Anyone done with winter yet understands it's needed?

We had our first snow in mid-September (when it was still technically summer). We're now having the deep freeze with temperatures in the -30sC (windchills in the -40s). Yeah I'm done with winter, although I know we aren't really out of winter here until May (it had snowed in June before). Do I know it's needed? Of course. I live in a farming community and the farmers love all this snow accumulating to melt out in the spring for their crops.

We've had a snow day in May before so I get that. The rural areas here end up missing more days because of their roads the city because salt trucks don't seem to be that important

@Khetanna Snow from October to May is normal for us. September is a little early. Snow in June is not too surprising. Our rural snow removal is very good. They also deal with icy conditions promptly.

@graceylou not June! Snow removal stinks where I am because there are smaller cities woven in the main one so the smaller cities get roads done but the main one doesn't so if your block is registered the big city your street is ice while two blocks over could be cleared

@Khetanna I was gardening once in my shorts and tank top outside in a June when it started snowing. Lovely. I live off a secondary highway. The county clears off the highways very quickly. County backroads take a bit longer to get cleared unless they are on the school bus route, where the buses pick up kids from their rural homes. The local town may or may not bother clearing their streets.Sometimes there are confusions as to who has to clear which roads, the province, the county, or the town. And nothing got done. We clear our own long (2/3 km) driveway with our skid steer because we had tried the county snow removal service and it took them 4 days to get to us.

Our dang planet’s tilted.. No way around winter other than migrating south to kinda avoid it. I’ve often wondered ..and could likely search the answer, but what if we were not tilted..? I envision a band around the center too hot for life, with extremely different life forms having evolved to both the north & south of it, perhaps devoid of humans.. Tangent time 🙂

I'm pretty sure the earth wants us gone..only a matter of time ?

@Khetanna I hope not.. One of my favorite ‘arguments’ with religion pusher coming to the door is pointing to anything living in sight ..and reminding them - we’re related! We really need to acknowledge that.. In soooo many realms.

Yeah sure it's needed in some places. But uh ... I need it to go away.

I miss Songkhla, Thailand, weather; 84 degrees F year around, with cross sea breeze.

That sounds wonderful
