Unstream Posted July 28, 2010 Posted July 28, 2010 Haha yeah they definitely work, assuming you're not ridiculously overweight :P The physics behind it definitely makes sense. We tried it once in school for science class. They don't let you sink into the snow (and we had like a foot), which made it easier, but people kept tripping over their own shoes xD Once you get used to it though, it should be pretty easy. I wonder if it's rained where I live. It hadn't rained for over a month before I left, and all the grass was dying. Quote
Theresa2 Posted July 28, 2010 Posted July 28, 2010 livvy Ive seen snow shoes on tv but never in person it looks uncoftable to walk it they also look like a tennies rackekt on your feet I hope that what you meant about snow shoes lolz Quote
IrishLiz Posted July 28, 2010 Posted July 28, 2010 I went up to Flagstaff to see snow last winter and our car got stuck. o_O Quote
-Ryan Posted July 28, 2010 Posted July 28, 2010 Every year my parents are like "Lets go to flagstaff to go see the snow!" but we never get around to it, and it melts so fast! Dx Quote
livvy Posted July 28, 2010 Posted July 28, 2010 The physics behind it definitely does make sense. Like how camels' feet spread out to distribute their weight over the sand so they don't sink in. :graduated: The first time I ever saw snow was when I was little and we went to a funeral in Ohio. I made mum stop the car at some point so I could get out and make a little-Livvy-sized snow angel. ^_^ Quote
IrishLiz Posted July 28, 2010 Posted July 28, 2010 I wish the storm would move over here so it rains... I want it to rain! Quote
-Ryan Posted July 28, 2010 Posted July 28, 2010 You smart, smart kids and your physics talk is confuzzling me. A snow-Livvy? :P Quote
Unstream Posted July 28, 2010 Posted July 28, 2010 Haha that's cool, Livvy. I've had snow ever since I could remember it. My brother and I would have snowball fights in our yard almost every year. If we were lucky, the snow would be deep enough that we could tunnel under it and have snow forts :D Edit: There wasn't much physics talk. Just that snowshoes distribute your weight so you don't sink into the snow. Quote
livvy Posted July 28, 2010 Posted July 28, 2010 Yup, a snow-Livvy. Almost as adorable as the person who made it. :rolleyes_anim: Haha. Woah, snow tunnels? That's so cool! :O Will, I'm coming over this winter and you're gonna show me how to make a snow tunnel, 'kay? 'kay. Quote
Unstream Posted July 28, 2010 Posted July 28, 2010 Haha okay. Just pray that it snows a lot. Or that the giant street-snowplowers do it right :P Quote
livvy Posted July 28, 2010 Posted July 28, 2010 Okay! How much snow does one need for snow tunnels? Quote
Unstream Posted July 28, 2010 Posted July 28, 2010 Well it was definitely easier as a little kid, but with a foot or so it should work, but the space will be a bit more limited. I live on a cul-de-sac, so when the snow plowers come by, they push all the snow in front of people's lawns. A foot should be enough to create a sizable mountain of snow :D Quote
livvy Posted July 28, 2010 Posted July 28, 2010 (edited) Grr, stupid computer, double-posting. <_< That sounds fun! I can't wait :D Edited July 28, 2010 by Viridian Double post removed ;) Lag is MEAAN :D Quote
:)Doc Posted July 28, 2010 Posted July 28, 2010 Heh it has snowed two years in a row out here in my state! :woot: Quote
Unstream Posted July 28, 2010 Posted July 28, 2010 May I inquire the state in which you reside? :P Quote
:)Doc Posted July 28, 2010 Posted July 28, 2010 The one. With the name. And the towns. And cities. And those trees! Plus, a state capital! Sorry, I don't feel comfortable giving out where I reside on the internet! :* Quote
livvy Posted July 28, 2010 Posted July 28, 2010 Way to avoid the three-word-too-short "Where do you live?" :P *applauds* We never get snow, and if we do it's like an inch. That 8 inches was incredible this winter. EDIT: Oh yeah, the one with the trees! I totally know what you're talking about. b) Quote
:)Doc Posted July 28, 2010 Posted July 28, 2010 I'm just glad someone understands what I'm saying! :P jkjk Quote
Unstream Posted July 28, 2010 Posted July 28, 2010 Haha it's cool that you don't want to tell us. I was just wondering if the snowing two years in a row thing was significant or not. Or maybe I was trying to move onto Part VI of Plan J :shiftyeyes_anim: Way to avoid the three-word-too-short "Where do you live?" :P *applauds* Why thank you *bows* Quote
livvy Posted July 28, 2010 Posted July 28, 2010 It's perfectly understandable to not want to give out your locality. ;) In fact, it's a good idea not to. I'm usually pretty careful about the information I give out on the internet. But I mean, I've already given you guys my real name, and it's an odd one, so if you really really wanted to find me, you probably could. EDIT: No, don't reveal Plan J! :O Besides, I'm not done cleaning up after part V yet. :shiftyeyes_anim: Quote
Unstream Posted July 28, 2010 Posted July 28, 2010 I'm not sure. I don't think that giving out your state and your first name helps with people finding your address. States are very big :yes: :P Quote
livvy Posted July 28, 2010 Posted July 28, 2010 Not necessarily. Maybe he lives in Rhode Island or something. Then we could just take a day and walk around to every house and ask if it belongs to a guy who likes weasels and wants to be a doctor. :P Quote
Unstream Posted July 28, 2010 Posted July 28, 2010 That might be a bit strange. "Hello. Does your son happen to be partial to weasels?" :P Quote
livvy Posted July 28, 2010 Posted July 28, 2010 "And doctors, maybe? ...Ma'am? Ma'am?... Hm. Next house, I guess." Haha, I don't see what could possibly go wrong. :P Quote
Unstream Posted July 28, 2010 Posted July 28, 2010 Haha that actually sounds pretty good to me. So, which side of the Rhode should we start on? :P Quote
