Hey it’s also the reality for anyone with citizenship in the United Shitheads of Amerikkka.
As someone who lives in an area with snow I’d like to say that snow really sucks to deal with. The only good thing I have to say about it is that fresh snow looks pretty. Otherwise it’s a pain in the ass to deal with. When shoveling it to clear paths you realize how heavy it can be. Black ice in the winter is also a pain, can hardly tell there is ice there but you will slip all the same.
I love my snow here, but it is getting less and less over the years 🥺
Grass is always greener on the other side :)
We've had few big floods over the last few years which washed out whole roads but generally we don't really consider the negative effects of a constantly wet or frozen environment.
Everything is just dry. Including skin :S
Winters here are also painfully dry! You use up a lot of moisturizer otherwise your skin will be super dry too.
I got more complaints about winter too, like snow can be blindingly white, snow blindness is a real condition. Oh don’t forget about the lake chill effect which means even more snow and colder temperatures. Don’t get me started on windchill and how much being deep in the negative temperatures suck. Also shouldn’t leave out how when snow compacts, thaws and refreezes it becomes super hard and dangerous is you slip on it. As yes that can be slippery too and is a real danger since you can break bones from it. Last thing I really want to add is that seasonal depression during the winter months can be absolutely brutal. Since you get less sunlight and everything is basically black and white it is a depressing as hell place to be.
The grass isn’t always greener on the other side. I would not want to live in a desert but you also should not be overly romanticizing winter. Fresh snow and icicles are pretty and all but all the other stuff really makes it less enjoyable.
