I despise snow. Sure, it looks pretty at first... until you realise that you've got to put up with all the crap that comes along with it. The cold. I don't know about you, but I'm not a huge fan of sub-minus-20-degree temperatures day in and day out. With windchill, your skin will turn to ice in a matter of minutes outside. My hands are nearly permanently dry and cracked because of it, and I wear gloves.
Then you've got the people. Oh my. The people are pretty much the worst part of it. You see, for whatever reason, whenever it snows, people suddenly get stupider. A lot stupider. They stop paying attention to their surroundings and responding to others in public. They lose what little skills they had in piloting their vehicles and wind up running down pedestrians at every other crosswalk. For some reason they feel that they don't have to shovel the sidewalks outside their houses, even though it's illegal not to (not like anyone would ever take a complaint seriously, of course, so fuck that).
What's perhaps worst, though, is that these people inflate to about twice their regular size via their donning of large, puffy clothing, and become about twice as slow as they are normally. Since the average person is already quite slow-moving, this means that now they are incredibly slow-moving. With this extra space taken up by their ridiculous attire, and because nobody fucking shovels their sidewalk, this means that I constantly get backed up behind slow-moving fuckwits who are completely unaware of the environment around them. And fat chance one of them moving out of the way for you - nope, it's always got to be me who climbs over the snowbank so this asshole can trudgeon on by unimpeded. Every. Single. Fucking. Time.
So yeah, fuck snow. It only makes an already intolerable world even worse. But damn is it picturesque!
