It very often does. Snowmobilers are the most maudlin crybabies I've ever known and I've been one for 20+ years. The way they talk it'll never snow another flake again anywhere in the world...

Honestly if you want to meet people join the snowmobile club and volunteer at work days. When there isn't snow there is still stuff to do, trails need to be cleared, machines need to be fixed, stuff needs to be moved around. I met my best friend through my volunteering for the snowmobile club and through him I've made a bunch of other new friends.
