz
Oh god.
