Stephen Morris Posted January 24, 2005 Report Share Posted January 24, 2005 My best mate is now in Boston, MA at college there. Yesterday he sent me a picture of outside his window. The snow had half covered a car on the other side of the street - so that's like 3 foot of snow! I'm not too bothered about the snow, there's a tiny little bit here on the floor and the rooves but nothing to write home about. If I liked the snow a lot I would go skiing or snowboarding, or just on holiday in Canada. Snow is ok, but I'll live without it. Stephen.

Can you not be accused of associating the ideals of Lapland, North Pole etc with the Christmas we celebrate over here? It's really interesting (well fairly interesting) how people do this. For example, the original Christmas took place in Bethlehem (no snow) and then there's Christmas in the Southern Hemisphere which involves Santa on surf boards, barbeque's and the likes. I would imagine only 10% of the world (not sure where I got that statistic from) have a white Christmas regularly. Sorry, I'm not quite sure where that rant came from! The snow is great, I remember one year spending about 3 hours trying to ride up a steep slope that was covered in ice and snow and had no run up. I was at it (so to speak) for ages. I'd like a bit of snow before I stop riding, would be nice to ride in it one last time (Y) Stephen Morris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N.Wood Posted January 24, 2005 Report Share Posted January 24, 2005 You're giving up riding Stephen?!? (N) I'm gonna be the only one left soon, we're dropping like flies! Anyways... We had about 5 minutes of snow here today, but nothing settled at all. It was just freezing all day. So it was a little bit crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
