You're lucky you love snow Anthony! I hate hate hate it, and yet it supposed to be here by the end of the week. Though it is pretty and I love the way it seems to blanket everything in a cold silence, it is a pain from the instant you leave the comfort of the indoors.

Snow is one of the most greatest,beautiful things in life. I think out of all the reasons behind my likely move to Canada is the Real One

Allen Ginsberg once said that Bob Dylan's "munificence was engorged with snow" - what could he have meant?

I love snow. I remember going to a late show at the cinema in Cambridge with some friends and when we came out it was snowing. We walked back through Clare and up the backs. Enough had fallen to cover everything in a layer of cystalline white and the glow of the half light reflecting off the snow made the windows shine. Walking over Clare bridge was like stepping out into Narnia. I could see nothing ahead through the gate but snow laden fir trees and a single glowing lamp post and there was that odd quietness in the air you only get when snow falls. The view from the side of the bridge was stunning, the river stretching out ahead with all the white bridges criss-crossing it downstream. It sounds rather chocolate boxy, and I suppose it was, but I can recall the view like that and it still makes me smile to think of it.

Snow is pretty for three days around Christmas. After that it is the bastard exhalation of Satan, piling up, melting into slush, resolidifying as ice, and generally causing problems. Those who love it are deranged.

― Ned Raggett, Monday, 22 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

taking sides: narnia under evil spell of white witch (eg eternal picturesque snow and turkish delight and loads of excellent statuary) vs narnia afterwards (eg imposed monarchy of middleclass english children, one of whom flagrantly collaborated with said witch, in landscape of hohum idealised home-counties countryside)

― mark s, Monday, 22 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

White Witch style Narnia was much better. Zero tolerance of Mr Tumnus and his cloven hooved ilk = better world for everyone.

― RickyT, Monday, 22 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

We don't get snow. We just get antarctic winds. Narnia roX0red under White Witch.

Didn't Snow end up in jail? He looked exactly like one of the cretins from Color Me Badd. For that alone, jail time was a good idea.

It does not snow in Dallas.

― Samantha, Monday, 22 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Snow made a comeback! In Canada, he is/was/will always be hot shit on a tin roof. He's, like, a New Age Everlast! Whoop!

― David Raposa, Monday, 22 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Prove it Dave-o. I can't believe it without some sortae evidence.

― Nicole, Monday, 22 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Snow = cold and requires protection.

it does not snow in sydney, though there is an ice skating rink 3 stations away...needless to say, i don't do ice skating...

― Geoff, Monday, 22 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Snow!!!! HAHAHA, what a looser, only Scarborough could create something so bad. Now Organized Rhyme (aka Tom Green and friends) were the best white boy rappers from the great white north. Delta Force was fun game too.

but snow the weather is great. Snow banks and skating on ponds and shinny (sorta like softball but no need for a cooler for your beer, just shove it in the snow bank) skiing, fishtails in cars and snowmobiling. I hate rain but crazy assed blizzards are so fun to watch. Late night snow storms over lone street lights with Significant Other = classic. Sadly its warm enough for t shirts right now thanks to some left over hurricane that finished blowing over the region so no snow. Though we are usually snow covered from Hallowween on so hopefully this crazy Vancouver style weather will just go away.

― Mr Noodles, Monday, 22 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

We don't hardly ever get snow in London Town. I hope it does this year...but I think it will just be another year of floods. *sigh* Damn that mono-season, or at least duo-season (raining or not raining).

― james, Monday, 22 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I still can't believe that guy has actually had a successful comeback (of a sort). Eh.

fluffy white Xmas snow = classic. ice storm = massive dud.

Doctor...what is snow? The old wise man said " My enourmous cokayne". The sherif arived and spilled jelly from his gills.

― Mike Hanle y, Monday, 22 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Jelly is good when its orange.

― Mr Noodles, Monday, 22 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I think I've been quite lucky with snow. I was a childer back in the 80s, when it used to snow properly. Snow is fun if you're a childer, because EVERYTHING is fun when you're a childer.

It doesn't snow anymore, which is good because I'm a whole twenty years older than when I was born and it's undignified for a gentleman like me to be SPLATTED in the face with a snowball, particularly if it consists of nothing but ice and grit.

When people say snow is pretty, I always think of that thing Quentin Crisp said - "...this is like being glad to be attacked by a handsome mugger..."

Actually, even when I was a young scamp, snow and I didn't get on well together. Snow, once it's finished being fun, becomes slush which, once it's finished being slimy, becomes ice. When I was a pre- school scamp, I was going to playgroup with my mum and I slipped on the bastard ice by Worcester Park station and cut my finger and my knee and I STILL HAVE THE SCARS.

― jamesmichaelward, Monday, 22 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

mmmm sherif jelly.

― Kim, Monday, 22 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

it has already snowed twice here though nothing significant. nice thing about denver is it snows a foot and it is usually gone the next afternoon when the chinook winds kick in and it goes up to 60. detroit was a nightmare, snow would hang around for months and then the piles next to the streets would turn appalling colours and the sun would never come out and soon everyone would begin to feel exactly as the snow looked.

― keith, Monday, 22 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

How do you know it was "everyone"? Did you take a poll?

― Nicole, Monday, 22 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

The joys of living in a snow bank. The TransCanada gets closed at our town all the time, something to do with being so close to the Bay of Fundy. The snow is always white, usually dumped in 4 to 6 inch installments and very little is yellow, even less is slush. Slush sucks, one of the few reasons I wouldnt want to live in Montreal.

― Mr Noodles, Tuesday, 23 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I like snow. As James recalled, Britain 15 years ago might as well have been an Arctic country compared to what it is today. Round 'ere, it only seems to snow in April these days. Damn freak weather :).

I had this old roommate from Dubai who completely rejuvenated my love of snow, I remember the firs time he saw freezing rain crystalized on all the branches. Snow was like the one facet of culture shock that wasn't sort of weird to guide him through and was actually sort of awesome. I will miss snow.

I wish that thundersnow were a more frequent thing. I've only seen it a couple of times, and it was incredible seeing the snow backlit. After the lighting it really started pouring down, like rain does in thunderstorms sometimes.

was a wee while ago, and already posted on the Glasgow thread, but this was out the back of my house the first day of the mad snow in Scotland:
