Here it often comes down as just cold rain.

Nah, he ain't. In Norfolk/VA Beach they close everything at the slightest bit of snow/ice. Like, a few inches closes the base, etc...

Alarik - whose flight to Ohion got cancelled earlier today...

Well down here in good 'ol Tidewater Virginia we got 0.0625 inches (one sixteenth of an inch) of snow woith two inch drifts!!! That was enogh to shut down all the schools for the day and to cause everyone to drive under thirty MPH. The amazing thing is that it actually snowed before christmas this year.

You're kidding, right?!

I remember going to school in six inches of snow. If it was eight inches, school might be canceled.

Timstone, Hoe zeg je dit in het Nederlands?

I remember snow... fluffy white stuff. We had it once about 10 years ago in February. First time in 50 years that Phoenix got measurable snow.

No snow today though. It's 43F at 10:30pm. High for Christmas should be about 57F.

The nice thing about AZ is that in Phoenix we don't have to deal with the snow, but if we want to go see snow we can usually go for about a two hour drive and find some. It is actually possible (if you are crazy enough) to water ski and snow ski in the same day.

I remember going to school when the snow was over a meter deep and we couldn't open the back door because of it despite having a fairly tall back deck.

I remember (and still do occaisionally

) going to school when the temperature is below -40 degrees Celcius. By the way, -40 Celcius and Fahrenheit are the same thing. Now, I say "below" minus 40, because that's as low as the thermometer goes. Who knows how cold it really was!

Back in the late '80's, my dad was working as a logger up in Northern BC, around Fort Nelson. He remembers when the temperature was below -60 degrees Celcius, with a windchill of ~ -99 degrees. Now THAT is cold. [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/Cold.gif[/img]

ah, I remember when I was a kid and had to walk 5 miles to school in the snow.. ah those were the days...

We got over 16+ inches of the white stuff here do to the storm, I sympathize with AT, I had the same problem, except, my blower only did the top layer, since we also had freezing rain and sleet besides the snow, underneathe was all ice and slush and had to be shoveled by hand, (ugh, my aching back) and I have a double driveway to boot..

I already sent a letter to Santa, my state rep, my congressman and the Pres asking that from now on when we get storms like this that they send it to California instead of here they need to see a white Xmas once in awhile

enough of watching beach bunnies in 70 degree weather on xmas, thats just not right while i'm shoveling this stuff

Beach bunnies??? Nobody goes to be beach on Christmas. The water is too cold!
