Snow. It used to last the whole winter and not just 2 days here and there.

    I keep being told that the canals used to freeze over and people would skate on them.

    God damn our local lake used to freeze over and people would drive cars on it.

    Yuuup good times. Going places you could only access by car if you crossed a frozen lake or river. Some of my fondest memories as a child. I would never in a million years attempt this today.

    Yes! That just made me remember a time in highschool over 20 years ago now... We got off the bus and looked over at the bay that was completely frozen and decided to walk over to an island we would always see but never knew what was there. I took a big rock and kept throwing it in front of us to see if the ice cracked

    Tons of bird bones. So many bones.... Lol

    Not all that long ago, either ….. early in my career I worked in downtown Boston, and one of the guys claimed to commute by ice skating down the Charles River. Ok, I’m old for online but not that old
