    Enjoying our view of our snow-capped mountains. Can't wait to join friends I've not seen in a while for an overnight weekend (Mammoth Mountain) before the year's end.

    Fun fact: it snows in Hawaii, on the top of Mauna Loa.

    No way Jose!
    Sun shine, warm fall and winter temperatures (hot summers), greenery and flowers in my garden all year round. None of that white stuff near me (been there and done that). I don't mind seeing it on top of the mountains but I don't get near it anymore unless is life or dead situation.
    Enjoy it if you like folks.

    No, just no. I know you've seen pictures of how poorly Portland deals with snow (though it's not like Seattle is much better). Rain is fine - that at least means snow in the mountains.

    I would like to see some snow, and then have it go away after about an hour. Can I have that?

    It’s 60ish degrees here more or less year round. I’m not complaining :)

    But it's usually one of my better workouts. ;) (It takes 2-4 hours to shovel my driveway. Doesn't usually need to be done super often here, though - few times a Winter.)

    Seattle's winters are full of 40F rain. The Nordic ski area I do the most time at is about an hour away. I get up early, spend four or five hours enjoying winter, then go home. :)

    It's been surprisingly uneventful here up in the North East so far this season....only 1 snow fall so far...none in the next 10 day forecast either.

    I was going to say the same thing! I'm not a fan of snow, but I love the calorie burn I get from shoveling the driveway. And I find exercise with an actual purpose very refreshing.

    We’re going up to North Carolina for Christmas, hoping we see some snow!!! My husband has only seen flurries once in his life.

    I've got wind, and lots of it! (insert bean joke here)

    Anyone want some of that? I'll trade for snow. 30mph sustained winds with 60+ mph wind gusts. What's bad, is this isn't bad yet. I'm waiting for my 40-50mph sustained winds with gusts of 70-100+ MPH. So yes I'll take snow please. At least while it's snowing the wind dies down for a while. Then when the storm leaves & the wind comes back we have ground blizzards. Whee.

    Great thing about living in NM is that you can hit the slopes in the morning and enjoy a little winter and turn around and golf in the afternoon because it's 50-60* out in town.

    We get snow in town on occasion and it's always fun and pretty...it's usually a light dusting that rarely requires removal as it melts pretty quickly. Occasionally we get a rockin' storm that shuts everything down, but it's pretty rare. Northern NM definitely gets more.

    Wind is the only thing I hate about winter. Where are you? Wyoming, Montana, or some other windy hell hole? We had gusts of 80 mph yesterday.

    We have a winner! The great state of Wyoming for me. :lol: Keeps the population low though. ;) The wind was obnoxious yesterday.

    So, I tried to run outside last night. Was 5C when I got home, but dropped pretty quickly.

    Yeah, not doing that again. Dark and icy is not fun. Cut the run short and could not wait to be home and not slipping around.

    I'll run outside in the daylight, but not more dark hour runs for me, which means trying to do 10KM on a treadmill. Bleh.

    My son lives in Cody. The only thing keeping me from pulling up my roots here in Montana and moving there to be closer is the wind...oh, and grizzly bears...don't want to deal with grizzly bears when I hike. :/

    Just stay away from the south eastern quadrant, and you'll avoid the worst of the wind. Greybull and Sheridan are nice though! Much less wind. More cold though. Grizzlies can be a concern! Especially in the Sheridan Mountain range! I've contemplated uprooting and moving to those myself. But the jobs are good where I'm at, even if the wind is not.
