    Heh, not fallen over yet. Probably because I drive everywhere but I've had a few close calls. Worst one was 2 steps outside my front door. Managed to save it though.

    Had a couple of slips but no falls yet, though winter has generally only been getting started at this time of the year.

    Also, lol.

    Considering it's pissing rain here, I'd gladly take the risk of slipping on ice if it got me some snow.

    England is not built for snow/ice, you can have it. Had a few days of snowfall here, that settled and then its turned into ice after a week of -5 temperature days. Travelling is a nightmare, airports can't operate, train stations are down and most cars can't handle even straight roads let alone hilly areas.

    On the way back from work earlier, there was an Audi gunning it in front of me. Smoke everywhere yet he was moving at like 2mph.

    Stupid Europeans can't handle a bit of a snow, as usual.

    I'm still 99% sure RTE set up the camera then splashed water over the pavement for it to freeze and played the waiting game for that second one.

    Crafty bastards.

    I'd fall a dozen times over if it meant I could have snow. Alas, it is not to be. Stupid rain is all we get down here.
    However, that allows me to lol freely.

    In the grim coldness of Canadian winter, there is only snow. There is no falling amongst the canucks, only unending cold and the laughter of thirsting rocksalt.

    I don't get snow in my city except in the mountains a few miles behind my house. It's too warm here for snow in Santa Barbara, CA.

    We almost had white Christmas up in the ranges on the border between New South Whales and Victoria. Snowed the week before Christmas.

    It was kind of surreal considering most Christmases are over 35 degrees Celsius.

    I'd trade all of Estonia's snow if it meant I could just for once walk through the door in the morning without playing battering ram.

    Christmas in Western Australia was 39 degrees Celsius. We are surrounded by bush, and there was a small bush fire- or a small fire in the bush that could have easily spread. It didn’t get out of control because we were prepared and it was put out before it could do any real damage. Although it was quite smoky, so we spent Christmas walking around in the bush making sure it had all been put out and checking for damage.

    And from that video I can easily say I’m glad we don’t get snow - it looks painful. Summer Christmas all the way. :)

    But that's not snow, it's ice. Snow is awesome. :3

    If he's lucky he might get a spot on the Late Late Toy Show. If he's very lucky. Usually it's just kids with terminal cancer and scum from Crumlin who get to be on it. o:
