My university closed today because of a snow storm. This usually happens about twice a year. feels good living in Canada. If your schools don't get closed because of snow storms, you don't live in a real country

My schools get closed due to hurricanes. Sort of counts?

We had that storm pass through here, too. It was a mere shadow of the storms I remember from my youth- I can still see blades of grass sticking out from the snow- but even so, local schools were cancelled today. This weather is spoiling us. I don't like it.

>>8356615 My school never gets closed down to weather. But I don't have to attend so fuck you. You have to rely on weather, I can just choose when I want to attend or not.

I remember one day when I was in primary school we had a school day cancelled because there was a week straight of 45c weather. Had something similar in high school but the school had us just use the schools pools to cool off at lunch

>>8356615 I was born in West Siberia, at the North, then moved even further to the Extreme North. Our schools and kindergartens used to be closed every time temperature drops below -40. At -30 however we were playing outside. Sometimes it was disappointing when temperature was like -38. We still had to go to school.

>>8356615 You don't know how easy you have it Canada. We head snowmageddon not too long ago. We had a fucking inch of snow, the entire nation shut down. We managed to pull ourselves through so if we can survive that with no significant loss of tea, I'm sure you can manage your little storm.

>>8356897 An inch of snow destroys us too. I've never seen more then four or five inches in my life. I don't know how you freaks in your frozen wastelands live. And that goes for Minnesota, North Dakota, Canda, Sweden, Norway too.

Just finished dropping 6" of snow on me about an hour ago and already it is melting. On a plus note I won't have to shovel the walk.

>>8356795 Yeah. The worst thing is cleaning the house after the flood. Oh god it's so tiring and i can't sleep because of the mosquito. Just look at it. I don't know why Jakarta still a capital city now.

>>8356928 Well, we usually clean corridors in snow and it was pedestrian way, you are not allowed to whatevermobiling there. So to say mother when she was young used to land from the chopper in taiga (to collect berries and mushrooms) or to carry me over the swamp (using big oil pipe as a bridge) when we both were after berries and mushrooms. In the town she simply used to pull a sled where I was seating. Does it counts as somethingmobiling?

Sorry, Canada. You're just showing that you can't handle the snow (as individuals). The city Stockholm can't handle snow for shit. Subway fucks up, busses fucks up etc. But we never close them because of that.

>>8357252 You need to realize that the canada you know and talk to the most on here is pretty much the same as Michigan. Even the japanadians in hongcouver don't know shit about snow. The real snow niggers in canada are in the prairies and are slavic.

One of our villages got 7 meters of snow.

>>8357303 >implying our cool moist northern pine forests aren't awesome I can do that too. I can also enjoy my off season by putting on a jacket and grabbing my board/skis. You can't take off your skin when it's 100+ and 100% humidity for months at a time.
