“four seasons-having piece of shit” lol I’m going to start discriminating people based on their seasons. "

Don’t worry, in 50 years, no one will see snow.

Holy shit, everyone’s gonna be blind in 50 years! I’m not discounting Climate Change by any means, but why is nobody talking about this vision change you speak of?

It’s worth the trip, I promise. I grew up in Phoenix so I didn’t see it for a long time. It’s nuts. It absorbs sound really well, so after fresh snowfall, everything is so quiet it’s surreal. And then you hear the sound and sensation of walking through it, which is an experience in and of itself.

There is absolutely nothing more amazing than an early morning walk after a fresh snowfall.
The whole world seems better in those few hours before people wake up and ruin it.

It can also feel a bit eerie. Being one of the few people downtown in Seattle after a big snow is creepily silent. The random people cross country skiing to get around almost seem to sneak up behind you. When you see people snowmobiling down 1st Ave, you start to wonder if the world has ended.

I do hope you get the chance someday, it’s always cool to experience something new in nature like that. I still really want to see the Aurora Borealis someday!
But still… stay tf away from me until you’ve experienced snow, you warm-climated monster! I hope you have a good day though

When I moved to L.A. from Indiana, I met people who had never seen snow up close. It was so weird to me.

I moved from Pennsylvania to Louisiana when I was a teenager, and was most bummed about losing out on snow boarding. Now when I’m out traveling, I get to explain how fun (and practical) “hurricane parties” are. Everywhere is strange when you’re a stranger I guess
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 11 months ago
True, but in the case of L.A. it’s a little weirder because you can see snow if you look at the mountains in the winter and it isn’t a very long trip to get to that snow, so it’s more of a by choice thing.
MrShankles@reddthat.com 11 months ago
OK, that is kinda weird to me too. I haven’t been out that way yet, so I forget that there’s mountains right there too. And the more I think about it, the weirder it seems. Why wouldn’t the curiosity or even the novelty drive someone to try and go see what’s kinda right there? Maybe I just think snow is cool and am biased lol

why would anyone ever want to travel TO snow? Snow is disgusting and I live in a desert on purpose.

LA traffic kind of makes it a long trip unless you live on the outskirts.

When I taught in Compton I remember asking the kids if they had gone anywhere interesting during their summer break. One kid raised his hand and said he “went to LA”. It was like a 15-20 minute bus ride away.
