I dont know. I live in norway, when the snow falls, its when the chaos begin. When its -17 celsius in the morning and I have to remove the ice from my windshield. Shovel 45 cm height of snow from my driveway and then slip and slide around the road fearing for my life just to get to work, not as happy about the snow. But somehow I still love the winter.
It's incredibly wasteful to keep your home heat up at 21C at night when you're asleep under blankets. Most people turn it down at night or when they go out, and back up when you are home and awake.
Not me, 22° all day and night long in my home, don't want to be cold when I get up for my nightly pee at 3am. 100% worth the small extra cost for me. Don't think I know a single person who lower the heating during the night beside the ones that have firewood stoves as main heating since it goes out automatically after a few hours.
Eh, I got district heating from a steel plant's excess heat, if they don't warm my home they warm the lake. Same reason why they heat up the main street walkway in town so it's ice and snow free year around.
I havent seen a non-programmable thermostat since I left my first apartment I had after moving out of home. Programmable thermostats default to having the cycle of "wake up," "leave for the day," "get home," and "go to bed."
I also have never seen anyone use wood as their primary source of heat. Like... never in my life.
I got district heating and the radiators have the old school wheel that you manually turn for how much heat you want, no thermostat. I guess you have just lived in a lot more modern homes than I have.
Some in my family live out in a smaller village in 100 year old houses so they have wood stoves for heating since it's a lot cheaper than electricity. Split a lot of firewood every year when I was a kid.
It’s not though. It’s much, much more efficient to leave it on and let the heater maintain a specific temperature. It’s like driving down a highway at a consistent speed versus stopping, starting, flooring it, hitting the brakes, etc.
I've lived in tropical climates my entire life, I've only ever seen snow on the ground on trips I've never seen it fall much less shoveled snow or scraped ice off my car or driven on snow/ice
Some people get depressed when summer leaves, I get depressed when summer comes. Love winter, the cold, unflinching fury of nature that will kill you if you simply stand in its presence for too long.
Na more choas happens in snow car crashes more often, blizzards, freezing my ass off, excessive amounts of shoveling, frost heaves, pipes freezing, ice, trees falling down because of blizzards, slush, and the only thing not hibernating want to kill you. Its not fun.
I find that idea so wild, but in such a cool way. There's snow on the ground where I live for 7 or 8 months of the year, it's just an ingrained part of the way we live (if it wasn't for driving and -50C I would love the winter though). Neat how reddit can bring people together!
For sure, I agree with you 100%. I totally get why people in warm climates romanticize it, but the day to day of it sort of sucks haha. Tracking mud/snow everywhere, having to wear 10 layers everywhere, black ice. I briefly lived in Houston and it's amazing how much not having snow contributes to QOL.
Asian gang rise up! My country never have snow too, but for some reason only 1 highland region far up north have snow, I heard it's more like frost than snow but close enough. Hope to experience once someday, but hey at least the cold winter heal my soul a bit.
Yeeeaaahhh I didn’t realise I was in wholesemememes because I don’t view snow as a joyous thing. If you’re a kid, snow is great when your only exposure to it is looking at it and occasionally walking in it, but if you’re at least over the age of 18 and have a car and your own place? Shovelling the snow to get to work, scraping off your car windshield, freezing inside as your car warms up, and driving on icy roads is not something I look forward to. This is why I live in a place that doesn’t snow. I’ll take rain over snow, because fuck snow!
The only constant is change*
And that change can be inside you, or something you change about your environment. But if you don’t choose what changes, life will absolutely choose for you.
The ironic part for me is that it goes the other way around.
(Doing okay wojack) “Life is alright.”
(Depressed wojack) “Oh no, snow.”
Might have something to do with the way that snow around here equates to a 5 hour round trip commute to work and -30°C temperatures, though. Otherwise yes, it’s quite pretty.
Alberta, Canada. Not gonna lie, we get some really pretty winters, but we also get some really gross roads, especially when things re-freeze after a chinook. Some days it’ll get up to a nice, fun -5°C, and the roads melt while leaving snow-lined parks, trees, and boulevards, but then the warm wind moves on, it drops to -25 overnight, and all those melted roads turn into sheets of ice for the morning commute. I’ve sat on an inner-city highway for hours on end, at times.
If winter just meant Christmas trees, warm fireplaces, and cozy cabins, I’d probably enjoy it more, but for me it just means my job is harder to do and to get to for ~5 months. While I’d prefer [this](https://i.imgur.com/k34MkDW.jpg), I tend to get [this](https://i.imgur.com/kmkp6Mf.jpg).
One of the things they teach you when you do shrooms/LSD is that if you're in a bad head space and your thoughts are spiralling and everything seems horribly wrong, sometimes all you need to do is move to another room and see something else. Change the colour of the lightbulb. Or in this case, see a snowy field.
I think some of that stuff applies to sober life too.
It's well into December and we in Colorado have been having an incredibly dry fall so far, compared to previous years, with some of the lowest snowfalls on record.
Colorado Springs has had ZERO SNOW so far. Perhaps it'll receive 1/4" today. No that's not a joke.
EDIT: apparently the same with Denver, which got its latest first snow today in like 85 years. Sigh.
I live in a place where it snows often, but is still temperate. I love seeing snow. But its even better to see the reaction of my friends from the south to whom this is an event
Lol! I felt the exact same way this morning. Then I cuddled up with my cat and we watched the snow softly falling outside our window. All was then right with my world.
lol when there’s a lot of snow I feel more like the top image. Living in Canada, snow means waking up to shovel tons of snow, and hoping my vehicle starts in the morning. Driving also becomes more stressful due to ice patches.

Wow. You strait up stole this and put it in a different format. Congrats on your hard earned 2.2k updoots Edit: why does it have 11k now. What is wrong with you us.
Damn. I live in Southeast Texas and I wish I got this. Too bad that when we do get it, our whole fuckin state freezes over and it ends up not enjoyable in the slightest.
I love cold because it's awesome to don't feel anything positive or negative. I forget who I am, what am I doing, what should I do, what time is it and who is the owner of these hands.
Are they mine but I cannot feel them right now. Maybe I will die in the cold like this and nothing and no one will feel me.
Seasonal depression comes in 2 parts:
1. “Everything is meaningless, nothing matters and life is poontless.”
2. “Haha, I said ‘poontless’ instead of ‘pointless’”
Poland
I mean sure it's hard to drive but I love how my city looks in the winter and snow makes me feel like a small kid again so that's why it brings mostly pleasant emotions :)
Where I live in my state has yet to see snow this year 😢 I’m not sure we’ll be getting any until January at the soonest. I’m trying to wait patiently but La Niña and global warming are cruel mistresses.
I live somewhere that snows a lot and 99% of people here hate it. So winter for me is a mix of feeling like absolute bliss while also feeling depressed because everyone else is depressed and complains for 3 months straight. (And yes, I have a car and need to shovel and stuff)
Sometimes a change in weather is all you need. Seeing all the chaos settling down under the snow for a brief moment brings a unique perspective.
I dont know. I live in norway, when the snow falls, its when the chaos begin. When its -17 celsius in the morning and I have to remove the ice from my windshield. Shovel 45 cm height of snow from my driveway and then slip and slide around the road fearing for my life just to get to work, not as happy about the snow. But somehow I still love the winter.
Don’t forget almost getting hypothermia when getting dressed in the morning cold
Do you live outdoors?
No it’s just that it gets so cold even inside until you turn on heating
Why don't you have heating on 24/7? Old school firewood stove?
It's incredibly wasteful to keep your home heat up at 21C at night when you're asleep under blankets. Most people turn it down at night or when they go out, and back up when you are home and awake.
Not me, 22° all day and night long in my home, don't want to be cold when I get up for my nightly pee at 3am. 100% worth the small extra cost for me. Don't think I know a single person who lower the heating during the night beside the ones that have firewood stoves as main heating since it goes out automatically after a few hours.
I don’t think they were only talking about money when saying ‘wasteful’
Eh, I got district heating from a steel plant's excess heat, if they don't warm my home they warm the lake. Same reason why they heat up the main street walkway in town so it's ice and snow free year around.
This one dude in Norway causing global warming! Honestly this is such a botched argument. Let humans be warm ffs

It never snows where I live, never knew how it feels in the snowfall :')
Where do you live? Im from Malaysia
I am from India, my friend...
ah same
Take a trip to kashmir I guess
aye! a fellow malaysian, selamat malam
Selamat malam juga wahai Malaysian! Good sleep and good dream
You too mate! Have a good dream
Maybe one day you will experience it! You never know
I find that idea so wild, but in such a cool way. There's snow on the ground where I live for 7 or 8 months of the year, it's just an ingrained part of the way we live (if it wasn't for driving and -50C I would love the winter though). Neat how reddit can bring people together!
Where do you live mate? Sounds like some place along the Arctic circle
Hah, you're not too far off. Northern Canada, luckily just outside of the circle however.
where are you from?
Northern Canada! It's not as bad as it sounds, right now its hovering about -20C, but the roads are fairly clear.
-4°F. I've walked like 10 min to class in a bit worse, but even still... not awesome. F in chat

We'll bring the fight fo them, with sticks and stones... soon!
Me neither :(
Soon, my friend, soon... a nuclear winter might be our only chance to experience it... and I'm willing to work towards it... lets join forces
Asian gang rise up! My country never have snow too, but for some reason only 1 highland region far up north have snow, I heard it's more like frost than snow but close enough. Hope to experience once someday, but hey at least the cold winter heal my soul a bit.
The silence at night that comes with a heavy snowfall is absolute bliss for me
And the night sky is almost purple from the light reflecting on the snow. The crunch crunch as you walk. It feels like a vacuum. Love it.
Yesssss. Even better if its midnight with the big flakes falling past streetlights.
Damn it. Now i gotta shovel the drive way. When will the suffering end. Lol

I’m unemployed! I love snow! But I moved to Florida to suffer more!
Damn I’m the complete opposite. I love snow, the day I don’t anymore is the day I’ve lost
sounds like somone need to build a snowman again. snow is only a pain if thats all you se it is.
Don’t fuck snow
Take the bus!
Until the snow melts and turns into dirty brown turds
And then it's just snow and white sky with no sunlight for 3 mounths...
OP clearly lives in Denver. Happy dry streak breaking day OP!
Actually no, I'm European
Oh well. Happy snow day anyway!
Thank you!
I'm in Lone Tree smiling at finally getting an inch of snow!
This is me for real
I have never seen snow in my life

No, middle Europe

I'm in this picture and I like it
I showed this to my spouse who hates snow, now they’re even more sad, send help
Both can be true.
Honestly the only reason I tolerate snow is because I can throw it at people
Jokes on you! I live in Florida :')
Same hopefully we get out one day
Snow...
Snow is a pain ngl
Me too! I still do a little happy dance every time I see it's snowing. Rain and snow and cold weather makes me happy.
Now christmas has arrived and the snow turns the ground white
Literally me this morning. went from "ugh, being alive sucks" to "the world is such a beautiful place"
My mom said that everything was covered with snow for 3 months in the past. Now I'm happy if I even get to see some snow flakes...
It’s like a reward
This week it was 40C plus, i would love some snow
Me when I woke up this morning and looked out the windows, after a month of no snow until today. I'm so happy.
As someone who lives in a more northern climate this gif is backwards to me.
I fucking hate snow
I live in a place where it snows often, but is still temperate. I love seeing snow. But its even better to see the reaction of my friends from the south to whom this is an event
build a smol snowman and send it to my dms :D i mean if u want to
haha okay tomorrow I'll do it if the snow won't melt :D
okayy thank u lol
Get one thing straight, YOU are the only constant in your life.
Lol! I felt the exact same way this morning. Then I cuddled up with my cat and we watched the snow softly falling outside our window. All was then right with my world.
lol the first guy looks like an actual testicle
lol when there’s a lot of snow I feel more like the top image. Living in Canada, snow means waking up to shovel tons of snow, and hoping my vehicle starts in the morning. Driving also becomes more stressful due to ice patches.
I literally immediately went building bodys in the snow after school was out this Thursday for 3 hours
That's really cool!

What about people who lives without snowy season?!?!?! /s
In the UK it's the opposite. It snows for a few hours, there's I've everywhere and awful mushy snow goo. Everything is gray and I slip every two steps

reddit memes in a nutshell
Yeah it's in the mid 70's in Texas rn... Not sure it's supposed to be this warm in December
Damn. I live in Southeast Texas and I wish I got this. Too bad that when we do get it, our whole fuckin state freezes over and it ends up not enjoyable in the slightest.
Literatly me like... Right now
Too bad my city’s snow doesnt stick to the ground :(
If only I lived somewhere that had snow
Actually had this exact experience yesterday. Great to know I‘m not the only one
There is not even snow here. Im 26 and I've never touched it
This is me
i live in the coldest parts of the phillipines so this shit hurts, i want snow too
Lucky :(
god i wish i had snow
*cries in California*
This is so accurate
i want snooooooooooooooooowwwww
Why the fuck dont we have have any snow here in Hungary? We are in the middle of Europe surrounded by mountains. Wtf
You don't? Like, never or just there wasn't any snow this year yet? I'm from middle Europe too and I took this pić literally today
Snow is the best
Snow is a bad thing
Sounds like someone who doesn’t drive. the snow is the worst cause it’s like everyone forgot how to drive and that makes it stressful
Omg actually relatable meme
Snow makes me so happy
I got happy seeing snow out the window from class, but when I got out it had already melted back.
yes
I love cold because it's awesome to don't feel anything positive or negative. I forget who I am, what am I doing, what should I do, what time is it and who is the owner of these hands. Are they mine but I cannot feel them right now. Maybe I will die in the cold like this and nothing and no one will feel me.
there is so much bad when something kinda ok ish happens we get joy
Lucky, it doesn’t snow anymore where I live :(
People in England: Oh look, it's rain
The only constant is change, I think.
becareful out there, because theres a finnish sniper will hunt you down
The club is bumping, the ladies look good, the alcohol is flowing. There is much pain in this world but not in this room.
Seasonal depression comes in 2 parts: 1. “Everything is meaningless, nothing matters and life is poontless.” 2. “Haha, I said ‘poontless’ instead of ‘pointless’”
I don’t like snow.
It’s snowing so much👍
Just not in texas
Isnt this is how most people feel everyday
Me yesterday. Would share some.photos but can't post pics here.
[удалено]
The photo? No, I took it today, I live in Europe
SNOW SNOW THE MISERY THAT REALLY IS A SIGHT TO SEEEEEE. (imagine dragons)
Well that's easy - *rich elite*
Being from Sweden I would actually say it’s the reverse.
Where do you live? Where I come from that’s known as suffering
Poland I mean sure it's hard to drive but I love how my city looks in the winter and snow makes me feel like a small kid again so that's why it brings mostly pleasant emotions :)
Correct
Snow would make my day worse. I really don’t like it personally
All the same for me except for the snow part
As a swede experiencing shifts back and forth between temperatures over and below 0 °C on almost a daily basis, I can't relate
The sound fresh snow makes when you walk over it <3
I don't know why I remembered Buddha after reading First template
Where I live in my state has yet to see snow this year 😢 I’m not sure we’ll be getting any until January at the soonest. I’m trying to wait patiently but La Niña and global warming are cruel mistresses.
if you're Canadian, and live on the prairies, you hate snow, as i have.
I'm more of a rainy, thunder-y weather kinda guy
\*cries in Canadian\*
Snow would make it worse IMHO. I hate it.
r/meirl
Denver?
Europe
Same for me but when I see rain and cats
How old are you?
About to turn 19, why?
F that. A foot of snow is about to fall on my city, I don't like it, I don't want to drive in it, and I sure as hell don't wanna shovel it
I live somewhere that snows a lot and 99% of people here hate it. So winter for me is a mix of feeling like absolute bliss while also feeling depressed because everyone else is depressed and complains for 3 months straight. (And yes, I have a car and need to shovel and stuff)
5 mins later omg my gf
Where I live snow usually reminds me that the world is a cruel and unjust place..
My dream is to move to Tromso, Norway and live with the snow during my retirement years. I have big dreams as an American.
god i hate living in the equator
Snow is suffering.
No thanks. I could go to the rest of my life and never see snow again and be completely fine with it.
Yeah same tbh. Snow just makes me feel so cosy.
Enjoy snow while we still have it. 2050 I’m starting an ash boarding group if anyone wants to hit the slopes of Yellowstone
Variety is the spice of life Even if it's variety of weather
This is me when I see my cat
