It's strange living on the coast where it doesn't snow. I guess growing up in northern Idaho, and then spending a year in Utah creates certain expectations for winter that simply are not met here

Yeah, it would be awesome if it snowed more here but all we get is pretty much rain, hail, and really, really cold temps.

There's a house on fire about a block from me.
Talked to a fireman, apparently the people inside decided to start a fire in their fireplace because of the cold. It got out of hand. Everybody's fine, but... not cool.

Still, it's gorgeous outside! The perfect hot chocolate day.

Yeah, nobody has snow tires but it was really pretty out this morning and rare to see as it rarely snows here. One good thing though, it's usually always good for making snowballs.

We had two bouts of snow a couple weeks ago.

It snowed on Tuesday and was fine.
By Wednesday the snow had compacted and was like ice, but most had melted by the time that was an issue for me.

On Thursday we had a total freaking blizzard, shut down most of the city and trapped me in college superfluously for an hour and a half.
On Friday, think Wednesday but actually a BIG issue for me since it meant my 15 minute walk route from home to college and back was completely covered in ice.

After that it's melted and we've mostly just had cold winds and rain. Some patches of ice are still hanging around, but nothing to really inconvenience you.

Here in St. John's it was 18 Celcius (65 Fahrenhiet) yesterday. So far this winter we have had about a total of 2 inches of snow. We did get 4 inches of rain one day though. We are slowly stealing the west coasts winter! A few years ago We had 0 snow in December and in January the temperature went up to 24. My winter jacket from last year has no zipper anymore, and I have not had a reason to buy a new one yet.

Well, somebody in the Netherlands predicted that we'll have one of the coldest winters in a long time this year. Something to do with sunspots and solar activity or something. There was even talk of a 11 city skating tour again. (The world famous Elfstedentocht, in Fryslân)

You know I've come to the determination that I am depressed at this time of the year due to the lack of Snow no other reason. Just the lack of snow, it sucks balls.

Wow, what the heck kind of snow do you get? :shock:

A light layer of frosting before the clouds cleared here. Not quite a white Xmas, but good enough to get some people killed.

Shandi · Postby **Shandi** » 14 Dec 2008, 16:55

Yeah, it almost looks like home outside. Except that back home nothing slows down in this weather, this is a good day.
Beautiful, isn't it?

Thank you sky for the white giftses!

The invisible type that never appears. Hence my depression over the lack of snow in our part of the world.

At any rate, snow's gone now.

How has it snowed in Louisiana, but not in Massachusetts. Grrr. All we've had is a terrible freezing rain that felled trees right behind my house, left many of my friends without power, but still it has not snowed yet. Grr.

Once the plows came by I still had to go to work.

Pansies.

!!!!

I went to brush snow off my beep beep, and I looked down and the snow was up to my knees! It got fucking COLD here this weekend. Driving home it was - 27C last night. Or - 17 F i believe. About same temp today.. though they say - 40 with the windchill. Oh, and my tire went KABLOO-Y again. You drive with 3 tires in - 40, Sable!!! Pansie! :wink:

<3

I 4X4'd the shit out of the road today. Oh yes. THE SHIT.

Yipes! I hope that's Fahrenheit.

I hate Florida. It doesn't feel like Christmas. It's like... light jacket weather.

I want to buy a snow cone machine and stick my head inside it.

Ohhh yay I love using my desktop weather watch! I have mine in C and F.

Snow is a myth.

In thousands of years, when we all live in domes on the moons of Jupiter, people will talk of weather storms as ancient, angry gods, a mythos filled with strange instruments like barometers and thermometers and gods with names like Hurricane and Nor'easter and Twister and Snowflake.

And people will laugh and eat their Dippin' Dots and sit on their Ikea furniture and say how silly that must have been, and how we all must have been crazy weather-worshiping heathens.

And meteorologists will be responsible for watching reruns of The Weather Channel, studying the grainy VHS tapes unearthed long ago for clues about the past. And Al Roker will be some ancient historical figure, and dramatic action films will be made about him.

I live in Phoenix. It's been light jacket weather here some evenings.

Ahahaha... Win. Also, I've never had dippin dots. I always thought they were kinda jincy. More space between ice creamy goodness = less. I never liked the idea of paying more money for less ice cream!!!
