Up here, we finally just got our first dusting today. We broke the record (for NYC at least) from 1866 (or something like that).

I wish it would snow more like it usually does.

And yes El Paso stole all of Canada's and the other northern region's snow.  Give us a break.  It's Global Warming, we have an extremely hot summer ahead of us.

Excuse me while I whine about how it can be cold enough for exposed flesh to freeze in ten minutes outside without having a snow day. I GUESS SASKATCHEWANIANS ARE MADE OF FIRMER STUFF THAN YOU!  :rolleyes
I've never had a snow day. :< The idea of a day off due to snow sounds ludicrous and appealing to me.

I guess we're looking at it from opposite ends of the spectrum, eh? We're polar opposites then, Gabi!

The snow's gone for those of us up in Austin. I was trapped inside for three days because it was too cold to go outside and my jacket is a size too small. Fortunately, I was fine thanks to my net connection.  :)

see, the problem with people who live in the Midwest, is that the people who make decisions like that remember worse storms and/or own 4 wheel drive vehicles so you learn to deal with it. Texans on the other hand would probably see a sander as a dump truck with a funny thing on the back. Kinda like they find this cold white stuff falling out of the sky odd. (teasing.)

Post by: Aridas on January 25, 2007, 08:28:26 PM
see, the problem with all this is that it's snowing where it probably shouldn't, and not snowing where it definitely shouldn't.

Ah, snow...we got our fair share here today...temperature roughly in the 20's Fahrenheit and little scattered squalls of blizzards.

I won't blame the lower states for stealing our snow, in fact, this snow came from the Great Lakes.  I'd give a cookie to them for their generosity.   :mowcookie

Finally it looks like winter... >.>

YOU JERKS STOLE OUR SNOW AND LEFT US ALL THE COLD! :U
I have to drag myself to school at far too early in the morning through freezing cold that I don't even seem to own enough clothes for keeping out effectively with slight little patterns of frost on the pavement, and you get snow. And they don't make you go to school on snow days down in Texas, do they? *snarls*

Hey, we got lots of snow here.  Not enough to cause any problems, although it's probably chaos further up north.  It's still snowing even.
Title: Re: WOOHOO! SNOW-DAY!!!
Post by: Tapewolf on February 09, 2007, 09:39:28 AM
Well, today was definitely snow-day.  I've only been in Wales for 2.5 years but I've never seen anything this bad, not in the southeast anyway.  At about 1:30 PM it became apparent that our firm was the only one crazy enough to not have fled the building, so we belatedly decided to follow suite.  Most people wanted to get home before 1:30 AM, after all.

After a rather surreal scene in the parking lot (culminating in my first snowball fight in about ten years), it took me about an hour to get home on foot (usually about 20 minutes) and I very nearly didn't get in since the snow had drifted against the gate, preventing me from entering.

Anyone else got some good snow stories?
Title: Re: WOOHOO! SNOW-DAY!!!
Post by: xHaZxMaTx on February 09, 2007, 10:18:23 AM
No. :cry  The last time I got more than a few inches of snow was when I lived in Denver, Colorado, but that was like 10 years ago.  And it's only snowed once here since then.
Title: Re: WOOHOO! SNOW-DAY!!!
Post by: llearch n'n'daCorna on February 09, 2007, 10:26:34 AM
It snowed. Then it rained on it. And the snow never really lasts in London, anyway, since there are people walking on it.

On the other hand, there were still drifts of it around this morning, over 24 hours after it fell....

Post by: Damaris on February 14, 2007, 12:02:38 PM
I've had the last two days off work due to the storm (yay!)

We haven't been able to keep up with shoveling it, unfortunately.  We only shoveled about four times in twelve hours yesterday.  I probably should go give it a try again.

I could give you my snowsotrm story it happened in jan or feb in 1975 when I was going to catholic school there was blizzard so bad that it covered all the cars parked in the street completly we had about 14ft of snow that day man that was the good old days in NYC.
Title: Re: WOOHOO! SNOW-DAY!!!
Post by: bill on February 14, 2007, 12:32:35 PM
Fook, it's really coming down hard now. Wind's picked up too, so shoveling the driveway looks to be a tad useless at this point.
Title: Re: WOOHOO! SNOW-DAY!!!
Post by: Aisha deCabre on February 14, 2007, 12:48:17 PM
It's snowing right now, after a warm day where it's been sleeting and raining.  So the roads are all ice, and I missed another exam today because of it.   :rolleyes

Hm, a snow story...well, I used to live in Nevada, and of course it's pretty much a desert.  In the winter it gets only about as low as 40-something degrees F...snow is rare except on the mountains.  But one day while I was in third grade, we had some snow flakes coming down.  So our entire class took a pause to go outside and see it.   x3

It's so funny to look back on now though as precipitation is a semi-regular occurance.  Strange though that it significantly snows the hardest in February.
