zegh8578 Posted December 10, 2011 Author Share Posted December 10, 2011 No snow, just fricking cold :( I'm actually surprised it hasn't snowed at all yet. We normally get a few inches before Christmas...so maybe no White Christmas this year :( dont give up!one thing ive learned about snow: once it decides to fall, it can slam half a metre down upon a city in a single night :] lol true, especially here. Last year was horrible, every other week we got a foot of snow. Maybe we might get lucky this year and not get as much. I love snow but I sure do hate it when there's a few feet on the ground and the city I live in always "runs out of salt" before winter ends. :rolleyes: two years back it snowed almost a metre in a night, i opened the door, and had to wade up to my waist in snowi could only laugh at the absurdity of it :D my metric is pretty bad (I really don't understand why the U.S.DOESN'T teach it)....a metre is about 3 feet? Where are you located? 3 feet is pretty normal in winter here. Average snowfall for our state is quite a few metres then :P I remember one night we had if I'm right about the metre calculations, we got 3-4 metres in one night! Crazy blizzard...the whole city was a ghost town. All you would hear is snow plows and people shoveling lol... im in norway, but near the coast. the snow depth varies considerably just from a half an hour drive1 metre (yes, about 3 feet) will be about the maximum for the warmer coastal city-spots, what you describe is typical for higher up in the mountains, where people will typically have to locate their vacation cabins deep under the snow, dig their way down, light a fire in the fireplace, and let the hut itself melt the snow around, as it warms up :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor. Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 (edited) Its going to be a White Christmas here in OntarioOntario has scary winter weather. Bermuda is calling . . . Well you get used to it, unlike last year we had a snowmageddon that dropped well over 70cm or more over a couple of days, it was insane. Hopefully we won't have one this year, crosses fingers.

Pushkatu Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 We used to have snow here, year after year, from late October to March, well not anymore. Starting 4-5 year ago, snow is a rarity. Damn global warming... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn global warming... there is that... the fervent nay-sayers will be nay-saying untill the whole planet has turned into a desert"its not climate change... its... a natural cycle >:I" (i also wonder why this natural cycle is normal only within a limited and selective time window. obviously, any epock that is not within the ice-age-cycles, such as... say... the mesozoic, is obviously irrelevant :D) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy blizzard...the whole city was a ghost town. All you would hear is snow plows and people shoveling lol... I disagree. I still don't quite understand why metric was introduced (apart from reducing the many different variations on the units, heh). Feet can easily be envisioned / estimated. Metres, not so easy. ;) Whichever system it is though, I just wish we all used the same one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vindekarr Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Yesterday was so hot that I had to pull all the sheets off my bed just to avoid melting. Today was so cold I had to wear a longcoat and scarf. I love Melbourne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
