I would have expected to hear something about how these things get eaten by road salt, but i guess you can just have both.

there hasn't been any snow yet where i live this-is-fine

My area has mostly stopped getting snowfalls this-is-fine

When i was a kid, we used to build snowmen every winter. Just rolled up giant balls of the stuff and stacked them in the garden. Now we have maybe two days per winter where it doesn't melt to grey slush immediately. It's gotten to the point where i immediately go out and take a walk when we get snow and i have time because i just love snow. The way it makes the light stray, blankets the world, makes the air taste so fresh and icy, muffles every sound besides the creaking under my boots. And apparently, now it can also kill techbros.

I 1000000% agree with u and I miss snow so much

Ugh, same. The childhood winters where there would be a foot of fluffy snow on the ground, but the sky would be clear and the sun beaming - not warm enough to melt everything into slush but enough to just lay back (with jacket & snow pants ofc) on the snow and photosynthesize comfy
