Snow

[bravest]

It's falling pretty hard right now. Today's my fourth snow day in seven days.

We've had less than a week of snow this winter here in Stockholm, and that's pretty scary concidering that the snowing back when I was a kid would have started several months ago, and lasted *at least* some time into March.

 

[monty001]

Yeah we've been getting a bunch of snow in the Northwest. Not used to this much. Getting into to work was a bitch this morning. It's supposed to start raining today so we'll see how it goes.

We just got our first snow of the winter here in Iowa on Saturday, and that's very odd. We usually see snow in late November, and at that point in time, we were in the 50s. Very odd.

 

[MainMan]

ive never seen snow.

 

[Mamba]

Global Warming is a bitch...

Lucky! We had snow here in Houston like 2 years ago and it was the first snow in Houston after like 15 years, I guess we won't see anymore snow for another decade now. It is suppose to hail/sleet tonight. But when we get the snow here, it was one of the most awesomest (yeah I know thats not a word) moments.

Indeed!

Al Gore is on to something...we got our first real snowstorm of the year this week, too. I can't remember a winter when we didn't have a couple inches after mid-December, but this year it was mid-January

 

[norespect]

Not just the snow....in toronto we had +9 degrees Celcius in early Janurary and usually we can be anywhere from -10 to -20. Its gotta be something bad

A while ago, someone e-mailed me some pictures of Wisconsin during the winter. I'm talking about cars in ice cubes kind of cold. Trees were dripping in icicles and stuff. Is that what really goes down in the streets of Wisconsin?

Man, we honestly have a little bit of everything. In winter, it can be very mild, other times light snow all over but still 30ish, and still other times we've got a blizzard and a foot or two of white crap all over everything...and the wind chill is below zero (windchill is a biotch). And that's the only time that I ever question how great it is to live here. Then again, it's something to go hiking or camping in winter in this state. So you take the good with the bad.

This year's been unseasonably warm up until the past week. We really never got more than a dusting up until now, and I can't tell you guys how crazy that is

We don't usually get blizzard stuff until January of February anyways, but to have no snow by Christmas is just about unheard of.

According to some weathermen around here if rain comes it will actually snow here tonight/tomorrow, which is nuts since I live a few miles south of San Francisco. This morning slipped on ice from the watter in the gutter by my house that had frozen over and when I got home it was still there. My mom says it hasn't snowed here since I was born (1990), hopefully they'll call off school even if its just a bit of snow.

 

[Chutney]

Winnepeg still has the worst winters I've ever seen. I have no idea how they've been this year, though.

It's funny, because it's like we switched weather with the West Coast. Toronto's been pretty warm all winter with a lot of rain, while Vancouver's had random snowstorms that have taken everyone by surprise.

Wait, do you get snow in Cali normally?

 

[Notorious]

Doesnt snow at all here. Though alot of people it told me that it snowed over the weekend, which would be the first time in like 200 years or something, also we just set the record for coldest temperature in San Diego with 32 F. Yet at school people are still wearing shorts and a tshirt.

My friend/relative moved from N.Y, he said when it gets cold in NY it is super cold, when it gets hot, it is hotter than Houston. I was a little shocked, is that true?

 

[Shard]

Yea we're getting pwned in the snow department. It's a bitch to drive in because of all the ice. *Prays for sunny days*

I dunno about Houston weather, but two weeks ago it was like 72 degrees here in January.

 

[umair]

^^Damn. In Houston the weather is pretty gay these days, one day it rains, next day its hot, then the other day its super cold. But when its summer it is usually in the high 80s low 90s.

 

[Mr. J]

In the book of Revelations in the Bible, it says during these times the weather would act funny, among other things.

 

[44Thrilla]

Here in RI it has snowed two times for a grand total of about 2 inches. The usual winter here contains a snow storm once a week, with the usual accumulation of about 2-7 inches. We also usually have 2 or 3 storms that drop 16 or more inches of snow on us during the winter.

This winter has been crazy, but I'm loving it. I was driving 55 miles to work everyday for the past three months, so every time it snowed I was ready to lose a day of pay.

 

[AznxBaller]

Still haven't been able to go snowboarding yet...

Usually by now my area would have had a ton of snow. Global warming's fucking up this weather.

 

[miss3pointer25]

Geez people should actually be coming to Pennsylvania for winter....no snow. Weird weather year.

 

[I-Miss-MJ]

Do you all expect the same exact weather patterns every year?

Weather is highly unpredictable (how often is your local weatherman right?). Unless you're getting summer in winter, there is no need to worry.

 

[AznxBaller]

^I think there's need for worry when the temperatures this year in the winter are significantly higher than those in the past. And yes, I would expect similar weather patterns, because those are the ones that we've been experiencing for quite some time.

When Toronto doesn't get it's first snowstorm of the year until around mid-January, you know there's a problem.

If it is consistent (ie 5 years+) then worry, if it is one year you are worrying for nothing.

 

[Chutney]

I think a year or two ago we had one of our worst winters ever, so I'm not incredibly worried. I am pissed though, because the snow will probably stay during the beginning of spring as well. And I like snow during Christmas break.

 

[I-Miss-MJ]

Global Warming isn't even proven, let alone a 'fact'.

Even if proven, the changes would not be so drastic, so quickly.
