Quicksand Fans

Have you gotten to the point where the snow piled high enough that your own boots disappear, it almost feels like you're walking in quicksand instead of snow?

That's the feeling I got just today. Seriously, the snow was that sizeable.

I have a difficult time with any substitutes for the real thing. I always associate hot, wet, thick, messy, muddy, dangerous, with sex. Sex is all of those things, not cold. At least good sex is that way.

I'll take your word for it.

We get deep snow in New England regularly, although none last year. On Friday, we had 12-14 inches of the white stuff. I was thinking of doing a quicksand snow scene, but it then rained on Sunday, washing nearly all of it away. Seven years ago (2015) we had 4 blizzards in a row, dropping over 2 meters (6 feet) of snow - enough to completely sink in. A very cold sink, to be sure, but one could disappear in the snow.

The material that fills the indoor pit here could be interpreted as looking like snow slush. However I do not anticipate doing any scene of that sort. I would consider it as a custom if someone actually wanted it but I am very skeptical that will be the case.

I remember back in college, I was with a group of friends and one of us (a guy) accepted a dare to jump into the snow outside. This was a winter where we'd gotten like 3 feet, so they belly-flopped and disappeared completely. I can confirm what has already been said, it's very very cool my friend was fine, he just wrapped himself up in blankets and sat on the heater the rest of the night.

Wow... That deep, eh?

Glad none were harmed.
