Thread: Snow, snow, go away, and don't come back another day! (EXTREMELY brutal winter)

    Snow, snow, go away, and don't come back another day! (EXTREMELY brutal winter)

    Man, this winter that we're having in the U.S. has been EXTREMELY brutal! We've had extremely cold record-low temperatures, akin to what we'd find in Alaska and the Arctic regions of Canada, and we've been pounded by snowstorm after snowstorm! And because the temperatures are so cold, instead of the snow melting by the next day, it freezes into very slippery ice! I even fell on the ice last week, twisting my ankle and hurting my arm!

    The groundhog predicted six more weeks of winter, and he was extremely right! Ever since my spring semester in college began, we were snowed out at least once per week!

    I am really sick and tired of this winter! Snow, snow, go away, and don't come back another day!
    Is that your final answer?

    I'm iffy on the snow. I mean on the one hand, I love snow. It's pretty and fun to watch and throw at people and it gets me out of work. But on the other hand, it gets me out of work and I need money to buy stuff. Also it gets ugly when people with comically oversized trucks drive in it.

    According to Wikipedia, "Snow is precipitation in the form of flakes of crystalline water ice that falls from clouds."

    Snow facts:

    - The average snowflake has a top speed of 1.7 metres per second
    - Chionophobia is the fear of snow
    - 12% of the Earth's surface is constantly covered in snow and ice
    - The largest snowflake on record was observed in Montana, USA in 1887 and was around the size of a large milk pan
    - It has been stated that Eskimos have over 100 words for snow... this is total bollocks.

    People actually fall on ice? What are they teaching you Americans in school these days?

    The south west of England is basically underwater.

    The Chicagoland area has been hit extremely hard this winter. I am annoyed with everyone around here because last year everyone was complaining that we don't have good old fashioned Chicago winters anymore (and apparently it was forgotten that we had a HUGE snow storm in 2011). Well, instead of a huge snowstorm, we have had temperatures worse than the coldest parts of Canada and Alaska, and instead of the usual one and done snow storm, it has been deciding to drop several inches every few days. I hope everyone is happy.

    They teach us that Canadians can survive for many months on nothing but maple syrup and that you guys live in igloos and end all your sentences with 'eh' which replaces 'over' in radio transmissions. And when nuclear winter comes as a result of WWIII (which will conveniently be Russia's fault and not the US) you will be one of the last civilizations left alive on Earth because of your built-in resistance to cold temperatures.

    Okay, I'm making this up, public schools wouldn't be this clever 8D
