Just for the record, so my stance is clear: I'm absolutely indifferent towards snow, although admittedly I don't have to either shovel or clean off my car.

Winters in this part of the country are all wrong anyway. It ain't a winter until rivers freeze. :)

I was never brave enough (or stupid enough, depending on how you look at it) to attempt crossing the Neva (the river that runs through St Petersburg) when it iced over, but I've seen people do it... and I've walked along the shoreline.

It's pretty freaky, really.

Road trip to Ottawa. we'll go skate on one. (It's up to you to decide whether a canal is a river).

[insaint]

It's close enough.

As I am from the Maritimes it seems a bit colder there too. I am fine with winter , as well. Except now we live on a corner property.

[insaint]

Yeah, corner properties are evil like that. :(

I'm from the Ottawa Valley... I've never figured out how the fishes survive, since the Ottawa (which goes from 1-5 miles wide where I was born) freezes damn near solid. It's not a question of whether you can get across at all... it's a question of whether you can *still* get across in April! Which some idiots on snowmobiles try every year, which I consider proof of Darwinian selection.
I moved to TO because it's so nice and warm down here!

[insaint]

Snowmobiles? Bah. In my day, we did it on foot! Across the ice! Both ways!

[anonymous]

Ah but did you go across the ice both ways *uphill*? That's the real question!

[insaint]

Of course! Those hilly rivers are well-known around the world.

... And the comments about the Ottawa River were from Ben. Should have mentioned that. Sigh...
