Give me [Snow] or give me death

Doc: That's right, twenty five years into the future. I've always dreamed on seeing the future, looking beyond my years, seeing the progress of mankind. I'll also be able to see who wins the next twenty-five world series.
Skiing/Snowboarding in Norway is not something you do in a shirt during proper winter. In fact, even going without something over your face is way too damn cold.
But yeah I usually feel cooked in a coat. But when you get stuck in a broken lift for an hour or two on a cloudy windy day you will thank the lord that they invented these things. I rather feel a bit too warm most of the day than freeze for some part of the day. At least you can unzip a coat to cool off.
fuck, winter makes me really wish I could still go snowboarding. it is the greatest thing ever.
Its amazing how helpful a proper Winter is for helping with bug problems. I hate the South.
I just wanna say, fuck you, fuck you all. I hope you freeze to death in your terrible wintery graves.
BRB, going to check what the penalty for breaking my lease agreement is.
I think I only like snow cause I pay a guy to do my yard-work. Hated the chore of shoveling so damned much as a kid, though. But cold weather? Love it. I even love winter camping. -30 to +20 is about where I like my temperatures as an ideal.
I once went on a "ski trip" where only one other person had been skiing ever before and everyone else was noobs. I wanted to hang out with them but not ski on the bunny slopes so we decided to take a group snowboarding lesson together one morning. It was horrible and painful and gave me whiplash severe enough that I couldn't ski for the rest of the trip.
I thoroughly enjoy snow but I have been able to walk everywhere I needed to go for the last 6 years. We'll see how this year goes.
Best part of being an army brat is getting years of winter vacations to the Austrian Alps when your dad is stationed in Germany. Worst part is eventually moving to Pennsylvania, and having to explain to people that if your ski slope is on a mountain you call 'Roundtop' it's not really a mountain, it's a large hill with snow machines.
Other than that, I think snow is a pretty cool.
Never felt anything more painful in my life before or since, other than after I then sprinted inside a Superstore, ran to the bathroom and immediately applied hot water to my frozen hand. Holy fucking hell, I thought the damn thing was going to just explode.
Winter is the enemy.
Been skiing since forever but decided to also learn snowboarding last winter and it was super fun. Got a pretty good ski resort just over an hour away and spent most weekends there.
Got a trip to the alps scheduled in februari with some friends, its going to be awesome.
Nothing like a day spent reading, writing, playing video games, or painting while lots of yummy snow covers everything.
If any of your body parts start to get frostbite like that, always apply cold water first, and then slowly increase the temperature. If you stick it in hot water immediately you have a very high chance of destroying the nerves.
Get something with quick lace. Tying laces is for gooses. I prefer Burton brand snowboard gear.
Man fuck you mother nature.
But I used to nordic ski in a t-shirt all the time.
So PA people, especially Seattle people, LETS GO FALL DOWN A MOUNTAIN!
All of this is ok, though. I mean, as much as people talk about the folks not used to snow driving like maniacs when it comes? There are just as many fucking idiots here in Vermont who lose their minds on the road.
Yeah, I don't get it. Every single year it's the same thing. It's like people get surprised that it snows in Canada. A solitary white flake hits the ground and people lose their minds.
We had a three minute flurry here in Toronto a couple weeks ago. I went outside shortly afterwards for lunch and was hearing sirens non-stop. The snow didn't even stay on the ground and yet there were still a crap ton of accidents that day. It took me a half hour longer to get home that day because traffic was fucked.
Honestly, winter tires should be MANDATORY.
"I'm invincible!" *into ditch*
I've seen people get stuck in the middle of the major highway (401) here when there was barely an inch of snow on the ground. It was so cold and their tires so bald that they simply couldn't push the car forward. I always get a good laugh when I see that every year.
I wanna go skiing and boarding again
why oh why do I live in florida?
But the first couple weeks of coldish temperatures is a
Now I live in Connecticut and I have a bunch of students who love skiing. I still don't get it.
Snow is great when it's falling, a nice light fall, when everything is hushed and peaceful. Around here we get more Noreasters, though.

As someone who has been going back and forth between CT and VT (with pit stops in MA) the past few years, I personally don't mind the delay with heavy snow. It is kind of disconcerting though given recent climate trends and the fact that you can step outside in December/January and it feels like spring mud season.
Let me just say, as someone who is acclimated to: 1) Sea Level elevations, 2) Generally flat land, and 3) mild weather in the winter....well it really is hard to keep up with my marathon training while visiting them. I ran 14 miles on Saturday. Between the elevation and the hills, I wanted to die by mile 2. The sidewalks weren't completely cleared either, so half the time I was high stepping through a snow drift.
However, I love the snow and cold weather. I spent most of my childhood in Wisconsin/Iowa before moving to Texas in high school. Even after 17 years I still hate the heat here, and still miss the cold weather. I should look at getting a job in Denver...
