The two options of New England Snow

[foxfirefey]

When faced with the horrible inevitability of Snow, you have two options -- you can either have relatively mild temperatures accompanied by big wet slushy flakes that will weigh down powerlines and knock over trees and generally just fucking suck, or you can have tiny little relatively harmless snowflakes that will do little damage, but that are tiny because it is fuckoff balls-to-the-wall cold and going outside will make you cry tiny salt-lick popsicles of sorrow.

....god I hate winter. NO WINNING. NONE.

Without even touching such fun concepts as 'freezing rain.'

Move to the Southwest! My AC's on, and I'm thinking about heading out for a swim.

I almost brained myself slipping on some ice earlier.

Actually, if you live in the right places, you will get the tiny little snowflakes of Fuckoff Cold in sufficient quantities to break trees and make roads impassable and so on and so forth.

That's always kind of fun.

Uuugh. Right now I've got 70° weather and it's humid.

I do NOT miss New England winters in the slightest. Mind you, I'm now dealing with Ohio winters now... ;p

I would gladly trade snow for oppressive tropical heat.
