First Day of Snow
Barrie, On, Canada
Tuesday, October 21, 2008

Winter has always been synonamous with sleep. The world is muffled beneath a blanket of white. Outside is a still and cold silence broken by the warmth of lit houses where people cozy in with the people they care about. Hot chocolate, mittens, sweaters, rum cake and spiced egg nog. The year is being tucked into bed and its time to lay the past to rest. It's a period of grieving for the time lost, a period of reflection on the time had, and a period of gratitude for the time given. Life is always appreciated most during this season and I look forward to its awakening next spring.

S.A.D. FTW.

Snowed yesterday in Oro and Orillia too. Snow means easy hunting, ice fishing, skiing and snowmobiling...(ohmygod i've become a hick)

Also it means putting the snow tires on, though I doubt the ground will freeze before halloween.

I'd say something sappy by reminiscing about my first experience of snow in Canada but that's lame.

When I went to see Glaciers in Alberta there were lots of Asians from Asia. They acted like they had never seen snow before and then they saw the glaciers that their children would never see ever again.

Snowfall reminds me of those glaciers.

What scrumpleberry said, snow is rarer over here then a sunny summer. :sad:

Silly Canadians and your snow.

I've been in my first snow of the season already, but it was out in Montana.

Ohio weather is smurfing crazy. It was 80 degrees last week. This week it has freezed everyday. It'll be hard to predict our first snowfall right now.

It hail stoned here lastnight. That's as close to snow you'll get here.

[Momiji]

Snow doesn't usually start here until early to mid November.

[Evastio]

It hasn't snowed here where I live yet.

Although it has been raining quite a bit.

[Aerith's Knight]

Snow?

Your words confuse me.. I live in the Netherlands, the rain country.

[Levian]

Norway hasn't had snow yet, which sucks because being cold is the only thing we're good at and now we don't even have that! :weep:

[SNOOZER]

They have been getting some snowfall in hokkaido so aomori will probably be next. Right now Japan is pretty finicky about the weather. It started snowing here in misawa last year around thanks giving so I'm thinking it will be the same time this year. Can't wait to go snowboarding though.
