Wear snow chains on your shoes.

ya.... winter bad. used to love winter when no driving. but now i know winter bad. plus, mice. all in the house and in the car and in the air filter with mice and mouse nests. plus bears still awake. don;t like bears. plus.... winter just bad.

[mmeeshal]

The Glad Game says that winter isn't ALL bad...at least it's good for photography! (I actually took my brother's senior pictures in the snow, it was cool)

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

yes. winter 93 nd 94. loved it. roads impassible. didn't have to try. friends drove halfway off a cliff but made it. front end loader broke trying to clear the road enough to plow. i was on a first name basis with the plow guy cause we saw each other 4 times aday for 2 long winters. didn't have to work. loved it all. even the frozen eyelashes and boots for the dogs.

 

now i have to drive in a foot of snow 60 miles round trip with no winter miantenance for 3/4 of it, i'd just as soon skip the whole thing.

 

feh. snow. bah, humbug. run out of room to shovel it by november, piled to high you just have to pray before you pull out of the road.

 

enjoy it while you can.

[mmeeshal]

I will... I try to be optimistic about things, when I can. XD

 

Well, my dad loves snow because it's fun to play in...he lived in Minnesota for a few years as a child, and once they were totally snowed in; it was deep enough that they could climb to the roof of their house and jump safely into the snow. They also had an "underground" network of tunnels...

 

I definitely agree that snow has very little practical use, and is an inconvenience (last winter, when we had a HUGE blizzard, I had to walk to work the next morning at 5:30, and only the main roads had been cleared, which meant that I had to wade through 3 feet of snow for 90% of my trip, which took about 10 minutes longer than normal. It was bad. My legs are short, so I felt like I was jumping hurdles with every step.

 

But snow does have a magical air about it, other times.

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

it's pretty. it's fun. many dangerous things are.

 

lol, i better get in the snowtime spirit, not much can be done about it now.

 

fa la la la la la la la la...

[mmeeshal]

I randomly started whistling "Silver Bells" at work a couple of weeks ago, and my manager looked at me like I was crazy.

 

Which I suppose I am.

[Louise]

uh, yeah. round planet, tilted axis.

 

 

I know lol, I just had this immense desir to express my own personal joy at seeing the tail end of winter here!

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

i acknowledge your joy and am happy for you.

 

 

 

[mmeeshal]

Maybe we could throw a "Happy Change of the Season" party!

I live in Southern California. Where I grew up it never snowed or really got too cold. I currently live about 50 miles from there and it has snowed each or the two winters I've lived here. It melts again after a day or two but everything stops until then cause there is no plan to deal with it. I've spent parts of winter in chicago area, Upstate NY and Norfolk, VA. They were all cold. Chicago was coldest but never snowed while I was there. NY started snowing in September and snowed off and on until i left in February. Happy to be home.

My mom grew up in Azusa, and my grandma still lives there. I think my aunt lives in Ontario; I went and saw Chaffey High School's production Camp Rock: The Musical in December when I went to visit. XD

I grew up in La Puente. Later moved out to Fontana, and now I live up by victorville.

[Niniel]

You have to tell us about it, Tiinker. How old were you when you moved to Germany? Why did you move?

[mmeeshal]

The sad/funny thing is, I don't actually recognize any of those places, though my mom and dad would. XD I could pull up Google Maps, but that requires an E for Effort. >.>

 

*throws a banana bunch at Tiinker's head*

[Turin Turambar]

Here ya go Tink *tosses a banana* in appreciation for Wish Granted...with a twist.

 

But its old and moldy.

[mmeeshal]

And probably totally black on the outside and liquidy on the inside.

[Tiinker]

Tiinker like. Eat banana. Grunt grunt. What is this Germany you speak of?!

[mmeeshal]

An alien invasion force 20 million strong.
