what is wrong with people who like snow

[Wo0p]

In the grim darkness of the 60+ degrees latitude...

 

Spoiler

There is only snow.

 

[yakfak]

mnnn my last summer before the jetstream collapses and it's all snow all the time <3 rubbing hands together in ironic glee

[DynamiteKaitorn]

I love snowy environments. <3

[jmac]

I'd like to know what's wrong with the lunatics who don't like snow. Are you really that scared of a bit of cold?

 

Spoiler

Here's a view from my window right now. Currently -34C.

In the interest of snow I made this for crispy using a 256-256 scrolling texture action 48 lol 

 

 

[DankMetal]

I live in the middle of the desert, so i don't know how the snow feels.

/s

[Doomkid]

I love snow! It has the courtesy to stay far, far away from where I live   c:

 

til nuclear winter anyway, but whatever

[Individualised]

I hate summer. Surviving in any temperature above 20 degrees Celsius is a sensory nightmare for me, and I always get sick due to allergies. I would take snow any day over all of that.

Snow is the best and I wish the world would turn into a frozen hellscape.

One reason I love northern Nevada so much is I can have both 

 

I grew up in neither snow nor desert so they’ve always been fun things I could go drive over the hills to check out. My buddy from Wausau would always say much the same thing about how I’d love snow less if I had to blow it off my walk and shovel it off the roof every day, so I can sympathize

I think I'm just acclimatized to heat. I was born/grew up in Florida (which I've been told tracks..), lived in Hawaii for a few years, then to Australia back in 2008. I love the beach and swimming and cold water/cold winds make those torture lol.

 

Even in some outback towns there's nice public pools, jumping in on a hot day is one of the most refreshing feelings there is, and it's amazing to be able to get that in desert surrounds, especially during a sunset..! I think a lot of people don't know there are snowy bits of Australia though - the snowy mountains. That's where I first saw snow and it's gorgeous, but I wouldn't be able to live in it..

Because that leads to hard-packed snow that becomes ice. It's a safety hazard. Also, where I live, some years the wind can create drifts that are 4+ feet. Try "just walking" through that.

"Just walk through it," they said. "It'll be fun," they said.

Snow is non-existent where I live, so no opinion.

[leejacksonaudio]

We'll be lucky to get a half inch of frozen precipitation in the next few days here in the Dallas/Fort Worth area.

 

And people will complain.

 

Hell, it damn near killed me a few years ago. I stepped out on the back patio to check something and hit a patch of unmelted ice. SLIPWHAMFACEPLANT!!! Got a concussion from falling face forward. Broke my glasses. Hurt myself bad, and I was all alone at the time with no one to hear me. I had to crawl through the house to get to my cell phone in order to call 911 and get an ambulance to take me to a hospital.

 

Yeah, ice? Me and it are old friends. NOT.

[Rykzeon]

My country is tropical climate, which only has neverending hot weather or rain that can sweep out your house if the rain is big, so I think snow is good and just a fluffy cold thingy that makes you sweat less often.

[Geniraul]

- Man, these snowmen must be completely out of their minds!...

I hate snow so much. Global warming needs to work faster.

[VoanHead]

This midwestern weather so far sucks balls. As of this moment, it’s currently below zero here in Illinois and it’s gonna last throughout most of this week. Glad I’m just spending as much time as I can indoors while trying to go out as little as possible that I’m required to. Snow is cool for like the days when it snows and it looks real pretty outside, but then the days after when it doesn’t and we have to clear it out everything starts to look like grey, disgusting smoothie.

Ooh, a cold-off!

 

I started the day at -24 F (-31 C) and windchills near -50. That was in Murdo, SD.

Fortunately the car started OK, but that sort of temperature makes everything behave and sound weird. I drove south through Nebraska, where Valentine described its puny -16 as extreme cold and warned people to be careful.

 

Funny that Minnesota has so far avoided pretty much all the severe weather, and has had an unusually mild and almost snowless winter so far. Even today it's only somewhere around zero back home. (I think I truly became a Minnesotan that day when I said completely unironically "It's warmed up nicely" when it hit -4F and the wind died down.)

I personally love snow and the north, and prefer it over summer. I'm biased as a redhead, though.

 

If you live in a location that receives a lot of annual snowfall, then odds are your municipality has the means to adequately address winter weather and make it less of a boon for day-to-day activities.

 

Plus, it's an essential function of nature that gives some of us around the world a vital supply of water, both of which are being increasingly threatened by climate change.

 

At the same time, I'm realistic, and acknowledge that it's pretty much only ever been an obstacle for us, which creates a lot of terrible public hazards, and triggers seasonal depression for a lot of people.

[spineapple tea]

It snows once a year here in DFW if we're lucky and it always fucks my school district's calendar up and gives us like a full week off of school. I'd be stupid to complain about that. We have today off since it's MLK day but I've already mentally prepared for having at least tuesday off in advance since we just started getting snow tonight.

 

Also (and unrelated), @genitalgrinder is your username a Carcass reference? Very cool if it is, that's one of my favorite bands.

[ClumsyDoomer]

Snow is fine unless it's freezing 8 months a year, and the snow just accumulates. Mountains of it. You grow tired of the cold, you forget what sun and grass look like, and it's only getting harder to walk and drive over time. If snow doesn't stay for longer than week in a row, you've got the good type of winter.

Funny, would really collect snow for your water supply? And not ice blocks from rivers and lakes, like the actual people of the desolate north are doing?

[Astar]

I love winter and snow, I associate them with childhood and pleasant memories of the past. Winter views make me nostalgic.

 

But ngl, where I live now (next to the fucking ocean) in the winter the wind sometimes just rips your face off.

And I don’t really like this aspect of winter.

Yes, you really would collect snow, as both are valid methods of collecting water. It comes down to your geography.

 

In fact, fresh snow is often (but not always) safer to consume than untreated, frozen water.

 

A phenomenon called "snowmelt runoff" happens in high places such as mountains, the snow will eventually melt, and the water runs down to reservoirs, wells, and other collection sites for our use.

 

To my knowledge, this is a significant source of water along much of the western North American coast, as high as Alaska.

That's just sad. 

 

Now it's march, and now I don't think there be anymore snow. It barely snowed this year.
