I moved from the past to the present and then regretted no more snow.
Seriously, the past 2 winters in the northeast have been the lowest snow on record by quite a margin. I’ve got some snowmobiles and normally can get in around 10-15 rides per season, but this winter we only got 3. Two of which were on the same weekend. The whole rest of the winter there wasn’t enough snow
I don’t miss the snow or cold, but I am occasionally dealing with hurricanes. They have been close but haven’t caused any significant damage where I live. And I always say at least the snow never tried to kill me
Snow can definitely get you, at least here in MT. I’m from Raleigh and lived in Florida for a while. Florida was hot. Too hot. And nowhere else has rained like NC. I miss the rain the most. Florida got similar precip but it was seldom an all-day thing, more like a downpour and then done.
I moved to Maryland a while ago and can see this bullshit happening in real time. When I moved that winter we had at least 3-4 good snows with multiple inches of accumulation. I think we had 1 this year and last year.
I’ll never forget 4th grade, middle of the winter 30ish years ago. Back then, ozone and fckw was the big thing and we talked about it in school. I looked out of the window and we had like 60cm of snow. I asked my teacher if that means that we won’t have any snow in the future. He said: yes, basically, but it’s moving so slow that we won’t even realize it in our lifetime. I think that was the last time we had that much snow. It was getting less and less every year. Now we have like a week of a tiny little bit of snow per year. And i still hear people going: see, climate change isn’t real when it snows once.
I went from south to north and I prefer the colder months and snow.
I moved to the north and miss it being super hot.
Come to the Midwest, we have both!
100+ summers and sub zero winters.
I moved from Washington state to Arizona, no regrets. The dry heat is so much better than the cold. If it was someplace humid like Florida though, fuck that noise. Been there in July/August and it feels like an old man’s asscrack in a sauna. I’ll take a few days of 120+ with no humidity here over 95+ with 100% humidity
I just jump back and forth between Texas and Canada lol
Shit you must have massive glutes
Lmfao, got a good chuckle out of me! Thanks for that
Not at all. I’ve shoveled snow once in the last five years and didn’t enjoy it one bit.
I grew up in WI and have had enough of winters for a lifetime.
Whatever the opposite of this sentiment is.
It isn’t so much that I regret the loss of snow, but that I hate that the summers are hotter than if Satan himself came up and dragged his ballsack across the entire state. I know summers are supposed to be hot but good grief they shouldn’t be boiling.
It is fun knowing it will only get worse.
I really miss the snow. I haven’t even moved from Boston.
We used to get the kind of snow that let you build snow forts and go sledding for months, now the one day we get snow is just a soggy mess and the freeze isn’t even long enough to allow for a break in the mosquitoes.
This sux
Oh it wasn’t the weather. It was the people.
Moved from way north to way south for a job.
Don’t miss the cold, don’t miss the ice, kinda miss the snow but also remember how quickly its charm wears off.
Fucking LOVE not having to shovel snow or scrape ice.
Fucking HATE the hellish heat here.
Overall the pros and cons kinda just balance out in terms of the local climate… the make or break is the other factors like job opportunities, family, etc.
kinda miss the snow but also remember how quickly its charm wears off.
Yep. Peaceful and relaxing when it first comes down. Then quickly turns to dirty slush
I am in the middle, Oregon. I miss sunshine in the winter. We get very little snow, but a ton of gray rainy days in the winter. That said. We don’t have high humidity when it is warm very often. And humidity is one thing I don’t miss from other places I lived.
I moved from Utah to Washington State and while I do definitely miss the snow, I don’t miss the cold.
What I find I miss the most is the sun. Seasonal depression is an utter bitch and I become a total homebody if there’s no sun to bring me out of my den.
Yea a million times yes. Grew up in Indiana moved to southern California. I fuckin hate the politics of modern day Indian but I desperately miss the rain and the snow. I like the politics of California much more but it rains like a handful of times a year and it’s been years since I have seen snow… Trying to move to Seattle next maybe best of both worlds, not sure if it snows much there but I miss the rain the most.
You’ll miss the sun in the winter. It gets real rough around Feb. But the summers here… The summers are the best.
No I won’t LMAO. I absolutely prefer the night over the day and I find overcast days to be such a blissful melancholy vibe. I have sensory issues and bright lights really bother me, being out in the sun for too long just is overwhelming.
Lol it rarely snows in New England anymore. Thanks boomers and thinking solar panels are the devil…oh and and global warming.
Tell them it’s free electricity and they save a big amount of money. I’d suppose they will certainly be more on-board with that take.
i spent a number of years in south texas. yea, i missed it… but i missed the northern summers more.
aside from the (singular) week’s worth of cold and snow we’ve gotten, this past winter ‘up north’ has been more like the south texas winters i remember.
