Well, that's another six beer shoveled, and another six inches of snow drunk!
 It just keeps a-comin' down!So, how's the weather over/across/up/down/underneath/adjacent to/atop your way? Got snow?Monsoons? Droughts? A rain of poisonous toads and/or blood?
 Snowmageddon?
Anyone need some snow?

We've gone from 60° weather yesterday, to 20-30° weather today. I even did my 4 miles in shorts and a t-shirt yesterday. No chance of that happening today.

Weather is schizophernic around here too. Temperature highs have been ranging from about 20F to the high 50s. We had a record high of 68 a week ago though. |

We're gonna get 3 to 7 inches overnight. I'm in high school, and they've already announced a two hour delay, and I hope we don't have a snow day. Delays are good though. One of the things I'm going to miss once I graduate.
Finals were supposed to be the last 2 days of school, but they got cancelled due to snow. They were moved to Tuesday of this week, so we have tomorrow to study, and the next day to take tests. If we don't have a snow day the next two days this week.

Yeah baby! The beautiful (frozen) Sioux Falls of South Dakota! There's supposed to be a river flowing over those rocks. I've already broken three shear pins off my snow blower this winter!

Looks lovely!
 How much total accumulation on the ground would you estimate, Clementine?
About 2.5 - 3 feet here, and -20 C this morning. We lost about 6 inches to a foot in a day of unseasonable warm and rain a week or so back, too. Still, we have tons of the stuff -- those exposed rocks in your pic would be buried, here.
I'm well north of you, near Timmins, Ontario, BTW. 'Tis a relatively balmy -13 C here now, I see.
And snow blowers are for wee girly men  -- I use one of those large, acoustic, green, free-to-operate, silent, beer-driven scoops!  Edited by Peter - January 04 2009 at 22:00 |

Nary a flake, thankfully. However there might be a few nor'easters in the coming months that'll dump a bunch on us.

Snowing heavily as I type...
I think the UK is actually getting its first proper winter for about 10 years this year; pretty to look at, but a bit poo to drive in (the roads are fine, but the other road users drive liker complete twonks )
[edit] Just nipped out for a cigarette - lovely...  ; the joys of addiction, eh? 
BTW Peter - 'snow day' declared recently? Edited by Jim Garten - January 05 2009 at 02:59 |

Well... for the first time in a few years, we've been able to skate on real (as opposed to artificial) ice past Christmas holidays. And this morning (first working day) to our horror, we were surprised by about 8cm of snow when we opened the curtain.
Peter read on before responding!  I am painfully aware that 8 cm is nothing compared to what people in North America and Scandinavia are used to, but over here it means that our already overly used motorways lock up completely. As an example, the main north-south route over here (a.k.a. the A2), which is about 200km long held over 100km of traffic jam - on one direction only... This guy's working from home today - not because of the snow, but because of how it affects traffic over here. |

Well, we have a bit of snow here in West - Belgium (I suppose in the hills / mountains in the east they have a lot more), but I'm glad with it. My daughter made a mini - snow man and threw some modest snowballs.
And it's freezing for quite some time. Wonderful to have a classic winter.

So if (given the general definition involving huge disruption & drifting) we don't have real snow, does that mean what the UK is experiencing at the moment is snow-related?

Snow-related at best, Jim. And if there aren't any crystals or iglo's in it it doesn't even deserve to be called that.

Look - if powdery ice can be called snow, I don't see why what we're getting in the UK cannot be snow related - we all remember what happened when the weather team included rain as proto-snow
