Hallucination Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 On the weekend (Saturday night and a good deal of Sunday) it snowed and brought down some power lines, leaving half of my town without power. It was my half, and we lost power from 4:00 pm Sunday to 6:00 am Monday. Due to the cold, power outages, and wind most of the school districts in the province shut down their schools. Only three kept their schools open: Langley (but the middle and elementary schools stayed closed), Burnaby, and Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows. Lucky me, my district still had school. On the drive from my house to my school (which is halfway across town, even though there is a school six houses away from my house) the radio station my mom listens to (and which I'm not allowed to change or else her head will explode after she rips my arm off) played Christmas music. For those of you who don't know (probably all of you), I hate Christmas music. Especially the songs done and remade by Elvis Presley and other old people who shouldn't have ever been allowed to sing, which the station was playing. School wasn't much, but my French teacher (who is known for being short, fat, and bitter) refused a snowball fight challenge from the teacher in the portable beside hers, and made us watch a movie about Maurice Richard. So, what's your opinion about winter, the holiday season, snow or anything else related to this time of the year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St. Jimmy Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 HAHA suckers! We're coming into summer here in Australia, and I have a pool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samnmax221 Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 Living in Northern Minnesota for 17 of my almost 18 years, I've gotten used to sometimes 2 ****ing feet of snow. Thankfully a good deal of next winter will be spent in Maryland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emperor Devon Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 Living near Seattle, it almost never snows. I'm lucky to get it several times a year. But from yesterday until today, it actually did! Several whole inches! On account of it, most schools were closed for both days. If the snow doesn't melt, they will for tomorrow as well. You non-Northwesterners are so spoiled. Since rain is also my favorite type of weather, winter is obviously my favorite season. Ah, torrental downpours, dark clouds, blustery winds... Those pwn bright sunny days. Since I'll probably move somewhere else in a few years, it'll hopefully be to a place that gets a lot of snow and rain.

Hallucination Posted November 29, 2006 Author Share Posted November 29, 2006 ^I live in Greater Vancouver, straight north and across the border, and the same weather. Too bad I also hate rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, torrental downpours, dark clouds, blustery winds... Those pwn bright sunny days. Is there any other kind of weather in Seattle? Horrible winter weather here in Florida--it got down into the 70's with no relief in sight. I just might freeze to death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
90SK Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 ^ Post-holiday winter is the worst. Christmas season: sure, bring it on. Lots of good food, pretty lights, and time off with family. But after that, there's four months of freezing drudgery. Plus, everything's dead, and it usually only snows enough where I live to make the scenery look even more decrepit.

Hayden Kered Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 I live in Ohio, which is known for screwed up weather. It could be warm one day and a foot of snow the next. I'm pretty much used to it though, so it's not that big of a deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty much used to it though, so it's not that big of a deal. You have no idea what messed up weather is until you see my house. It's not uncommon to see it raining on one side, perfectly clear and sunny on the other. One day it was hailing and sunny at the same time.

The_Catto Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 I LOVE WINTER! It's the best season out of them all. You can pretty much warm yourself up good in Winter, but its heaps hard to even cool down a little, in summer. Its summer now I want winter back!!!

Jae Onasi Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 Winter for me! Living on Lake Michigan, we can get a couple inches of snow, or a couple of feet of snow, depending on how those panhandle hooks hit the lake and our state. I love tobaggoning and sledding down snow hills with the kids. Fun stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingerhs Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 winter rocks, man. too bad we don't get much winter weather down here in South Carolina, but at least i don't have to worry about sweating a pint of water out every minute or so like i do in the summer months. to me, that fact alone makes winter worth every cold minute.

Diego Varen Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 I like winter. But in England, it seems to snow some time other than Christmas. Christmas, as some of you might know, is my favourite time of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabretooth Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 I'm generally indifferent to seasons, but I sort of like Winter. Its cool and calm, and it definitely beats the summer heat here. But of course, there is nothing like the wonderful first shower in Monsoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabish Bini Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 HAHA suckers! We're coming into summer here in Australia, and I have a pool! Yea, Aussie rules. And winter here isn't that bad either. On topic: I don't mind Winter, but sometimes it's downright annoying 'cos it doesn't snow in Aus. @RevanSithMaster-My birthday's also in the same season. 23 days before Christmas.

The Sith'ari Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 Winter is definitely better than summer in Hong Kong, such a crowdy and humid place. If I were in Austraila, I'd love both winter and summer, perhaps summer a bit more with all the sunshine and sea shores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabish Bini Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 You wouldn't love summer when it's over 40 degrees. Too hot to do anything. Even go to the beach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St. Jimmy Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 Yea, Aussie rules. And winter here isn't that bad either. It depends on where you are. You're in Melbourne correct? From what I remember, the weather there is really whacked. Maybe it was just me. On topic: I don't mind Winter, but sometimes it's downright annoying 'cos it doesn't snow in Aus. It does in Canberra! You wouldn't love summer when it's over 40 degrees. Too hot to do anything. Even go to the beach. Once, I was at a friends wedding (which was outside) and it was 52 degrees. (I used to live in Adelaide.) Not only is it freaking hot there but it's so damn DRY! When I go back there I can literally feel the moisture coming out of my skin...

Rabish Bini Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 IT SNOWS IN CANBERRA? Your lucky. And yes I do live in Melbourne, and yes it's whacked weather, but at least you can generally tell the kind of weather it will be, usually. Like tomorrow, it should be around 32 and sunny. Hopefully it's not 'cos I have skool. And 52? That's insane! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth InSidious Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 Indifferent to winter, hate Winterval, like Christmas. And I HATE all those sappy Winterval songs. Like 'Last Christmas'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
