Middle of winter, day five...

[Mortymoose]

How do you tell the folk from the northern hemisphere that our winters rock?
I'm sitting once again by my trusty braai fire.... palm tree wafting In the breeze, gzd splashing in the koi pond.... ice cold draught In my hand, the kameeldoringhout crackling on the braai.... it is now day five of thirty plus degrees in my neck of the woods. Don't you just smaak african winters?

No, I would prefer a frosty snowy winter where I can build snowmen and eat hearty stews.

My niece is 13 and her American school came on their summer hols to climb Kili . Now that's their sight of winter down here. They come equipped to climb everest and all swaddled up like michelin men, all this, while their porters are lugging their stuff on their heads wearing T-shirts, shorts and plastic flip flops. oh. Poor yanks. only 50% of the class summited and the Team Mandela did it on crutches.

Move!

Snow is great… for skiing and that's it. Eventually it turns to slush and ruins my shoes.

I can eat stew anytime.

I'm staying.

EDIT: I've noticed that it's usually people who haven't lived with snow who tend to romanticise it. Don't get me wrong. That first snowfall of the year is awesome (especially when you're a kid and you're pretty much assured school will be closed the following day) but after that… suckage.

Snow is a fantastic novelty for a vacation. It's horrible to live with...

And yet it's the people who live in the snow who are the most successful and happiest per capita, as you go south towards the warmth, the crazy just gets worse until you get to banana republic lands of Africa. Maybe there is something to this snow which makes humans better?

Jip. s'true.

It sux to drive on and it sux even more to dig a path out for your car or for yourself. The worst bit is scraping windshields.

My worst sno/freezing slush experience. Wandering around Amsterdam all weekend wearing Black Guccis with holes and I was one step removed from getting trench foot on my return to London.
I had gone on a cheap sex weekend and I had summer clothes because snow was not forcast. Then it came.
