The Time of Dread: Monthly Update, December Edition · 4:19pm Dec 1st, 2014
I hate snow, I hate snow,
I wish Winter died.
This white crap I hate to see,
My rage will be well-supplied.
I hate snow, I hate snow,
Can it rain instead?
This white crap I hate to see,
I wish I could just drop deeeeeeaaaaaaaaad!
...Normal Jingle Bells isn't a proper representation of my feelings regarding winter.
So anyway, I'm like 3222 words into the next chapter of MViaH, so I'll probably manage to get it out before Christmas. I just need to finish writing a tense conversation (A.K.A. the bane of my existence (after snow, of course))
So yeah, you guys can look forward to an early Christmas gift, if my story can even be considered good enough for that.

I hate Sunset Shimmer and EQG, why can't it be Spike instead? Fim stories right now I dread!
I take snow over rain any day. Cold is always better than wet.

But snow is both cold and wet!
At least rain has the decency to go away by itself after it's done falling.
2626867 Snow is not that wet, unless you melt it? Where you live? One of those warm places, where snow melts easy?
As long as I don't melt snow in my hands(or underwear), or don't have holes in my boots, I haven't gotten wet from snow.
I would argue, that as long as it's snowing powder (not slush), it's more dry than anytime else. Also its more fun to crunch under the legs than walking taught puddles. You can walk on snow, no problem, but the puddles are all splashy and stuff.
Also slipping on ice is way more fun than slipping on mud.

Well, when the snow gets knee-deep, it's going to get inside your boots no matter what. And when the temperature decides to yo-yo around the freezing point, puddles of slush are inevitable, and then they freeze over into a chaotic deathtrap of slippery rubble. And then you get three more feet of snow on top of that. And then two more feet the next week. And then freezing rain. And then more snow.
And when it isn't snowing, it usually adjusts the misery levels by having howling gale winds of frigid pain instead.
And I never slipped on mud in a way that made me fall on my ass, so I don't see what's so fun in having a sheet of ice acquaint your knees with the pavement.
My experience with winter is that it's either snowy wet and miserable; or windy, "freeze-your-nostrils-shut-with-every-inhale" cold, and miserable.
2627252 Tie your pants over your boots, or buy boots that have those pull string thingies at top? Or snowshoes, for walking on top of snow. If there is ice on top, you can probably walk on it.
As for Ice, I just learned how to walk on it, without falling. Key is to kick off sideways, while slipping forward, kinda like ice skating for puddles, and having decent soles for the grumbled ones. In my opinion its kinda fun to do.
Freezing rain does suck, but at least it looks really pretty on the trees, at sunrise/sunsets. But it is rain, not snow.
As for wind and nostrils, get a overhead scarf, or ski mask. Also some ether containing ting for the sniffles (I like peppermint candy, some people use sniffing tobacco, or tea).
2 Feet is a lot of snow tho. I usually don't get over 1 and a half feat or so, and its under a feet for most winter.
You should consider moving if you don't like it so much.
