Snow, ice, rain, fog ...winter sucks

This is the farthest I've been able to see down my street in the last 5 days



I think I'll move to Darwin Australia...it's warm and no chance of snow,ice or fog

I dunno -- my daughter and I had a great day skiing today in the sunshine and cold. Tonight we're looking at another 6 inches of snow and an even better day skiing tomorrow. And next weekend... ICE RACING!!!! Woohoo! Winter is great! B)

The closest I ever get to ice racing is scraping the stuff off my windshield :crying:

Yesterday, Molly and I took the most wonderful walk through our snow-covered dog park. The weather was perfect, around 15°F, sunny, and the trails were all snow-packed and not icy. Beautiful. Right now it's snowing gently, with about 5 inches having fallen so far, and another inch or two still to come. I love it. Long live winter!

Sounds boring!

I love winter, but these days, now that I can't sky anymore, I just wait till the spring (or warm days over 44) to get the bikes out Getting old sucks.

Getting old sucks.

Yeah, but it's better than the alternative.

I'll take getting young over getting old any day

snow rules. we don't get it here so much in the past years
we get at most 1 day of snow / winter. in this crappy city. this year, even the mountains are short on snow.

i remember back in 1986, in my home town, one evening was so nice and clear, next morning we had 2 METERS of snow all over the town. it was beautifull, no car, no pedestrians, just snow all over took me 2 hours to get to school, only to find out that the day was cancelled due to snow, haha.

now i beg for 2 centimeters of snow

And then you'll beg for FWD again?

not sure
fwd is a lot safer at this time of the year.
the crappy shit that the mayor pours on the streets during winter also helps to this feeling. the asphalt looks like... well... SHIT. all the small and grippy things in the road are completely levelled by this brown slippery substance. it's like driving on ice.

Hehe, you go on thinking that if you insist. I feel much less unsafe and sure-footed driving my FWD car in the winter.
