Cracked open the 4L (US gallon) bottle of maple syrup, poured about a litre into a small bottle in the fridge for everyday use 😂, and store the giant bottle out on the “porch freezer”. Also had to shovel our way to the ruts on the road (made by a neighbour with a big pick-up), since the plows didn’t make it to our street to plow the 2 feet of snow for about 40 hours, and I had to get to work. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Ontario blizzards!

But I’m learning. Sounds fun but I'd still be scared! BTW about the deadly creatures of Australia. That’s a beat-up; the crocs are only in the far north tropics; the city swimming beaches are shark-netted; and venomous snakes are mostly shy -- so you can "go bush" a lot and never see one. No one carries a gun in the wild here (unless they are hunting) as there are no large land predators. But I don’t think I’d feel safe going into the North America woods without a gun, on account of possible attack by bears, wolves, mountain lions, bison and moose!

@@a24-45 oh no we go out on frozen lakes and fish although they're more conventional sized ones. Our state has over 10000 of them alone which makes for a lot of travelers to our neck of the woods so to speak. As for the animals you listed you'd have to basically go into forests to ever come across them and even then yoir chances of encountering them would probably be the same as coming across a man eating shark. You're actually more likely to run into a deer with your car on the road than anything else as they're plenty of them around. But back to ice fishing on lakes it sounds scary and has its hazards sure but once you've done it it isn't that scary. Heck we drive out vehicles out there to get to some great fishing spots. It's not as scary as it sounds.

I came from the North and lived in the South for several years. I had to admit that I had taken salt trucks and plows for granted all my life. I drove to work after 2 inches of snow (with the same car I'd had in the North) and it was terrifying, because the road looked exactly the same as everything else (instead of "magically" melting) and I didn't know where I was supposed to be. What I did NOT understand is why all my activities got cancelled "for safety" when the temperature dropped below freezing. People were terrified about the ice, yet the roads were completely bare and we hadn't had rain. That's not how ice works ;)

And furthermore, having a ton of snow is no excuse to miss work. They EXPECT you to leave 2 hours early to make it on time. It was literally a policy for the healthcare system I worked at that there would be no excused time off if you missed work due to a snowstorm. I know someone who literally grabbed a ride from a snow plow operator so they could get to work at a clinic just to answer the phones to tell patients the clinic was closed that day. Closed for the patients. Not the employees 🙄

So like a midwesterner she thought nothing of it and got up and ready and hopped in her car to head for work. Once she got on a main road she was double checking the time cuz it was still dark out as usual but there was no one around. Even stopping at a gas station there were no cars there or tracks indicating any had been out and about.

By then the locals would have bought up all the milk & bread in the grocery store, chosen which ditch to drive into, etc., and it was safe for us transplanted northerners to drive! My dad took me to a snowy parking lot at 16 to teach me how to skid & what to do if it happened.

I got my driver’s license in Georgia. I went to college in Minnesota. My dad’s advice was at the first snow, go into an empty parking lot and do donuts, slam on brakes/gas.& drift to get a feel for how the car reacts. And, yes, you do everything slower on the roads … accelerating, turning, changing lanes, and stopping.

You can roll your car if you're going forward too fast, and you over-correct and you now have a sideways car still moving across the ice in the same direction as when it was driving forwards..... probably weren't going fast enough to do that in a parking lot tho. That's how people fall off the road, they over-correct

I'm originally from Wisconsin and your neighbor's accent is great! My brother and I played euchre, we had a screened in porch freezer, and our dad taught us to handle a car on a small lake (after it had frozen completely) so we could pull out of "unexpected" spins. So much is relevant here! We visited relatives in Kentucky and everything shut down when snow was predicted. After university in Ohio where people could drive in the snow and ice, I relocated to Central California where it doesn't snow, and rain will shut down the roads. It can go from 70° to putting on tire chains twice on the drive to Oregon because of severe snow conditions. And nobody here knows what euchre is, or or a "bubbler" either.

Fargo it gets to -20F without wind, or thats -45F with wind. I don't think most people in America know the definition of cold. You can't describe cold and hot until you go from -45F to 105F. You experience that, and I'll give you the right to complain about the temperature 😜

Merry Christmas everyone, gonna go grab the cake out of the garage to thaw for tomorrow (and no, it's not in a spare freezer, it's just that cold in my garage, she was totally right about the Tupperware lol).

We’re Ohioans in Sanford, and I laugh when they start announcing they’re closing schools TWO DAYS before the snow even gets here! I do disagree on the ice bit tho, but that’s because central NC has a very different kind of ice, with the Mountains to the West and Ocean to the East, and the competing wind patterns.

Yeah, and I can confirm that this does NOT work in North Carolina. When it's just below freezing, and you put the ice cream cake a teensy bit too close to the house... Ice cream needs to a lot colder than we get here. I grew up in IL and IN, where you could put the ice cream outside in December, and not bring it in until either March or long after its freezer burned.

An acquaintance from Louisiana told a story once about one winter when she was a kid, how it started snowing right before Christmas break, and her teacher stopped class so everyone could go outside and look at the snow. I chuckled a little and replied, "You can tell I'm from the Midwest. As kids, if we got excited about the first snowflakes of the winter, our teachers just said, 'Calm down, we've got at least three more months of this!'"

I learned to drive near Chicago, and now live in Maine. My 3 years younger brother lives in the southwest (NM). I visited him once when they had like, 2 inches of snow. It was exactly like that. But I think the best one was when we had gone to Albuquerque and they had about 3-4 inches of snow, and the State Police were turning cars around. We pulled up and the trooper told us why and my dad just told him "We're from Chicago." The trooper just smiled and said, "Oh. Ok. Just be careful." and let us on our way. Only took us about a half hour longer than normal (200 mile trip to Roswell).

Accurate, today was the first big snow where I am in Michigan and I still went to the store. Everyone was out, I kept sliding, I passed someone who had run into a telephone pole, every where I went the parking lots were full, every time I ran in for something I'd come back with an inch of snow on my car, at least.
