general What is snow like where you live?

Snow? What is "snow"? Oh, you mean that fluffy white stuff that falls from the sky? Yeah, here in the southern Puget Sound in Washington we get that stuff every few years for a day or two.

What is this "snow" you talk about? I live in Southern California

[Anneal 2,197]

Most of California doesn't get snow at all, and even if it's below zero, the climate is usually too dry to allow any sort of snow. You'll likely get frost on the windows and the cement if you live around the Bay Area, but no snow. If you want to see snow as a Californian you usually have to drive hours to the mountains or to the far north of CA.

I'm in that sweet spot where even the smallest amount usually cancels or delays school, but it doesn't snow often enough to constitute the state or counties investing heavily into snow plows and such. It is pretty inconsistent, but it is most welcome (at least by me) when it does snow.

Well I live in new england so snow here can be quite cumbersome. Not going to say where exactly but where I am we got walloped with about 100 inches about 2 years ago now.

At my current location it's almost non-existent.  But even with this semi-arid climate, I don't need to go too far find snow aplenty.

We used to visit the andean mountain range during winter. And in one night, we woke up, went outside and it was all snowy.

It was great to experience this swift enviromental change, getting to play with snow for the first time and all. Great fun.

Here in Indiana, snow can be quite bipolar. Ha! Get it? BiPOLAR? Snow? Polar? Eh.

 

It really is though. Some winter, we will go the entire season without snow, yet we could get like, 3 feet of snow in April. That happened before. Then other times, we get snow, but also ice storms. Each winter season is hard to predict how it will go.

Where I live, snow is very rare! If it does snow, we'll usually get some light snowflakes for several hours, and everything melts within the day. During high school, was one year where it snowed a considerable amount, and it was a ton of fun making a snowman and throwing snowballs (not to mention that the schools were closed for a time ).

Usually we get a decent amount of snow where I live.

And we ended up with a lot of ice and snow early on in December, but after a while things got warmer.

It ended up being 65 degrees the day after Christmas, and there isn't any snow on the ground right now.

[Zachary 5,521]

We don't get snow in December like we used to as a kid, It would only snow on either January or February where I live.

[Member Berry 1,217]

Annoying. I live in a secluded village on top of a mountain in the South Wales valleys. If the buses aren't running we're kind of screwed.

[twiia 1,843]

Snow- usually more than enough of it. I live too far north so its on the cold side and comes often enough.

[Cirrus. 1,089]

I live in southeast Michigan in the US, So I get PLENTY of snow. We usually get one big snow of a foot or more in a year and about 5-6 more smaller snows over 6 inches. I personally HATE winter. When I was a kid it was fun with sledding, snow fort/igloo building, and of course SNOW DAYS off school.

 

When you get older it just turns annoying. You have to shovel it, scrape your car, drive in it AND deal with idiot drivers. Also the salt LITERALLY dissolves your car.

 

Snowmobiling is fun however, but I don't have much time to do that.

We have British weather where I live.
Only lighter.
It doesn't stop raining most of the time, but it's usually light rain.
Rarely ever snows and when it does we get maybe 3 inches, tops.
More often than not, it'll snow, turn to rain, freeze, and then snow for a bit before raining again.
Then all of it'll melt the next few days.

Living in Britain, Lancashire means, cus of the coast and salt in the air, snow... Doesn't happen for years in between, and when it does snow it rarely stays and becomes proper snow, it usually becomes slush or turns a dirty gray as it melts into the ground so quickly it's really weird, I haven't experienced snow here or at all in around 6 years 

[Midnight Solace 5,132]

Snow? What kind of fruit is that?

[Cash In 22,318]

We don't get snow where I live, so it would be rather difficult to accurately describe it. 

[Jon C 229]

I live in London. the snow isn't especially heavy here, and since it's pretty rare nobody can handle it when it actually does snow.

Cold...White...that's about it.

[Here No Longer 5,276]

Texas doesn't get snow, unless you're in the panhandle.

But in Washington I remember it snowing every other year for a few days at a time. It was nice and fluffy, aside from the fact that when you expose yourself to it for too long, you started getting frostbite.

What is this snow you speak of? Can you eat it? 

We got hot weather though. Very, very, very hot. 

[Floppy Snow 279]

Our snow is floppy . 

[Partialgeek514 5,011]

Snow? I believe that's the cold white stuff that falls on occasion, but but sticks on the ground for a month or five.

[Frostgage 7,975]

In Massachusetts we get some pretty legit snowstorms from time to time. Most people who've never seen snow envision a beautiful white coating, and that's true for the first few days. But the reality is after that it's just constant dirty slush for weeks

[Lucky Bolt 35,063]

Here in Florida, we never get snow, if we do it's only a light dusting that happens every several years or so.
