So... who here reverted to the age of ten last night and mucked around with the snow?

For all our complaining, we all secretly love it. Me and the neighbours on my street got involved in a big snowball fight in the evening after work, and boy was there collateral damage. After that, I helped my nephew build a snowman, which collapsed. Although according to my local paper, at least, the art of building a snowman isn't completely lost in this age of global warming, so I guess we're just crap at it: http://www.expressandstar.co.uk/2007/02/09/your-snow-pictures/

That first picture is pretty impressive. All it needs is some brown colouring and it'll look real... uh, I dread to think where the colouring would come from though.

So, come on, admit it - you were playing in the snow yesterday as well, weren't you?

I wish, I saw snow once. At the top of a mountain. In the next state.

I hate you for having snow. All I have is icy puddles.

It's not all fun and games. Sure, you don't get the beautiful scenery, the fun playing with the stuff, the enjoyment of throwing it at people... but, you don't get the brown slush afterwards either! And me and my car had a very close encounter with a metal fence yesterday, as well, so you're not missing much in that department either.

This sums it up quite nicely:

http://www.studip.uni-goettingen.de/pictures/smile/megawink.gif Thank you.

Fuck no!

It's been hovering around 0º F with -20º wind chills for the last week!

(-18º C temp and -28º C wind chills, FYI)

I don't go outside unless I fuckin have to! *adamant nod*

Bah! You big wimp! In my day, we used to have to walk for thirty miles to school in six foot of snow, and the temperature was -70ºC. And we had to do it naked, with our parents whipping us! Whilst walking on our hands! And juggling with our feet! You don't see me complaining, do you?!

Bah! You big wimp!

You don't see me complaining, do you?

No...

...tell you what, come on over to Wisconsin and then go play in the snow.

You won't be outside long. We'll thaw you out when you come back inside.

So, come on, admit it - you were playing in the snow yesterday as well, weren't you?
Nope. I hate snow. Walking in it is no fun at all, especially when you're a little bit drunk after coming out of the pub, and it's frozen. In fact, I'm amazed the five of us managed to get home without injuring ourselves.

What is it with you crazy Euros and snow?

Oh, sure, you're having fun now. You're enjoying the snow. But just wait, oh British one. Just wait until you're like Colorado where you're frozen in snow for close to eight weeks now. Just wait until snow is all you see outside EVERY DAMNED DAY! Just wait until snow is your entire EXISTANCE! THEN, THEN see if you start talking about having fun, because believe me, you won't. You won't.

I love it. It's part of the season.
A winter without snow is like sex without orgasm. It's there, but not at all enjoyable.
I want mo' snow!!!

Reminds me of that thread "Which supervillain are you?".
I got Mr. Freeze. So there.

So did I. The irony of me being a bad supervillain played by Arnold S-howeveryouspellhisname-guy was hilarious. To myself, anyway.

We haven't had an enjoyable snowfall in more than seven years. :(

Actually we have, but such snowfalls have consistently occurred while I was out of town. :( x 10

Come on man, why do you boring americanos not like it? Its the best thing ever!

It would be even better if it snowed a few more inches and I got the day off work along with all the kids that got off school. Still, one can dream.

No kidding, I live in the Summit County area and up until two days ago all we had was cold and snow, followed by two days at slightly above freezing and now we are getting snow again. Oh what fun

I was not not playing in the snow...

So, come on, admit it - you were playing in the snow yesterday as well, weren't you?Not yesterday, but a couple weeks ago, I made a giant, four foot wide smilie-face.

We've gotten about two centimetres of snow since the beginning of winter. It's been very cold anyway (-20º to 8º C these past two months, although before that it was regularly in the upper 10s), but no snow. Cold, and sunny. Which I can stand, I much prefer it to cold and dark.

Whats with all the snow topics? Its bad enough I have to go out side and see the crap.
