Snow

[Hkindiana]

Yes. Been hoping for a replay of the blizzard of '78 for years.

I spent the blizzard of 78 outside in an igloo that I had constructed. My parents were sure that I had died, but could not get out to check on me, lol

Snow Dec. 25 that's gone by 11am when the temps rise to 50°
50-85 the rest of the year.

85 is a little high for those of us stomach-ly impaired...70 is the top end.

Sorry, my kids like to swim.
You'll just have to suffer through.

We did the same! There were empty beer cans where the igloo had been when spring came.

Looking forward to cross-country skiing!

I was at Ohio State during the '78 blizzard. A few brave souls put on their ice skates and grabbed onto the back bumpers of food delivery trucks (all that was on the road at the time). Another put on skates, tied a bedsheet to his belt loops, held up the other two corners, and sail skated across the stadium parking lot. We played a tackle football game in the stadium with no worries about being knocked down - 17" of snow was good padding.

We were in Colorado in a 5th wheel late October last year. 6-10 inches of snow, then ice & 5 below ZERO F.

I like snow ok if I can watch it out the window while drinking strong black coffee.

People die of all sorts of things.

And give me snow cover from 11/15 to 2/28 every year and I'd be very happy.

I love snow, if it snowed every week I'd be a happy camper. I love sledding and snowboarding at my sister's house with a nice fire at the top to warm up. Lot's of fun backroading on atvs in the snow as well, and it's more fun winter camping with snow on the ground.

You would have loved the U.P. The only place I know with 6 seasons.... spring, summer, fall, winter, winter, winter.

I used to love snow when I was younger, but the older I get, the more I'm leaning toward snow on Christmas then back up into the 70's. Used to love to go camping when a big snow was forecast. Nothing like waking up in the tent in the woods with a fresh cover of snow.

If it wouldn't be for my son, I would have moved up there after my divorce.

I was 16 at the time and learned to drive in it. T'was a blast.
I still have that car btw, a '67 Firebird.

I was 15, those were the years my parents were very uncool, annoying, mean, ruined everything and knew nothing...lol. Those old cars were some of the best, though!

You folks are too young. The blizzard was in 1967.

Didn't like it then, don't want it now.

Love watching some of those youtube videos of people camping in snow storms.

Although I was too young at the time to fully understand its impact on some people, I do feel for them.

It’s called being prepared, it was predicted it was coming.

If another one was approaching today we have massive technology and would probably know nearly a week in advance and for anyone not heeding those warnings it would be on them.

All I mean is I love massive amounts of snow and we haven’t had any in years.

I used to CC ski when I was a teenager. Good times.

I do too, I love watching Brian Galyon when he lived in a nice canvas tent over the winter in Colorado. I've camped in a cheap tent and my pop up in the snow several times. If I lived where it snowed more I'd have a nice canvas tent with the stove jack in it.
