no? as a kid, heavy snow sucked then, too. it’s too dense to roll properly into giant snowballs, and it doesn’t have the same cushioning factor since its lower volume
or do you mean lots of snow? in which case, still no - lots of snow is awesome as an adult. I get to go slide my car around in silence, roads are empty, dog park is empty, everything looks beautiful
Nothing like being a kid and realizing that the snow is deep enough to build a network of tunnels, and you are free to spend all day doing that
I remember once, we got a whole week off school thanks to snow
It’s a nightmare if you HAVE to go somewhere.
Kids rarely HAVE to go somewhere.
Disagree, heavy snow as an adult is still awesome. I almost never experience it anymore…
I humbly invite you to come experience my driveway, sidewalk and walk way as well as the part of the street the plows won’t touch for some fucking reason.
When’s the meet up? I’ll bring cocoa and rum
The mountains call to me when it snows
Yup. So… sick… of… shoveling. And I’m norwegian, it’s kind of built into my genes.
It didn’t help that I had a station wagon that was RWD with almost no weight in the rear axle. Driving it was like that Bambi on ice scene. And due to a slight inclination and a sharp turn to get into my driveway, parking was a special skill that involved a 4-wheel skid.
Anyway, last summer I bought a new car, AWD SUV, built for the climate, and with a defrost/prepared timer. It was amazing. I was actually looking forward to winter; All I needed to do was to ensure I could physically enter the car. And this winter, due to an abnormally dry and warm winter, there’s almost no snow. Whomp whomp.
I still love it as an adult, but I don’t have to drive through it, so there’s that!
To me, snow looks nice, feels nice, is bright and cheerful, and muffles sound wonderfully. It’s fun to play with and walk through. Ice on the ground is another matter though, which is when and where I break in to my ‘penguin shuffle,’ so as to avoid slipping and falling.
My job is literally driving. Snow is annoying, ICE is public enemy #1. Makes my days twice as long as they should be.
Under… standable.
I can underatand your viewpoint as well. When snow isn’t wreaking havoc on everyday life, it does have a peaceful and calming effect that I can appreciate.
It’s not “heavy” snow - that is lots and lots of it… it’s heavy wet snow that is the absolute fucker.
So far this winter, here in coastal New England, it’s been powdery and cold. Easy-peasy to shovel.
Love it!
it’s heavy wet snow that is the absolute fucker
Yeah there’s a reason they call that “heart attack snow”
Well I nipped that bitch in the bud.
Just came in from shoveling the driveway - AND did the street margin up to the walkway of my house, leaving the curbstone exposed, so that the plow drivers will know where the edge is. Had a city worker come along and go tightly along the curb and got the stuff I’d chipped loose, so that was WAY hella nice of him. Get that road-crusty wet shit outta the way.
I will likely go out in another 5 hours and clean the space up where my husband parks, so he can just come in tonight after work with no problem.
Saw the New York “heavy snow” earlier, and I might be Norwegian, but that was kinda cute.
Lol, they barely got a foot? I get that that’s a lot for inner city but that isn’t even a lot by new york state standards
I love going through snow with my car. It’s fun. Don’t worry, I’m not going fast but it’s soooo exhalarating to drift on an empty plains
Heavy snow is still great as an adult. It’s beautiful and quiet and peaceful. And things like snowboarding and donuts in empty parking lots are fun too.
I enjoy the snow. I also enjoy shoveling with neighbors and sloughing off a sweat soaked shirt onto the radiator. Then back outside to enjoy our efforts with a little beer share and a big joint!
Camping in the snow as a Boy Scout and waking up with my tent completely buried was awesome af.
Only if I have to go somewhere, if I don’t, fuck yeah, bring on the snow!
Nah, still love the heavy snow, even when i have to dig out my car from a 3 foot drift on all sides.
