There was wasn't there Jel? It has now stopped and it is sunny! Not that I feel much benefit cos the office is still freezing.

WOW! I thought Portsdown Hill was on fire a few minutes ago. A massive white curtain of hail/snow was moving steadily across the landscape about 2 miles away, looking like a huge pall of smoke. Then the whole lot hit us and obscured everything for about 5 minutes. All gone now but there are some v dark clouds on the horizon. The weather today ROXXXS!

Yeah it's the same in Brighton! Mad bright sunshine now after a swirling blizzard.

When I awoke this morning the broken fridge freezer in next door's garden was covered in snow (as was everything else). I haven't seen outdoors for three hours so no idea if Oxford is like Belgium.

haha mayor ken has been in terrific form all week: "i can't really understand london underground, claiming they were caught unawares by winter — it happens every year!!" etc etc

when i wz a kid on work experience i did the "research" (as directed by my boss) which allowed shropshire county council to cut back on the gritting and salting service: abt a year after my five month stint ended, britain had ther worst winter in 30 years and parts of shropshire were colder than the south pole for a coupla days (it's true!! SP during midsummer of course but even so!!)

SOOOO much SNOW!!!! (2 feet)

Where is it?

The snow is here in NYC. They expect 18 to 24 inches! Right now it's coming down an inch an hour. 1010 WINS is saying it's bigger than the blizzard of 1996.

That's what my cab driver told me, so it must be true! Jay-Jay Johanson wore a Norwegian-type sweater to shield himself from the cold. It's purty out.

― Mary (Mary), Monday, 17 February 2003 03:27 (twenty-one years ago) link

Oh my god, the snow IS IN MY HOUSE. No wonder my place is so god damned cold.

― rosemary (rosemary), Monday, 17 February 2003 03:38 (twenty-one years ago) link

No snow in Georgia!

It can't be that warm if you have to layer. Suckah!

I went swimming today. I will not admit to the snow beast. WHO LET THIS BITCH OUT?

― Ally (mlescaut), Monday, 17 February 2003 03:46 (twenty-one years ago) link

No snow in Orlando - I spent the day in shorts and a tank-top. And it's still warm tonight.

What are the ontological implications of the fact that we're supposed to get 4-8 inches of snow tomorrow? I'm guessing it means that Nietzsche was right. Either that or God is very angry at the moment.

― Aaron W (Aaron W), Tuesday, 4 March 2003 14:35 (twenty-one years ago) link

It is a completely depressing and devastating notion, more snow! Again! I can't even joke about this.

― Nicole (Nicole), Tuesday, 4 March 2003 14:48 (twenty-one years ago) link

I know. I'm supposed to see the Rockets play the Pistons tonight but it's in jeopardy now cuz the Palace is so far away and the thought of driving through a blizzard is...... *crying* Why?? Why??

― the snowfox, Wednesday, 28 January 2004 16:04 (twenty years ago) link

wow, three threads about snow. does that mean we're all amazingly boring that we have to talk about the weather this much?

― colette (a2lette), Wednesday, 28 January 2004 16:06 (twenty years ago) link

snow is great though!

― ken c (ken c), Wednesday, 28 January 2004 16:08 (twenty years ago) link

This is THE ORIGINAL SNOW THREAD.

I have yet to see its rivals.

― the snowfox, Wednesday, 28 January 2004 16:09 (twenty years ago) link

Snow is only good if it's fresh.

Random light snow flurries in southeastern Minnesota yesterday and today. And it's damn cold. I'm not ready.

No, alas, I'm wrong....

― Jesse, Tuesday, 20 November 2007 00:42 (sixteen years ago) link

We haven't had snow here in years. Used to get one decent snowfall every winter.

― Rock Hardy, Tuesday, 20 November 2007 00:48 (sixteen years ago) link

Where are you? (I'm in Chicago)

― Jesse, Tuesday, 20 November 2007 12:15 (sixteen years ago) link

45% chance of snow for Thanksgiving!!!

And "wintry mix" for tomorrow!

― Jesse, Tuesday, 20 November 2007 18:08 (sixteen years ago) link

Yeah, I was going to drive to Milwaukee on Thxgvng but now I might go the night before. People drive crazy during that first snow.

― Jordan, Tuesday, 20 November 2007 18:09 (sixteen years ago) link

I'm in NE Mississippi. North of the MS/TN state line they seem to get plenty (Knoxvillains correct me if I'm rong), and south of here along a Jackson-Meridian line they seem to get a little each year because there's more Gulf moisture in the air, but we're in an in-between zone that hasn't seen more than a few flakes in years.

Six inches of snow in Hertfordshire, according to my dad.

― James Mitchell, Tuesday, 28 October 2008 21:34 (fifteen years ago) link

And there's snow in Dalston and Mile End, though not six inches of it.

― James Mitchell, Tuesday, 28 October 2008 23:30 (fifteen years ago) link

No snow out in Fulham last night but High Wycombe was drenched in it from what I could see on the News so I'm glad I don't have to do the Oxford Tube run any more.

A bit of sleet in town counted as the first snow London had seen in October since 1934. Following an almost unyieldingly wet year.

How does this equate with global warming?

― synths and drum machines (e.g. Simmonds) (Marcello Carlin), Wednesday, 29 October 2008 09:54 (fifteen years ago) link

early snow = global warming
late snow = global warming
no snow = global warming
wet summers = global warming
dry hot summers = global warming

is pretty much how it's been covered for the past ten years.
