I was just thinking about no matter how many times I see snow, I'm still endless fascinated by it.

for christs sake, it's been cold, oh so cold here, and we've certainly had enough precipitation. why can't some of it be snow? and i don't mean those few miserable flakes i saw while walking through kings cross yesterday.
yesterday, suzy and i were talking about snow angels and getting all nostalgic for snowpants and stuff. i mean, who in their right mind gets nostalgic for snow pants unless they're in extreme snow withdrawl?

My bf called me up and was like, "Hey! It's snowing - you should head home."
3 minute later, another call from him:"Never mind. Stopped already. (sigh)"

Weird how Acton, Shep Bush and Ladbroke Grove all got snowed on, and yet Hammersmith (which is where I work) is completely snow-free. Must be something to do with the one-way system or the Talgarth flyover.

I'm hoping that it will have had a couple of inches by the time I get back. Where I work (near Croydon) it's actually got to that crunchy stage.

Thanks. I literally don't even know what a blizzard means. Is it just a whole bunch of snow, or are there other things involved? If I step out, I don't want to end up like Warren Beatty in McCabe & Mrs. Miller. (Of course, the bullet he took didn't help there.)

Got all the way to the end of the driveway and turned back. I now know that a blizzard involves a very tangible wind component.
― clemenza, Saturday, 4 March 2023 00:48 (one year ago) link
And thunder. And lightning.

Got to have strong winds and poor visibility, but especially strong wind.

We definitely met all those conditions, and it was sustained for 4-5 hours. Amazingly, power/cable never went it out--it generally does for much less.

The guy plowing my side-street (10 houses, 45 degree incline) got stuck halfway and had to go back for a different vehicle. I could hear Robert Shaw chiding him: "You're going to need a bigger plow."

Lowest winter snowfall totals in NYC since record keeping began: 2.3 inches, breaking the previous record of 2.8 inches in 1972-73 (Central Park totals).
Today marks one full year since NYC got as much as 1.5 inches of snow in one day. This appears to be rare.

Get used to it. We had zero snow in DC this year, which is very rare (but will be increasingly common until snow is a distant memory). The first five months of 2023 have been the warmest ever in DC history, akin to Memphis, TN.

We got nearly 10 inches yesterday, biggest single snowfall in Knoxville in 28 years. It has basically just shut down everything for the week, which is fine by me. It's very pretty.

random stuff i saw teenagers sledding in or on today:
-the drawer of a filing cabinet (didn't work)
-a kitty litter box (not bad, but looked impossible to steer)
-a flattened cardboard box (fell apart the instant it hit the snow)
― Deflatormouse, Wednesday, 17 January 2024 02:14 (four months ago) link
Back in my day, they made cardboard boxes sturdy enough to sled on!
