Oooooh, it's snowing!

[The Iron Ninja]

We have squirrels where I live. They throw things at people and laugh. They're not nice.

Maybe someone angered them, did someone take away their acorns?
Was it you?
Squirrels that throw things at people and laugh would still be very awesome.

No, they're just mean. It is really funny, but only when they're throwing things and laughing at other people. It's not fun when your sitting on a bench reading before class and you get beaned in the head by an acorn. It hurts more than you'd think.

I still wish my country had squirrels, I would endure the pain of thrown acorns just to see a squirrel laugh.

Anyway back on topic so The_Root_of_all_evil doesn't hate me for de-railing his thread.

Not sure if anyone already clarified for him, but July is indeed a winter month down here, though to my knowledge you would be hard pressed to find snow at sea level in Australia in any season.

I love the snow and the cold, I'm pretty much immune to it. I want to stay in the Midwest of Northeast for college because I've lived in the cold for this long, might as well continue. Plus, living in Florida or something like that would suck. I hate the heat in the summer, especially when it's humid. A grey sky with a foot of snow is prettier than a blue sky summer day.

I agree entirely with that last sentence there.

I Agree 100% and then some, especially if there is still alot of snow on the tree branches, and there are alot of pine trees.

I will admit, seeing the bare branches of all the trees encrusted in snow is very beautiful, but icy roads and buried cars are just very inconvenient.

yeah, especially when they cause death.

No Snow in London. Never Snows in London. Damn You Urban Heat Island.

Instead you get bleak soul crushing London rain, I was there for 4 days and the constant grey skies and threat of rain was downright depressing.

Because life must be sooooooo interesting in the middle of canadian nowhere.

Yeah it only happens like two days a year, other than that its rain and cold.
Lucky northeners.

Think of it as a sliver of silver in a the giant dark cloud that is living in the north.

Dunno how it works around the rest of the world, but I'm assuming Aussies have it in July? Or ....actually no, I've no idea how it works round there.

While we do have a Christmas in July (Really, just an excuse to have a winter holiday), we still have Christmas on the 25th of December. So, while your christmas is cold, ours is hot.

Ultimately, the whole 'Santa's Sleigh' thing is a bit ludicrous, if traditional, over here.

It's been snowing in Michigan for a few days, a little earlier than usual. We might get above 120 inches of snow this year.

 

[Cheesus333]

Ooh, it's snowing.

Good for you.

 

[mintsauce]

We had a nice dusting last night in Farnborough, I think it must have been a good inch or so of snow. Great fun to drive through as it was coming down.

It's bitterly cold today though, slightly surreal for late October in the UK.

 

[Fraught]

It's still pretty warm here. :S

october 28th 5.30pm, Bracknell, Berkshire

it snowing deep and has set overnight

 

[TheDean]

October 28th 3:35 pm in Leicester. We have snow.

Now I know you Canucks might not think "Wow" but I'm sure all us Brits do.

Just to elaborate a bit, we haven't really had a decent winter for decades, and snow appearing this early has my hopes up for a White Christmas.

we had a tiny bit of snow yesterday in NI also

 

[Novajam]

It isn't snowing here in Perth. Good ol' Perth, with your 35+ summers, smatterings of winter rain and tendency to be really god damn windy.

Did you know Perth is the Windiest city in the world. It's true.

 

[the jellyman]

WHAT? you ... you... west sussex. sunny skies distinct lack of snow until (if we're catastrophically, free-fallout-3-copy-2-days-before-release-copy style lucky) April. damn you colder climate inhabitants all to hell.

 

[ianuam]

In response to earlier poster, the Peterborough in Eastern England. If i was in the Aussie Pboro, then i don't think i could really expect any snow. Guessing you're in the Canadian version eh?

 

[Anton P. Nym]

Grump. The forecast was badly wrong; we didn't get 2-5cm (1-2"), we got 15cm (6") which is enough to leave accumulation on the ground and there are tree branches down everywhere. Traffic is nuts because the salters/sanders weren't running at full capacity yet, but the main roads are clear now.

Maybe photos later, when I get home and can offload them from my camera.

I live in South Carolina. I haven't had a White Christmas in ever. In fact, I don't think it's even snowed enough to cover the ground in like six years.

It's still fuckin' cold, though. Winter sucks.

dude i'd wear shorts in your "winter" and you say it's cold

cold is when the balls fall off your brass monkey

 

[the monopoly guy]

Come spring, when the temperatuer fianlly reaches above 40(f) we will all be out in shorts and t-shirts, thinking it's warm.
