I have a friend in New Mexico who bought one of these. Why, I have no idea. He doesn’t even own anything that needs to be pulled or hauled.

Ok now snow sounds harsh. But I still want some experience, coz I know there’s a fun part to snow, isn’t there? Coz here, I’m having too much heat and you don’t feel like doing anything even though you have everything. As I said, yesterday was scorching, ended with extreme windy weather so even then, you can’t even go outside.
Not my worry, I’m mostly a stay-at-home person.

Not all snow is as @Just-B described. It is going to vary based on where you live. In my part of the country, we’ll get maybe two to five snowfalls a winter. They could be just 2 or 3 inches or they could be 10 to 12 inches. Snow can vary from light and powdery to really heavy and wet. Kids love to get out and sled and build snowmen. It’s nice to look at from the warmth of my house.
The funny thing is that everyone panics and runs to the store for eggs, milk, and bread when there is snow in the forecast. I joke that it’s a French toast emergency. Anyway, people convince themselves they’ll never get out of their house again so they have to go the grocery store and stock up. In reality, roads are all very travel-able within 24 hours of a snow event and life goes on.

The Canadian winter dictates that, if you leave your beer in the backyard, you’ll have beer icicle.
It will happen because beer freezes between -5ºC and -10ºC, not an unusual Canadian winter temperature. It won’t happen to me because I consume my beer fast enough.

When I was a kid, I remember my Great Grandmother’s back porch was her second fridge. After every big family meal, (she had 10 kids and they all had spouses and kids who had kids) especially the holidays, all leftovers including the turkey, ham or chicken (I don’t remember ever having beef) went out to the back porch. She would keep bread, cookies and cakes out there as well. If you were still hungry or wanted something, you just walked out to the porch and grabbed it. That’s how cold it was for most of the Winter. I’m not so sure I would trust that these days, but she lived to 99 so I guess she was doing something right

When I was little, we literally moved into our sitting room coz it was so hot - we ate there on the floor, slept there (on the floor too - like camping), did everything there under the air con. The other rooms were just about abandoned in these summers.

Ha, sounds like us in the winter. We camped on the floor in the living room on cold nights cuz that’s where the wood stove was. We had electric baseboard heat and even in the 70s it was too expensive. It was set at 55 to keep the pipes from freezing.

It’s pretty chilly here at 4°F / -15°C. We’re supposed to get upwards of 10” between now and tomorrow afternoon. Fortunately, we have nowhere to go, so “let it snow” as the song says.

I didn’t know it ever got that cold where you live.

Those temps are the exception, not the rule, but, yes, we will get that cold a couple of times every winter when there is a big dip of polar air.
My thermometer cracked me up this morning. It said -0°
I mean, is there a zero colder than 0?

It’s still bitter cold here and dropping into the negative at night. At least there is only 46 days until Spring
This is at my Nieces house today after the storm last night. She is on the Coast of North Carolina 
They don’t own a shovel - No one does. They only have some Winter gear because they come up here during the holidays.

Gotta tell that guy to be on TOP of the snow to make a snow angel. 
I’m done with this cold, for sure. The two things you can’t buy right now are long johns and Calcium Chloride flakes (ice melt for the roof.) I’m waiting for the steamer guys to show up to remove the ice dams again this year. Cha ching
