Sowing
11.29.16 | Got our first flurries a week ago but that barely counts as snowfall
I hate everything it does to travel but I never outgrew my love for it |

11.29.16 | It's keep falling, the ~SnowingSeason~ is officially here |

11.29.16 | I've never actually seen snow in person. what does it feel like? |
Satellite
11.29.16 | when it snows here in new mexico people freak the fuck out. as someone hardened by decades of soul-crushing michigan winters it's pretty hilarious to watch. |

11.29.16 | I always meant to make an alt called snowingseason that reviews exclusively christmas albums but that never materialized |

11.29.16 | "I've never actually seen snow in person. what does it feel like?"
bags of sand |
Sinternet
11.29.16 | it feels cold |
grindcorecore
11.29.16 | so it feels like cold sand? |
Rolling Girl
11.29.16 | I snowed once like 2 weeks ago and we were in the 70s the day before.
I guess it feels like light cold sand. |
Sowing
11.29.16 | This whole conversation of what snow feels like reminds me of this:

11.29.16 | Snow is soft and so cold that it hurts the fingers touching it for too long |
Satellite
11.29.16 | it feels exactly like cold sand |
Rik VII
11.29.16 | what kind of sand do you have hahah. Snow isn't corny at all |
Sowing
11.29.16 | "it feels exactly like cold sand"
I guess this is what we settled on. What has this world come to. |
Satellite
11.29.16 | i know sand. i have the best sand. |
Satellite
11.29.16 | come on guys, we were so close to convincing a dude who'd never touched snow before that it feels like cold sand. |

11.29.16 | did actually no one get my reference or are you all just playing along |

11.29.16 | I don't like sand. It's coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere. |

11.29.16 | @chuck the latter |

11.29.16 | wait so it's not like sand? |

11.29.16 | "i want snow so i can get out of school ._."
what? |
adr
11.29.16 | lol Finns prob don't know that feel of ~too much snow vacations~ |
Satellite
11.29.16 | @artuma the harder it snows, the greater the probability of school being canceled.
is this a new concept for you? |
guitarded_chuck
11.29.16 | im stoked for some snow days, they are the fucking best
especially those days when it snows overnight way more than anticipated and you get a random stay inside and ill day |
Artuma
11.29.16 | "is this a new concept for you?"
yes this is a new concept for me. how much snow do you get there? like up to your shoulders or something? |
guitarded_chuck
11.29.16 | without snow tires or 4x4 anything more than like 5cm and its p dangerous to drive
schools get closed here if its about 15cm or more, which happens i dunno 5ish times a winter on average |
onionbubs
11.29.16 | Helllllllll yea 8 is siiiiick |
Satellite
11.29.16 | i live in a mountainous desert region now. we get snow occasionally because of the elevation but it never sticks (at least not since i've lived here). but the ppl here are soft af so classes are canceled due to snow every now and then.
but i was born in michigan and there we get lake effect snow that sometimes is up to 3-4 feet and once in a great while even more. snow days were rarely fun because we'd spend all day shoveling the driveway.
tl;dr no and yes |
guitarded_chuck
11.29.16 | 8 is sick yeah
so is 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 13 |
guitarded_chuck
11.29.16 | yeah shoveling was a bitch if it was a lot but im in an apartment now so dont have to do shit, let is snow |
wham49
11.29.16 | still in the 40-50's in Wisconsin, no snow in sight, where you at |
Artuma
11.29.16 | "schools get closed here if its about 15cm or more"
hahahaha. sure i get it it's dangerous to drive with summer tires in the winter but can't you prepare a little? here we have a law that you need to have winter tires by dec 1st or something |
Artuma
11.29.16 | shoveling sucks when you're in a rush but otherwise it's good exercise |
Satellite
11.29.16 | not when you live like a quarter mile back in the woods. fuck that shit. |
Satellite
11.29.16 | also ftr it's not like snow days are super common, even in the harshest winters. schools have a limit on the number of snow days they can take without having to make them up at the end of the year. it's not like schools are closing because of light flurries. |
guitarded_chuck
11.29.16 | "hahahaha. sure i get it it's dangerous to drive with summer tires in the winter but can't you prepare a little? here we have a law that you need to have winter tires by dec 1st or something"
depends dude. if the roads and sidewalks dont get plowed it just doesnt make sense to have little kids walking to school. people don't know how to fucking drive at the best of times |
guitarded_chuck
11.29.16 | btw where do you live art, im in halifax, i dont think theres a law on snow tires not sure tbh |
wham49
11.29.16 | break earlier and pump, and take wider turns it is not rocket science, or get a 4x4 like I have for the nice long north woods winters we have here |
guitarded_chuck
11.29.16 | i have a 4x4 too i go out in the worst storms just for fun but its the other retards that are the problem, i live on a steep hill and you can literally just sit in the window and watch these people fishtailing down it all day if theres some snow or ice down, its hilarious but yeah you wouldnt want to risk your little 6 year old dodging cars just to so they can go to school for a few hours and do coloring books, makes no sense |
Satellite
11.29.16 | yeah you definitely shouldn't pump your brakes if you've got ABS, which if your car was made in the past 20 years, you absolutely do. |
Cygnatti
11.29.16 | @artuma, dude we get like less than 5-10 cm of snow and everywhere is canceled.
...don't get me started with north carolina... 2 cm snow -> state emergency. |
TheTripP
11.29.16 | Enjoy! I live in Houston, tx it's like 75 outside right now and we haven't had snow in almost 10 years |
Satellite
11.29.16 | yeah but that benefit is offset by the fact you have to live in houston |

11.29.16 | "still in the 40-50's in Wisconsin, no snow in sight, where you at"
eastern Europe, Bulgaria, around 13-15cm snow so far |

11.29.16 | as much as im dying for summer to come by about april 1 i wouldnt give up having 4 distinct seasons for the world, always something to look forward to, always a change on the way

11.29.16 | i had a small vacation in austin, it was pretty cool, and pretty easy to fit in with. but i can't imagine staying texas for an extended period of time... their smash bros community scene is shit :/ |

11.29.16 | austin is not representative of texas as a whole
san antonio is pretty chill too |

11.29.16 | ^i expected as much. cool place, still :] |

11.29.16 | i was watching anthony bourdain in houston and it seemed like since the oil prices fell housing costs dropped there so what was once a city full of wealthy white texan conservatives is now being overtaken by immigrants lol |

i'm talking about finland. i'm now living in toronto but not for too long anymore, dunno how they do it here |

11.29.16 | the coolest. i love austin. i'd love to move there for stand-up if i could find a good job. |

11.29.16 | toronto is colder than here but less snow |
FullOfSounds
11.29.16 | It was like 60 degrees one day and then next fuckin' snow everywhere |

11.29.16 | @chuck a little update: no snow tire requirements in ontario
"In Europe, requirements for snow tires vary by country: in Andorra, Austria,[17] Czech Republic, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg,[18] Montenegro,[19] Norway, Romania, Serbia, Slovenia and Sweden, the use of snow tires is a legal requirement during winter months (usually November to mid-April) or if snow or slush is present on road surfaces" - Wikipedia |

11.29.16 | In Wisconsin we used to get snow before thanksgiving every year, now we are lucky to get it by Christmas, but it snows in April sometimes now |
guitarded_chuck
11.29.16 | yeah our winters are definitely getting shorter, like 100% its noticeable, even since the early 00s |
Cygnatti
11.29.16 | yeah, i wore shorts yesterday (~45-55 degrees F). but then i just really like wearing shorts~ |
Artuma
11.29.16 | "yeah our winters are definitely getting shorter, like 100% its noticeable, even since the early 00s"
same thing. we rarely even get a white christmas anymore but then again, in jan/feb it's a fucking hell with the snow and the coldness |
Artuma
11.29.16 | still though, we've never cancelled school because of snow |
guitarded_chuck
11.29.16 | as a kid there was about a 50% chance thered be snow on the ground at christmas and id say now its more like 25%
last year was a bit of an anomaly but it was 18 degrees on xmas day, i went to chill at my buddies house for a bit and we were literally on his back deck in a tshirt
jan feb still a guaranteed snowmagedon tho yeh |
adr
11.29.16 | I've heard it's really cold in Canada during the winter, can't imagine what's in Finland then lol. I don't think we've cancelled school because of snow either, but if it's get around -20C or something it gets cancelled, which is very rare anyway. |

11.29.16 | It's fun until your on the upper level of a double decker bus and it slides down a hill out of control into a lamp post. That was 2 years ago, scared me for life |
