Well, being a crazy Canuck I'm a big fan of snow. But living in Vancouver has limited those experiences...just wanted to share a little picture of my back yard since this is one of the few days it'll snow this year. :biggrin:

Tracer, we never get snow. It never snows. Snow is a faint memory of when I was a child and a miracle from God sent down white flakes in beaverton of all places. . .

I now realize there are like two people that come to this site that will get that.

Within the shed lies my magical lawn-mower of mystery as well as some tools of mass-garden-destruction.

I grew up near Boston, so snow is somthing I think should come with winter.

I believe I've seen it two or three times in Tigard. And hey, things are looking up. the snow level is suposed to be around 500 ft. tonight.

At least you get some form of snow, Force.

Unfortunately I live in Adelaide. Australia. Which means I havent seen snow since I was 2 (and that was when I was in Melbourne). The closest I came since then was a trip to Alaska, but it was summer at the time, so the "snow" was like crushed ice.

BTW, its summer down here right now! Stop talking about snow! Temp hasnt been <20C since... a couple of weeks ago.

It was snowing up in Edinburgh when I was through there the other day, but it only lasted on night really, and it was all melted within around 24 hours :sad: I see plenty of snow but not here in Scotland, I get it when I go to France normally.

Speaking of snow, is this the snow that is cold & white, or the kind of snow where snarks with santa hats are falling down your screen? :lol:

Being in Ottawa I kinda get snow from November to March, sometimes early April. Wish I was in BC though. They have nice mountains I could go skiing on :biggrin: Beats the easy s**t there is in western Quebec. I also have a friend from Nanaimo I'd like to see again...

Well it's snowed for the last day or so and there's a good amount now. I just hope that the rain doesn't come as it tends to.

Why do you guys want snow :confused: Here in Sweden where I live the snow falls every year and I hate it because when it snows it tends to be quite cold outside and I hate when it's cold. I wish there were no snow!!!
