I like snowboarding but I hate it when my moms locks me outside with a spoon with 3 feet of snow to shovel.
So I would say snow isn't evil it's what people do that makes snow look evil. Anyway we probably wont have real snow around my place until january.

 

[Fayte]

the snow is evil because it's so cold

and it also stops me from takin my walks

 

[Venetia]

Well also blax hate water and snow is just water with frostbite, so really there's no surprises why you dont like it fayte

I like snow, but I dislike the cold. If there was some sort of way to have WARM SNOW that would be fucking AWESOME.

This sounds like an excellent idea.

I don't know if I like snow. We don't have it where I come from, but now I'm up north for school, so I guess I'll find out soon! Snow seems pretty cool, but I hate cold.

Peri, snow is fun, but by GOD get yourself some warm clothings. I wear something like four layers whenever it's snowing, one of which is waterproof, and I couldn't enjoy it more.

wow, how do you not boil in your own sweat?

 

[Feldschlacht IV]

I go to college on the ass end of America near Canada so snow is almost all I see. As in, 2+ feet daily in the fall and winter months. I'm pretty much indifferent to it now.

It's snowing. well, not now. but it was for the whole fucking day.

There's not much use being below freezing if there's no snow.

I wonder what's sadder-seeing snow melt or having no snow at all in the winter?

 

[mawk]

melting snow is great, man. it's all warm after nothing but cold and you can't help but feel upbeat and stuff. it might be even better than having snow in the first place. man, one time in middle school the snow just kind of accumulated until like mid-february and then it all melted in one sitting. there was a big set of stairs going from the middle school to the elementary school, and that turned into some modernist fountain. then it all collected in a ditch and everyone started trying to get everyone else into the enormously long and deep (for 6th graders) puddle it made.

it was fun times.

 

[Twirly]

Wow here, where I live, there is only ice...
At the beginning we didn't know that, but I found out in a snwoball fight
which turned out REALLY bad...

 

[Terry Maker]

We just got snow and the temperature went up?! Go figure...

 

[Ellie]

Idk how true this is but I was always told it had to be around 2oC to snow, thus if it was previously below freezing it would have to warm up to snow.

Snow is created when the water droplets in a rain cloud are frozen (i.e. the atmosphere they are in is under 0 degrees celsius). The ground temperature only affects what TYPE of snow you get.

When it's very, very cold, (usu. 10-20 below freezing) even at ground temperature, you get small, tight snowflakes.
When it's a little warmer (i.e. a few degrees within freezing) at ground temperature, the water melts a little and expands the snowflake, making it lighter (i.e. "fluffy" snow).
If it's slightly warmer than that at ground level, you get sleet.
When there is a high pressure front in the atmosphere, but it's cold (around freezing temps) at ground level, the cloud is actually raining, but the water drops freeze shortly thereafter and you get hail.
When it's cold in the atmosphere, but not very cold at ground level, the snowflakes melt mid-fall, and you get freezing rain.
