Snow: The Fluffy Stuff - Page 2

WILDCAT · 12-09-2009, 07:47 PM

... the beauty of the fresh fallen snow hanging on my pine tree branches here is breathtaking.

How pristine and magical everything can seem looking out a morning window after a night of snow. Driving up the road just staring all around in amazement at all the various snow/ice formations on the trees and bushes. These times I love...
__

Shoveling can be fun and artistic for me, but shoveling when you HAVE to is a big pain in the ass - and I HATE scrapping off the windshield of my car. (When the snow brushes easily off without ice on the glass, then I'm happy.)

Sometimes the wild ass kid in my LOVES driving in a blizzard. Sometimes my logical "adult" brain side, does not find this very amusing.

*AS a kid, I did make some KICK-ASS igloos. I would spend all day and into the evening working on them (taking a flashlight outside once it got dark). My parents would have to insist that I come in after so many hours.

And snowball fights were kinda fun. (I "packed" a mean on!)

So, it's like Corkey said, a "love/hate" kind of thing. And Unn said: "ask me in Feb.". And cabin fever here is INTERESTING late winter. Plus, occasionally I do get physically snowed in!

But, burning the firewood is heavenly. Watching the fire. Feeling that kind of warmth - and then looking out the windows...

And it's here, like it or not. When I moved away from it in the past... (?) I won't say here.

It just gets stale.

Stale, now that's a good way to put it after it's been around too long.

Pretty to look at when it first falls and play in when not bitter cold

I haven't voted yet. I would like to live somewhere that snows then doesn't turn into a sheet of ice within 24 hours. It literally stops our city because 1) people aren't used to it and don't know how to drive in it, and 2) the city doesn't have the proper equipment or planning for when the snow and ice hits. I walk quit a distance between buses to get to/from work and worrying about whether I am going to slip and fall is not so fun. So...I guess my vote is for no. But I do like to go up to the mountains and play in the snow every once in awhile. In fact, my college town got so much snow each year that we snow banks waist deep. It was great for building snowmen!

Tommi · 12-09-2009, 11:01 PM

Growing up in the east, a place of 4 seasons, and moving to Southern CAlifornia (never will snow) left me longing for the snow at Christmas...

I bought a place in the mountains near Palm Springs, a two hour drive from home and driving a windy road to 6,000 ft. altitude.
Snow is now down to 2,000 ft/ and absolutely lovely to look at the mountains several hours away,,,,from my window in 70 degree weather.

I detest snow and ice. In fact, I talked to Mother this morning, who lives in Illinois, and she's snowed in today from last night's snow storm/blizzard. Her doors are all frozen shut and my sister is having to go over there and thaw them out with a hair dryer. Ugh. I hate snow/ice. Poor Mother.

~Theo~

doors were frozen closed today on my automobile. ugh. is right

torchiegirl · 12-10-2009, 11:14 AM

I love the snow. I can not wait to make a snowman....rolling it through dead leaves and poop and then seeing my favorite scarf wrapped around it's neck.....or to go to the snow hill and wait for the squallin' to start.....good times, good times (really, they are. You look back and can finally laugh at it all when you were certain at that time you were going to have a nervous breakdown)

Mindy · 12-10-2009, 11:57 PM

I would love it, IF and only IF it could snow when it was 80 degrees out, and still stay on the ground being all purdy! I just hate cold and I hate shoveling.

I feel like doing this

to people who actually pray for snow!

Bad bad bad people.... lol

Jett · 12-11-2009, 12:12 AM

Growing up in Minnesota (Minnesnowta right) I have seen, driven in... played in and cursed while being simultaneously awed by more than my fair share of the white stuff.

I don't hate or love it, but am very happy to have moved away from it.

Blaze · 12-12-2009, 05:25 PM

I love the snow, I just hop over the Yellow snow, usually left nice and pretty by the dogs!

That is when it snows here in Texas

Kimbo · 12-12-2009, 11:11 PM

It's a love/hate thing..I love the beauty of the snow and how it can transform the landscape. I love how it blankets the earth in it's powder and then nurtures the earth with fresh water that we so desperately need. I don't care for the cold and ice it brings...

amiyesiam · 12-13-2009, 12:46 AM

Last year we had just over 145 inches (in one winter LOL)
60 inches is our average
last year we got over 20 inches by THANKSGIVING

amiyesiam · 12-13-2009, 12:56 AM

I posted snow and ice on the lake pictures!!!!!!!!
in gallery

and last year a business spraypainted the word "FREE" on a huge pile of snow

TheSqueeze · 12-13-2009, 10:29 AM

I don't mind the snow so much but I do mind all of the things that go with it...the salt that mucks up the hardwood floors and stains my carpet in the car and makes the doggies paws sore, the ice that forms when the snow melts and re-freezes, the list goes on...

Words · 12-13-2009, 10:51 AM

I love watching snow fall and to see it when it's settled on the ground.

I hate walking in it though. I'm always worried it's covering dog/badger/fox/whatever shit

lee07 · 12-15-2009, 03:41 AM

Gemme · 12-15-2009, 08:19 PM
