    Snow? What's snow??

    Oh - that white stuff falling from the sky in Christmas Movies!!

    No snow here...

    I used to live in Michigan (a long time ago, in a state far, far away) - LOTS of snow, luckily for me I was too small to have to shovel!

    Can't say I miss it all that much though...

    We have snow here in Oxford (England) - and it really does suck

    Trying to walk to lectures before 9am with icy pavements is not fun, and its cold, and I have labs all day on Thursday (after my 9 o'clock lecture that is).... bring on the weekend!

    Also, I was walking back from doing some shopping when it started snowing, and I couldn't see where I was going because the wind was blowing straight at me, so I had to look away/cover my face to avoid the pain!

    Plenty of snow up in the NE of Scotland right now, will probably start to melt tommorow morning. Hope the roads aren't clear enough so that we get off school again though *fingers crossed*

    Snow's great fun - especially when you almost slip over, which gets everyone nearby sniggering at you behind their gloved hand. Oh, and smuggling snow into lessons, then putting it down people's necks and listening to the funny noises. Missing school is fun, too, and it's almost as good when there is school - barely anybody turns up, and by the day's end the runt of the school has been pushed down the snowy bank by the swimming pool several times and can barely walk. What fun! :D

    [​IMG] There's snow here. Not much, but its snow.
    And I like snow as long as I am not bothered by it. My car doesnt like snow at all, and winter, and gives me a hard time, maybe because its so old.
    Therefore I cant wait to get it over with.

    There was snow all over South Korea last week. Hated it. It snowed four times in one week, and they freeze and become ice the next day. The traffic jams on the highways were bad enough, but with all the ice the cars all slided all we had a number of collsions on the news(it was the lunar new year last week, and since almost all Koreans go to wherever the oldest person of the family is living(they live mostly in the country), the traffic jams are always incredible. in takes 14~15 hours to clear 450km).

    Wow! A foot of snow up in the Northeast, I feel sorry for you. Where I live we got at least 2~3 feet. Snow is GREAT! Sledding, sliding (driving) and even shoveling. Shoveling snow is like mowing the grass; you got to love it. And if you get lazy, you can always use the snowblower.

    For those of you that live in southern states, although you don’t get it often when you do get it, it is the funniest thing a northerner could see. A few years back during christmas break down in Fl, 2-3 inches of snow fell and everything shut down. I remeber going to a shells restaurant and we were the only people there. The waitress asked how we got there, said we drove, how? It was great. And watching the stupid blue-hairs on ice is also great.

    Snow?
    In Australia??
    Not likely. At least, not where I'm from. We've never had snow.

    Oh, and Arabwel? 'Roo herding pays very well indeed - about 200 to 300 dollars a day. And that's on a bad day.

    -30 and counting and it even snowed. It usually doesn't snow when the temperature is so cold. The white stuff usually comes for us in the lower 0 to -24ish range. Cold weather tends to be with a crystal clear sky.

    Never have sow down here :( Well only if your up in some mountian, which I certainly am not. Even if we did have snow, we wouldn't get it mid summer!
    We need snow though, it's to hot at the moment! And snow means Skiing, so therefore we certainly need snow.
