Sammirah jellykans Sammirah jellykans Sammirah That's funny. I live in Canada and we don't get snow every year. Low humidity in winter? Or warm winters? Warm, I guess. I live on the west coast so we just get lots and lots of rain. Very wet winters. Or snow melts within a few hours of falling. Sounds like. Temp has to go to freezing to get snow. 32 degrees? dang - never thought I'd forget, but that seems right. Yeah, am sure it is. Yeah it usually hovers just above freezing here in the winter. Supposedly "they" have predicted a snowy winter this year, but that's what they said last year, too... Ever see a 'sugar snow'? That's when the stuff won't pack together into a snowball for love or money. I think it is really dry snow, they said (low humidity) - so like super whipped/aerated stuff. Sometimes it works for snowballs and snowmen after a day or two of melting, which fits.

The water on the gloves freezes into a thin shell on the ball if you do it right. Then when you throw them, they hit and explode with a massive puff.

Exxos Kujujuwa Exxos Sammirah Exxos Sammirah Haha, I bet the snow really freaks people out in Vegas. When it snows a lot, yes. But it actually snows here every year. That's funny. I live in Canada and we don't get snow every year. I think it is because of the altitude. Las Vegas is 2,001 feet above sea level at the airport, about 2,500 feet towards the edges. Where I live, we're about 3,100 feet. So while it rarely sees snow down in Las Vegas proper, out near the edges, we'll usually get about a week of light snow days per year somewhere between December and February. It's not a lot, usually only about 1/2" to 1" at most, but it happens. But then again, most of the Canadian population lives in the parts that extend south a fair ways. As far south as the top of California no less. My favorite was a couple years back when you were hit by that awesomely amazing snow storm that broke all of your palm trees, and I had only a few inches here in Chicago. I need to get back to Vegas, I had such an amazing time there. smile And the next time actually get me in a picture so our friends believe it actually happened. The Elusive Exxos: Caught on Tape! I have your voice on the camcorder from the aquarium... maybe our reflection in one of the tanks if I look hard enough. 3nodding

After all, something has to exist to cast a reflection. Also we should have got the ice cream, that has turned into the epic missed chance to have coldstone. Every time since, can't go, late for an appointment, need to do this or that. It's become am ice-cream siren that calls out and then i get ice-creamblocked.

Am not all that picky, though, as long as I am able to do more than play snowshovel with my hands - when it wont hold together at all, it seems like too much work to me. Along about junior high, I ran into iceballs - some guys would use a fun snow fight as a way to vent aggression, and would put chunks of ice in their snowballs - that is just plain nasty.

Trying to save money so I don't think I'll be buying any cash just now. I generally wait until things hit the Marketplace. I quit buying Autocash (bought it for fish) when they pulled the full-featured Memphis. I see a lot of aquariums ow with only Lite fish, and a lot of siggies with no aquarium at all. And...beware of yellow snow!

Nasty for sure. I think the thing I like the most to do with snow is walk through it. I LOVE LOVE LOVE forests covered in snow. I could walk around in quiet snowy forests forever. They're easily my most favourite kind of place ever.

Um, yes, deciduous trees (the kind that lose their leaves in the fall) were the first thing I really learned to draw....and I love to wander around them with snow draped all over their branches, almost makes believing in dryads an easy proposition... What about snow angels? Those will get you cold fast, but are so much fun!

And...beware of yellow snow! Usually I look at all the new items... end up buying 2-3 at ~20k and putting a few more on my wishlist but never buy. At first glance these seem mostly school or sports themed? Ick. My avatar taste has become narrower in the last couple of years. I used to do all sorts of styles, it's mostly either steampunk or fantasy these days. And a lot of cream and beige.

I'm happy to play in the snow for about 10 minutes, then I'd rather go inside with some hot soup or coffee and stare at the pretty snow from inside.
