It's atleast a foot deep here. Trust it to snow today when I'm expecting a delivery (after waiting a month) from play.com. I do love the snow though. I was having snowball fights the other day with the kids and accidentally hit a sky dish and ran back inside of the house. Poor kids got the blame. LOL:D

Jon Tolzien 02-05-2009 06:10 AM

The weather, well its warmed, it started snowing, but for the most part it has been below zero degree Fahrenheit for the past two months. Can't wait for spring...

Magnumutz 02-05-2009 06:14 AM

About 5 degrees celsius. rainy all the time... we had just a few hours of snow this year.
Geez these didn't feel like holidays at all, cuz of the lack of snow.

iAnj 02-05-2009 06:51 AM

sleetish snow, approximatly 0.1mm deep. In some places.
It was deeper earlier this week

Paul M 02-05-2009 07:03 AM

Still snowing here. :)

Dismounted 02-05-2009 07:43 AM

Forecast: 43 degrees Celcius in two days. :D

Roms 02-05-2009 07:57 AM

It's been nice the last few days but should snow over the weekend (funny how when you have free time the weather is terrible).

See, their will be a snowballs chance in hell. :p

Can you believe its 28 degrees in FLORIDA. LOL Thats COLD for us. LOLOL It was around 17 degrees during the night.

It could snow. Early this morning it looked like it had but it was just that the moisture on the ground had frozen turning everything white.

KevinL 02-05-2009 12:00 PM

I didn't think it snowed like that in the UK?

It's like 4F right now...maybe colder. Theres a few feet a snow on the ground I think. I'm in the Boston area. I just moved from Arizona...I hate the snow.

jlew24asu 02-05-2009 12:01 PM

another freezing cold day in chicago. this has been a tough winter.

popowich 02-05-2009 01:45 PM

Blue sky but a chilly 15 degrees.

Caddyman 02-05-2009 01:56 PM

16F here, had about a inch of snow yesterday if that. had about 6 inches of snow all season...

Brandon Sheley 02-05-2009 02:12 PM

cold 34*F here right now....brrr

Wayne Luke 02-05-2009 04:20 PM

According to my weather monitor it is currently 61º F (16º C) on my front porch. Supposed to have rain today but it looks like the clouds got caught on the mountains and will be diverted around the valley again. At night it drops below freezing and the days have been a little cooler than usual. Can't wait until August when its 100+º F outside.

Personally, I think I am allergic to snow. We get snow occasionally and I am always sick during it. Don't even have to go outside and I get sick. It also brings back very bad memories of a week spent in Wisconsin in January years ago for business. Never doing that again. If I have a job that tells me to go to Wisconsin in January in the future my answer will be "I Quit".

Magnumutz 02-05-2009 04:47 PM

I really started to hate both summer and winter...
In the summer, the temperature goes up to 45? C... that's HOT, for a darn capital.
In the winter, the temperature drops down to even 30? C... that's pretty cold, i've had cars with blown radiators... regular anti-freeze simply won't cut it anymore, get extreme or don't get a car :p

The sucky thing is that in the winter, we barely get a few snow flakes... WE WANT SNOW !!

Guest190829 02-05-2009 04:59 PM

It's 21 F here right now not including wind chill factor. I can't wait until it is 60-70F and spring time.

Here we go, preparing for a nice (not really), toasty 43?C day. :) Actually, I think the forecast has just been revised to 44?C. :(

It doesn't normally. According to reports it's the worst we've had for 18 years (which I believe to be true). in england, we normally get snow around feb-april time which lasts, at most, a day or two.

Still snowing heavily here. Forecast in the south east was for rain but it's still snowing heavily outside as I type this post.

I kid you not, in the summer we have temperatures up to 45? C... and it feels even hotter being a HUGE city, pavement everywhere... it feels hotter than in a desert.

And YES, winters can get very cold... and mostly because there's no snow anymore.
When it snows, it's just a few degrees below 0. But when it doesn't, it's A LOT below 0 :D

Bucharest, desert and north pole :p

Btw, it's 15? C right now :D

AdrianH 02-06-2009 09:08 AM

Weather changes here every few hours,last 12 hours were @2.5C and hard rain,4 miles away they had snow all night.

Now back to -2C and 2 inches of snow has fallen in the last hour or so.:confused::rolleyes:

( Dorset South Coast UK).

Funny how much it has changed here in the UK, snow was a winter feature most years and 1963 was spectacular.People managed to get on with their lives and walked miles to work through the snow,shops opened,businesses ran and many schools were open in very short order once the roads were cleared.

Road/railway clearance was done manually as the modern machines simply did not exist and people looked after their neighbours and friends to make sure they had food and heating etc. there was no double glazing or insulation in homes and most had no central heating either.

Now into the 21st century and we get 2 -4 inches of snow and the entire country grinds to a halt,roads/buses/railways are incapable of running. Shops ,businesses and schools are shut and the newspapers/TV news are acting as if the end of the world has come.The amount of hype and exageration they spew out is truly amazing.

This is what things looked like in 1963 http://www.youtube.com/watch?gl=GB&h...eature=related and we have seen pictures this week from that winter showing the 12 foot deep snow in Wales, did life stop? No,everyone mucked in and got on with life.

Shelley_c 02-06-2009 09:36 AM

Couldn't agree with you more, (or stories I was told). It amazes me how alot of services are crying out and status is at a state of emergency. Take parcelforce (royalmail) for instance... It's because I expected 2 parcels on thursday and they have not delivered due to adverse weather conditions. Pathetic. Just my luck waiting over a month for the items to become in stock and then snow.

Sure, I can understand driving conditions can be dangerous but whatever happened to gritting the road, I was pondering today on the idea of under road heating. How good would that be to implement under the roads.

A question, Do parcelforce redeliver when they can't deliver due to adverse weather conditons? One of the items I am able to track but the other (because it fell a few pounds under the tracking policy I cannot track the item.

Anyhow, I agree. Not like the days where a little snow wouldn't hamper the british spirit of getting that delivery on time :D

It seems our region (northamptonshire) is one of the worst effected areas. It's still snowing heavily and looking out in the back garden it's approaching the 2ft mark.


Magnumutz 02-06-2009 09:38 AM

That video is AWESOME CareyCrew... i wish it would snow like that here :)

Well while we're all chivering in the uk, remember summers only a few months away and whilst we are basking in glourious heatwaves, you'll be freezing ;)

LOL, It must be great to live in a climate with such high temperatures ;)

August is the average warmest month.
The highest recorded temperature was 116°F in 1985.
The average coolest month is December.
The lowest recorded temperature was 18°F in 1989.
The maximum average precipitation occurs in February.

Yep, not a lot of rain, and lots of heat.
Not seen snow since 1987

Wayne Luke is correct it has been raining for the last 2 days here in the valley.
- It will make the grass ready for another fire or two later this summer.

Right now, it's 46 degrees Celsius, 45km/h NW winds, 13% humidity. Not comfortable at all. :p

Magnumutz 02-07-2009 07:17 AM

But in Australia is sooo easier to stand the heat... it simply rocks :)

YES, i am an Australia lover :p

Floods in the UK now

Wonder what we'll get next week :eek:

Wayne Luke 02-10-2009 05:16 PM

Its cold here... Storm from the last 4 days moved out and left us bare of cloud cover and all the trapped heat has left. Gives it enough time to freeze the rain and snow at night and let it thaw during the day. New storm coming tomorrow. Can't really complain as we haven't had any appreciable rainfall for almost three years now.

Can't wait until they start rationing water and recommending that you can only use above a specific amount of water every other day. Though I have already cut our water usage down by 50% over the last couple of years, it will be interesting to see how much lower it can go. My water bill is 1/3rd the area average already.

Brandon Sheley 02-10-2009 05:21 PM

63 out today, I'm heading out to enjoy it right now and play some disc golf.
