Who's up for sledding? Or a snowball fight?

I’m getting bored staying inside, huddled up to the fireplace and drinking hot cocoa. Put on your snowsuit and booties, and let’s get out there and have some awesome winter fun!

The lake is completely frozen over, we could probably walk on it without breaking through.

Who’s with me?

AAAAAAAAAAAGH! Don’t talk to me; I’m still getting over the trauma of last winter, when I had to shovel literally every three days.
SUMMER SUMMER SUMMER SUMMER

…well…it is kind of cool…as long as I don’t have to shovel!

NO SHOVELING twitches

Fine, no shovelling. But we can make a snowman.

I’m loving this heat.

I’ll gladly take this over -30, three feet of snow, and 4 minutes of sunlight each day.

Wait, wait… which of you are living in Australia again?

We’re all living in Australia, Sunspace. You only think you live in Canada. Shh, it’ll be all right. Just go back to sleep and everything will be fine.

You know it is hot when you go over to the local ice rink to skate and the indoor ice is squishy.

Bah, not me. I’m a computer geek, the melting point of the average computer geek is 23C. I rarely venture outside when it was as hot as it has been this week (but cooled down somewhat lately). (Oh, who am I kidding, I’m a computer geek, I rarely venture outside!) My wife loves the sun and hot weather and wearing shorts, but not me. (Well, I like it when she wears shorts! :wink: )

Well, that explains the plastic money, road trains, and two-dollar coins…

There are some mountains around here with some small pockets of snow at the top. Book your flight now!

I don’t mind the heat so much, but the humidity is sucking the air out of me. I can handle too hot better than too cold, but after about two weeks worth of 90+ temperatures I could use a good snowball fight right about now. Somebody catch!

::snowball::

Swing by Siberia and grab a few snowballs and we’re all up for a fight.

Either that or go to 7-11 and we’ll just have to have a slurpee fight.

There are reports of snow falling in central Wellington in New Zealand this afternoon, which, if true, is very rare.

SLURPEE FIGHT!!!
Who am I kidding. I don’t want to fight; I just want to fall backward into a snowdrift and make snow angels until summer’s over. Pttouie.

I passed by the local indoor ice rink tonight. Note that ice rinks here operate throughout the year; and so, you can skate in the summer. Outside the rink was a pile of snow–from the Zamboni that had cleared the rink, and dumped the snow outside.

All I could think of, was, “Let’s have a snowball fight in July!”

It doesn’t snow in Australia, unless you’re up in what are laughingly called the mountains.

This is the town where I grew up, today.

Timely thread - I just paid for my son’s ski trip to Threadbo in August with the other boarders from his school.

Plus, I’m freakin’ freezing. Come on summer!
