Debra Little Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 It is so funny how people from the South react to snow. The whole town closes down for a couple of inches of snow.<br /> Here in Michigan and elsewhere people are driving and doing things. In snow storms even</p></blockquote> We don't have salt or sand trucks, snow shovels, oe mittens. Snd it wss oonly a dusting. Sn inch would kill us. I see why snow would be such a huge problem for you. If it makes you feel any better I spent part of Christmas break freezing in Michigan... I am in Michigan too and it is pretty cold here. I see why snow would be such a huge problem for you. I am in Michigan too and it is pretty cold here. It is warmer today. It is 31. Any school kid in their right mind would still want snow!!! we used to get up on winter mornings and listen to the radio to hear all the school closings. we cheered for joy when we heard our school called.

LinaSt.Cecilia2772 Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 with the snow comes the ice and the cold and the wind. think you still want snow? Well considering that I'm from Texas and that snow is a rare commodity here, I wouldn't mind it. I actually want to migrate to a colder environment when I go to college because after living in Texas 100+ degree heat for 18 years, I'd rather be in the cold.

AnneLine Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 (edited) Well... we have had snow that stuck twice in my lifetime... when I was about 7 (and it terrified our Dachshund!) and once when I was a young adult... I was living with a bunch of roommates, and we were so excited we went out in our night clothes and threw snow balls. First snow many of us had seen that was THAT MUCH snow.... http://blog.sfgate.com/thebigevent/2012/11/29/blizzard-of-awesome-the-san-francisco-snowfall-of-1976/ How rare is it... welll... and the fact that we got a dusting made the New York Times and Time Magazine two years ago! Here is a Brief history of snow fall here in SF Year Day Amount Remarks 1856 Dec 25 2.5" 1868 Jan 12 2.0" 1882 Dec 31 3.5" Snow fell from 11:30am to 4:20pm. 1884 Feb 7 1.5" Snow fell off and on during the day. Depths from 1 to 2". 1887 Feb 5 3.7" Snow fell during the day. Up to 7" of Twin Peaks. 1888 Jan 16 0.1" 1896 Mar 3 1.0" Fell as brief heavy snow at night. 1932 Dec 11 0.8" 1952 Jan 15 0.3" 1962 Jan 21 Unofficial 3" in Sunset and Westlake Districts 1976 Feb 5 1.0" Up to 5" at top of Twin Peaks From the 1976 snow fall... This is a pretty good article.. http://blog.sfgate.com/parenting/2011/02/17/a-century-of-snow-in-san-francisco/ and this one is just fun.... http://blog.sfgate.com/thebigevent/2012/11/29/blizzard-of-awesome-the-san-francisco-snowfall-of-1976/ I'll second the comment about it's more about not being prepared for it combined with HILLS and no snow tires and no snow moving equipment that really makes stuff interesting when we do get some. It doesn't take much to totally shut the place down..... Where I am (outside the City and a little more elevation) we usually get a dusting each year if it gets cold enough, but it won't stick. But it is fun to experience the occasional flurry.... Sorry for those of you who get more than that in one minute... make that a tenth of a minute... each day for 120 days. I know that is tough to hear.... Edited January 16, 2013 by AnneLine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dominicansoul Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 i spent my Christmas vacation knee deep in snow. My nose hairs froze and tiny bits of ice continously fell outta my nose. My eyeballs froze and little ice crystals formed in the corner of my eye sockets. my very breath crystalized. I never felt so much pain as when i stuck my bare hands into a snow drift. It was amazing. But that's what happens when you spend time out doors when its -40 Celsius... I loved it, it was beautiful, and soooo much fun!!! we never get snow where I live. It hasn't snowed substantially since 1985... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
