Platypuses are real, right? This isn't some elaborate hoax that I'm not in on, right?

[Putnam]

yes

[Egan_BW]

Like, are you sure? Have you ever seen one?

how drunk are you

I have And they are cute and poisonous creatures. So nice!
And they're really awesome to learn about! They aren't made-up creatures (or purely mythological creatures for that matter)

how drunk are you

Dude doesn't seem drunk. Just silly.

Query: Can...someone generally explain Snow?
Honest question here. We don't experience snow at all. [and many people in my country love the idea]

I was also being silly.

Have you ever had a desert where ice is crushed into a powder, and a flavored syrup is added? Imagine ice crushed even finer than that, and you're close to snow.
At least, that's how I would describe it from the handful of times I've seen it.

Just sleepy. Which is pretty much the same thing.
Snow is basically frozen rain. Bunch of ice crystals form up in the clouds, then clump up and float to the ground. Makes a nice white layer over the ground.

[Yoink]

It's pretty cold. And kinda wet.

I tend to aim for 16 C if Im on my own. When with my family, we end up at 18-19. When Im with my flatmates, the whole flat is heated from other flats to over 20C, so I just open my window from time to time.

And sparkly. Then slushy. Then brown and dirty. Then gone.

Naah, frozen rain == hail, which is much less nice.

Imagine everything covered by a layer of icing sugar: The roofs, the trees, the sidewalks, the cars... Not the roads though, as long as the local government is doing its job and is keeping the streets clean. And imagine you're wearing lots of clothing: A cap, a scarf, big warm boots, a nice warm coat, etc etc.
And imagine that icing sugar turning into water as soon as it is heated slightly, leading to many a cold wet foot. That's snow, or at least my impression of snow.

Aah, nothing beats the thawing out of weeks-old dogshit after a snowy bit of weather.

[timferius]

Man, snow, snow is so cool. (hur). At first it doesn't seem like water, it can be super light and fluffy or really dense, like wet sand dense, depending on the type of snow. It's obviously cold, not initially wet but your body temperature will generally start to melt it pretty quickly. The sound of it crunchy under your boot is a wholly unique sound, and oddly satisfying. The denser snow can be packed in to even denser balls and shapes, so you can make sculptures. This is the type of snow you use to make snowmen (which never ever look as nice as the media portrays them haha). It mutes sound a bit, and when you're in the middle of a heavy snowfall, it's an amazingly beautiful and peaceful experience.

[Helgoland]

Yeah, the crunching sound is awesome.

One more thing about snow and trees: When there's snow, the trees tend to not have leaves anymore, so the snow settles on the bare branches, making for a beautiful black-and-white pattern against the grey sky.
