Seeing snow for the first time.

Tribe member from Papa New Guinea goes to the UK and sees snow for the first time.

I've lived around snow all my life, and I have the same damn reaction.

The past few weeks here have been crazy. Warm and sunny one day, a bit of rain the next day, a fucking snowstorm the day after that.

Enjoy snow for three days and it starts raining again, everything melts, spring time! No wait, it's a snowstorm again.

As someone from California, for us it's: hot-hot-hot-very hot-very hot-cooler-cool-maybe light rain-cool-hot-hot, repeat forever. Literally never snow; I've seen snow here twice in my life, and neither time did it even reach the ground before melting. Snow from the knees up, rain from the knees down.

All within January?

PCsNBaseball · 16 points · Posted at 19:47:33 on February 1, 2015 · (Permalink)

No, that was December. January has just been hot-hot-hot; it was literally the driest January ever in California. We are SO fucked.

THERE IS SNOW ON EVERY MOUNTAIN WHEN SHIT GETS COLD, IT'S A MOUNTAIN, IT'S HIGH ALTITUDE

Pshhh, maybe in SoCal. In the Bay the weather is more like temperate-temperate-temperate-temperate-temperate-kinda hot-temperate-temperate. We don't even get rain any more.

PCsNBaseball · 3 points · Posted at 21:16:35 on February 1, 2015 · (Permalink)

Nah, I'm in the valley. The bay just doesn't count; you have that sweet, sweet marine layer.

I actually saw my first snowfall this year in California, and I live in Michigan.

Not first snowfall ever. I left the snow in California to come to warm snowless Michigan for Christmas.

Nah, a weird little country in Europe. Haven't had any snow for a couple weeks now, it's getting warmer (temp is a few degrees above freezing), some birds are returning from the south...

We've had pretty much that here in the Texas Panhandle. The weather won't make up its god damn mind.

We had freezing rain about four days ago and everything is just ice

Airazz · 1 points · Posted at 23:09:32 on February 1, 2015 · (Permalink)

Freezing rain is the most fun when it starts during the evening traffic jams and the road-cleaning salt-spreading trucks can't get anywhere.

[deleted] · 3 points · Posted at 01:18:39 on February 2, 2015 · (Permalink)

Same here. I shoveled snow all day today and drove home in a storm. Fuck snow.

Swede; can confirm.

If you live around snow why don't you try to enjoy it? Try some new snow activities for instance.

Where were you when snow was fall?

oceanjunkie · 214 points · Posted at 16:33:43 on February 1, 2015 · (Permalink)

I was sat at home eating smegma butter when pjotr ring

"Snow is fall"

no

I dont get why people upvote the question but downvote the answer

Fonjask · 30 points · Posted at 20:32:28 on February 1, 2015 · (Permalink)*

Probably because of the mental image of smegma butter. But it is the correct answer.

EDIT: At the time of posting the comment was at -15. Now it's at +25 so these comments no longer make sense
