Gotta love North Canadian winters. That freezer to the left gets wiped off completely a few times a week.

That is pretty deep.

Reminds me of when I lived in Barrie.


It is perfectly acceptable to fear and admire a being you could not possibly understand.

Yep. About an hour ago I went into the woods after a lynx, the snow was past my ribs. I didn't get far.

 

Where's that?

Mhm, we get our snow in late September/early October, and it melts around early May. This summer, it snowed for a little bit in August. It's actually a little bit depressing. We get sometimes over a month of darkness, with about an hour of sunlight a day. Farther North, sometime during the year, they get no sunlight at all.

 

What's it like where you're at?

I'm in Minnesota, so we get snowed on really heavy, not quit as heavy as you but we still get a ton of snow.

That's pretty cool, I don't know a whole lot about the states, I didn't think y'all got a lot of snow in most places. There's snow in Colorado though, right?

There's a ton of states that get snow. Some states dont get a lot but they still get some. Minnesota and Wisconsin seem to be the two states that get the most snow though. All the states around the coast dont get snow, they just get heat waves. And yes, Colorado gets snow, actually most mountains in Colorado have snow on their peeks year round.

That's pretty cool, I had no idea. I've only actually met one American, and he was a Texan. I guess that just put me under the impression that it was warm all over there.

Fucking...awesome.


Ive never gotten to play in snow that deep.

I am so very jelly.


I would build the shit out of a snow bunker and pelt people that pass by with snowballs.

My brothers and I used to do that, and we used to build igloos from the ice. Had lots of fun doing that. Except there's no people here, so it would be lonely now. o:
