Like most Midwesterners I hate winter. It's cold, wet, people drive like maniacs, and the sun gets covered a lot by low-hanging clouds. I thought by moving here that I would enjoy at least a brief respite while I get my PhD. What I didn't expect was missing fall. A lot! The temperature was consistently 90 until about mid-October and the night time temperature hardly goes below 50. The first thing I missed was the "autumnal bite", the bitterly cold morning temperatures about mid-September. All the trees are still green, so I completely missed out on the vibrant color change, the sights of leaves falling everywhere, and the smell they leave behind! Last weekend I saw my breath outside for the first time all season and found that I missed that too. The more I think about winter, the more a winter without snow seems wrong... | ||

I'm born and have lived my whole life - 25 years - in northern Sweden. So as you can imagine i'm quite accustomed to large amounts of snow and cold. I can't imagine living many years in a place without real winters (that includes southern Sweden aswell). What I love most about the place I live at is how distinctly different the four seasons are. During the winter we get over 100cm snow every winter, during the spring you can some days go skiing without a shirt. The summers are pretty hot but not too hot and we have midnight sun (light 24/7 during summer). So yeah, I love snow! | ||

Just like in Starcraft, in snowy conditions, newbs get owned. Here is one such fellow on the Eastside. ![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/tZ1US.jpg) Further south, in Tacoma, conditions are worse. A bus overturned in Tacoma, injurying 12. ![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/OxlG9.jpg) | ||

Most people seemed to have functioning brains and drove more or less normally. Some drivers are fucking idiots here and leave their lights off while it's snowing, don't sweep the snow off their cars, and do random bizarre and foolish maneuvers for no reason. | ||

By the way, I live in Vancouver! 0.0 I used to live in Ottawa where, bunnies have to huddle together to keep warm in their little underground dens, and people have to wear like 3 shirts and a winter jacket to keep warm. It's not as cold here so I can just run around here without a jacket, in a t-shirt. | ||

New Flyer, which makes all of our public transit buses, offers "drive systems fueled by diesel-electric and gasoline-electric hybrid power, compressed or liquid natural gas, electrical power (trolley), diesel, and ULSD." I think that the majority of ours, beside Xcelsior, run on diesel. I assume it's the same with school buses. Regardless, based on experience, ours run all winter. Now back on topic. | ||

started snowing here, i hate it. nothing worse then being outside and freezing, maybe i just don't wear enough clothing. i hate wearing more like 2 layers of clothing so that's probably why. i can't stand weather that's worse then -5 degrees celcius, i'd probably move out of the city asap if the weather is worse then that. yay for vancouver, decent temperatures all year around. summer is awesome, 15-30 degrees is the best temperature for me. i love warm but not overly hot or cold. i'd prefer extreme coldness to hotness, but i'd prefer mild warm to mild cold | ||

Not fog, but actual like, mist falling? That is the only kind of rain/snow-like thing I like. That stuff, is so cool, I like that! Canada was the weirdest weather though. At least it's not freaking raining anymore. You know those days, where it's just dark and it's raining like nuts? I hate those days, because they last forever. No sun for a long time. Also, it could be a really sunny day, and in like ten minutes the clouds sweep in and it starts raining, and your like "crap!".\ EDIT: Forgot school buses, very rarely there are snow days, only when the roads are actually really snowed in, and the school buses are cancelled, which they actually have a website for. They state which buses are cancelled or not. School is still open though, but most children don't attend because the buses are not in service. | ||

However, it's still nice to go out in the winter. You just have to do it at different times of day to be as efficient as possible. For example: I work out early in the morning, play hockey in the evenings, and go out at night when they traffic isn't bad. Still cold though. >_<Edit: What city do you live in? | ||
