I'm jealous. I lived on a tropical island for years and didn't have to deal with seasons. I hate seasons. Some people complained about the weather never changing, but I loved it. I prefer consistency...you know...one less thing in the world to worry about. Whereas here I have to make sure I have proper winter wear, snow tires, shovels, and not to mention I freeze my balls off just to grab a smoke. Lame.

That's too bad. Snow can be a hassle sometimes like anything but I can't imagine living my whole life without ever having seen it.

Nothing is quite as calming as looking out into the night as the snow gently falls, the lights reflecting off the already fallen snow and bouncing back off the clouds.

Yup. And there's nothing like walking around in it either. I went out toward the end of the snow storm this past wednesday and my very urban neighborhood was so uncharacteristically quiet and still that it was pretty striking.

I hate snow.... Nobody in South Carolina knows how to drive in it, Including me. plus we dont have anything to deal with it. They throw some sand on the streets but besides that there isnt anything to take care of it.

On the other hand... I really enjoy how it quiets everything outside. All sounds are muffled by it, so it seems just peaceful outside.

Yeah, this is what it looked like outside my apartment.

Also, I'm moving to Austin in two weeks. I'm going to steal all the recommendations in this thread.

Heh - Hill's Cafe is across the street from my neighborhood.
The Junk Cathedral is nearby and there are plenty of smaller but naturally occuring junk displays in peoples' yards around the area.
