How many countries have you been in snow?

This is a little different from the question about states. Which countries have you actually been in the snow, where you did or could have walked in snow falling or on the ground.

Supplementary list, if you wish, of countries where you could see snow on distant mountains.

Me, actually in snow: USA, Canada, Mexico, Chile, Argentina, Bolivia, Jordan, Lesotho, Italy, France, St. Pierre et Miquelon.

Seen from distance: Kenya, Tanzania, India, Nepal, Kyrgyzstan, China, and probably some others less memorable. Greenland and Switzerland from the air.

USA, Canada, Hungary, Croatia, Bosnia, Germany, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Poland, Austria, Russia, Australia. There may be a couple more I’m forgetting.

3

USA, Canada, Germany, Sweden, Norway, Russia, Japan, France, Austria, Czechoslovakia, Bulgaria, Spain (at Grenada), Switzerland.

Does indoor snow count? Then the UAE.

8

Ah, yes, Scotland atop Ben Nevis.

9

USA and the Netherlands. Most of my foreign trips occur in warmer months.

10

Just the USA. Only been to foreign countries in the summer, including Canada.

ETA: although if London got slightly more snow I’d like to visit it during the winter because the monuments and buildings probably look a lot better with a reliable dusting of snow, but from what I hear, that happens rarely.

11

:eek:
Would not wish London in the snow on my worst enemy. The place goes half way to hell when a quarter inch falls. Everything is shut down for days it seems.

The British are a strange race. Conquering the world? No problem chaps. Dealing with slightly inclement weather? Buggered. What can we do.

And ironically add rain to the list of slightly inclement weather despite its metaphorical Englishness. When everyone rushed in to cover when there was a drizzle in Hyde Park I wasn’t sure if it was a lot of non-English people freaking out. Then when the sidewalks turned to rivers in the drizzle I realized that that “heavy” of a rain was not normal in England or else they would have engineered the sidewalks better. And the nail in the coffin was when I was running in the drizzle in the Cotswolds and my running mates said “looks like you packed for the English weather!” when they saw my waterproof windbreaker but I was only using it because I had it: I wouldn’t have regretted it if I hadn’t had it.

Of course, people who aren’t from Florida’s mileage may vary.

US, Canada, England, Germany, Italy, Japan, Norway

I call bullshit on this.

18

Well OK. Maybe not Narnia.

19

Just one. I don’t get about much.

New Zealand.

I do not “do” snow. As a result, the US, Canada and Germany. In Germany I scurried back to my hotel until the danger passed.
