Hawaiʻi in summer:


Hawaiʻi in winter:


Uh, I donʻt see the snow..?


Oh, wait! There is is!



Too bad Iʻm too lazy to ever climb up there.

I was there for a 6 week project a year and a half ago and came this >.< close to being able to ski there

Cool! We drove halfway up the mountain once. But with three little kids, I started worrying about air quality way up high. We got to see a little snow though.

I think it was Minnesota. Anyway, the two are interchangeable except for Minnesota is colder. (I'm JOKING!!)

What did the Wisconsinites do when the Minnesotans threw a bomb over the border? (right around LaCrosse, as a matter of fact)

Pick it up, lit it, and threw it back!

(Ok, itʻs supposed to be for MN and IA, but eh..)

if you get another chance go for it. the air's fine, just less of it. with the kids, the biggest "adverse effect" would be some hard core napping. it's only serious hikers and climbers that need to worry about nausea and headaches

Boyfriend used to write messages with our own personal code in the snow banks from my workplace to my home, so I could read little love messages all the way from one place to the other... Sweetest thing, really.

Allow me to scoff also! Your 10 cm is about 5% of what we had last year! In the park near my house, there was about 1 meter of snow for months! AND it never closed (closing parks???? That's just cruel!).

So cuuuuuute!


Here's a piccie of a typical winter day here; that explains why I love the first months of winter and also why I scream at the sky when february comes.

Snow here is the worst 4 letter word, right down there with "work".

I think I might speak for many of the men on here; I already resent that guy. He's setting the bar way too high for the rest of us

so i hear. about the parks, actually, unless i'm mistaken, it's a recent thing, they only started doing that after the really big windstorm of... 1999 ?? i think (i'm pretty sure, only because i remember my bathroom was flooding from the rain pouring through the gaping hole that was left after the wind tore the skylight off, while i was trying to get ready to go to a party for new year's eve, and i'm *pretty* sure it was the 2000 party. i remember that one because there was a theme) anyway my point is, we had a really violent storm which uprooted half the trees of the country and tore rooves off houses and i think somebody got coshed on the head by a tree branch in a park and died, and ever since then when the weather gets bad (well... "bad" is subjective, obviously) they close them. i could be remembering this wrong, but i'm pretty sure that's what happened.

Here's a piccie of a typical winter day here; that explains why I love the first months of winter and also why I scream at the sky when february comes.

oh, believe me, by february i am screaming too, and i can still see the ground around here. another québécois was telling me how he had FIVE HUNDRED CENTIMETERS of snow all winter !!!!! he posted a photo that supposedly was his brother's house. but you just had to take his word for that because the alleged house was litterally invisible, completely buried up to the roof in snow. for all i know, there was no house at all.

pfff. if that's the case, some of you could use a new bar. i hope you're taking notes.

as for myself, i am currently marvelling that the Page of The Beast is so calm and civilised. it doesn't seem like the end of the world at all in here. maybe i've misunderstood how that's supposed to work.

Civilised in the llounge probably does herald the end of the world Or maybe just that Adrian's popped out for a bit.
