I know it's not a big deal for some, but living in South Texas, we rarely see snow. It's snowing out right now. Unfortunately, it's not quite cold enough (34°F) for any significant accumulation. But it's snow nonetheless.

Kool :) wish we saw snow a little more often, though its only a short drive to ski-fields from here but still would be nice occasionally.

last time we had any snow here was in 1985 (we had over 12" and it stayed on the ground for about a week), it was a fluke, probably will never happen again.

Here in England, we have had some heavy snow in the south of the country, but nothing that sticks around for long here in the north :(

Still a lovely sight though.

Unfortunately we also have snow here. It is not because I don't like it, but we were planning to drive to south, to visit my father's home. We didn't see him for years and we have the holidays next week. I'm a bit depressed :(

Could you guys ship some snow out to me?
I have never seen or felt snow (IRL). Only the hot sun throughout the year.

I work with someone from Brazil (or Brasil ), and I remember at the beginning of this winter when it first snowed here (in NY), he stared out the window tons. I forget that some people just have never seen it. Fun to watch, pain in every other aspect (getting places, shoveling, sloshing through). Just had another 6-ish inches yesterday. Blah. Hope it's the last for the winter (it is good that we had a decent amount this year though, because we were having a bit of a drought).

Where I grew up we got significant snow (sometimes up to 3-4 feet).

But not in Seattle

Lol, it's the reward for it being cold all year, I would exchange the two weeks snow for 6 months of reasonable weather ;)

Snow? I remember that stuff, but not in recent years. It's been in the 70's to 90's with bright blue skies so far this year. I can see the snowcapped peaks from my house though.

When I was at Ogden UT a few years ago, they had 17 feet in one day just 5 minutes away in the mountains. Now THAT's a fluke lol

This is too true.

Diary of a Snow Shoveler

December 8: 6:00 PM. It started to snow. The first snow of the
season and the wife and I took our cocktails and sat for hours by the window
watching the huge soft flakes drift down from heaven. It looked like a
Grandma Moses Print. So romantic we felt like newlyweds again. I love snow!

December 9: We woke to a beautiful blanket of crystal white snow
covering every inch of the landscape. What a fantastic sight! Can there be a
more lovely place in the Whole World? Moving here was the best idea I've
ever had. Shoveled for the first time in years and felt like a boy again. I
did both our driveway and the sidewalks. This afternoon the snowplow came
along and covered up the sidewalks and closed in the driveway, so I got to
shovel again. What a perfect life.

December 12: The sun has melted all ! our lovely snow. Such a
disappointment. My neighbor tells me not to worry, we'll definitely have a
white Christmas. No snow on Christmas would be awful! Bob says we'll have
so much snow by the end of winter, that I'll never want to see snow again. I
don't think that's possible. Bob is such a nice man, I'm glad he's our
neighbor.

December 14: Snow, lovely snow! 8" last night. The temperature
dropped to -20. The cold makes everything sparkle so. The wind took my
breath away,but I warmed up by shoveling the driveway and sidewalks. This is
the life! The snowplow came back this afternoon and buried everything again.
I didn't realize I would have to do quite this much shoveling, but I'll
certainly get back in shape this way. I wish I wouldn't huff and puff so.

December 15: 20 inches forecast. Sold my van and bought a 4x4
Blazer. Bought snow tires for the wife's car and two extra shovels. Stocked
the freezer. The wife wants a wood stove in case the electricity goes out. I
think that's silly. We aren't in Alaska, after all.

December 16: Ice storm this morning. Fell on my ass on the ice in
the driveway putting down salt. Hurt like hell. The wife laughed for an
hour, which I think was very cruel.

December 17: Still way below freezing. Roads are too icy to go
anywhere. Electricity was off for five hours. I had to pile the blankets on
to stay warm. Nothing to do but stare at the wife and try not to irritate
her. Guess I should've bought a wood stove, but won't admit it to her. God
I hate it when she's right. I can't believe I'm freezing to death in my own
living room.

December 20: Electricity's back on, but had another 14" of the ****
stuff last night. More shoveling. Took all day. God**** snowplow came by
twice. Tried to find a neighbor kid to shovel, but they said they're too
busy playing hockey. I think they're lying. Called the only hardware
store around to see about buying a snow blower, and they're out. Might have
another shipment in March. I think they're lying. Bob says I have to shovel
or the city will have it done and bill me. I think he's lying.

December 22: Bob was right about a white Christmas, because 13 more
inches of the white **** fell today, and it's so cold it probably won't melt
'til August. Took me 45 minutes to get all dressed up to go out to shovel,
and then I had to piss. By the time I got undressed, pissed and
dressed again, I was too tired to shovel! Tried to hire Bob, who has a plow
on his truck, for the rest of the winter; but he says he's too busy. I
think the ******* is lying.

December 23: Only 2" of snow today, and it warmed up to "0". The
wife wanted me to decorate the front of the house this morning. What, is she
nuts!!! Why didn't she tell me to do that a month ago? She says she did,
but I think she's lying.

December 24: 6". Snow packed so hard by snowplow, I broke the
shovel. Thought I was having a heart attack. If I ever catch the
son-of-a-***** who drives that snowplow, I'll drag him through the snow by
his balls and beat him to death with my broken shovel. I know he hides
around the corner and waits for me to finish shoveling and then he comes
down the street at a 100 miles an hour and throws snow all over everywhere
I've just been! Tonight the wife wanted me to sing Christmas carols
with her and open our presents, but I was too busy watching for the God****
snowplow.

December 25: Merry F!=3D@x@!x!x1 Christmas. 20 more inches of the
!=3D@x@!x!x1 slop tonight. Snowed in. The idea of shoveling makes my blood
boil. God, I hate the snow! Then the snowplow driver came by asking for a
donation and I hit him over the head with my shovel. The wife says I have a
bad attitude. I think she's a fricking idiot. If I have to watch "It's a
Wonderful Life" one more time, I'm going to stuff her into the
microwave.

December 26: Still snowed in. Why the hell did I ever move here? It
was all HER idea. She's really getting on my nerves.

December 27: Temperature dropped to -30, and the pipes froze.
Plumber came after 14 hours of waiting for him; he only charged me $1,400 to
replace all my pipes.

December 28: Warmed up to above -20. Still snowed in. The ***** is
driving me crazy!!!!!

December 29: 10 more inches. Bob says I have to shovel the roof or
it could cave in. That's the silliest thing I ever heard. How dumb does he
think I am?

December 30: Roof caved in. I beat up the snow plow driver. He is
now suing me for a million dollars; not for only the beating I gave him, but
also for trying to shove the broken snow shovel up his ass. The wife went
home to her mother. 9" predicted.

December 31: I set fire to what's left of the house. No more
shoveling.

January 8: Feel so good. I just love those little white pills they
keep giving me. Why am I tied to the bed?

I remember one winter in West Virginia, where I lived for five years, the snow was so deep, and the top layer of snow and all the trees were covered with a very thin, crystal-like layer of ice. It was beautiful to look at. A herd of deer made their way through the woods, and it sounded like thunder as the ice broke.

Needless to say, it never snows in San Francisco, although I have seen hail here a couple of times.
