i still love the snow...i think it has alot to do with the fact that i moved here from TN, and we didnt get it much down there.

i'm sure by the time this winter is over, the novelty will have worn off

About the end of January... Maybe early February if you get to stay home and play a lot.

it is pretty to look at i think. but once it lands it should only be allowed to stay for like an hour, and then have to leave. sort of like an ice cube in your pop. why can't snow just land and melt... soon!

Sorry... but I can't build igloos and sled runs in my yard in an hour. I'm afraid you'll just have to quit yer whining... :erm

If it could be as hot as summer and we'd have snow I wouldn't mind as much. It's pretty when it's not all slushy.

Driving in it is fun only when you're alone on the raod with nothing to hit near by. I miss ice skating in my truck :woot:

Cassandra (my hearse) I actually like and I don't want anything to touch it. I freak when I lose control in it and I did it twice last night (and not in the good way like when I freaked in the truck going "wee this is fun"). The salt on the road sucks too, it eats the paint.

Amen I hate shovelling it, If I could only invent and patent thermal roads lol

You know the rebar grids that they use within the concrete, why is it so difficult to consider running a low voltage charge through it to keep the cement above freezing? Sure there would be a lot of energy used, but think of the savings in salt, salt trucks, plows, gas for the salt trucks and plows, road repairs....

Of course I know nothing about the true logistics...but it would be nice.

i agree, if it could be warmer and snow i'd like that much better.

and with driving- i worry more about other drivers than myself. some people drive way too fucking fast when it is slippery/icy/wet/snowy. i get nervous when i lose control mainly because the people around me are going too fast to be able to stop in time if i might hit them!

I'm among the life-long Michigan residents who is neither bothered nor excited by snow.

Oh, I do like to see it fall. It's very pretty. Especially if it falls on Thanksgiving, bringing back childhood memories.

But I don't get geeked nor upset about it. Meh for me.

Jon, however, goes nuts. Growing up in Florida has him still awed by it. We were driving in it last night with it falling decent, and he kept asking if this was considered "heavy" snow. I had to tell him about blizzards I've seen where you can't see past the front of your car.

Been a long time since I've seen one of those.

Ok, so my dad says that this is impossible and would take entirely too much energy to work sufficiently. Even if it were to use solar energy - we would be living under a never ending mass of solar panels. The maintenance would be a nightmare...and the cold air against the pavement would cause the cement to crack worse than it already does.

Oh well.
