I saw this on the weather channel recently (who knows why I was on that channel in the first place, haha):

 
(I guess Petey would be the guy wearing the T-shirt year 'roundWink)
 
The place looks beautiful but I don't think I'd be able to take that kind of weather.  Maryland is cold enough for me as it is, haha.  We haven't had much snow yet, maybe two or three storms - the good stuff usually comes between January and March...

In Groningen (north of our beautifully home made country) people are rouding up the homeless and transporting them to the shelters, because tonight it will be below -15 C there. That's quite unique over here, normally we feel -9 or -10 C is extreme.

Grr, the mother's always criticizing my driving in the snow. Enough that I can't even drive the car to school when there's barely an inch of snow on the ground!
 
This comes from a woman who nearly hit 3 kids on her way to picking people up for the school carpool.Ermm

Angelo, you're avoiding the issue.

I suppose you're going to say next that when this snow thaws, it's no longer snow! Guidelines clearly state that if it used to be pristine snow, it continues to be listed as such even if it now looks like a grey puddle you'd avoid at all costs".
That is Post-Snow, which has nothing to do with UK being Snow-related.
Your evasion of this issue is disingenuous in the extreme
I wonder who is going to have the last say here, as I'm not giving in.... ever.Angry

Once again, you're getting this confused with Avant-Snow

BTW - temperature didn't get above -8 on my way to work this morning... in a word, "Brrrrr"

It´s beginning to fall here and it happens from time to time
The water rushes over all
cities crash in the mighty wave;
the final man is very small,
plunging in for his final bathe

I see. Yes, that's a warm place -- do you get heavy rains there, this time of year?
 
 (And just how "brown" are the men there, anyway? More of a very light beige, really, aren't they?)Wink
 
In any case, your assertion that it will "never" snow there would seem to indicate that you don't believe in continental drift, due to the inexorable movement of the earth's tectonic plates. The lizards and palm trees in Antarctica once smugly believed the same thing....Wink

Now, and extreamly thin layer of snow here and there. Might just be frost, though. Disapprove

Smile No snow here last night, but it's a rather brisk -30 C (that's -20 F, to you Yankee doodle dandies) here now. Would that be cold enough for y'all? (Beer freezes before you can finish it -- it's best brought outside at room temperature!)
 
This means the exposed parts of my face will be in serious pain by the time my ten-minute walk to work concludes. I really should invest in a bankrobber's balaclava....Pinch

Where is "Gadda-Da-Vida" again? (And is it hard to sleep, with that heavy organ playing 24-7?) Confused
 
You whimsically reticent young fellows should consider listing some sort of real location, methinks. I find it interesting to know where the people I'm chatting with on here are. (I bet many others do, too.) Shocked
 
 
 
 
I fixed your spelling and punctuation errors, BTW. Geek (My students don't return until tomorrow....)Wink

It was at first, but then i get used to it... I don't find this place nearly as fun as it used to be when i first moved here. Ouch
And all the colours are driving me nuts!

I remember one time, when I lived in Finland, when the thermometer outside showed -31, and the one on the freezer door -29 (all °C, of course)LOL. Having experienced temps of -30°C and lower, I wouldn't say it's my idea of fun - but always much better than having temps of almost +40°C with very high humidityDead.

Geek Yes, that works too -- and flying fish don't really so much fly, as glide....LOL
 
Go take a flying duck at a rolling profiterole, Tony! Angry
