You wouldn't be *envious* if you had to live through winter after winter after winter in a northern climate country. Sure it looks fun, and it is for a few minutes, then you have to shovel your driveway for the 15th time and try to get to work on time. I'm in Canada right now and I'm just counting the weeks until spring...

I'm a snowboarder, I'd kill for that amount of snow.
Driveway be damned

Hah fair enough, if you have a passion that requires snow then I can understand. Unfortunately my passion is much better in the summer. It's do-able in the winter but it's basically not really worth it.

Welcome to my Province!!!
And yup - Snow!
I had to dig a family member's car out of the snow already. We've had a few large snowfalls this year. I grew up in this stuff, so even when I'm in places that don't currently get this snow, I've been there. The volume also depends where you live, as in how high you live. BC is made up of a lot of mountain passes and valleys so one house can get buried, while your friend's place a few Km away may only get three feet of snow.

Yup, and while it snows, you need to be out there shoveling four - five times in a day, cause if you don't keep up with it, it will overwhelm you and win

If you have money then it can snow and snow and snow and your perfectly fine. Basically running warm water under the cement and also keeping an insulation area on your roof around 40 degrees or so... Of course this stuff isn't exactly available to your Average Joe...so...

Also, I don't think the piped water (though there is electric versions as well, but then you have to worry about extreme electric bills too, if I remember right) would work at all when you start to reach a certain sub-zero temperature unless you can REALLY turn the temperature up on them (and then these start to cost money via gas...).

Every so often you run into people that are super rich (or just make good use of their money and resources) and actually have this stuff installed (not just ski resorts or certain areas)... I forget how much it costs, but you can get it if you really, really get a lot every year and you're getting afraid about your house or something else getting ruined...
