I have no clue how many inches are required for a snow day. I think it may have more to do with general road conditions (ice, visibility, accessability, etc.). Being a mountainous region with a lot of steep roads/drop-offs, we had a few snow days every year. Great fun for the kids, and it gave the parents an excuse to stay home from work and enjoy hot cocoa by the fire New York sounds like a wonderful state, one I'd like to see more of (my only experience being New York City). My brother and I are the only people in my entire family (relatives included) not from the northeast (specifically, New Jersey), so I've always had an affinity for the area. My wife and I always said wif we won the lottery, we'd move northeast and build a cabin in the woods, probably somewhere in Maine or Vermont. ...Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow... -monkey
lets put it this way, My idea of a good winter day is High of 65 with no rain and plenty of sunshine!
up untill about 2 years ago, i absolutely loved snow. would sit up at the window and watch it fall all night. then would get the snowboard and hit the backhills. now, i still like to watch, but then i realize that i have to shovel it in the morning. it wasnt that bad when i was younger, but being out of shape, and a smoker - shoveling blows goats. as for driving, it doesnt bother me, as long as i have rear wheel drive. that's how i learned, and front wheel drives tend to drift in snow more. my volvo sticks unless i *want* it to drift. bikes - as long as it's under 12" deep and not really crusty - dual suspension mtn bike is my preferred transportation in snow. much fun. walking in snow is actually fun, especially a nice hike around the arboretum. as long as you have good boots.
I love you (In a non-sexual way. I love you because of how you violated Froggy. for that is what I would dream of doing )
That's why they make snowblowers This is going to be my 1st year driving my rear-wheel drive Volvo 240 in the snow.. Wish me luck..
Love the stuff but I can count the number of times I have seen it on one hand. And the times I have seen it would hardly qualify as snow, last few years in Leicester, a couple inches at the most in the city centre where I used to live Can't wait until I one day move to a country (yes, again) that has proper winters!
I love snow. As long as I don't have to drive or shovel that is... I just love making snowmans, and having snowball fights with my friends. Besides that, I still want to go snowboarding... but we don't have any mountains
I'm one that if it's gonna be cold and wintery, I'd much rather there be snow!!!! Cause it's fun, and pretty, and well what more is there to say?
I love it We hardly get it here though, I'm thinking that 321bhp through the back wheels on snow is going to be fun though
Actually, here's a question for everyone: Is there anyone here who has never seen snow in person? The may seem like a strange question, but I've met quite a few people in my life who never have.
I like the snow that you can make snowballs n stuff out of but not that useless powdery stuff we get sometimes. I remember a few years ago when it snowed a lot the whole school (900 people) and the teachers all had a snowball fight on the field, I didnt have gloves and my hands were blueish by the end but it was all worth it .
I love snow and i don't mind driving in it except around here, there are a bunch of idiots who can't even drive when the roads are DRY! I learned how to drive in snow by driving that big beheamouth rear-wheel drive, v8 cadillac in that picture of me. I never went in a ditch or anything of the such. Got stuck on a hill once but that was because the dorks behind me stopped DIRECTLY behind me so I couldn't even get back down the hill....just floored it til i melted all the ice out from under my tires.
Theyve been saying it would snow for a while now...and it hasnt, just cold. And i BET you that as soon as i go home (next friday) it will snow sh*t loads in Newcastle blooming micro-climate
