I live in Sweden, it's mid Novemeber, in other words, it's not even winter yet.

But one graceful and peciliar night not long ago the world wanted to give us snow. Oh, how I hate snow.

Snow makes you freeze to death, you get wet all over clothes, you can't go outside casually, it takes forever to start up the car. Just everything goes FUCKED with snow.

Worst of all, you can't get a job in this cursed land, 90% of my friends in my age (19-20) does not have a job.

Gonna leave Sweden A.S.A.P. when I'm done with studys.

Canadian in Vancouver here....

Snow > Rain at least (Last year we had 30+ consecutive days of rain) It pretty much rains and rains and rains.

I too love the snow. Sure the few days where it's like -40°C with wind chill suck, but snow itself is pretty fun/awesome. If anything the cold wind is much worse since it freezes you while snow just tickles your soul.

Words of encouragement: We will have the coldest winter for over a thousand years now, according to Illustrerad Vetenskap!

Not being able to get a job sucks, but living in Calgary I don't really feel bad for you. Its just snow dude. Get some decent winter clothing and a car with a block heater.

Move to Texas!

The weather during late / mid-Fall in Houston is amazing...open skies, maybe some clouds here and there, bright sunlight, cool breeze...

...and when Winter comes, you may see a tiny bit of frost every other decade. Maybe.

If you hate mosquitoes as much as I do, move to El Paso. Mesquite trees in every direction, glorious rolling hills and mountain sides, and lots of sunlight. It would be a good idea to learn Spanish, though, if you do come here.

Wanna swap? We get snow ~once per 3 years if you're in the right place and once per 5-10 years otherwise. Lots of rain though.

Last year was terrible, there was so much snow houses and shit broke down where I love. Big warehouses like IKEA and stuff, my car broke down also due to intense frosting. Snow can be fun, FOR 1 DAY. When you have snow for 5 months you wont be struttin that ass.

One person from Sweden trying to encourage a couple to move there from the USA, and another guy making a blog about how he needs to get the hell out lol

I have a feeling you wouldn't mind the snow as much if it weren't for some other factors about living in Sweden compacting it such as the awkward day/night schedule. But yeah you get sick of it after a while :p

In NY I get my fill which is a small percentage of what you guys in some parts of Canada and in Sweden get. Well... someone living in those places really shouldn't be complaining about the climate... it's no shocker XD

I would embrace 5 months of snow with a smile on my face...snow > ordinary cold esp if its on the level of "Snowmaggedon" hahaha

Actually, snow is relatively warm.
Imagine all the snow was water, now then you would be fucked.

I like snow, it´s pretty. And cold is so badass.

When the snow is so cold, that it hurts to inhale the air, the wind blows hard in your face and you get red frostbite stains to the cold. You're forced to wear shitloads of equipment to even be able to walk outside.

It becomes a frustration that forces FML-feelings all over you.

I LOVE the snow, dont take it for granted, there's something insanely tranquil and awesome about it, apart from the fact skiing is also ridiculously fun

Ireland is gorgeous year round. It's seriously one of the most beautiful places on Earth. I'd swap with you any day. I'd take consistent rain and green grass over bullshit New England weather where the weather forecasts are "there's a 60 percent chance of... something we aren't sure yet".

Seriously, how can you live near so much water and not have mosquitoes?

I don't take it for granted, I just want it to go away. Many of you are too stuck with childhood memories of snow.

Snow is.... death.....unforgiving.....cold.....

Oh how I yearn for snow. Year after year, living under the unforgiving sun of California. Never to embrace the cold goodness of snow.

Your lucky. I have never seen snow in my life. Its always 40 F or higher in so Cal. Every Christmas, you would see the sun outside and you would wonder, what so special?

I never got to grow up with snowball fights and I never ever built a snowman. I never got to build a snowfort or anything of the kind. Your lucky you get snow.
