For the people who live where it snows
 

I grew up on top of a mountain in NJ. When it snowed our power would go out and we would be snowed in for days. I was thirteen years old when I decided I would move some place where it didn't snow. Eventually I ended up California. If I really want to see snow it's about forty-five minutes north of me. Otherwise I never ever see snow.

Here is my question.... When you all know it's going to snow why don't you all stay the fuck home?

I live thousands of miles from New England and I knew a storm was coming for you all... Meanwhile I'm sitting here on Tiktok watching videos of you all sliding off the road and pile ups on freeways.

I wish everyone was as smart as you, and lived life like you do.

Because then we wouldn't have to see you complain about fucking EVERYTHING

reminds me of your thread asking why people live in Florida since hurricanes sometimes hit there.

I'm not complaining. Just wondering why.

That's an entirely different thing.

I have family who live in Florida. A few times a year they have to board up their house and leave because of a hurricane. Pass.

People say the thing same about California and fires. "Aren't you afraid of fires?". Nope. I moved to California in 1989 and never seen a large fire. We had one by us... But that's different than having to board up my house four times a year a leaving.

We had an earthquake alert this morning. There was a 5.9 in Nevada. I didn't feel anything. That was the first time my phone gave me the earthquake alert.

Canadians will walk in the worst weather to get to Tim Hortons.

We play and love this shit with 110F summers and -40F winters.. go google polar swimming (or polar bear plunge) to see just what we can put up with. There are teens that walk to school wearing shorts in weather that your navy seals would say "fuck this shit".

if we did that, we'd be home for 6+ months of the year :)

I hate snow and winter. 7 months of cold weather, little to no sun. This is Poland. I dream to spend winters in Spain (Canary Islands) or Sicilia. Someday when i reach enough earnings online, my wife will quit her 9 to 5 job and we will move to Spain foe every winter

Roch, for real, this thread is obtuse as fuck

you live in a gated community and work online in one of the safest parts of one of the wealthiest states in a so-called "first world" nation and you're wondering why some people have to go out in bad weather to do crazy ish like go to work. a lot of people need to actually leave their homes to pay the bills and feed their fams even in criminally arctic climes

the stuff about hurricanes extra special. like you, I decided where I wanted to live 14 years before it happened. took a lot of saving up but ultimately was delayed for a few years until JA lifted their ban on pet importation. in that time went through multiple hurricanes and an earthquake in a few nations, and like here, always had the funds for the safest non-expat housing which most of my friends could not/can't afford

when Melissa was on it's way, I could have bounced to my mom up in Canada, but I stayed cuz I have a goat (pet not food) and I knew some peeps in my community would need shelter. they had no choice to leave, where the fuck would a semi-rural born JA'er seek refuge internationally from a storm? I got one of my friends and her fam out on my fam's airmiles cuz her job would have been in jeopardy without net access, but beyond that?

I can't even fathom what you were thinking composing your OP. suggest you spend less time on fb and maybe read up on a whole world that exists outside your community

not tryna start a fight, simply being forthright that your attitude reeks of unaware privilege. you can change that without even going out to cut your grass to adhere to HOA rules

remember an entire world exists beyond the confines you've set for yourself. explore it, even if just online. you're totally capable of that

peace

Exactly this. We'd be home 6 months and then do the same in summer when it's hotter than the heated, humid soaked air in FL.

So either we go out, or stay home and scroll GFY all day.

i cunt a4d2 live where it snows... :(

Because in many countries where it snows during the winter, it can snow every day for weeks or months...people aren't bothered by it, they adjusted. Can't be locked inside for months and why would you even? Same with heat...people get used to it and adapt.

I tend to stay in alot mroe in the winter. I practically hibernate.

This is when I smile when Americans say they can take over Canada at any time - seriously - as soon as it hits below 0 they'll be running back to warm temps and even if they hung around it won't be long - the cold will force them to run back over the border to warmer temps because taking over Canada isn't worth frost bite. Can't reach us in our homes when there is 15 feet of snow running up the driveway - you'll slip LOL

There's the whole 10th Mountain Division right there 60 miles from Canada, you simps are not that special, the Army has 2 divisions trained specifically for that environment.

Aren't you done with stalking us Americans yet? Nobody here wants that fucking place.
Well... except for me... I'm SEO'ing all over your country now.

dumbass anti-American,

All 49 contiguous states and Alaska have recorded temperatures below 0°F

ok, now i really want to visit Canada. sounds like an experience.

What is that weird F? please use human language

I was gonna say Rochard's post starting this thread was the dumbest thing I read, but then I scrolled to this.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

I don't mind the snow very much, it's the cold and wind that annoy me.

Regarding power outages and being snowed in, that doesn't happen much anymore. Our power grid is very robust. I don't even feel the need to buy a generator. The people I know who have them, never need to use them.

the canadian used farenheit, i simply used the same. besides, you're in the caribbean, you should be familiar with F. also most everyone knows, 0f = -18c

actually Canadians use Celsius - I was dumbing it down for some

others such as yourself - I do apologize

a diabetic alcoholic chain smoking fatso dumbing something down, that's funny. you're the one who didn't know it gets down below -18c in the entire continental USA. maybe put the liquor down.

apology accepted.

Same... shovelling snow is actually really good exercise. After I do my driveway, paths, porches etc, I will go and shovel for a few neighbours. It's especially fun when there is a major dump of snow.

And then look at how much of Canada's population in Ontario and Quebec is actually south of ID, MT, WY, ND, SD, MN, WI, MI, NY, VT, NH, ME, etc...

some people voluntarily move to Alaska

LOL well first off I don't drink alcohol nor chain smoke - my wife doesn't think I'm fat so most likely you're getting all your information from a bad source which I can figure out is who. Like seriously - someone can't make a joke in the main forum without the trolls voicing their dislike for me. I already have one stalker who can't sleep at night or wake up without thinking of me. I had such high hopes with you that you were intelligent enough not to fall for bullshit.

oh well - I have nothing bad to say about you just you're really off base when it comes to describing me and sorry that you're falling for it. I dont have to apologize for anything

Come on dynamo, legacy. Don’t fight. Don’t get all oiled up and wrestle… wearing tight spandex… getting all sweaty …. Mmmm… gotta go, bye.

i'll go easy on legacy for you markie mark. :)

but i simply pointed out the legacy's psycho fantasy of Americans invading canada but scampering home because it's just too darn cold to invade is based on dumbassery.

peace.

You left out the fact that he's a fucking fraud and stalker :2 cents:

are you claiming all of your anti-American posts are jokes?

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh :thumbsup

So, no wrastlin’? Come on.. he said he’s gonna bang your mom. WRASTLE!!

Who is stalking you? It's time for Proof or Ban, you fucking lying fraud.

I can post proof of you doing it to others.. it's funny how you suddenly shut the fuck up and bounce your lying stalking diabeetus faggot ass right out of the thread when it happens.

I do not live in a gated community. Not sure where you get that from.

Not liking him is one thing but why do you call Legacy a fraud?

I lived where it snowed. There are some pros to it. As a kid we had sleds and build forts and and had epic show ball fights. Even as you get older... I used to ski, we had snowmobiles... I myself had a trike, a Yamaha 250.

But then one day you notice you spent an entire day shoveling snow. Then the power goes out for two days the entire family huddles up in front of the wood stove, the same wood stove you spend all summer collecting wood for.

I don't want to adjust. And I was bothered by it. It's a major pain in the ass.

I still have family and friends in NJ and New England. They are on Facebook saying "here we go again". This morning I went to a ground breaking ceremony a few blocks from my house and took my dog. I've decided to live some place where it doesn't snow and we don't have such problems.

I used to hate Snow but not any longer. I consider myself lucky to live in a place with such dynamic seasons. It just makes me love spring even more. Since I bought my new house I have got into gardening, geek style. Raspberry Pi’s and sensors for a smart garden, etc. This year I will add a webcam to the sensor data and feed it to AI to try to increase foliage . Fun! Nerdy! Somebody beat me up!
