The second most unlikely thing.

We’ve got ice covering everything in town. The trees look like they're made of crystal or some shit. Plus, there’s a shit-ton of snow everywhere. And it's supposed to be way worse in Northern Ohio.

But snow in southern Texas is pretty fuckin nuts.

Wow. Some of you would DIE in Canada.

It's all gone now =(

I went out to a friends christmas eve party (had rum and sushi, played rez and made snowballs and stuff). They live in Houstons Westchase District and it was crazy to see these tall buildings wrapped in falling snow and the all the ground (except the streets) turning white. It was cold outside, but I don't think I ever activly took notice of it. I was giggleing like an idiot. Snow is the most badass weather phenomenon in the world. Pretty cool that it happend on Christmas too. Another standout is that my granddad died today too. It's pretty sad, but he was very old and at least he was happy last I saw him (which is rare, when I was growing up, he was always an old, turse, bitter, callous, racsit old man). Strange christmas this year.

Yeah man, snow is nature's gift to man.

If only the woman in Alaska weren't nearly nonexistant.

Yes, I like how you said "the woman." Adds to the effect. It's so dire even around "the city." ;_;

Yesterday the snow was almost gone because of chinook winds. Then it all covered back up in snow and the temperature shot down about 50 degrees.

It's like the cold, you can almost see it.

Incorrect. Anchorage has a decent amount of hot chicks.

At least where I worked.

I would say at least half of the snow in our town is still here. In fact, a five foot snowman on our patio is staring at me through the window right now. Across the street at the school playground, eight inches of snow is still on the ground. It is f'n crazy. I still can't believe this happened

Were you here during the summer? Maybe they were tourists.

Snow days were the greatest things ever in a persons childhood. Wake up early expecting to go to school and there's a foot of snow on the ground. FREE DAY OFF FROM SCHOOL. Enough to blow the mind of any child. Sleep for an extra hour or so and then go sledding for 8 hours. And the hot chocolate breaks. Those were the days.

Replace sledding with football, and you have some of the greatest moments of my childhood.
