Hey Pandas, Do You Have A Favourite Tradition With Snow?

Snow day breakfast! Every snow day the (now grown) kids had, either my husband or I would make a BIG breakfast before they went out to play.

I like driving at night when its snowing. Also Ill fill the bed of my truck with snow and look for a field, or parking lot to do donuts in. The added weight slings the truck around so fast! Its like being part of some Nasa experiment.

Shoveling...LOL just kidding. Nobody likes shoveling.

Snow ice cream! We would put every cake pan and metal mixing bowl outside to collect clean snow, then stir in vanilla and sweetened condensed milk until it was the consistency of ice cream. One of my favorite childhood memories, making snow ice cream sundaes with my dad.

wishing it would snow... :c i live in cali.

Typically, I geek out over the pretty snowfall and then watch the entire city fall apart for a couple days (I live in Atlanta, GA; we do NOT know how to deal with snow)

This was something I did all through my 20s, and into my early 30s, until my daughter was born. Every year, with the first snowfall, I would watch the beautiful, animated short film 'The Snowman. It is set to some of the most beautiful music I've ever heard, and is about a young boy who finds that his beloved "first snow" snowman has come to life. The Snowman whisks the boy away to a place where all the snowpeople gather to celebrate Christmas. It was released around 1986 out of Canada or Europe, and is no doubt now available to stream at home. It's very lovely and poignant, with none of the annoying cutesy-cute American "noise" in the background. Everyone who loves the first snowfall of winter should see see it!

I wish I had one... I live in Mumbai India,so no snow, but it does get pretty cold in the mornings while swimming practice around 5:30 am. Sooo

I am still at school. There are two classes that have the same lunch break time (we don't have all the same time) so every Tuesday there is a HUGE snowball fight. Ofc some people melt the snow into ice, so it's a bit painful too

Don't get much snow living in the UK but my first instinct is always to spin around in it like Winona Ryder in Edward Scissorhands.

I love snow but hardly get it here in the UK where i live use to get it quite a lot when we were kids.

I used to find the deepest snow drift near the door and chuck my tiny dog in it. She thought it was the greatest thing ever. She'd burrow around in there having a grand ol time and walk out wagging and all jazzed.

I feel like I should also add mine.
My favourite thing to do would have to having these massive strategic snowball wars with my cousins and neighbors. We'd build these huge walls and boundaries out of snow, one of us just making snowballs, one person throwing, and one or two people working on making the fort larger. My cousins and I would on one team, the neighbor kids on another and these things could last for hours until our parents finally told us we needed to come inside and warm up.

I live in Western Australia so our winter is your summer in the Northern Hemisphere and vice versa. On rare occasions, it snows at a place called Bluff Knoll down south of Perth in July. Snow lasts briefly but always makes the news. Occasionally it gets cold enough for heavy hail in Perth. One famous storm a few years ago damaged heaps of cars. They were sold discounted so sometimes you see dimpled cars driving around.
Anyway, now we are coming into summer with temperatures already 30C plus. The guy who mentioned the scorching sand was right - way too hot for bare feet! Hope Christmas Day isn't 40C plus this year! We still eat all the traditional stuff but with lots of seafood too and salads too. Kids go mad with water fights under the sprinkler or swimming. Merry Christmas!

Every time it snows a lot, me and my friends build an igloo. Then we sleep in it for the night. One time it fell in the night and I was the only one to wake up. Good times, good times.

It sure is beautiful here in the mountains and the pines when it snows but I'm one to say it's prettier when you are on the inside looking out! When it snows, I light the fireplace, put on some music and cuddle with the cats on the sofa with a nice cup of tea and a book!

Giggle like a maniac, (because we never get snow where I live) put on 10 layers of clothes ,and proceed to beat any challengers in snowball fights.

We hardly get any snow here in the UK the last snow was about 5 years ago but we have been told we could get it this year, at the moment the temp goes from 5C to 4C.
