It snows very rarely in Northern Ireland- a week a year, usually, and it's usually gone by midday.
 
It is still coming and going here in Switzerland, I'mn momentarily commutating between the mountains where there lies still enough snow and here in the downlands where the days varies between around 20 degrees warmth and rainfall at 5 degrees... ;) hey, it's april

I live in Wisconsin. Enough said. North-Central Wisconsin to be slightly more precise.

If it snows here, it's a tiny bit.

A love of sled dogs, without an abundance of snow? My Malamute in particular L O V E S snow. Winter in Wisconsin is heaven for him.
 
Never seen snow (in person) my entire life. :(

Part of me wants to experience it at least once in my life but another part is too chicken and thinks I won't be able to survive the cold. :cringe:
 
Haha, don't worry Dann, it isn't that cold!
 
Well snow forms only at freezing temperatures right? Anything below 20 degrees C and I'm uncomfortable already. :blush: Yes I'm a wuss...

Wear lots of layers then :).

Do you ever go on holiday to colder places?
 
No.

Farthest north I've been to is Zhengzhou in the spring and Nanjing in autumn, for work. The temperature in Nanjing then was like 3 degrees or something. I was wearing like 5 layers, gloves, hat and everything. And it was only autumn! What more subzero temperatures and snow? :cry:

did china get 15 feet of snow this winter .... I saw that in a local newspaper?

3 degrees and freezing ...... no wow here ..... try minus 30 ...... here in quebec cars wont even start at that temperature! all of this with 2 feet of snow! Heck we even have to get WINTER tires for our cars !:)
 
hence the " :cry: "

While I was saddled down with all that gear the locals were skipping along merrily with just one jacket and pointing and laughing at me. :cry:

China is huge!

Things like this could probably happen in one part of it but not another.

Nature cares not for man made borders :).

Cold is horrible, and since you (I assume) haven't been hooked to skiing, there's no reason, IMO, why you should seek colder weathers.:)

It was snowing up until a couple of weeks ago, and is disappearing at the moment. You'd figure you'd get used to it after 20 years, but it only feels worse. The only good things about it is skiing and that it makes the spring seem so much happier...

I find +3 colder than -10 actually. It has do do with moisture in tha air.

Days off of school due to winter weather. (It's related to the difficulty of transporting students under such conditions)

Under what conditions. What's so difficult about that:p

Been there, done that. But I can get my Lada running at -30 Celsius. Wake up every morning to drive that freezing coffin. Do you have cylinder-block heater? This winter low point was at -33 where I live. 50km eastwards it was -39.
