Snow

[Scream]

Here in Ottawa we woke up to 3 or 4 cm of snow on the ground this morning. :) Expecting another 10-15cm over the next 24-48 hours. This is early as last year we didn't have any until after the holidays.

Anyone else got any yet?

[avatar_58]

Snow sucks, get off my internet. (We have rain, no snow yet :woot:)

[ZuljinRaynor]

Damn you Canadians. Give me some snow now.

[TBZ]

We had snow here, it's gone now, but we had some.. I want it back :(

[Mr_Diffrence]

Damn you Canadians. Give me some snow now.

[Joe Siegler]

I love snow. We hardly get any of it in Dallas. When we do though the ENTIRE area freaks out, because they don't know what to do with it.

I grew up in Philadelphia, and there they measured it in FEET. Not inches. :)

[avatar_58]

You people are freaks. When you get snow yearly by the truckload and freeze your nads off it loses it's appeal. Last year we had so much our entire backyard was gone, it was just snow. I thought for sure we'd have a green christmas and then PLOP....it all came in at once. :o

I wouldn't mind it nearly as much if it went away quicker. When you still have snow in March and April it really just grinds your nerves.

[jimbob]

i like snow :D infact i`m going on my first wintersport trip ever february nex year :D \o/

THAT IS EXACTLY THE KIND OF SNOW I LIKE!

BRING IT ON!

[Sang]

Bah, snow is overrated.. It's so .. cold and.. all snowy and stuff.

Used to enjoy snowball fights as a kid but it's lame. Especially now that snowball fights have gotten a lot more "brutal" and "agressive". Instead of just throwing a snowball at you, people are now trying to really shove it in your face or down your spine.. I mean come on, I don't find that enjoyable at all personally.

[ZuljinRaynor]

You people are freaks.

No sir, you are. ;) And Canadian. :D

[KaiserSoze]

4-5 inches supposed to be on the way just in time for Thanksgiving tomorrow here in the Detroit area.

[avatar_58]

You'd run away at the first sight of the stuff. ;) You want snow? YOU want SNOW? YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE SNOW!

[Scream]

I used to think I hated snow, but I actually kind of like it now. I hate it for driving, but other than that it's fine. I even enjoy shovelling it (as long as it's not TOO heavy - beats the heck out of mowing the lawn).

I do agree that Canadian winters are too long though. If we could have them start at the beginning of December and end at the end of January that would be plenty. I would definitely miss winter if I lived somewhere that was warm year round though.

[Rider]

Agreed 100%!!

Bring on the mother lode!

[wayskobfssae]

My Avatar is the Trans-Siberian Orchestra winter wizard. I think that speaks for my opinions on snow. :p

Snow means snowball fights, snow men, sledding, hot chocolate, special days off from work/school, and breathtaking landscapes. If you look at snow and only see the cold, car accidents, and shoveling, then turn back now, because you're on a dead-end road.

[Damien_Azreal]

Well... yesterday temp here was in the high 70s to 80s. Today.... it's winter. Low 40s or 30s.
And according to the weather it's supposed to keep dropping from now on. And if it follows last year we'll have snow, ice, sleet.... ugh.

[ryche]

That's what I used to like about Alaska....the whole area looked like it was made out of snow, no grass in sight.

[thefly]

It is usually ice on the roads/bridges and not snow. When we do get snow, it doesn't usually stick. ;)

[Daedolon]

We used to have some great winters here in Finland with several metres of snow. Nowadays it's all different, I don't remember when we would've had a really white christmas. Goddamn global warming.

I love you.

I understand why people want this foul substance so much. Snow is evil. It is a pain to drive in, annoying to shovel and can also cause damage in heavy snow falls. Snow can burn in the fiery pits of hell... yes, I know what I said :p

[Scream]

Snow ROCKS!!! :woot:

[Mr.Fibbles]

Snow = snow balls
Snow = sledding
Snow = no school/work
Snow balls + sledding + no school/work = great day of free time playing in the snow. . .
If I had a lady friend, I could add some more things on that list, but I don't have a lady friend.

Snow is a curse and you all are suckers for enjoying it.

The hell are you on about, when I was a kid our winters ended in like February. Now they drag on almost right through "Spring". Global Warming my ass.

[Mr.Fibbles]

Global Warming is not that the World is getting warmer (it is but not the way most think) it is that there are some strange things happening in the weather system around the globe.

Snow is still amazing. . .

[Water12356]

Snow is awesome when I dont have to shovel it.

Where in Canada do you live? I've been in Ottawa 38 years and we sure as hell have never seen winter end in February. I wish. :)

[Superczar]

Only people who don't have to drive like snow!

[peoplessi]

That's why you have wintertyres with studs or without them as M+S tyres. We call them "nastarenkaat" studtyres and "kitkarenkaat" M+S. Studded are better if you have varying conditions, ice here alot of snow there, whereas M+S are good on snow and on plain asphalt.

I have M+S, $200 BF Goodrich Mud-Terrains, the best tires in the world still won't help on ice though, or when some other numbnut can't control his vehicle... :o

[Daedolon]

Snow = no school/work

By what guidelines?

[Scream]

By mine. :)

Personally, I worked from home today. Company got more work out of me than if I spent 1.5 hours of my day driving to and from work with the slow traffic snow causes.

[peoplessi]

That's why I have studs, most of people in northernmost countries drive on studs, M+S are more of a minority. Cheap tyres you have there in US :) I'd have to pay 300-400euros(Michelin X-Ice North / BF Goodrich G-Force Stud) for 4tyres in 185/65/15 size :l

[Destroyer]

i wish we had snow, we just get rain and lots and lots of fog. :(

[big fat lazy]

It never snows where I live. Which is fine by me, I wouldn't even go outside if it were cold enough to snow.

[wayskobfssae]

Well if we're enjoying it and you're not, the joke's on you. Even if snow were the end of the world, better to find a way to have fun than cry over it :p

Considering Phait lives in Wisconsin according to his profile, which gets it's fair share of the white stuff AFAIK, I'd have to agree with you that he's the cursed one. :)

[Hudson]

Snow is great until you have to drive in it

[Mr.Fibbles]

But he gets cheese!!!!

When it snows enough to matter, there is no school. When there is no school, some businesses don't open up either. I imagine that if you work with a salary job, you can take the day off. Also, teachers don't have to work on snow days.


EDIT: driving in snow isn't that bad. . . ice isn't even that bad. There are some people who don't know how to handle a vehicle during "bad" weather. Then there are people like me who can drive in most any condition. I also don't have to drive at school because I live on campus.

[Nessus]

I love when it's snowing out, I wish it would snow often and melt in a day. I like to go for a nice walk while snowing or watch it out the window. When I had a rear wheel drive car I used to love to go out and drive around sideways for a little while too. The only thing that stinks is 2 days after it snows it's all black on the streets and just an inconvenient mess.

[Destroyer]

fog is worse. people dont even slow down when its foggy.

[thefly]

Fog is scary. Probably the worst to drive in.

[The Stinger]

Agreed.. ever saw a white car in the fog... I didn't.. :censored:

[Steve]

It's even worse when driving in the fog when morons have their headlights on FULL. Dumb bastards! The light bounces back at you!

As for snow, I love it. When I don't have to go to work that is :)

[Scream]

Agreed. Driving in it sucks. About to go out into it now. Wish me luck...

You'd like it here today. We've got close to a foot on the ground with more expected. Just got in from an hour and fifteen minutes of shovelling. I would have happily cut a half hour off that time, but I have to say that of all the household chores shovelling is the one I mind the least. Great exercise, and I love how quiet the world gets when it's covered in snow. I guess the sound from everything is absorbed by it. It's very peaceful.

Of course, when my back realizes what I just put it through later today I may be singing a different tune. ;)

Edit: Hehe, just saw a lady pulling a sled down the street with her two kids on it. I want to be 4 years old again. :)

[Jeff]

Got some out on my deck. With that, we're having some pretty cold weather. It's -18 C right now, but it feels like -27 C.

[Combat Chuck]

I got snow on Saturday night and loved it. I spent an hour doing donuts in an old Wal-Mart parking lot, it was a blast!

[Phait]

There are 2 benefits to snow:

- insulating, so cold days without it become sometimes several degrees cooler
- night time is brighter than usual if it's not overcast

Otherwise, it sucks. I hate the sound and the feeling when walking on it too.

I love the sound and feeling of walking on compacted snow. If it's slushy and you're slipping back half a step for every step you take, that's annoying.

Just shovelled my driveway for the second time today...

[Kevin Wolff]

It hasn't snowed where I live since 1977.

Whether that's good or bad...that's up to you.

[ZuljinRaynor]

We had snow; it's gone now.

Thank god for 4WD... it was lousy out today... :mryuck:

I like a proper snow were cars get lost.
Sure you got to dig it out,but then you got a valid reason not to go to work for a few days.:p

Ill never buy a 4wd,car doesnt make it of the drive way,i dont go to work. :p
Thats rare though,i always manage to get around with front wheel drive.

[Bludd]

Snow is okay, unless I have to shovel it.

What I really, really hate is when it snows and then it slightly thaws and then freezes again. You get this deadly ice on top of everything. I swear I feel 50 years older when I walk on it.

[bobthefish]

Yeah FWD vehicles aren't as bad, but these guys that have trucks with only RWD in the winter time - they're nuts. You start going up a hill thats slick... no thank you. All I gotta do is turn the knob to 4WDHi and I'm in business... :D

[Mr.Fibbles]

I hate it when it snows and the streets are too warm for it to stick and I have to walk to class in the snow but cross the dangerous (more so with snow) street.
At least the snow is good for snow balls.

[JR Ewing]

I'm in the midwest here and we haven't seen so much as a flake of snow, not even a flurry. For the most part we've been seeing temps in the 40's, sometimes low 50's. Sunday it was almost 70, then by that night it was down to the upper 30's and we've seen temps in the low 40's this past week. This weekend another heatwave is coming thru. Temps will be in the 60's again, then they're supposed to drop again. This phenomenon is what we call "Missouri weather". It can be spring time one day and brutally cold the next. It drives me nuts!!!

Could some of you snow hogs stop being so selfish and learn to share! :p ;)

Woo we've got thawed snow coming from the sky!!

Missouri weather is the rivers running through it. St.Louis gets some strange weather. I remember it snowing one day and then playing in the snow in shorts the next day because it was so warm outside.

Ah, maybe I shouldn't use ~ instead of typing around/close to.
Yeah, it's somewhere between 6-8 ºC here in southern Sweden, sure it may drop before Christmas, but we haven't had a white Christmas Eve in a very long time.
I rather have snow than presents! Snow makes me all giddy and happy like a kid on, well, Christmas :p

I just shoveled our walks and also about 2.5 feet of harder snow at the front walk - which was a lot of work that no one else bothered to try, but I don't halfass things.

We got a couple more CM today. I think we're gonna end up with a ton of the white stuff this year. Ahh well, I do like the way it looks at Christmas. Having it green last year was just wrong...

We are supposed to get dumped on starting tomorrow night - I hope if I have any service calls I can get them done before it starts...

[EDIT]

Heh, a Green Jello song pretty much sums up winter driving:

When clouds of iron gather nigh, blackening the winter sky,
Storms gather fury from the lake, best hurry home and refuge take,
For soon the worst will come to pass, and ice will turn your routes to glass,
While in the north the beast awakens, from his year long slumber taken,
His howl the fury of the gales, with deadly curves that rarely fail,
To send your autos into flight, through blizzard's curtain blinding white,
See driving skills you lack with the, FLIGHT OF THE SKAJAQUADA

[Scream]

They are predicting 25-35cm more here by the end of Sunday. This is the most snow we've seen in December in many years. Last year we had a green Christmas (first time I remember in 38 years here). No green Christmas this year, that's for sure. Here's the short version of the Weather Network forecast for our area :):

Winter storm warning for: City of Ottawa
Issued at 3:44 PM EST SATURDAY 15 DECEMBER 2007
A NEAR-CRIPPLING SNOW STORM WITH HEAVY SNOW AND BLOWING SNOW AS WELL AS SOME ICE PELLETS TONIGHT AND SUNDAY. THIS IS A WARNING THAT DANGEROUS WINTER WEATHER CONDITIONS ARE IMMINENT OR OCCURRING IN THESE REGIONS. MONITOR WEATHER CONDITIONS..LISTEN FOR UPDATED STATEMENTS.

[8IronBob]

Same's true here in Cleveland, OH. We're expecting a blizzard warning tomorrow, and tonight, it's going to be 3 - 5" with a sleet/ice storm overnight, then back to snow, and then a blizzard, and expecting up to a foot of snow. Here's the local report:

http://www.myfoxcleveland.com/myfox/pages/Home/Detail?contentId=4307142&version=439&locale=EN-US&layoutCode=VSTY&pageId=1.1.1

Up to a foot or more of snow is expected in some areas. Get the latest update from Fox 8 Meteorologist Brad Sussman in Clickable Weather

It's a Flash video from the local meteorologists in the area, and telling you about what it's gonna do. Man, I'm most certainly hoping it won't knock the power out, since I'm planning on setting up my rig and installing Windows, etc...

[NutWrench]

We're supposed to get up to 20" (50cm) of snow tonight and tommorrow.
I'll take pictures. :)

[Damien_Azreal]

We got snow this week.

Six inches in Wichita, were I was all week, and Bon and me drove home in it today. By the time we got home the snow here was about two to three inches, but it started snowing later than in Wichita.

[Superczar]

I might be taking the day off - simply cause my wipers (on my work car, I brought it home for the weekend b/c I was on call) went up and never went back to home position, checked the fuse and the fuse is fine, I hope something else didn't happen, got the car in the garage after my mom left to thaw out some more, my front door wouldn't close either...

We just have the perfect winters here (North east coast of Sweden). Always plenty of snow but never enough to be annoying. November is the only bad winter month some years (mostly the last 5-7 years) when it's just a tad warmer then 0C with rain, ice, wind and all that crap. This year has been great so far with only one week like that. Snow came early (end of October I think) and it's mostly been below 0C since then. More like the normal winters when I was a kid but with a bit less snow.

Seems like every time it snows in south of Sweden it's a snow blizzard with heavy wet snow. Can't say I have ever experienced any extreme weather other then one real storm and a few days here and there below -40C.

[Superczar]

Left the car in the garage and the wipers still won't go back down, looks like I might be taking it to the garage tomorrow... oh well spent the morning playing TF2... :D

Big melt here today. It's +4 and we're supposed to maintain above zero temps for most of the week. This friggin' boat load of snow we've gotten up to this point is going to turn into swimming pools in the streets.

[Superczar]

I have 50F right now at the house, supposed to be in the 60's the next 2 days, very unusual for winter here in central PA, hope this is a good sign for a mild winter, unlike last winter where we had walls of snow 15 feet high along the road :o

[gamejunkie]

I used to like snow, but when I got my motorcycle that all changed really quick. When it starts snowing, I start swearing!

So far, where I live we haven't gotten any more snow. Even though it's in the forecast for this week, the roads are almost looking good. I can handle riding in the cold, but not when the roads are covered with snow, ice, and paint-eating salt. :tinyted:

friday we might get some snow. I hope it as it's 9 C today.

[peoplessi]

Very, very low amounts of snow here in southern Finland.

[Yenji]

You're all cracked for wanting snow. Thankfully we had a bunch of rain and fog here today which beat it down a bit. I just moved back to Newfoundland and I already want to move back to Nova Scotia again where they have like none ;) Oh well, we'll see how the job hunting goes :p

We had about 30mins of light snow in Kobe last week. I need to move a little further north so my infant son might get a chance to experience snow before global warming makes it a thing of the past.

[Damien_Azreal]

We just got 16 inches of snow today. Sucked.

Was snowing this morning at 5 when I went to work and was still going a few hours ago.

[Dopefish7590]

NOW we get a fair amount of snow... not alot compared to you guys (which is odd because you would normally think that the north would get more snow) we got 9 inches

[Wamplet]

No snow yet, but the ground was frosted once so far.

[Waiter]

I wish we would actually get some winter before the spring. It's January and I'm almost considering putting the herbs out on the balcony.

[Parkar]

i actually havent had a whole lot of snow here, ironically enough im farther north then most of you

How far north? As far as the polar circle? I am at Skellefteå, Sweden (about 200km south of the polar circle).

We finally have some real winter again. About 2 feet of snow I think. Just been a day here and there since November but other then that it's been around 0C with just slush. It looked so good early Novemeber with a few degrees below 0 and snow for several weeks if I recall correctly.

Edit: me and estimating distances :doh:

[Scream]

Just spent two hours shovelling my driveway after we received about 35cm of snow yesterday and overnight. The stuff the plough pushed up at the end of the driveway was about two feet high and at least two feet deep at the bottom. My back is very sore...

[Waiter]

It just decided to snow here right now! :eek:

Just false promises, though. It's over 5 degrees Celsius here. :(

(Where is that darn degree-sign?? :o)

[Nessus]

I'm dying for some snow, even an inch will be good. I want to take some snow pictures but every time a storm comes it's too warm and melts instantly.

[Phait]

(Where is that darn degree-sign?? :o)

I shouldn't have said anything about a real winter, been raining today :(.

Ah! Thanks, Phait! o/

[evanazzo]

we haven't had alot of snow this year. in fact it hasn't even been cold enough to play any hockey on the creek :( it was for like 3 days then it turned to a slushy mess and we couldn't play. Southern Ontario sucks for snow this year. i blame global warming.

[8IronBob]

I dunno, we had another panhandle hook come through yesterday, thought it was gonna do more than it did, but it was nothing as opposed to the pandhandler we had a year ago around this time.

[Waiter]

Spring weather here now. I get the feeling we skipped winger this year.

[Superczar]

6+ inches of snow yesterday - I have a sore back and stiff shoulders from shoveling it, then last night freezing rain on top. I didn't bother even thinking about going to work today...

I had a delayed opening today in school.

I had a delayed opening today in school.

Now there is an anal joke waiting there... :p

[evanazzo]

i barely had school at all this week because some snow got in a hole in our roof and shorted out some wires or something.
they made us come on Monday half the schools lights were off and we had no heat and it was like -7°c� me and a few guys bitched about unsafe working conditions. they pulled all our classes into the cafatorium said there sending the buses back after they drop off the grade school kids and everyones going home. they said watch the schools site for when we go back. we had to go back today. thats the dangers of snow it gets into a welfared schools roof hole and screws up our electricity

[ZuljinRaynor]

I hate you Super. :p :love:

SIU closed for a day and a half. I didn't go to my night class when it reopened today. I'm not going to slip and fall on the uncleared sidewalks just to hear a lecture about medieval allegory and dream vision poetry.

[Dopefish7590]

2 feet of snow in 72 hours, now thats bad considering it wasnt snowing most that time.

[Samji]

Reminds me its Ice Road Truckers (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_Road_Truckers) on TV here tonight.

[Nessus]

This is the only snow I got all year and it didn't even last a day. It was bad driving though because mostly it was fine except in some blocks where it was a thin sheet of ice underneath.

Its coming. . .
I heard a thunder clap and suddenly I see this.
As I type it seems to be slowing down though, and it hasn't been cold enough. . . I am disappointed in this one.

[Phait]

We've got a metric buttload now, it's past my knees. Much of the snow on grass tapers up above my waist.

[Waiter]

So ... I think I've finally given up on winter this year. We're approaching the end of febuary and we still haven't had any snow apart from the odd mornings of powdered rooftops. It's been cold the past few days, but still above zero.

Hence, let spring begin and begone gray skies of cold mist!

[evanazzo]

i agree. there has been barley any snow at all this winter. we only got to play pond hockey 3 times this winter when we usually get to play a lot more. thank you winter for being so crappy this year. now its time for spring the season where i get to work. yay not

[Scream]

Ok, I give. I've had enough. We had close to 20cm of snow mixed with freezing rain and snow pellets overnight, with up to another 15cm coming throughout the day today. After this snowfall, this winter will fall into second place in recorded history for most snowfall in this area. The forecast calls for more snow all friggin' week.

Some snow is great, but I have to admit I've had enough for the winter of 2007-2008. Anyway, a work from home day for me today. Driving just sucks out there.

[superevilcube]

Yeah... I've never gotten snow where I live, not even once :(

[Scream]

Have you ever even seen it? I always hear about people seeing snow for the first time as an adult, and it always blows me away as it's something that's just always been there for me.

Anyway, if I could send some of ours your way I would. WAY too much this year.

[jimbob]

we had some snow the other day. dutch snow sucks. it melts quickly leaving a grey mudlike substance and it freezes up the car windows.

i just want to make a damn snowman!

I've never seen snow. Every now and then we get an ice storm where the roads ice over, or we get a little bit of sleet, but never any snow.

This winter's actually been pretty dang hot. I live in Texas, but this winter was hotter than usual. I can comfortably wear shorts and a t-shirt outside most of the week. I wear a little jacket maybe once or twice a week. It kind of sucks because I like the cold.

[evanazzo]

We got hit over night. about 15 cm. no school \o/

[Scream]

Ya, school buses were cancelled here for the second time this week. I've seen several people trying to get up our street with varying success as the ploughs are concentrating on the main roads and haven't hit the side streets yet. The big problem is that we got snow, and then freezing rain on top of it, and then more snow on top of that. There are big patches of ice everywhere hidden under snow. Lotsa people in the ditch today. There's nothing that makes you feel more helpless than when you car starts going in a direction away from where you're trying to turn. Glad I stayed home.

I heard this morning that there are over 600 ploughs working our streets today. Quite a fleet of vehicles for a city of about 800,000 people.

I heard they got 11in at Little Rock Arkansas. You must live in southern Texas to have never seen snow.
My cousins moved from OK to San Antonio so they have seen snow (aside from visiting the family in MO and the east coast)

[evanazzo]

8-10 inches in some places her says the news. its good packing snow. good for throwing snowballs. and theres more to come apparently. if i get a snow day again tomorrow then I'll have a 12 day weekend. since Fridays national skip day and March break is next week. this could be awsome

[Ramen4ever]

I like Snow it's great for snowboarding, I hate Ice it's bad for snowboarding and even worse for driving. How many people here have been in a genuine snow blizzard? Quite a few weeks back I was on Castle Mountain (south Alberta, Canada) in the middle of a HUGE snow blizzard, somewhere in the -40 range and since we were on the TOP of a damn mountain the Wind chill made it feel like -60. My goggles fogged up instantly, and without em my eyes were freezing. Anyway we almost got frostbite and we were in 4 layers, water proof gear, I hat 3 hats on and the BIGGEST nerd mitts you could imagine. ^_^
The best part was that I couldn't see the front of my board, trees were just darker shades. That was the first time I was ever literally in a cloud without being in an airplane seat.

[thefly]

It is supposed to snow here in Dallas tonight.

[Superczar]

It is supposed to snow here in Dallas tonight.

Oh my god what ever will you do?! People will be stranded! /sarcasm

:D:p

[Scream]

We've got another 30-40cm coming today and tomorrow. :doh:

[Mr.Fibbles]

I heard we are going to get up to 2 feet (60cm) but more than likely it will be a foot. That is a lot of snow for me. I have never seen more than a foot of snow in my life (that is naturally). Exciting.

[evanazzo]

We got an additional 5'' to the 8'' a few days ago that never melted. Damn snow is a bitch to shovel. Hurts my damn back too.

[TBZ]

I was down in Murnau, Germany, yesterday and there was snow everywhere!
It made me wish that we'd have some snow here even more! :(

[Nihilanth]

Bah, we didn't have a proper winter this year. Such a snow shortage... me sad.

[evanazzo]

Bah, we didn't have a proper winter this year. Such a snow shortage... me sad.

I'll send you some of mine I'm tired of it lol

[8IronBob]

Heh... Nothing like a "Panhandle Hook Nor'Easter" to ruin what would've been a "fine weekend." Here in Cleveland, 10" already fell at Hopkins Airport, and we could have another 3 - 5" tonight before the system finally goes off to the north and east. Thanks to Joe and George for sending that storm this way. Guess they're telling me a message... :D

[Scream]

51cm we got between Friday night and this morning. The drift at the front of my driveway is over 2 feet high, and that's BEFORE the plough goes by. So far this winter we've had 407cm. That's over 13 feet for the non-metrically inclined.

I am sick of snow. Gotta go out and shovel this shit...

[Kien]

We didn't get much snow around christmas this year either. :< Global warming is really starting to show effect. We used to have so much nice snow back in the old days, now we are happy if we get any at all. It really grind my gears.

[sergeru]

IN toronto theres enough snow! Torono didn ahve as much snow as this winter since 1930's. We had 30 hour non stop snowing, imagine that.

[Yenji]

We're suppose to get hammered here in Newfoundland tomorrow with 20-30 CM of snow and then freezing rain.

I *was* going to take another picture of me in the same spot as my previous picture when all the snow melted... but
1) We're getting more snow. Damn you old man winter
2) It looks like I may be moving to Ottawa before the snow melts anyways. And right now I hear they have a ton of snow thanks to the major storm that passed by recently

So yeah. Stupid snow

[Scream]

Ya, you're not gonna get much relief coming here (although most years we get significantly less than Nfld). A lot of the snowbanks around here are 10"+ right now. Worst winter I remember in almost 40 years living here.

[Nessus]

I read that there is more snow coverage in North America right now for this time of year than at any time since 1910. You guys are sure getting hammered. ( Don't tell Al Gore)

[wayskobfssae]

Heh, maybe a new glacier will start forming. :p

Newfoundland is getting slaughtered right now..

Not much to post a pic of really. If you want to know what I see out the window, just open MS paint, and don't draw anything.

[Scream]

They did snow removal on my street today. Scraped back the snowbanks from the road about 3-4 feet on each side. We have two lanes to drive in again! :woot:

[Yenji]

Newfoundland is getting slaughtered right now..

Yeah we did get creamed and now we are getting freezing rain. I've been stuck inside the house now for like four days... I need to go to the gym so badly.

Anyways I took a picture yesterday with my BlackBerry 8130. The snow mounds are not huge, but last week I'd say 75% of that snow was gone. But noooooooooo... old man winter had to come bend us over before "spring" hits (though there is no such thing as spring in Newfoundland). *sigh* why wasn't I born in Jamaica or something?

[jimbob]

aparently were getting snow this easter.

sucks!

[dlink]

It's supposed to snow the upcoming days here in Easter in Denmark. Looking forward to it although i don't htink it'll be anything special since we're in mid march

[evanazzo]

More bloody snow. Up to 8 inches in some places. Jesus its spring time for the snow to go away

Newfoundland had some flurries today... but that is none of my concern because I am in Ottawa now. And with the weather we have been getting only a few stubborn piles are left. Yay for no snow!!

I kind of do want some snow, I could use a snow day break.

La la la la. I'm going to pretend I didn't wake up from a nap and see snow on the ground. Nope... no siree... It snowed back in Newfoundland before today but it didn't stay. I'm hoping this doesn't stay.

[Superczar]

Yeah, snowing here right now, first real snow of the fall. Usually get one in October anyway...

Here the weather is just exploring all the tifferent shades of gray. Snow would have been better.

Supposed to be 10 degrees here Friday, so that should melt this snow. Fairly thick on my driveway (and the plough just went by), but I'm not shovelling. Gonna just drive overtop of it...

[LarsBM]

Snow pwns! Not much here yet though, it will be soon I hope!

[Superczar]

Well, 3 inches we got overnight. On the way to work I fishtailed in my truck (first time in 3 years thats happened to me), came across 3 accidents, one of which forced me to sit for almost half an hour before being directed to turn around and take a detour on another road that hadn't been plowed all day it looked. Yeah fun. :mad:

What should have been a half hour or so drive to work (18 miles) took an hour and a half...

[The Baskinator]

Snow! Snow! Beautiful snow! Come, snow! Snow all around! Snow, snow, snow!

*makes a little snow idol to appease the snow gods*

[Syph]

Just got our first snow here today, only flurries really but still...

[Zztx]

October in Maryland kind of sucks in a way. It's cold enough to make you hate getting up in the morning for work, but not quite cold enough to snow and keep you at home.

Then again, I was a passenger in a 21 car pile-up that involved freezing rain early this year. Came out okay, but it could have been much, much worse.

I kinda like the tag team of spring & summer better.

[Waiter]

Snowing here now. :) And my poor neighbours are out repairing the balcony.

If we would only have a proper winter here where the snow stays I would love winter just as much as summer.

Snow blows. I never look forward to winter and this year is no exception. So I'm really glad it's 62 F today.

[hiob]

Last year there was almost no snow around here, I hope we'll get some this year. The only thing I hate about winter is shoveling out the car in the morning, but the climate change made things like that very rare.

At least on the western end of Cleveland, and especially closer to Cleveland itself, we are actually lucky as opposed to places on the outskirts with the southern and eastern ends of town, we don't necessarily get the bulk of the lake effect here, and I don't even think I'd even want to live in a primary lake effect affected area, either. I mean, yeah, I do think we have some lake effect here, but we aren't exactly affected that significantly.

[sherrybaby]

I am actually looking forward to cross country skiing and tubing...

Still none here I'm happy to report. Mighty frosty out this morning though, and -11. We could get it anytime...

[8IronBob]

Looks like the lake effect lifted here, and is moving eastward into PA, where the warning has been extended until afternoon. At least we're safe here in Cleveland for now... We'll need to see how long that one will last. We expected our 5 - 10" here, while on the eastern end, they got almost 2 feet from this event. Yeah, good reminder that we're in the second half of fall, and winter is probably not necessarily going to be a picnic.

We had some snow here in eastern PA on Friday morning, none of it stuck. We had another snow not too long before Halloween, first time in my life that it has snowed in October. I dont watch the weather or anything but my dad tells me its supposed to snow Wednesday night here.

Havent had real good snow since we bought a snowblower :( For 4 (I think) years Ive wanted to use it now, still nothing good.
