I'll take cold weather to hot any time. I hate how stuffingly blazing hot it can get around here. I hate being sweaty and overall highly unconfortable, like I'm in some kind of giant oven.

Cold, on the other hand, you can protect against, and I like comfy winter clothes, and sleeping under huge blankets. Staying home working on the computer in a cold afternoon with a cup of chocolate is also quite awesome.

So yeah, I'm far from a tropical person, even though I was born and lived here all my life.

[Cheater‽]

What Melly said, just add sub- before tropical.

I'm the same way. Blankets are the best!

[Alevice]

I'll foruth that sentiment. It doesn't help that this has been the hottest autumn/winter Veracruz's ever had. Plus, some clothes for winter look awesome, but I can't wear them here, hell, not even trenchcotas because they are damn fucking hot here.

I'm also a tropical born guy, but for having lived several years in a cold climate I knkow I wouldn't give up the sweatness for nothing in the world. But yeah snow is pretty.

[Lucaz]

I add to what Melly said. But here it's template. It's like 30-35 Cº in summer, 2-8 Cº in winter. I like a lot more to sleep with a heavy blanket, than with just a sheet.

Last year it was the first time I saw snow, just a little, but it was the first time it snowed in like 40 or more years. I was happy for seeing it happen, but I didn't like it. Too cold and the snow was like, I don't know, meh.

Oh, I like all of those things. In fact, I just put my electric blanket back on my bed yesterday and I'm looking forward to going home so I can sleep under it. It's just that I'd rather not have to go outside at all if I got the choice. But I don't, since I still have to go to work and run errands and whatnot. I seem to be more vulnerable to the cold than others, as I'm shivering like a chihuahua if it gets below 50. If it gets any lower than 40, ten minutes outside and my hands are aching with the cold and heating them back up hurts too.

Cold weather is nice, but only because when you go inside you're that much warmer than you would be normally.

Ottawa has gained about 6cm of fantastic white powder. But its probably going to be all gone by afternoon tomorrow.

[Xion]

I haven't seen snow in 3 years, since I moved to Cali. I miss it so much. I've missed it since I first left. I knew I'd miss it before I left. I want to wake up and look outside and see a fresh blanket of white on everything, muting the hideous and disheveled cracked and stained concrete, and gently burying the dead leaves in a pure, clean, eight-inch grave, quietly whispering; "Come play, come play, come play," while I excitedly layer on five sweaters and prepare to, with simultaneous reluctance and lust, tear apart the blank slate and strew it across the world in somersaults, whoops and hollers. And then a moment silence, basking in the deafness heard on a muted world - one which has long desired to be so quiet, hushing the motors of distant cars, and the thrum of a broken streetlight, and the footsteps of passerby, letting naught be shouted but the awed calls of birds, flying soundless. And I'd be smiling.

The best snowballs are those that say puff.

[siiseli]

Snowballs do not speak to me :< I wish they would. I think you should get help, though, if you think snowballs say "puff" to you.

[Gnarf]

Talking snowballs have a fairly good probability of encouraging you to puff something.

[The-Imp]

Still no snow where I live.

Snow has ceased in the Netherlands. I haven't had any good snow for some years now. I love snow because it has that haunting and quiet atmosphere. I'm a stickler for atmosphere.

Agreed.  Though I live in Minnesota, so I shouldn't really be complaining...I may end up moving to Alaska.  Summers are evil :/

Atmosphere is the only upside to snow.  Though it's a pretty big upside, so I'm more tolerant of snow that I used to be.  In the summer, Edmonton's river valley is lush and full of life; when winter arrives it becomes a silent, solumn place of intense beauty and reflection; a natural cathedral of sorts.  One cannot help but reflect in the beauty and perfection around; in the pink glow of sunset, and of the sillouettes of dormant trees.

[mjau]

Not true.  Snow reflects light everywhere, which brightens things up considerably.  Winter can be pretty dark without it, when you only get a few hours of daylight.  It's not so bad here really, we get about 6 currently I think, but further north the sun doesn't get up at all until next year.

Back to rainstorms here now btw.

[salade]

and skiing. skiing is fun.

[Biggerfish]

The grass is always greener...

I wish I had snow, I'm sick and tired of 40 degree summers.

[Akhel]

Yeah, me too. The heat is unbearable here. I don't have an air conditioner in my room and can't sleep with the ceiling fan on, so I'm having pretty horrible nights. Had to skip school two days this week because I couldn't get up so tired I was of not having slept
