So it's snowing

[Mr Buckshot]

Yes, it's snowing heavily outside as I type up this thread. It's the weekend, so I'm having snowball fights and building snow art - Halo 3 will have to wait lol (I just got it since my birthday is in 2 days, but I guess it'll be left unopened).

But in Vancouver, snow is more trouble than it's worth, especially on weekdays. The damned salt trucks don't operate long enough and only work on the main roads, without bothering to clear up the residential small roads, but since Canada is so socialist, I can't really blame them. All I can say is, thank god for all-weather tires and Quattro all-wheel drive (my mom has a 2006 Audi A6), because it's too easy to lose traction on the snow-covered roads.

Still, I love snow, and it's the main thing that keeps me from moving back to California. Next weekend I might go up to Whistler, which is some kind of ski resort at a nearby mountain.

So, is it snowing heavily for anyone else here? I bet it's especially bad in Boston (where my sister is studying) and Toronto.

[Tweek]

:iis: :iia:

global warming killed snow here.
we havent had snow for a years now.

[Con]

Snowed over here in Victoria too this morning, it's all gone now though.

[Huero]

We might get some snow showers this weekend, but logic says it isn't likely.

[Gamerkd16]

First snowed here (NY) on Thanksgiving. But we haven't got anything major. Last night we got some rain and snow.

Yay, black ice. -_-

[Bodzilla]

You Cray-Z's and your snow <:mad:>

[Tweek]

it's ZED, not zee!!

[ImSpartacus]

We are only getting some light freezing rain in Ohio .(

[Bodzilla]

it's ZED, not zee!!
Go BACK TO BOGANVILE >:U

[Timo]

Never snows down here :-( Apparently it did snow once in the past 50 years, but it melted the second it hit the ground :p

[adumass]

Seems like it never snows here in New York..:(

[Gamerkd16]

December not much. I remember last year I think we had a green Christmas. It starts snowing a lot in January though. Our winters are getting shorter.

[Hotrod]

Wow, there's been snow here for 3 weeks. It's good though, it means I can go skiing.

[n00b1n8R]

it was pissing down yesterday, but deffenetly no snow ;)

[Terin]

It snowed for a few hours by me (Illinois) and got a little accumulation. However, it heated up a little and everything is ice. Even my windows. It's fatal for me to go out.

[TheGhost]

The ground is covered with snow and we should be getting a lot more soon. =)

[Reaper Man]

Damn you and your snow :gonk:

[Leiukemia]

Godamn snow. I just got my car a few weeks ago and now I can't even use it. I mean I could, but I baby it too much to risk it.

[Zeph]

*looks outside*
*doesn't see snow*

[Skiiran]

I live in So-Cal.

Yeah. I wish I had snow so bad.

[Varmint260]

I'm living north of Conscars on Vancouver Island in sunny Campbell River. We started getting snow last weekend, but it soon melted the following day. However, it started again this morning, and the temperature hasn't gone above -4 Celsius (that's in the upper 20s of Fahrenheit for the rest o' ya). It started snowing about 6am this morning and as of now (6:35pm PST) we have almost 22 inches of fine powder snow. The problem with powder is that it makes horrible snowballs. I wish I had a set of X-country skis right now.

According to the weather channels, apparently Campbell R has the most snow on the island! YAY!

Driving to class on Monday won't be fun in a 2WD mini-van...

[Rob Oplawar]

It's taunting us here. The forecast called for (and has for the past few days) lots of snow, but instead it's hovering just above freezing and we're getting scattered bits of sleet. Lame.

[paladin]

Snowing in Western Washington! I hate snow... people need to learn how to drive in it!

[Dr Nick]

It's been snowing here for almost a month!

Also, salt sucks, dirt works just as well and doesn't rust your car to shit.
It just looks less pretty.

[Patrickssj6]

Germany....no snow but we have warnings for tormented weather in about 2-3 hours.

Good thing is that America has to pay Africa/Asia now to keep their emissions up. I guess that will help your currency immensely but at least it has a good side to it.

I'm not ranting, these are proven facts. :cop:

[Tweek]

i remember when we used to go iceskating on natural ice.

last time that was possible was like 5 years ago, the ice never gets thick enough anymore
thanks global warming.

[flibitijibibo]

Nothing yet in Maryland. Hasn't been cold enough and there hasn't been any decent rain. The clouds taunt us. T_T

[Ki11a_FTW]

It snows here everyone and a while, last year we had a few days off from it

[Syuusuke]

Hey look it's snowing in NY now.

Cool.

[Masterz1337]

CT is :-D

[FlyingStone]

Its cloudy as heck out, and looks like its going to snow any sec now.
Still no snow in Manchester, CT D:

[thehoodedsmack]

Waterloo, Ontario has snow. Too much snow.

[paladin]

Global Warming is giving us snow...

[Cortexian]

All you shutup, I live in Calgary... Worst weather conditions EVER.

[Bad Waffle]

I havent seen a snow storm in 10 years---ever since i moved here from Delaware. The mojave desert blows.

[Patrickssj6]

Global Warming is giving us snow...
That made my day.

Global Warming. More water evaporates but it doesn't freeze.

[Agamemnon]

Okay certified Internet scientists, try and not turn this thread into a train wreck.

[Mass]

But they have obviously spent years researching the query and have thousands of pages of catalogued data, are respected in the scientific community and devised their own widely accepted theories on the subject.
:-3
Anyway, it snowed here yesterday, I shoveled it, fucking familial duties. :mad:

As I said to Rob when I came inside, ice in my hair, "Hey geuss what I am: it starts with F and ends with ucking cold."

[Amit]

Snowed pretty heavily last night in Whitby, here in the GTA. Now it's freezing fucking rain and I just had a haricut!

[Leiukemia]

It was rediculous today. Driveway needed to be shovelled twice within 2 hours, thank god it's raining now.

[rossmum]

Easy for you to say, ungrateful bastard. I miss the snow :(

[Mr Buckshot]

It was rediculous today. Driveway needed to be shovelled twice within 2 hours, thank god it's raining now.

Hey, I was thinking the same thing when it started raining...until the rain turned into snow (temperature dropped to 0 degrees again). Now my driveway, which I just finished clearing, is covered with snow again.

[Rob Oplawar]

We didn't see a single flake of the 6" the forecast called for over here. FU meteorologists, and FU weather.
Actually, considering that I have to bike to school on roads that are a low priority for the plows, it's probably better for me that there's no snow. But I is so sad. :saddowns:

[OmegaDragon]

The closest I've ever been to seeing snow is the sides of the fridges in the supermarket :gonk:

[Random]

That made my day.

Global Warming. More water evaporates but it doesn't freeze.

http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2003/11/031106052121.htm

Global warming can cause increased snowfalls depending on where you live. The Great Lakes area has experienced an constant increase in snowfall since 1930.


Syracuse, NY, one of the snowiest cities in the U.S., experienced four of its largest snowfalls on record in the 1990s – the warmest decade in the 20th century, as a result of global warming.
“Recent increases in the water temperature of the Great Lakes are consistent with global warming,” said Burnett. “Such increases widen the gap between water temperature and air temperature – the ideal condition for snowfall.”


Oh and it was snowing in PA today, switched to freezing rain.

[Sever]

Just rain here in Virginia. I went out and biked in it just for the hell of it, wearing just a t-shirt, shorts, and vest.

Quite fun. WHERE THE HELL IS MY SNOW!!! GOD DAMNIT!!!

[DrunkenSamus]

I havent seen a snow storm in 10 years---ever since i moved here from Delaware. The mojave desert blows.

You live ALL the way over there? Harsh...hehe, I live like an hour away.

[Archon23]

Just started snowing here. :downs:

[ima_from_America]

Just started dropping below the 85 degree mark here.

[Leiukemia]

Easy for you to say, ungrateful bastard. I miss the snow :(

I could say the same thing to you about your weather :P Snow was fun in highschool, but now it's nothing but problems. I need to get a new job, that's pretty hard to do if I can't even drive to the place. There's the risk of wrecking my car, not even by my fault but because of another driver losing control. Then there's the salt on the roads that eats away at my already slightly rusted carframe. I can't hang out with my friends either, they live too far to walk, and fuck walking in the amount of snow we have here anyways. It's cold, it's wet, and I look like a fool if I play in it because I'm too old for it now. I'm not in school so I can't get a "snow day". A snow day now just means no work and no money. A couple years ago some kids threw a rock-snowball through our main window, which is huge and expensive to replace. And I don't doubt the idiots will be back causing other kinds of trouble this year because we've had 3 windows broken, along with some equipment/things we keep outside. The corner I live on has had more car accidents then the total years my family has been living, along with very many close calls of people almost hitting our vehicles. My car also happens to have to be parked in the space right by the road. Also, there's construction going on outside of my house that cannot be completed until the snow is gone, so it's just one big mess of shit as soon as you leave my driveway. So yeah, WINTER CAN LICK MY FUCKING BALLS

[Amit]

Didn't you already say that you went biking in the rain for like 40 miles before in just a T-Shirt, shorts, and a vest? What now, you want us to be more e**c and do the same?

How far down in the states do you guys get snow?

[Sever]

We had a few good blizzards (1+ yard/meter) back in the early/mid 90's, but nothing big since then. i miss those days. And it was 5 miles in 15 minutes, not 40. I could do that though, but I'd be tired as hell afterwards.

[Gamerkd16]

It figures after I say that there is not much snow here we get some. Icy conditions for tomorrow morning - rain and snow - ugh it's going to suck.

[Pope]

But in Vancouver, snow is more trouble than it's worth, especially on weekdays.

Yeah did you know that there's only 3 real snow plows in all the Lower Mainland?

It's stopped now...it's kinda sad, I was hoping for a snow day.

[rossmum]

I could say the same thing to you about your weather :P
I'd gladly trade weather, I can't stand the heat...

[Timo]

Summer sure has arrived here, the (sea)water is hot and it's 28C :D

[rossmum]

It's been either cloudless and in the mid 30s here or storming for hours on end and on the mid 30s here. FUCK YOU AUSTRALIAN WEATHER PATTERNS http://sa.tweek.us/emots/images/emot-argh.gif

[Kornman00]

He just has to compensate his little "tail" with tall tales.

As far as Florida. Yes, I r srs.

[Agamemnon]

It hasn't snowed in Florida in 30 years, and even then the snow melted before it hit the ground in Jacksonville. Probably all the smog vaporized it too.

[Patrickssj6]

I'd gladly trade weather, I can't stand the heat...
No wonder if you get cooled down 24 hours a day by your computer fan. You should go outside and enjoy the sun :cop:

[Varmint260]

My college canceled classes today due to the weather; the snow on the roads has been compacted down so much that it's more slippery than wet ice. Plus the fact that I can't get my pimpin' 4X4 out of the driveway (for "pimpin' 4X4", see lame RWD Chevy Astro Van that sucks in the bad weather). I do have studded snow tires, but there's just not enough clearance or enough torque to get me out of the driveway, and I'll be damned if I'm gonna spend three hours digging it out only to get it to the road and slide into the ditch.

It started raining here last night, but I don't know if it's gonna thaw things out enough to make the college re-open tomorrow. Oh well, I guess I can spend another day doing useless crap :)

[Hotrod]

Today, I woke up at 6:30, and the first thing that they say on the radio when it turns on is that buses are canceled. That's the 2nd snow day we get in 2 weeks. Gotta love winter.

[CN3089]

So, is it snowing heavily for anyone else here? I bet it's especially bad in Boston (where my sister is studying) and Toronto.

We got about a foot or so of snow over the weekend, yeah. It was followed up by freezing rain, though, so no snowball fights. vhttp://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c251/CN3089/Emoticons/frown.gifv

[Gamerkd16]

It's like a blizzard over here. This happened rather suddenly.

[Archon23]

Snows coming down pretty hard right now where I live (Quincy, MA)

Still not bad enough to close down schools but who knows what it'll be like by tomorrow.

[klange]

lol snow (http://java.ogunderground.com/stuff/javasnow.png)

How about I do it instead and we say we just had a snowball fight in Arteen's Snowgrove if anybody wonders where we were.

Out of all seriousness, I love the snow and ice. Thats why I love snow and Ice CE maps. We hardly ever get any winters here anymore. I used to meditate out in the freezing snow just because it was so beautiful.

[Gamerkd16]

Wow the roads were terrible this morning. Spinning out on ice, 10 mph on the highway and still losing traction. Thanks god afternoon was better on the way home.

But I probably get to look forward to this all tomorrow morning as well.

[Leiukemia]

<.< meet you there >.>

[Rob Oplawar]

So, instead of snow, today we've got 20mph wind with 40mph gusts. Makes me wish I had a wind generator. It's windy up here on the front range. Also, today a gust of wind literally blew me off my bike and into the street in front of oncoming traffic. It was scary.

Plus I got a booboo. :saddowns:

Why are you riding your bike in winter?

[Mass]

Because it's cheap, easy, produces body heat and there's not much snow.
:eyesroll:
A hunch.

[Varmint260]

I dug my van out of the snow today. Good thing I can drive to class tomorrow 'cause I don't know if I could stand getting a ride to school with relatives again. Imagine listening to "it's the fourth of December today which means we have twenty-six days until Christmas" and other statements of equal intelligence for a whole hour considering that the trip only takes 20 minutes normally.

Sorry, went on a brief rant there. Just happy to have my van outta the snow.

Anyways, at present it is raining with no signs of stopping any time soon. The snow is almost gone off all the roads... in some ways I miss the snow now that it's almost gone, but as a person who greatly values having his own vehicle (even if it drives like crap in the snow), I'm glad to see it go.

@Rob: Quit trying to injure yourself, man!

[Rob Oplawar]

I woke up yesterday and:
http://www.spacebrick.net/pictures/blog_gallery/snow.jpg
It's about friggin time!

[Sever]

Lucky bastard! We got a light dusting here on Wednesday, but I was out in it working. Guess it would've sucked if it had snowed heavily though - we were moving a house that was located about three miles down a winding yet heavily-traveled road. I'm glad we didn't have any complications though, even if it does mean not having much snow.

[Con]

Snowed this morning here as well, but it's nearly all melted now. Forecasted to rain all week. Great.

[TeeKup]

It's 60 degrees out side. :(

[Rob Oplawar]

Judging by the steadily shrinking icicle outside my window, I'm gonna say this won't last very long. =(

[flibitijibibo]

KITTY! ^_^

Back on topic, we had snow for about 12 hours, then freezing rain for about another 12 hours, and that was it. The snow's already gone. Screw MD.

[Mass]

JEOFFRY! ^_^

FTFY

[Leiukemia]

Grr, snowed here too. I really hope the road conditions are good tomorrow cause I have a job interview. Stupid snow.

[DrunkenSamus]

Winter here in SoCal and it is fucking cold. No snow but freezing temperatures + Santa Ana winds = an icy hell.

[Emmzee]

Meanwhile, here in North Carolina, we're set to break temperature records this upcoming week.

[Skiiran]

Winter here in SoCal and it is fucking cold. No snow but freezing temperatures + Santa Ana winds = an icy hell.
Yes this.

[DrunkenSamus]

Seriously, it pisses me off. We live near the beach and so we should be getting more rain, but nooooooo. Instead of rain, I get freezing wind. Oh goody.

[Skiiran]

When you get further inland, like where I go to school, you get both.

I remember on friday I was actually only freezing wet on one side because of the wind.

Do you live in the Inland Empire or like in the valleys? I mean Apple valley, Antelope Valley, Lancaster, those places.

[meepster]

IT snows here ine philly alot lately. not really accumulating more than an inch but its still nice to have. I got to walk home from school in itlast week. AWESOME.

[teh lag]

Raining right now (:(), but last week we got a few inches of snow and got a school delay. It's all melted though, and there's ubergross puddles of leaf-pulp where people walked on leaves covered in snow on the road that got ground down.

[meepster]

we get off for different reasons. Like last year. Bomb Threats.

[DrunkenSamus]

IT snows here ine philly alot lately. not really accumulating more than an inch but its still nice to have. I got to walk home from school in itlast week. AWESOME.

I wanna do that one day with a few friends. Walk all the way from Pasadena to La Crescenta.

[FlyingStone]

Finally snowing in Manchester, CT.
Took long enough.

[Rosco]

So we had a hugeass frost last night. It just wont damn snow >:(

[Rob Oplawar]

It's so cold outside. The smaller roads near my apartment are just refusing to get slush- instead we're getting snow sand- too cold to melt but ground down to the point where it's got the texture of slightly wet beach sand. And there's ice everywhere and air so frigid it's getting through even my big heavy jacket which has never let me get cold before.

I love it! I <3 the cold. It's like my heart, apparently.

[PenGuin1362]

you cold, cold child rob >:|

it's snowin like a mofo in southern nh right now >_>

[Apoc4lypse]

you cold, cold child rob >:|

it's snowin like a mofo in southern nh right now >_>

I want to be there, now, build me a teleporter... lol

its "icing" down here, Central Jersey.... we got like a little snow and it all turned to ice, so theres like less than an inch of ice on the ground. I want to go snowboarding...

[DrunkenSamus]

It's calm yet cold right now. I know from past experiences that it will probably stay that way.

[Emmzee]

It rained for, like, 2 minutes.

Talk about fucking weak.

[Archon23]

OH HAY I LIVE IN NEW ENGLAND.

I'm gonna guess by tomorrow theres gonna be at least 5-6 inches on the ground.

[TeeKup]

It's 75 Degree's. :gonk:

[n00b1n8R]

gb2 metric <:mad:>

also, lucky you.

[DrunkenSamus]

also, fricken cold here i hate it >:0

It's Canada. Of course...I have cousins in Canada who also complain that it is cold.

[Archon23]

I got almost 30 cm of snow and school gets delayed for 2 hours. Sure they plowed the roads to be walkable but there was ice everywhere. Almost half the people I know tripped on the way there, and almost everyone tripped on the ice patches just outside the school. :gonk:

Fucking retard school administrators....

[Hotrod]

Sunday, we're going to get another snow storm, and another foot of snow. I like snow because a lot of snow/hail = no school.

[Zeph]

I woke up yesterday and:
http://www.spacebrick.net/pictures/blog_gallery/snow.jpg
It's about friggin time!

what, your cat found the window?

Anyways, it's getting back down towards freezing now. If there's any clouds that come my way it shall snow outside the Eastman bubble.

[343guiltymc]

Sunday, we're going to get another snow storm, and another foot of snow. I like snow because a lot of snow/hail = no school.
I hate missing school, cause I'll get the homework I have to both the homework I've missed and the homework I have to do the next day. Plus there hasn't been a snow day in my area in like, a long time.

[DrunkenSamus]

It beats dressing for school while your still half-asleep.:)

[PenGuin1362]

had 6 inches of snow thursday night, already on top of about 4 inches of previous snow. now we're due for another storm sunday :D time for some more snowboarding ^_^

p.s. 6 inches of fresh powder is fun :p

[Gamerkd16]

A huge snowstorm tonite. And I get to be driving in it. :/

Hoping for this storm to last until monday. No exams on Monday? Hopefully...

[Hotrod]

time for some more snowboarding

:eek:Snowboarding!!! What's wrong with you!?

Actually, I just prefer skiing, that's all. Also, most snowboarders that I know suck and just slide down the hill on their ass and sweep all the snow away.

[itszutak]

One of my best friends died skiing. :(

Since then, I've liked snow, but I'll never snowboard or ski.

[TeeKup]

Yeah skiing into a tree at 40 mph is never a good thing. Thats why I don't do either sports. >_>;;

[Hotrod]

Yeah, it's been snowing like crazy non-stop all day today. We have around 2-3 feet of snow. Snow day mb?

[Tweek]

:iis: :iia:

i want snow here too :<
