I didn't see snow until I was 33 years old and living in England.

I remember the night that snow was predicted, I lay in bed watching TV and looking out the window.

Then when the first snowflakes floated down I ran outside and stretched my arms out and looked upwards and felt the snow falling on my face and on my hands.

Then I lived in Central Europe for a year not long after that. And got some real snow. I remember the weather was mild, pleasant, autumn weather until about October then there was a thunderstorm one night. Opened my curtains in the morning and the city was deep in snow. It stayed like that for months. It almost never rained there, it was warm and dry in summer and it snowed in winter.

I still haven't seen snow but practically all my family has.

If you had the money for a plane ticket, I have a spare bed you could crash on if you wanted to see snow this winter.

Winters here are pretty mild. 1-2 feet of snow and it rarely drops below -12C.

If you want more snow, you can always take a short trip up into the mountains where there's plenty of snow to play in. All the skiing, snow boarding, sledding, and ice skating you could possibly want.

I was lucky enough to get a nice snow this last winter. It's been too long.

A couple years back I drove the wife northward in AZ to see some. I'd like to get up to the mountains one way or another soon.
There's gotta be a bus going to one of the resorts. (I can't drive worth shit either - but at least I can handle driving in snow
better than coping with traffic.

We had lots of snow here last winter, more than usual, and the spring was unusually cold.

I am curious about snow. So I have thought to ask you some questions about it.

Does it snow where you live?
If so, how much?
Have any of you never seen snow in rl?
Do you like snow or hate it?



Might think of more questions later.

What Parts said.  We live in a bit of a snow belt.  Close enough to the coast to get the "Nor'easters" capable of dumping a foot or much more that that.  Also have to deal with mixed storms, snow, sleet, freezing rain.  And yet far enough away that we can get storms from the northwest that can also hammer us.  Still, a hell of a lot less snow than we had in Fryeburg Maine, where we had a winter of total accumulation of 275 inches in a season.  My service paths looked like WWI trenches to the propane tank and electric meter.

Same. And I'd love to see it, just hasn't worked out, for various reasons.

I get that it's icy, but seriously, that was just one idiot after another....is it that hard to assess, "OK, these driving conditions are shit, I should pull over"? Or is that simply impossible if it's so icy? Wouldn't you have chains on of some sort then?

I have no idea, but I'd appreciate some insight.

[odeon]

You'd have winter tyres, normally. Chains are sort of extreme.

[Calandale]

wtf? Snow is life.

[Eclair]

You'd have winter tyres, normally. Chains are sort of extreme.

But that sliding around like that, that's just over-the-top stupid drivers? Right?

[Minister Of Silly Walks]

If you are caught in those sort of conditions without proper snow tyres and/or 4WD, you are screwed.

Realistically they shouldn't even be trying to drive in those conditions with the tyres they have on. Once they realize that they can't steer, can't brake, they panic.

Yeah, in conditions like those, you need at bare minimum, studded tires and AWD/4WD.

It's best to have chains though because you can't beat, the traction on ice and snow.

Many stretches of road here legally require chains in the winter. If you get in an accident without them on, you get fined.

I have mixed feelings about snow.  We don't get it often (like hardly ever) or anything deeper than 3 to 4 inches, so it's special.

But it's only snowed ONCE on Christmas Day.  It was awesome.  So was Hurricane Katrina which hit the next August.  If it ever snows on Christmas Day, I'm moving out by New Years.

Even where I live in the UK it rarely snows on Christmas Day.  It's usually just cold.
