So I woke up this morning at around 3AM with the intention of getting some last minute cramming in before my finals today when I peered outside my window to see snow.
Growing up in the southern parts of the United States, I rarely saw snow. Maybe once or twice a year it'd flurry a bit for an hour or two, nothing major enough to stick. But whenever it did stick, it was basically a guaranteed Snow Day. I loved snow days. Staying at home, playing in the snow, enjoying a day off from school was just so enjoyable.
Now that I've moved up north for college, I see snow all the time. Because the people up here are actually competent at clearing snow, we still have school every single day, even when it's snowing like mad and it hits like -30 windchill. Fuck the north. Fuck snow. Oh snow, how I hate you so.
It's cold as hell, but man that snowman I made this morning was awesome.

yeah i live in norcal, right outside berkeley. the elevation here is like 300 ft and there's snow on the ground as im typing this. the only other time i remember it snowing here was when i was in third grade, and it didn't even stay on the ground it just melted immediately.

I hate Winter ._.
Christmas does not do it justice either.

It snowed for like 30 seconds. It was quite nice.

Yeah. Why haven't you guys been been microing the snow before it lands? You can do better than this.

I wish I could trade spots with you ... theres so much snow that one time from school to my house (which takes a grand total of 15 minutes max) took me 3 hours :|

1) Good job on your accurate location
2) The past few days have been crazy, when it starts to snow a month late- it SNOWS T_T. But I mean you take the good with the bad right. I've gotten used to the cold and snow, it really is much better than 30+ in the summer when you sweat your ass off.

Be happy you have snow at all. In my country a decade ago, it was not suprising if it snowed up to a meter in height. Nowadays, we are lucky if it even falls once the entire winter.

I didn't even realized it snowed until I looked out my window at around 1 PM after seeing facebook hahaha

Im in edmonton, and firstly it didnt snow for the whole month of November, which is soo weird for this area, and then BAM on Dec 5th it snowed harder than it has in the last 6 years. We got 2feet of snowfall in 48hours. Im not sure if that seems large to anyone, but when 2feet of snow hits the ground, the roads are basically useless for a few days. It takes snowplows a few days to actually get things cleared, and for those 48hours there were hundreds of car accidents, and hundreds of people getting stuck, on city roads. In the news it showed about 15 people outside standing, pushing cars up the more hilly parts of the city.
You couldnt even walk along the sidewalk because the snow was soo deep. Basically there was no way to travel anywhere, unless you wanted to risk crashing / spinning out and ending up in the ditch. The road in front of my home still has not been cleared since the blizzard, and it makes for some good entertainment since im right beside a major highschool. I see student drivers spinning out left and right, and tons of accidents. These kids can barely drive when the weather is good, let alone when there is 24inches of snow on the road lol. Heres some pics.

^^ Hahah frick... reminds me of winter in Kingston

First snowfall here in Ohio too!
I lived in California all my life before coming here and never got too live through snow
