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.

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.
laughing, in the out loud sense at your meteorological commentary above. I will say here in Vancouver (in the Canadas) we are fortunate to only have to endure maybe a weeks worth of snow to ground contact per year. But back in my prairie home on the other side of the mountains in Alberta, snowing mid June... yeah it's happened.

I am really not a fan of the white stuff any more. I'm glad to be in Vancouver... Maybe I'll have to move to Australia. My brother in law's an aussie he could set me up...

I kinda wish it would snow in San Luis Obispo. It seemed to be getting warmer the later the year got, then yesterday the average temp for the day plummeted from 86 F to about 69 F. But someone told me it never snows in SLO...

We certainly need a cold winter this year. LI'm not sure why, exactly, but according to naturists it'll be good for our honeybees. I could work it out, but right now I can't be arsed. Still, more snow is cool.

Lucky git, in Edinburgh it was freezing all day, and it didn't snow once. And I had 2 periods of PE, I almost froze to death.

Ahhh we're supposed to get snow tonight. I like snow, at least it gives it a valid reason for it to be so bloody cold.

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.

WOO!

Let's give it up for Leicster snow-everyone around me just started cheering when the snow started to patter down.

No snow in Blackpool, but it's cold enough & if there was any precipitation in the air it would probably fall as snow, if it's not prevented by the sea air.

Be interesting to see if they've fixed the Shires/Highcross's heating yet. :)

Now you can work out why "The Office" was set in Slough.

Hopefully so - I was planning on heading down there soonish.

EDIT: Bah, annoying quote boxes.

LOL ,I thought that once too, when my Austrailian friend told me that their winter season is in July.

I was like "You have Christmas in July?" & they very slowly explained to me that their Winter season is in July, but they celebrate Christmas on the 25th of December like everyone else, which just happens to be in the height of their Summer, & that Christmas is defined by the date not the weather.

I felt like a bit of an idiot, but not much, for jumping to the natural conclusion that Winter = Christmas.

I'd pop into "The Works" on the way, across from Starbucks. They've got some of the old Transformer series on DVD for a very cheap price. ;)
I'll take a look in there, thanks :)
