You live in Illinois, too?! o____________o

Scary. *dun dun duuuuuun*


It's a big state. White Wolf lives in Illinois as well, as do many other PPTers. I'm in the Southern half. :P

Sorry for that bit of off-topicness. Anyway, I stay home from school for so many days that it adds up to weeks during winter.


I almost live in Illinois, if I walk 2 miles north and cross the Ohio river I'll be in Illinois.
And yes I've seen snow, we get some every winter, though it's usually not much more than a dusting or two.

Yeah, the weather in Saskatchewan sucks. I read something that said the months are almost winter, winter, still winter and scorching hot. :P

Anyway, yes, I've seen snow. :P

We get it maybe once a year in Western Washington. Most recently there was a big snowfall (I'm not going to call it a storm) followed by freezing rain the night after. The next morning everything was covered in ice. Missed two days of school because of that.
Hurrah for most things!

I must've seen snow in England, where I was born. And I must have seen snow in Wuhan, China, where I lived with my grandparents 'til I was three. Only I don't remember >_<

In fact, I only remember seeing snow in Harbin, where I went for Christmas when I was seven XD

I used to live in Illinois. I'm sure all the Illinois-ites-ans-whatevertheyrecalled are familiar with Champaign-Urbana.

Have I seen snow? Ha! :lol: I've lived in the midwest and the northeast (of the United States). In upstate New York, the seasons are like so: winter, almost winter, winter's over, and construction.

Don't be afraid to see the truth, even if no one wants you to. Be yourself and not a fool. Don't ever be afraid to speak your mind and listen to criticism. Dissent is keeps our country progressive and willingness to challenge yourself is what keeps yourself ever evolving.

Never really knew there were others from WA.

For the answer to the question, I have seen snow. It snowed a bit where I live in January, but that was all we got.

I live in Chicago. Which happens to be part of Illinois, so I guess I live there too. :D So of course, I've seen lots and lots of snow.

I live in Renton which is southeast of Seattle, it's the current residence of Jimi Hendrix.

I live in Bremerton, on the other side of Puget Sound. Theoretically, I'm "near" Seattle. It just takes 2 hours to get there. We drove by Renton today. We were shopping in Kent.

I didn't know there were others from WA either. Good to see I'm not the only one. I know two others from upstate New York (where I used to live and currently attend University), Am and Collin.

I used to live in New York and it would snow there every year... I remember one there were a few good feet in one night.
And there was also one snowstorm that made a 40 year old tree crash on our house.... It was completly torn or of the ground it left a huge hole...

Now I live in a desert where it snows once in a decade, so I havn't seen snow for 4 years.

This is an intersting poll. People often forget that the majority of the people they meet in places like this don't come from the same area.

As for me, I've seen snow. I've played in it, shoveled it, and threw it at people in all of the winters I've lived through.
