Anybody want some snow?

As some of you may know, I live in Austria and winters are always fun around here. We didn't have much snow the past few years but this year it's getting out of control. It's been snowing all day for three days and there's no sign of it stopping any time soon. I didn't have anything better to do, so I took some pictures with my 1337 digital camera aka Nintendo 3DS. Basically, imagine some guy running around in that mess with his 3DS only wearing shorts, a T-shirt and shoes while all neighbours are busy shovelling snow. Too bad nobody saw me, I would have loved to see the looks on their faces. XD

There's about 1 meter (or more) of snow everywhere you look, thankfully not on the streets though. Even with a reasonably cleared street, it's still hell to drive up this hillside I live on. If anything is in your way and you're forced to slow down, you're basically screwed. Same problem if you're driving downwards, since you can cause someone to get stuck just by being on the street too and if one car gets stuck you're automatically stuck too as the street is usually only half as wide during a snowy winter. So yeah, driving a car around here is a lot of fun right now.

Thankfully, this massive amount of snow also has a positive aspect for me. With so much snow (that isn't already rock solid) in our garden, I can go apeshit with my katana on that huge hill of snow you can see in the above picture. XD Last time I did that I lasted about 15 minutes outside, again only wearing shorts, a T-shirt and shoes. Took a while to recover from that though, so I might want to wear some winter clothing this time around.

So, anybody want some of this snow? I'll give you a nice discount. Seriously though, how are things where you guys live? No snow but you want some? Satisfied with how things are? I'd like to know.
