Yay! Snow!

[jelanen]

YAY! I love winter and I love snow. :D I am a goofy Californian in PA....and... I've never really seen snow before. I took a picture! http://www.deviantart.com/view/3977469/

Yay for snow! I got hit by a snowball and it was great. Heh. I am all wet from the snow now and I need to finish a painting. I put off my project for snow. *hops* <3

[OLSEN]

I hate winter and i hate snow. but then we only get 2 or three months of summer here, the rest of the year this country is freezing tundra (well, not really, but it´s far from California..). Im glad youre glad, but im not. :rolleyes:

The problem with California (or where I live, Bay Area) is that it feels so cold like it could snow any minute. It just doesn't. But I used to live in Colorado, so lots of snow. I still love snow, and the ocean. But you can't have both, right ;).

You never went to Tahoe?

[Redder]

The problem with California is when the temp. is between 68-70 its freezing!

[jelanen]

Heh. I am used to SoCal were the summer is like 110ish, in the desert and I -hate- heat. I love the cold... so all excited by this white stuff.

Mos- nope, never been to Tahoe... I've never been camping. I am all deprieved. :p At least I've seen snow now.

Olsen- hehe... you should move to Southern California then...would love the weather there. ;)

Redder - :p

I have lived in New York state all of my life and I couldn't imagine living somewhere without snow! We just had our first snowfall last night that actually stayed on the ground. It wasn't much, just a dusting, but I can't wait for more.

Jelenan: You may not be as excited the first time you have to dig your car out of five feet of snow, but I am glad to see someone enjoy the snow as much as I do.

Skiing's one of my favorite things so I like snow. Can't wait for Friday; first day of skiing.

[tarwater]

I've lived in Texas my whole life, and I've only seen snow a handful of times. It never lasts for more than a day, and never gets more than a couple of inches, but when it happens (once every 2 or 3 years), it rocks! Work and school, usually get called off, and all day you can just run around throwin' snowballs.
I wish it would snow. At least you Californians have a beach.

[kungfu_chook]

suuuure its snow Jess, you just flicked your toothbrush on the lens. :D

hmmmm have to post next challenge huh....

[talmir]

hehe, how do you think I feel. I live in "Iceland", no really... look it up on a map.. in between norway and canada, that little speck there.. it's iceland.. well, maybe not a little speck but still bloody cold. Two months of warm weather (10c). Sometimes the snow gets kneehigh here, but rarely.

[Mr. Teatime]

Well here in southeast Idaho it gets frickin cold and then doesn't snow for a long time, and when it does it suddenly gets warm again, melts, then gets cold. The system is agains snowboarders and skieers and snowskaters.

Everyone here gets exited when it snows 2 inches, and then that disappears. Then they get excited again for another 2 inches, 3 weeks later, and then that melts. You get the picture.

[Skank]

we're up to about 5-6 inches of snow here in alaska...
it wont go away till the end of may...snowboarding is fun...but thats about it...winter is a pain in the ass, ive never had a winter without snow in my life....im movin..lol

[kungfu_chook]

well i'm in Sydney, and i've never had a winter WITH snow! It's spring here and we've just had bad hail storms rip the crap out of a couple of suburbs about 3 weeks ago. They hailstones were around the size of baseballs!

You get hail? We don't even get hail.

[kungfu_chook]

you DONT want hail, well not that big! it smashed up cars, shops, even the weight collapsed roofs on some houses and shops because of the weight. Our houses aren't built to cope with weight like that, it never happens it was freaky

[defcombeta]

is not California a warm place, all year round, what is cold there, 20 degrees, that our summer, hell right now its about 2 degrees out and about 8 degrees inside, i think, ( turned of the heating half a hour ago before heading to bed.

still when i move state side im heading some where warm , no snow, no need for central heating or woolly clothes, i want heat , sun and lots of beautiful women ( ok last ones a optional but hey it cant hurt :D )

I think Redder said it the best.
California is pretty nice year round, except winters ;). They are FREEZING! (60+)

It just hailed in LA last week, remember? With that five inches of rain and crazy hail storm? Granted it was in an isolated area (Watts). It doesn't happen often though, that's for sure...

Watts?! What the heck is hail doing out in Watts? Fresno needs the hail!

The temp. dropped below 60 a couple of nights ago which means blizzard conditions. Governorrr Arrrnold is suppost to called a State of Emergency.

i snowboard, so i like the snow. i can't stand the greyness though. we get a lot of grey days here in new england. otherwise i can't complain.

Yeah, gray days are a downer. When autumn began I was actually happy to see the rain, but now I'm back to being sullen when the sun don't shine.

[jelanen]

I might end up in the Bay Area. *g* We'll see. Going to come check out the AI in SF over winter break. :D

[fish~]

its one of the coldest ugliest weeks ever here... low 60's
8-12 inches of rain in a matter of hours.. 2-3 times a day for the last week.

course it never gets above 93 and lower then 61 EVER
but a few feet of water still sucks .

saw my first snowflake at age 19 in reno
first hail a few weeeks later in berkeley CA.

[Mr. Teatime]

I'd be out there to. 50 is warm. And by the way the snow melted again and then it got cold. I hate black ice, you don't see it and bam you're on the ground. Enjoi cali, all you warm peope.

[kungfu_chook]

Just to annoy you all in the colder parts, i spent the weekend learning to surf in 28C temps :p
