I want SNOW!

Post by **Usivius** » Fri Dec 01, 2006 1:36 pm

OK, I know many outside Canada may have the image of us having two seasons: winter and July, but for most of us in the huge country its just not snow --- uh, so.
Anyway, for the last two days here in Toronto it have been pissing rain. Tempratures bouncing between 4 and 15 C (that's about 40 - 62 F I'm guessing). Now I know some parts of Central Canada have gotten lots of snow (drew? how are things in the 'Peg?), and I for one am terribly jealous! I want SNOW! Not this crappy rain! You can't do anything in rain! Especially not when it's cold.

Gimme snow! I want to toboggan down the local hills with my daughter. Make snow forts and throw snowballs at my family...

Anyone else?...

You can have ours. I live northwest of Chicago and it's really coming down now. It started overnight. There's probably 7 inches of snow (18 cm) now on the ground, and it's supposed to go on for the next 4 hours.

Snowflake-hugging hippies! I hope Georgia has no winter at all, as I must venture beyond my domicile for jogging. Jack Frost is an asshole.

Yeah... I would kind of like some snow here too. Just an inch or two would be nice. It'd be a lot more fun than this lame 60-70 degree weather. Hello, it's December.-jay

I have never ever seen snow in real life.

We just got about 7-8 inches in my town. Looks like a white Christmas!

Where do you live?

Man, I'll never forget the Georgia blizzard of 93. It was late at night and we were like, "Oh, here's a few flakes, neato."

Next morning: trees fallen over--EVERYTHING white. Mountains of snow! Was fun when we had to use the fireplace for food. Gave Ramen noodles a nice flavor.

The snow storm is done here now and the sky is blue. A foot of snow to shovel now though.

I guess that means you've also never had your car door (or locks) frozen shut, or had to scrape ice from your car windows with a credit card because you hadn't bought an ice scraper this year, or slipped on the ice going to your car and fell on your tail bone (um... ouch)(falling in slush=wet butt for the rest of the day=unhappy Waddley) or slid in your car on the ice into a sidewalk, or had to get studded tires or chains for your tires just go get to family's for the holidays, or had to take a detour home because they closed the big hill that you usually take, or had everyone call in absent to work because they were afraid of the 5 minute drive through the slush.... or.. ya know.... any of that

When I'm in the snow, I always remember this sage advice from Frank Zappa:

"Watch out where the huskies go, and don't you eat that yellow snow"
