it's snowing again and the roads are getting whiter and whiter

the parked cars are totally covered and the hill across the road is totally white

woohoo 

In the US, when the snow hits the ground and immediately melts, we say that it is not "sticking".

When it gets colder and starts to build up like dandruff on the grass, it is said to be "sticking" to the ground. Your term seems to be "lying", from your intial post.

You realize that at this temperature that snow is going to have it's best "stickyness" for the effective creation of snowballs. Every year at first snow our university, would have a campus wide snowball fight. Rather a good time.

If the snow falls in large fluffy flakes and accumulates rapidly, we liked to car ski. You pop the trunk and grab on and let the car drag you down the street. I am not recommending that anyone do this, as it is a judgement thing.

Just a warning, you need at least 8 inches of snow to try this. You need 4 lane wide streets. Do not do this on a road in which cars are parked along the curb.

Once the snow gets this deep, you can barely get above 20mph, anyway.

Driving in snow is an oxymoron. It is more like "surviving a controlled skid".

In snow, if you hit the brakes, expect to start spinning in circles. Imaging the number of parked cars you can hit before coming to a stop.


Nothing wrong with a good snowball fight. The key is to attack with a flurry to get in close. Grab your enemy and do the old "stuff the snowball down the pants or if it is a female, down the shirt" trick.

the snow is about 4-5 inches where i live. i just went to the local shop and smacked a wee boy in the heid with a snowball. he did deserve it. i also scared the shit out of my mate, he was sitting in the back shop, eating a chicken curry and i pelted the window with a snowball and he jumped up and spilt his curry everywhere. ahh the joys of snow, now all i need is to be snowed in tomorrow, so i can avoid work.
