Cursed SiliconGrowing up in Australia and absorbing American culture meant learning about (but never experiencing) "snow days" or really snow in general
But since moving to Seattle I gotta say I am positively *underwhelmed*
Also this is the first time it has "snowed"
At all
And it's meant to be spring now?
hobbs@CursedSilicon i might be a bit off but i don't think seattle is known for its snowfall. it's generally more of a rainy thing.
here in northwest trailerparkansas we got just over a foot of snow a few weeks ago
Krutonium://@CursedSilicon As a Canadian; That's... Barely a sprinkle. Enough to get snow days in southern states, but northern ones would just laugh at that.
I should have taken pictures, but my front lawn was taller than I was about 2 weeks ago, now it's mostly melted.
✨pencilears✨@CursedSilicon this is a Seattle thing, sometimes we get snow in March because the seasons are generally shifted a bit when you live next to the ocean. (the water takes longer to cool and longer to warm back up in summer)
Also, global warming has led to this being the warmest winter on record. So like, yeah, it's not much. We used to get more.
@pencilears The lack of rain over winter was also especially concerning tbh
@CursedSilicon ayup!! This summer is looking crispy
Mike J👹🐀 🤘🏻@pencilears @CursedSilicon March snow is not just a Seattle thing. My dad's from Colorado and I remember as a kid one year skiing on the fourth of July.
Of course it was all snow machine snow with a lot of bare spots, but they got to say they stayed open. The last natural snow was probably around the beginning of June.
