Ok sure California got 700" of snow or something insane but my hometown in ND is literally BURIED. That's a campus football field just completely buried in snow - the gates are 9-10' high.
My parents' dog, seen from their bathroom window, maybe the only fan of the situation. (They are supposed to get 18 more inches at at this point are concerned about structural damage to buildings)
@h_thoreson Oh Gosh. Where is this? I am not a fan of the snow and last Winter we barely got any, which curiously made me miss the normality of it.
@sullybiker north dakota. there is a reason nobody lives there
@h_thoreson There's nothing quite like Winter giving it a good old "Fuck you" in early Spring, just as everyone is happy to get out of it.
@h_thoreson We usually don't get so much here, but it's cold enough that it forces everyone indoors all the time, and that's the bit I can't stand.
@h_thoreson My younger sister's colleague spent a year in Helsinki and she said that Winter basically finished her off, for much the same reason.
@sullybiker My relatives are mostly Norwegian and some of them have visited the relatives that are still in Norway. I have seen pictures of where those people live. It is at least scenic even if the winters are still probably abysmal. There's no similar reward for the misery in ND
@h_thoreson I looked on the map because I realized I couldn't think of a single place there. It's very...sparse.
@h_thoreson 'Nebraska, but colder'
@h_thoreson I thought the name had a Scandinavian ring to it!
@h_thoreson The n there's this crap, when it takes me 3hrs to get into work (thanks to pandemic remote practices we don't bother anymore, thank God)
@sullybiker We got half an inch of snow this year where I live was all. I'm fine with that. A couple of days with pretty snow right at Christmas is cute. 7 months of that^^^^ makes people crazy.
