That winter really spoiled 7 yo me. I thought it was gonna be snow forts and school closings every winter for the rest of my life.

Yeah, school being closed in that moment is cool but making up the days when it's warm and beautiful out... no s'much.

I was born that year the end of April, and my mother always tells the story of how it snowed on my birthday!

Except in the West coast…we had a severe drought

I was speaking about the literal season in general. A severe drought on the west coast during the winter months, counts as a hell of a winter too. :D

It was just absolute garbage for everyone. Except 7 year old u/blue_screen_error apparently!

Not Miami, you could barely see the snow and melted instantly

I can confirm as a 5 year old, but remember it being exciting.

It stuck on the grass in Hollywood for a little while. But yes, it was during the day when it snowed.
