The town I grew up in is about 100 km south of the polar circle. In fact, I’m there right now for a brief pre-christmas visit. It’s -10 (Celsius) outside, which is on the warm side of average for this time of year. **Here are your toothpicks NAF1138; my revenge will be gruesome.** ---

> [@Silver Tyger Girl](#): > > [COLOR=“SeaGreen”] Aren’t we supposed to have moved to embarrassing questions? Well never having been in snow is embarrasing for me. 😛 Same with the bike thing. And if I chose a sex question I think the only thing left is beastiality and necrophilia and something tells me those aren’t going to earn me many toothpicks. ---

**NAF** , you can **have my toothpicks** after I clean my boots with them. I once experienced 30" of snow in less than 24 hours. ---

I have a photo response this time. Though it only happens maybe once a year, and usually not as deep as the year pictured (back when I was in High School sometime around 1989), it does indeed snow in Southern Humboldt, a mere 6 miles from the beach as the crow flies. [My family’s rental property where my partner and I endeavor to live once they figure out reliable broadband in the area.](http://rabidrenaissance.com/images/Home2.jpg) That’s a redwood sapling planted in the middle of the circular driveway. It is now about 3 ’ diameter at the base and the top extends well out of the frame. ---

**I live in central NC and we’ve already experienced brief flurries this year.** I can’t keep up with the scoring until Revenant Threshold posts. If he does not join us by 5 pm tomorrow, I’ll figure out how to reallocate the toothpicks. ---

**No… snow? Does…not…compute.** I have a photograph around here somewhere, which unfortunately has not been digitized, of a foot of snow sitting on the _inside of my windowsill_ in my shitty student apartment in Chicago one winter. ---

> [@WormTheRed](#): > > What? That must’ve been one really shitty apartment that had no glass in the windows 😃 It was the blizzard of '99. The wind was blowing so hard that snow came in via the gaps in the sill (it was a very shitty apartment). Luckily, if you can call it that, it was a bathroom window, so the snow just melted down into the bathtub. ---
