I was more surprised to hear about a snow storm in southern California......

Another Poster questioned Chalupas claim of a storm that day when the weather had actually been light all day, no storm that day. 💡🤭🤣😏😜

Now, Axl had a dear friend named Thomas W., a spirited soul with a heart as warm as a sunny day. Thomas, a passionate advocate for the LGBTQ+ community, had a bright personality that could light up even the dreariest of winter days. He was known for his colorful fashion sense and quick wit, and though he loved winter sports like no other, he also had a gentle knack for pulling Axl out of his grumpy moods.

One brisk December evening, as snowflakes began to dance their way to the ground, Axl was holed up in his sprawling apartment, sulking on his plush, leather couch. The snow outside formed a thick blanket across the city, transforming it into a wintry wonderland. He scowled at the view from his window, wishing for summer's return.

Just then, Thomas burst through the door, exuberant and dressed in a vibrant, sequined parka that shimmered like a disco ball. "Axl! You won’t believe it! It’s a winter wonderland out there!" he exclaimed, his eyes sparkling with excitement. He had just come from a pop-up ice skating event, where he had dazzled everyone with his moves.

Axl groaned. "Yeah, and all I see is cold and wet. You can have your snow, Tom!" He crossed his arms defiantly.

"But wait! You haven’t even given it a chance!" Thomas said, his voice laced with enthusiasm. "You need to experience the magic of the winter! Let’s make a night of it! I promise it’ll be fun!"

With a sigh, Axl finally relented. “Alright, fine. But only because you’re my best friend.”

So off they went, bundled in layers of clothes, with Axl grumbling under his breath about the crisp chill in the air. As they walked through the snowy streets, Thomas pointed out the charming sights: children building snowmen, couples cuddling under twinkling lights, and friends laughing over cups of hot cocoa.

When they reached the city’s outdoor ice rink, Axl's spirits began to lift. Thomas donned his skates with the grace of a ballet dancer, twirling around as he encouraged Axl to join him on the ice. "C'mon, it’s just like rock and roll—just let go and enjoy the rhythm!"

With a mixture of hesitation and amusement, Axl finally agreed to try it. He laced up his skates, and when he stepped onto the ice, he found a rhythm he hadn’t expected. With Thomas by his side, they skated together, laughter echoing around them. The music blared, and Axl began to feel the enchantment of the snow: the way it sparkled under the city lights and how it wrapped everything in a cozy embrace.

As the night wore on, they built snowmen, had snowball fights, and even partook in an impromptu dance-off on the ice, much to the delight of onlookers. For the first time, Axl realized that perhaps he could find joy even in the snowy season, as long as he had his friend by his side.

That night, as they settled on a bench with steaming mugs of hot chocolate, Axl looked at Thomas. “You know, I hate snow less when I’m with you,” he admitted with a grin.

Thomas chuckled, his eyes shimmering with mischief. “Maybe I should take you out in summer next time just to remind you that you love the snow!”

From that day forward, Axl Rose learned to embrace winter's charms, all thanks to his friend, Thomas W. They became legends not just in the rock scene but also as the quintessential winter duo, who turned even the iciest days into memories filled with laughter, warmth, and an unbreakable bond of friendship. And who knew? Maybe he’d start writing a winter-themed ballad or two—if only to make Thomas laugh.
