Snow.

[Starla*]

I hate snow. It does nothing but ruin my plans.

Granted, yesterday's snow wasn't so bad as far as snow goes. 6 inches, light and powdery; but for the most part snow makes my life miserable (work: people freak and think they're going to get snowed in until July, so they flood the store; fun: usually ruins plans to go places; sleep: hafta get up early to shovel snow).

I used to love it. Then, when I got old enough to shovel it, it wasn't so great. But the deciding factor was a particularly nasty storm in January of 1996, in which a noreaster preluded the storm.

School (which at the time, I liked) was cancelled. My stepfather dragged me and my sister out of bed at 7 am, so we could clear the driveway before our mother got home from work (she worked 11 to 7 in a town about 25 miles away). His mother, our "nanny" was staying over because of the weather, made us oatmeal.

Carly and me each had rubber boots (no insulation) that were a size too small. We cleared the driveway, once, and I asked if I could go in. I couldn't feel my hands or feet. He said, no, wait til your mother gets home.

She didn't get home until noon. It had taken her several hours to drive a distance that normally took 45 minutes.

Then, feeling even worse than I had earlier (I was soaking wet now, too). He said, no, we still had to clear more, and get the snow out of the car's engine.

My sis and me spent about 6 hours in the storm, in which neither of us could feel our feet (serioiusly, I had trouble walking), or our hands. And we were hungry on top of that.

That day was the deciding factor. I hate snow.
:angry:

They always cancel school, which always screws me up big time, because that's the only place I can see my friends, or get my work done (my stepfather doesn't like it when I do homework at home <_< ). But, they never cancel work. I still have to go there and suffer. And people are always meaner on days it's snowing.

Though, once about 3 years ago I liked it cause I went sledding. :)

I generally hate snow. White Christmases are great, but after that, I want it to go away. Right now I have mixed feelings about it—a recent snow storm came and cleared all the trapped pollution out of the air, but now it's icy and slushy and snowy. But at least I can breathe again. But now I have to clean off the car every morning.

Stupid snow.

Kama and Saxon, are you trying to torture me? ;)

Kama---I like the pictures with the buildings in them--especially the ruin.

[saxon75]

Torture? Come on, how could anyone not love Snow? The man's a musical genius! Genius, I tell you!

Detective mon no say me daddy me Snow me stab someone down the lane.
A licky boom boom down!

It's a vibrant piece of our cultural history!

Bill loves it. I hate it.

Of course, he works at home, so he never has to drive in it. He just gets to look at it and say, "it's so pretty."

Bah!

[Hobbes]

Bill's right you know.

Hell isn't a firey inferno, it's actually an unbelievably long driveway that needs to be shoveled at 6 on a Saturday morning.

[GreNME]

Where every half hour is "Saturday morning."


Yes, I hate snow. I never liked the cold to begin with, but since getting shiny new metal parts, all this weather does is make doing even the most mundane things painful. I can live with it, but I don't want to (hurt, not live).


This is one of the determining factors in me moving in a southwesterly direction as soon as I get things squared away here—warmer, drier weather is easier on the old man's bones.

[Leonide]

Ugh, I can't wait until I can move into a warmer climate. Snow is well and good in small doses and in christmas movies, but damned if i want to deal with it in large doses for the rest of my days.

Snow was great in Arkansas because it happened maybe once a year, if that often. The State highway department has maybe one snowplow, so school and work are cancelled and we spend the day inside sipping hot chocolate and watching tv.

The snow this past week was fine after the first day...after 30,000 students walk over the slushy sidewalks, they are no longer slushy, and you just see the grasses covered in snow, which is quite pretty. Though near the Testing Center, the snow didn't melt from the previous snow storm--I liked to refer to it as Hell Frozen Over.

I hate snow. Which is why I moved from Michigan to Texas as soon as I had a choice in the matter. No snow in Houston! :D

[GreNME]

My first stop out of NJ will be Dallas, TX. Yeah, I know they still get some slush and snow there (sometimes), but nothing like here, and when it's not snowing, it's totally bearable. Over the holiday season, I don't think it was incredibly cold—meaning sub-40-degree weather—until the last few days I was there. It was chilly for much of it, but the week after Christmas was balmy! Of course, by the second week of January it was getting bone-chilling, but if I move there, I can always migrate to David's for a month.

Dallas may be a pit-stop, anyway. I may move on to Arizona or someplace even drier. :o

[Strider]

and when will this be pray tell?

[Kamila]

Move to Mercury. It's very warm.

There's no business like snow business I know . . . :lol:

It snowed again that night.

I FREAKIN' hate snow!

I had driven 50 miles from my college to the township that I cover for the newspaper, and since it would be the last time I cover the meetings, I decided to stay for the whole thing so I could say goodbye to some of them since I've been a fixture for 2 and a half years.

The meeting ran late (complete with a residential screaming match!) and I left at 10:30 to find 3 new inches of blasted snow and a blizzard still raging.

So here I am, 25 miles from home, in a purple skirt, no less. It took me an hour and a half to drive home through unplowed roads, doing mostly 20, praying to the powers that be my exhaust wouldn't fall off (the center pipe busted last week, but is still hanging on) and that I wouldn't slide off the road or break down.

I got home to find that no one brought the trash cans in and that they filled up with snow and that laundry awaited me. I was up until I couldn't stand it anymore (2 am).

Then there's this:
Hell isn't a firey inferno, it's actually an unbelievably long driveway that needs to be shoveled at 6 on a Saturday morning.


So, I get up after a few hours sleep to do this (Granted my driveway isn't long) and finish the laundry so I can drive all over slushy, icy, snowy South Jersey roads again.

When it came time to go home--I was barely coherent.

And today--I slipped and fell on the ice in my back yard and started cussing a blue streak. Why does ice hurt more than concrete? I don't bruise easily, but
I got three nasty ones on my thigh.

Arizona's lookin' reeeeeeeeeeeeeal good about now.

Snow is good, because it's been less than 0 for the past few days, but it's snowing and that's making it warmer. ^_^ YAY!

Snow? That really exists?

You know you've got a problem when the snow is making things warmer.

:( *Sniff.* Not *sniff, sniff* Nice.

But it will probably be true---they're calling for rain on Tuesday, and it was above freezing today.

'Cept it won't be nice, melted snow. It'll be nasty, stinky mud.

You know you've got a problem when the snow is making things warmer.

I have to agree---I'm glad I don't live there.

And Lalito---yes, snow does exist. AND IT"S COMING FOR YOU!! JUST WAIT FOR GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE!!

Though it just might get hotter and drier where you are, who knows.

:angry:

Stupid winter. I spent 3 hours getting home tonight. I'm still cold.
