The first snow is here!

[Svenskaflicka]

When I went to do my laundry last night, the first snow flakes came down over my face. Awwww... it's almost time for christmas! Only 2 months away!

We don't get snow where I am. Not that I like the idea of being snowed in for several months...but gosh, it would be nice to have a white Yuletide.

 

[ungenderless]

OMG I'm so jealous! I used to live in ND and also Oregon, both for a year. I miss the snow so much!

Thank god I live south of you. I still have a few more weeks before all that cold crap hits.

I have become a summer person in recent years. I don't want that cold that is banging on the door right now. I don't want it to snow until December like it's supposed to here in New Jersey. I don't want it to snow at all ever again...

I'll change my mind a little later in the year when I am more used to the change of seasons, but for right now I would appreciate it if the snow were to just stay away for a while.

Think Snow!

my skis are prepped, overnight bag packed and favourite ski webpages bookmarked.

saw some snow this weekend on the mtns but not enough to ski

tentative opening day for Sunshine and Lake Louise ski areas, November 10

cross country skiing will be available shortly thereafter- even better!!!!!!!!

I dread winter, such as it is here - but, it'll cut short any northern travel plans.

snow snow i love snow

[3113]

damn wat am i missing

From what I understand...you're missing scraping windshields, shoveling snow, snow plows, cabin fever, putting on and taking off layers of clothing including long underwear, coats. snow boots, hats, scarves...and you're missing a mud room...among other things.

Of course, we (you and I) are also missing out on watching white flakes drift down by the windows as we sip hot cocoa by a crackling fire, sledding and skating parties.

*sigh*

Rain, rain, rain...

The new Scottish winter.

And I'm still wearing a t-shirt.

 

[Dr_Strabismus]

Yeah, but you guys do that even if it's -50 degrees out

I haven't seen snow at home for some years.

Tonight the temperature is forecast to drop to 14C.

A temperate maritime climate warmed by the Gulf Stream does have some advantages and I'm in a rain shadow area - the rain falls the other side of the hills.

I'll just listen to the gentle wash of the waves on the beach and think:

No windows to scrape

No snow to shovel

No slush

Low heating bills

I like it.

But you are insulated with porridge, haggis and whisky, not necessarily in that order.

I love snow.

I envy (I.E. hate with all of the cold in my heart/house) you...

I won't tell you, then, how often (or unoften, as the case may be) that it snows here.

I would love to see it snow here.

Not because I enjoy the cold. (I don't) Not because I would like to see all the tropical plants shrivel up and die. (I don't) But rather because I would love to see the reactions of the people here.

I'm sure that a light dusting of snow would cause panic in the streets. The stores would be mobbed worse than when we have a Hurricane coming in. There would be a state of emergency declared and people would be arrested for driving.

The National Guard would be called out to patrol the streets. People would be evacuated and Rush Limbaugh would be on the Radio declaring it is Clintons Fault.

About what happens here when we get our once-every-five-years inch of snow.

 

[cheerful_deviant]

The really sad part is, the same thing happens up here... and it snow alot here.

Every time the weathermen say "Blizzard" everyone runs out to but 10 loaves of bread and enough milk to float a canoe. Why? I have no idea but spen a winter in southern New England and you'll see it. It would almost be ammusing if it wasn't so stupid.

Oh this was so true during the 23 years I spent on Cape Cod. Then again when we did get hit by a Blizzard, (Read Nor'Easter) we got slammed.

I have heard though that it has changed a bit since I moved. Now it is not so much stocking up on food supplies, but making sure you have your State Senators Number.

Last December Cape Cod was hit by a classic Nor'Easter. It was soemthing like 18°F and they clocked wind gusts up to 100 MPH at Hyannis Airport. The storm also dumped something like two to three feet of snow in less than 24 hours.

The next day some idiot n Hyannis sent a Text Message to his State Senator as well as to the Cape Cod Times complaining that his road, (Which has a total of ten houses on it.) hadn't been cleared yet and he didn't have power.

The day after that the same idiot sent another Text Message complaining that while his street had been plowed, it hadn't been scraped to bare asphalt, and the plow driver had refused to clear his driveway. Oh, he still didn't have electricity.

This went on for several days until this idiot finally got power back. At that time he wrote to the paper and to his Senator demanding the entire electrical system be revamped so the Cape never again lost power, while asking for payment because he had to A) Shovel out his drive, and B) Carry in much more wood for his Fireplace than he normally would have needed to use.

no snow here for a few more weeks... so far sunny fall days with bright yellow leafs on the trees, so that is nice... but when there is snow, it is mainly annoying. snow is nice in the countryside and when you don't have to leave the house. snow in a city is mainly just wet mud that makes all your clothes dirty and wet and then when they clean the streets, they push it on the bike lanes, and when they clean the walking ways, they push it on the bike lanes, so the bike lanes just consist in a huge pile of ice and snow and mud.

Makes you want to institute some legislation allowing people to smack people like that in the face every time they act up.

Astonishing. Snow ain't all that dangerous. Only fucking annoying.
