Thats how I feel about the summer months HJ

It's still really cold here, it almost snowed this morning even.

Yes, snow.

...On the 4th of June....

I lived in Alaska for a few years when I was young, so yeah, I saw snow. Loved it, but don't wanna go back!

Actually the best part of snow - if you ask me - is that you can actually eat it if its pure.

I love the pure taste of ice-cold-refreshing-snow

I don't get it, some people complain about a little bit of snow, or brag about 3 or 4 feet of snow like it's impressive. Even other Canadian posters seem to have embarrassing snow.

I live in North Bay Ontario. Last year (a rather light year in terms of snowfall) we had about 6 and a half feet of snow pile up over the year. I think the most I've seen is around 8 feet there, and well over 12 feet when I went around Quebec City last year for study week.

Snow is fantastic, can't get enough of the stuff. Summer's too damn hot, bring on the cold stuff!

PS. It snowed here on Monday, June the 4th.

PPS. I win the most snow contest

I have never seen snow.
The closest I've ever gotten to it was seeing it on the mountain tops of New Zealand (South Island) from far away when I toured there with my school Orchestra in 2005.
Very Very rarely is there any snow in Queensland. Sometimes in Stanthorpe there's a bit of snow. Oh occaisonly some frost turns up.
I want some snow

Yeah it was freaking annoying and dangerous, i saw many accidents happen right in front of me because of black ice and snow but thankfully i was never a part of them.

I hate the cold, but that said i miss it as it was truly beautiful so it has its ups and downs.

How long ago did you live in Rochester?I moved up here about 3 years ago from Brooklyn NYC.

Did you move to Rochester for the Garbage Plates sto_vo_kor_2000?

I too have experienced snow having also lived in Rochester NY for about 3 1/2 years. Moved back to my hometown in CA last year. I do miss the snow. I hated the ice storms though...

Where are you at?

It hardly ever snows more than 4 inches in my part of NC.

I was born in Florida and I'm still here. I have yet to see snow in real life. I would love to one day.

I live in Michigan, so when it snows, EVERYONE knows.

Didnt touch real snow till i was 19. Just doesnt fall where i live. Gets on the top of some of the hills but that about it.
Finally at 19 i put the never touched snow thing behind me. Did the whole snow angel thing aswell which was great until a tourist bus pulled up. Felt a tad stupid.

I live in central Arkansas(Arkansas River valley area....& here we get about 1 or 2 snows a year, but it's usually not much....a couple of inches...just enough to make yards real squishy. Occasionally i've seen a decent amount. I honestly wish it would snow now. It's not even really hot here yet, & I'm getting sick of the summer heat....because here you also get humidity. Dosen't help that I have asthma, too.

Actually, I miss living in northern Arkansas, away from the river & on a plateau...less humidity, not quite so hot, & a bit more snow in the winter. Only problem there is all the trees seem a lot more gnarled than they do here.

I am surprised no one has quoted this yet, so I will due to the sheer awesome-ness of this post.

QFT

I stopped reading after this post.
That can't be topped.

I live in New Mexico and we do get snow here but not like we used to. Except for high in the mountains, it seems like snow is starting to disappear around here. I remember several years back we would get enough snow to go sledding and tubing. But now we're lucky to get even one good storm throughout a whole year.
