We live in a snowy climate. Not having snow means something is seriously wrong. If you don't want the snow, then this area isn't for you. We will get snow whether you like it or not.

Well then, lets spend millions on heating and snow removal and shut down schools and businesses so that you can feel a very specific feeling for an hour.

Snow sucks for: running, cycling, walking, pushing a stroller, using a wheelchair, driving a vehicle...the list goes on. Then on course theres the heart attacks and back pain caused by shoveling, the millions spent on snow removal. But but but it looks kinda pretty when it falls?!? Not worth it.

They should have been planning for this for at least a couple decades now. Its been common knowledge forever.

Pretty sure it eventually will....

Thawing permafrosts and ice caps will surely have more for us.

Tell me about it. I got out once this season while vacationing up in Maine. Fingers crossed we get a cold snap soon!

I use an eskimo propane auger. I’ve had it for 4 or 5 seasons now. It was like $300ish on sale toward the end of the season/spring time. Not sure what they go for now. A lot of guys will buy a kdrill attachment for their milwaukee drill and use that to punch holes. You could look into that option as well as it might be cheaper.

Every morning I wake up and it takes 10 minutes of massage and stretching for my shoulder to have a reasonable range of motion to remind me of that winter.

West of Holyoke here. Given the cost of energy I cannot complain and I certainly don't miss the back-breaking shoveling of 2020-2021. 2019 I had to shovel the driveway in shifts. I do not mind 40 degrees and cheerful sun by comparison.

Ski slopes are panicking. I do marketing for a few and there is a real sense the industry will die if temps keep going up.

I know it's hard to care about a sport for primarily rich people ending, but tons of people make their living on the mountains, plus all the wildlife.

the $450 home depot bill for "cleaning supplies" left little doubt(i'd say leave none, but i want viable jurors if it comes to that.)

started right after the Super Bowl. I remember it well lol

I don’t ice fish but that suck you can’t go fishing. You can go saltwater fishing for Cod. If you’re near the coast.

Well, I hope it doesn't come with a global pandemic.

Ok boomer

Yeah, I'm from across the river from it. I hate going over the south-end bridge and then trying to get on 57 from the circle under 5.

Oh don’t worry I will eventually have to because I’m being priced out to Massachusetts lol

I hated driving on 57 in general but in the snow is an absolute hellscape. Love my hometown but 57 is garbage.

I read recently that we are shifting from La Niña sometime between February and April, which is beyond my basic meteorological understanding. I read it as “change is coming.”

I finally got a new job outside the restaurant industry that has a better work/life balance and would allow me to snowboard more frequently.

This winter sucks so far but we’ll see what February brings.

I was gifted snow shoes a few years ago, it hasn’t snowed significantly since.

We barely had a couple inches before all hell broke loose.

Any suggestions for a cheapo auger? I'm trying to get back in and that is my last bit needed.

I’m in Springfield and it’s been years since we’ve had a winter with a satisfying amount of snow. This is the longest November in my lifetime!
