well, there's a mountain in my country that has considerable amounts of snow in the winter, but the drive is 1.5-2 hours... other then that, a couple of days in the year there is snow in my country's capital, so its not like we dont have any snow, at all.
however, the last time I saw snow was more then a year ago when my entire grade had a trip/journy to poland, so saying that I get my yearly fix of snow is bullocks....
however, we do get 11 months and 25 days of summer here...
