post pictures of large snowfall/small snowfall, your snow covered house, whatever. or if you live in a hotter climate, what is it like there without snow?

I will start off, with the massive snowfall of a while ago when lived in maryland, about 2 years ago, I think.

I had to shovel this so my dog could leave the house when he needed to defecate.

We had massive snows last year or this year (My memory fails me) and it was awwwsome!( I live in texas) We had a week off school, then later around march we got another 2 days off!

wow, how much, the most I ever had was 4 feet of snow.

My girlfriend messing around in the snow near the Aura river in Turku.


Snow!

Yay snow!
Sadly, those pics are a bit unrepresentative of last winter, but the amounts of snow was too depressive to photograph

In Florida...at least in the panhandle...it doesn't snow...it may get down to a few degrees below freezing for a few days and we may have something called "freezing rain" or even "sleet" but almost never snow.

It frosts plenty often in the winter though, to the point where if you go outside before it gets too warm, it almost looks like it's snowed lightly during the night, but its really just the dew turning to ice...

EDIT: never snows in Alabama either...well, not unless you go up to the northern third of the state, I've seen light snows up there and in Georgia...kinda looks like somebody sprinkled the trees with powdered sugar...

stromtrooper on hoth. and yes, that is me under the helmet

Nice cave you got there, I take it you are a optimist as you are wearing a hawaiian shirt?

annd WARORK, we don't get sno in nepal, but we don't have heaters either, or electricity very often either.

Pro snowman, complete with leaf wreath...head fell off about 5 mins after that photo was taken.

my igloo. I slept in it as well as ate in it, this is before the rear wall was built

@ Ineptus
about a foot of snow =)

I remember one year we (my area or N.C. at least) got quite a bit of snow. My dogs enjoyed the weather so much that we had to drag them inside so they could eat.

I havnt taken a picture of the snow in a long ass time, probably because Im the one that shovels up all up since the children are too young to really "help". So I dont really feel like it after shoveling my whole driveway out when theres a couple feet or so on it. We usually have snow storms dump a couple feet on us during the longer parts of winter.

It never snows in ireland. :(

True, we just get ice. Like last winter, when half of Belfast was without running water for about a week due to pipes busting due to the extreme cold/huge amount of ice...

pretty much sums it up for me

as an example, I work in Tescos (a grocery store), and on the second day, within 15 minutes of our store opening at 7AM, we were completely sold out of ALL water, even small 500ml bottles...


Makes you think about what we take for granted...

Me and the missus with our snowman. Well, before some yob kicked him over. Poor bugger.

We don't really get much here. Certainly not enough to bother with snowmen.

But when it freezes over it's a pain, living on top of a hill with twisting roads is bad enough without ice.

@albatross: wich one is the snowman?


here is me a few years ago, walking home. (that is either the newspaper or my dog hat I am carrying)

and here is me attacking my dad (also a few years ago)

We got about 4 inches in Charlotte, NC last winter. The city pretty much shut down. We got school off for 3 days in a row.

Every winter in Canuckistan is the Frosty Apocalypse. There is always that 2-3 week period of -40C car-will-not-start-go-back-to-bed weather. Hell, I've even seen snow fall in August! Here, however, winter is this magical time of mild weather where I can own the beach without others crowding out the starlight.
