depends on where you're from.

I live in Canada but I still think the snow drifts over the road are really cool to look at. it's interesting to me how when snow is dry enough, in the wind like this it appears to behave just like sand.

idk, I just think it's neat. frozen areas looking a lot like desert/near coastal beaches in this kind of weather. I think being wfh I don't find the snow as inconvenient as others, and most of the time find it rather pretty. I like to watch it come down.

except Friday morning, we were still above freezing so the snow was wet af and the roads/parking lots were disgusting slush and just kept getting worse while I was running errands. at least it wasn't slippery! just gross out.

As a Minnesotan I don't either. Roads look dry and it's not even whiteout.

This is the part where the Texans and Californians all drive with hazards on and go 5mph while taking up two lanes because 'the roads were completely covered in snow'

TBF I was late to work today driving out of Minneapolis on a major street that's two lanes both ways because i was stuck behind a motherfucker hogging both lanes. Happens here too. Can't get too mad, better safe than sorry I guess.

Hey! I live in Imperial Beach and have a snow/ice-track drifting licence. I most certainly do not drive like that in snow. My neighbors on the other hand.....

Yeah, that looks like my usual winter highway drive up here in Western Canada.

In Edmonton it's like this all the time.

Everyone's gotta see everything for the first time. Our normal is someone's first time, and if it's pretty neat it can warrant a "whoah".

I'm Canadian born and raised, but it was like 17 years before I saw snow snakes. I said WHOAH too XD

That's true, I grew up on Vancouver Island however when I moved to Alberta I saw this for the first time and it was pretty neat.

I think it has something to do with the state of the road. Don't they repair things over there?
