We have a Mascot!
What can I say–I had a boring lunch hour.
Whoo-hoo!!! Great page, Peta!!! 
FTR, it’s still cold outside, and it snowed again last night. People are calling this a “normal” Minnesota winter.

The best reason of all: so we can throw snowballs at snow lovers like you. I’ll have one ready and waiting when you show up for the Lunch Bunch tomorrow. I’ve kept it in the freezer so it should be nice and hard. 
Hey! Is it too late to join this club?
Yes, I confess, I am a snow hater too. Actually, let me clarify that. I hate winter in general. Even when there is no snow on the ground, it’s still too goddamned cold outside. I hate slipping on the slush and falling on my ass. I hate having to mop my kitchen floor every damn day because of all the snow and ice and salt that gets tracked into the house. I hate having to wear ugly-ass boots so I don’t ruin my nice shoes in the snow. I hate wearing gloves and scarves and hats. I hate driving in snow. I hate shoveling it. I don’t want to make snow angels or forts or have snowball fights.
Why do I still live here, you ask? Because I can’t afford to move away, that’s why. Believe me, the first chance I get, I am moving either back to California or to Texas, where my husband wants to move to.
::sighh:: I’m another snow lover, but guess where I live? Florida. I haven’t seen snow in something like 9 years (ever since I moved from Chicago) and I miss it a lot 
I’m so desperate I asked my friend to bring me some snow back from Boston with her in a thermos.
It didn’t work.
You are more than welcome to the 31.5 inches that has fallen onto my driveway. When would you care to come get it?
Too funny! That used to be my sig, but no one seemed to get it "I’m Mr. Heat Miser I’m Mr. Fun, I’m Mr. Green Xmas
I’m Mr. 101!
And this poor guy has to live with me.
I love snow. I’m used to getting a good snowfall every winter, and I had to move down here to Mississippi where I only see a good snowfall every few years. It’s not fair. Of course, getting SZ to move north is an exercise in futility.
The latest snow we had, I was inside doing a snow dance. sigh Too bad it didn’t last long.
Y’know, I don’t really hate snow, per se.
But I’m fed up. We are buried under snow here in SW Ontario. We get lake effect from two sides. The icicles reach the snow banks.
I’m sick of shovelling it. It’s heavy. This morning I had to dig out the walkway to find the morning paper!
My old little Victorian cottage is one big ice dam. There’s got to be over 2 feet of snow sitting on ice on the roof!
Whilst I was out shovelling this morning, with the grumpy neighbours, after about 30 mins of hard labour, here comes the city plough and dumps it right into the drive. Just like that commercial!
It’s heavy snow and the piles are already 5+ feet high so you really have to throw it.
Even my husky dog can’t run through it anymore, now he kinda has to plough through it. Of course, he still loves it.
And he looks beauty when he shoots out of the house in the morning into the freshly fallen pristine mountain of snow.
I just hope that everybody I ever heard utter the words, “It just doesn’t snow anymore like it did when I was a kid!” is eating crow now.
Oh great, the weather just came on, more snow on it’s way. I gotta go build a fire. And you know I’m out of wood, and the wood crib will be under two feet of snow. I wanted to empty the ashes from the stove a couple of days ago and realised I’d never find the tin bucket, no trace of where I left it in the yard. It’s all just a huge white blanket.
We up here in the great white north have been getting RAIN!!! of all things. The roads are icy as hell and so are the sidewalks. I used a box of ice melt today after nearly breaking my neck.
Parts of my grass are showing because of the lack of snow, its an oddity thats for sure!! Temps are in the + range wooohooo
elbows: I’m kinda feeling like you now, except that I still hate the snow. Now this crap is just getting real old, real fast. And there’s supposed to be more coming.
Dammit, won’t it ever stop? Pleeeeeeaaaaaaaasssssse, just make it stop! That’s all I want! WAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
Any time, I don’t really care. I’ll even walk over there if I have to.
We have a place to put all of our snoooooooooooowwwwww!!!:
I hate snow. . .
While I grew up in Northern New Jersey, and had seen snow in quantity before, I realized there were regions of the earth that snow was not occurent. I went to college for 4.5 years in Arizona and had my heart set on a warmer clime. Needless to say, life kicked me in the head and my orders came down with “Minot, ND” on the list. I was not happy. The arctic was the last place I wanted to go. But I arrived on station, and life went on . . .
So I leave my arctic paradise to come home for New Years this year. Just my luck, I take the train and avoid the pain of driving through the storm that just dumped 5 - 10 inches on Minot. However, I am travelling faster than the storm, and by the time I reach Northern NJ, the storm is coming, and decides to dump 24"+ on my home state.
I have never been hit twice with the same storm front. I hate snow. . .
Isn’t it pretty as it’s falling all white and fluffy? It looks like a winter wonderland out your window. Big, fat, wet flakes. Big, fat, wet, cold, slippery, blinding, crappy snow that sticks to the window and now you can barely see the streetlight 5 feet away from the glass.
It lays on the ground, looking all picture-perfect. Just like a postcard. Then it turns a little grey. Then it turns black and brown and yellow. Then more comes, putting a cute little sleek frosting on the groove you and thousands of others worked hard at making in the hard packed mess.
Look how impressive those 5 foot piles along the sidewalk are. The snow enables you to enjoy the riggers of mountain climbing and, at the same time, makes trying to cross the street an exciting adventure!
Yay for snow! How could anyone live without the pools of icy slush at ever curb? Imagine winter without that wonderfully transparent sheen of melted then refrozen snow! I, myself, cannot make it to spring if I don’t bust my ass on the sidewalk at least once.
Rysdad, I had to laugh when I read this! It was perfect and listed every reason why I left Minnesota a few years ago. I love living in the South where if it snows, everything shuts down and it’s an automatic day off.
Oh yes, I feel your pain. I hate ice fishingnow too.
There’s snow predicted Thursday here in Baltimore. I’m fuming. Right now it’s 61 degrees farenheit. I don’t want anymore goddamn snow! I want spring. Snow sucks.
I hate snow.
Grew up in Northern Jersey, and school in Arizona.
The last I heard of snow was, from my momma on the phone-a.
Move up to North Dakote, and my God what do I see?
Freakin’ piles of snow drifts, most are taller than me!
I know guys that shovel snow,
and some who use the salts.
Other guys that tend to blow,
but miss a lot, that’s not their fault.
Guys that work with me
use big ol’ front end loaders. . .
They pile all that snow so high,
It’s a mountain to snowboarders.
From the runways to the fair base streets.
The white shit’s all around.
It’s a miracle if by the 4th of May
we can finally see the ground.
I don’t mean to be a pissy-moan,
don’t want to be a whiner.
But when you get snowed into your house
it sucks when you run out of Shiner (Bock).
Sometimes we have this season that
we like to call the “summer”.
From August 4th to August 8th,
it’s so short it is a bummer.
So bles’d be ye, who stay down south,
for you have not seen any pain.
As you step outside to get your mail,
and end up sliding on your ass down the lane.
I hate snow.
Tripler
Well, we got another six inches yesterday.
I’m resigned. It’s not so much that I hate snow. It’s just that in Wisconsin you rank it up there with death and taxes.
