Lilygwen Ahem, I made a new poll into the That Made My Day - Moments of joy and awesomeness in the Real life -sub forums. Oh and there's even new replies so go see and share your moments of awesomeness! I bought the Sims Medieval - Pirates and Nobels adventure pack yesterday. It's so great. You can make a pirate kingdom! So my apologies if I'm not around lately. I'll be making havoc on the seven seas and digging up treasures! Yarrrrrr! pirate oh i want that so bad. but i figure between my ps3 games and wow my children really would be neglected.

speaking of igloos. my dad used to make us one out of snow every year. he'd snowblow the snow into a big pile and we'd jump and stomp on it to pack it in and when it was big enough he'd dig it out. so not a true igloo but we sure had fun.

We had awesome snow forts growing up. We lived right next door to the parking lot of a church. Every time it snowed the snowplows would pile it up along the edge of the lot near us (not actually on our property of course). Some years we'd get this enormous mountain of snow that ran the length of the whole edge of the parking lot. So fun for climbing, building snow forts and tunnels, and sliding down.

Sammirah i thought this was common knowledge? I suppose it depends on few things like were you awake on science class and have you ever been to a really cold climate? smile I remember from school days when we had to calculate how much energy it would need to transform for example ice to water and so on. I once had an interesting conversation with a German exchange student about winter diesel and motor heaters. He found it puzzling that even in -30C (-22F) everything worked normally and the buses drove their normal routes like in the summer. xp

To Sammirah: my buddy and i were good friends with one of the retired ones he was an exsoviet spetsnaz and ex hells angels (what a life) he was a cool guy tatted up and told us old war stories probably why I'm so infatuated with Russia.
To Camwen: don't worry you're not the first person to be Quinzhees question most people in the lower 48 wouldn't know about that

I remember the heavy snows when i was a kid...and one winter, our neighbor who owned a snow plow, pushed all the snow from our shared driveway (it was a 50yrd length) on my back lawn and it was 10ft high...so we had a pretty nice slope to slide down...dang, I should have thought about building a snow fort in it too. wink

I kind of miss it some times. I don't miss scraping the ice off the car windshields and shoveling the driveway, and the bitter cold winds. But I do miss watching snow fall and hearing the quiet hiss as it falls to the ground. And the satisfying crunch when you walk around in the snow.

Though as we go into that time of year, we've mostly got slushy rain, so we might not get a decent snow this year. At least not what we got in 2008:

I miss that.
