Aah, first snow here in Sweden today, feeling christmassy, life is good...

Anyone else got snow yet? Maybe you Kayaker? Or maybe JMI?

Anyone?

It has been warm here in Antartica, What can I tell you. . .

Are you in Antartica, really?

Ahh, you speak as snow was in everywere in the world. Here in north of Brazil, I just can see it trough the tv. You are very fortunate indeed
Maybe someday we can reverse the nature so we can make snow fall when and where we want.

I hope it doesn't snow here. It snowed about this time last year and brought the entire country to a standstill. Only about 6 inches of snow, too. Makes you laugh when Canada etc get 6 FEET of snow and still manage just fine...

in the beginning, but when you wake up in the morning, put on all the clothes you have, get out on the -20 deg. celsius weather, dig your car out of the pile of snow and start scraping ice off the windshield, the niceness starts to wear off.
Especially, when you have to repeat this procedure every morning for few months.

Luckily global warming is gradually turning our climate into more mediterranean type, soon I can plant palmtrees on my backyard.

No snow here in Texas, but what's new?

The last time we got significant snow fall in the Dallas area was over 20 years ago. February of 1978 had 10 inches (~25.4 cm) in matter of a couple days. I think the most I've ever seen in my lifetime was maybe 2 inches of snow on the ground. Most years we don't get enough to even stick to the ground, but there's usually at least one day with snow. Since we're on the topic, here's a kind of geeky fun site with snow data for the U.S.:

Edit: Whoops, left out a decimal place. 200+ cm of snow would be insane

here in the netherlands was some crystallized water, about 15 centimeters high, some days ago. only not in my area, i could only dream of it

but personally I like the form of very strong crystallized water you can stand and ice skate on

Doesn't snow much in the San Francisco Bay Area, although it is not unheard of out past the foothills and there has been light snow on some of the higher foothills many times in the past, but we generally go the Lake Tahoe Area for real snow and skiing.

In CT last year snow wasn't all that bad - in 2002 however I think we received something along of 3-4 feet inwithin a couple days or so..

Slord, if you think we're fortunate then you don't know the joy of shoveling

Rennie: I usually grab a gallon of hot water and melt a medium seethrough hole through the ice in the windshield and start driving... no scraping for me.

Just getting into summer here. No more of the endless weeks of rain (hooray!) Hoping to have a barbecue later this month.

Careful with that, hot water on frozen glass will make it shatter... You weren't paying attention in science class, were you

Howdy,

It snowed here last Friday. The ski areas are starting to open.
I buy a can of hairspray everytime I go shopping. I dont have any hair,
I just spray it out the window on the way home .
I'm just doing my part to get this global warming stuff turned up a notch.
(Pun intended)

For those of you who think this is very un-politically correct,
C'mon up and bring a shovel, a window scraper, rock salt and about 1,500
extra dollars to pay for the fuel oil to keep the house warm.

No I wasn't!

Guess, I'm lucky worked fine all last year... hrm, with that new realization... I wonder what to do next... knowing me I'll keep pushing my luck. /me is retarded
