    I do hope you get the chance someday, it's always cool to experience something new in nature like that. I still really want to see the Aurora Borealis someday!

    But still... stay tf away from me until you've experienced snow, you warm-climated monster! I hope you have a good day though

    It's worth the trip, I promise. I grew up in Phoenix so I didn't see it for a long time. It's nuts. It absorbs sound really well, so after fresh snowfall, everything is so quiet it's surreal. And then you hear the sound and sensation of walking through it, which is an experience in and of itself.

    It can also feel a bit eerie. Being one of the few people downtown in Seattle after a big snow is creepily silent. The random people cross country skiing to get around almost seem to sneak up behind you. When you see people snowmobiling down 1st Ave, you start to wonder if the world has ended.
