Does anyone still actually like snow?

[DemonicVixen]

I am so tired of hearing about snow. Its all i see on tv, all i see in the paper, and all i see when i look outside.
Its fine for a day or two, but not when its a total Ice Age to the point where the government are actually terrified of the risks that are now occuring. So far my mate and my nana have just lost power to their street only 20mins ago, not to mention several other areas. Our lights etc flickered but so far no power cut, but its due soon. All round the UK is facing power and gas failure due to the overload that this weather is bringing. Already there have been over 6 deaths so far (if not more since this morning).
I have pets to consider if power and gas go off. Wednesday night we had no gas after it was turned off due to suspected carbon monoxide, we only got it turned back on yesterday morning. But we've already tasted what it will be like to have no heating. If the electric goes also then we can't even use the portable heaters that were supplied to us. In other words, me, my pets and my mum are screwed. My mum is disabled and requires the heating and gas to keep her joints working, if the cold gets to them too much she risks being unable to move around at all. Obviously i will be cut off from my friends and of course the Escapist etc if the power goes because i won't be able to use my laptop (then again, neither will many others).

SNOW SUCKS! and those who still love it and find it amusing, i hope to god you start getting some of these types of problems just so that you can realise just how uncool snow actually is when its contiued for so long. Strangly, the soft white stuff is one of the most dangerous weathers you can get. My window is now leaking water, i have giant ice "thorns" outside my window (pics are on facebook though you can't see them unless you add me as a friend--Sarah Wilson), and my entire window pane wallpaper and paint is peeling off and gathering the damp because of the snow getting in. It's rediculous.

Also, for those who think that its fun just because school's are out etc, if you look at it in the long term, your work is being affected, yes its not your fault, but sadly it will still effect your overall grades if you can't get work done. Thankfully i was back into college today and loved it. Yes i was numb and cold but hey i was with my lad in a warm classroom. Now i have work to do out of college for my assignments and believe me im intending on doing them so that my work doesnt fail thanks to the snow. Already two of my assignments have to be extended so that the teacher can help us since this week they couldn't, now that means time taken off our next assignment else more then 4 assignments on the go all at once which is definately not fun.

I want it gone now.
I can't go out to get a new G string, which sucks.

My views on snow are the same as my views on Adolf Hitler: It/He's really annoying, isn't good for anything, and I'm fed up with the kind of people who say that the beauty of its/his white colour makes up for anything. The less I see of him/it, the better.

I like it here in Coastal NC because if in the rare event that it does snow, it usually only last a day before it melts. Just enough time to get your fill of snow men and sledding.

 

[PedroSteckecilo]

You pansy brits! Here in Canada, Calgary especially, Snow is a fact of life 6 sometimes 8 months of the year! Hell, sometimes it's a fact of like all 12 Months! So you at least need to make peace with snow, that or go crazy. I think most people actually opt for go crazy. Myself, I wouldn't care so much about snow if it wasn't accompanied by vicious cold.

 

[JMV]

We practically NEVER get snow here, so I would welcome it. In fact, I don't I've ever seen a single inch of snow, so yeah...

 

[wildpeaks]

I like snow (living at the bottom of the Alps would be a problem otherwise), but I sure hate ice (considering I managed to fall on my ass at the office too many times because of wet floors, icy walkways are my nemesis).

 

[Rhade]

Personally I find it's the wind I hate more in the winter, or just in general.

I'd very much love to see a God of War style murder-beat-em-up in which you go on a crusade to kill every major deity of wind ever for being so incredibly fucking annoying with their power. You go to walk somewhere and the cold isn't too bad until suddenly, woosh, you've now got a freezing chill in your face with the uncanny ability to redirect itself to usually be blowing right into your face, regardless of your direction of travel.

As for snow. The snow itself is no issue usually, but as everyone above has said, yeah, the details about said snow (lots, wet, slush, shoveling, slippery, travel-impeding, etc) as the problem. I'd say move somewhere South to avoid it but stepping out of my own shoes I don't think I'd want to move just for that...or down into the American bible belt...ever...or just to avoid some snow.

I'd buy that :-D

 

[Heathrow]

Of course, it would be nice if we'd got more than a day's worth this year.

 

[Yumi_and_Erea]

This is the heaviest snow I've had in 5 years...

And I couldn't be happier.

 

[NeuroticMarshmallow]

Its pretty to look at-But frustrating to navigate through
And I m not a big fan of the cold either.

 

[Cowabungaa]

Nope, still pretty. I do hate the cold, but I can enjoy the nice view from behind my window anyway.

Thing is though, I don't actually do anything in the snow. I don't go outside, I don't have anyone to make (hilarious) snowmen with or have a snowball fight with. It's a shame, because snow can be tons and tons of fun. That's not even mentioning skiing/snowboarding.

 

[Prof.Wood]

Snow is the best weather there is, why is it as soon as people gain the ability to drive or near the age when you can they have some sort of weird reaction and start hating the lovely snow.
It really strikes me that Canada the best place on earth deals with snow almost all year round and is fine but a few days of it in England and people cant stop moaning like someone has just pissed in their tea. So my answer is i love snow.

 

[Mr.Squishy]

Now, I'm not a cynical bastard, but this snow has taken it to far.

Myself, usually I love snow, you get snowmen and snowball fights and no college/school/work, it's all fun and games for a few days. I can't stand it anymore though, not only is it's good cousin ice trying to break my pelvis everytime I walk down the street, it also means there's no football on and my band can't practice, which we need to what with recording and gigs coming up. I'd compromise with the snow, if we could have football but no band practice it'd be all cool, but this snow is relentless, it means buisness.

So, who else has grown tired of walking, and then falling on their ass, in a winter wonderland?

I live with it like 5-6 months every year, I think it's safe to say I am starting to get tired of it..also snow covered up ice about 4 years ago and I fell and broke my arm...so you won't get any snow love from me.

 

[SD-Fiend]

we dont get much snow in central texas theres not a big enough to make a snowman and snowballs are mostly dead leaf balls

 

[effilctar]

Nice in small doses. Once a year, for two days max. Good for a snowman.

 

[ProfessorLayton]

It's got me out of school 2 days in a row so that's pretty cool. But the actual snow was never really anything special. I live in Tennessee, so when it snows it's more like ice and there's never enough to do anything in. It's just cold and I hate the cold weather.
