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.  | ||

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. | ||

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 | ||

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. 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 | ||

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? | ||

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. | ||

there are so many guys from Nordic countries here on TL, I'm jealous with your beautiful women, tons of snow, 100/100 internet connections, dreamhack, etc. but wow, I did not know that you have 90% unemployment in the 19-20 age range. that's seriously crazy, I would imagine like street gangs and hooligans or something | ||

It makes driving a pain in the ass because not only the road is slippery, but most people drive like maniacs on top of it. Nothing like driving in a blizzard were you can only see a 3-4 car lengths in front of you ( sometimes worse ) with everyone driving 75+ mph 3 feet off of each others' bumpers. If the road isn't overly slick it is because it has been salted. If it has been salted it means that it is coating your car in this really nasty hard to clean gunk that usually won't be very cleanable until after winter which is also really cool. On top of all of that snow also, as stated in the OP, has the tendency to get you pretty wet. Pretty damn unpleasant wearing cold wet clothing imo. Usually the bottoms of my pants get soaked every morning and I have to spend a good bit of the day with wet jean bottoms. It also tanks the air quality leaving this acrid horrible air that you get the fine opportunity to breath in all day. Some of this could be Utah specific, like the over salting, but honestly snow isn't all glamor as Hollywood tends to portray it. I actually enjoy sledding, snowboarding, and snowmobiling, but compared to the everyday inconvenience of snow I am not sure it is worth it all the time. I would much prefer it if it just stayed up in the mountains. | ||
