    The snow WOULD be OK if England wasn't so useless at dealing with it. I don't understand why all the transport here grinds to a halt because of a little bit of snow when other countries have far more snow than here. Plus - in the summer the trains all stopped because it was too HOT! In the autumn the trains all stopped because there were too many leaves and in the spring the trains all stopped because there was too much rain.

    Sorry - I'll stop ranting now.

    It's snowing again, but the stuff won't stay... It melts just after hitting the ground.
    I want good snow and I want it now!

    Surprisingly enough for the Canadian prairies, yes, we have snow. (That was meant to be tongue-in-cheek, for those who aren't familiar with our weather :D ) And more snow than usual.

    It's also f***ing cold. As I'm typing this, it's -40 (C or F, same thing), -52C with the wind chill. (This is way below normal.)

    You must not have to shovel it yourself from in front of the garage and around the house. Either that, or you're definitely insane. :shake:

    I refuse to answer to that poll of yours. :p Having snow means that there is cold, but not having snow does not necessarily mean that it is warm...

    La la land -- no snow and not a chance until I go skiing. Yes, I am rather pleased, as that's one of the main reasons I moved here. 70 degrees and sunny today, same as yesterday, same as tomorrow.

    In the last three days we've received about a foot of snow (in three different storms), plus about a half inch of ice in an ice storm. "Could my opinion of this weather get ANY lower? Evidently so."

    I remember that stuff called snow. Can't say I miss it tho. Since I moved to Florida, I expect to see VERY little of it ever again. Can't say that upsets me either. :)

    I really miss snow. I grew up in a state known for it's great skiing. Christmas just feels wrong if it isn't snowy and white outside.

    I don't miss shoveling it, though. Or being cold. Or it freezing my car and driving with frozen fingers. Or slipping on the ice it leaves. Or chapped lips.

    Hmmm. On second thought, f*ck snow.

    We had a regular snow storm yesterday night. And who was in it on her way home from the cinema? That's right: me.

    Actually it wasn't that bad, the snow was still untouched, and I love walking on it and seeing the trail of my own footsteps behind me.
