Snoooow!

[The Dark Pwner]

Theres Snow in St. Neots! Hell Yer!

It may be only a tiny amount, you can still see the grey road...but it's Snoooow!

[Coldfire]

Ooooooh, you bastard. It's like seventy freaking degrees here. Best we can hope for is a cool breeze.

Heh ... I'm from New England and this time last year I was constructing seven foot high snow ramps along the edges of my property so as to be able to push great amounts of snow over into my backyard with a push shovel.

A year later and I'm living near San Jose, CA and I'm in a place where it seems to be 60 - 70 degrees all year long, summer and winter both. I enjoyed snow and winter because I grew up doing things like skating, skiing, snowmobiling and snowshoeing but at the same time I sure don't miss the shoveling!

To quote a certain Canadian: "3 months of that white shit on the ground and you soon get bored of it".

The snow has reached Over here in Over. I am no fan of the white stuff but my little boy is excited !

just spent 1hr 20 min to drive a 8 mile rnd journey to pick the wife up fom a shoping trip, cars were being abandonned , its quite bad here

[Deception]

apparently oklahoma does not know what snow is :/

We got 2 inches settled in the last few hours in York, and still falling. Which is a bit of a shame because its 'Vapnartak', our wargames show tomorrow, and lots of traders slogged their way over, unpacked and everything, and a lot of organisation by the Wargames Soc volunteers, and I doubt there'll be much turnout tomorrow if it gets much heavier.

Fingers XXXed for a quick cessation and a sunny day tomorrow!

So after over 8hrs of solid snowing throughout the day, I was looking forward to waking up to a pure white blanket in the morning...

I just had a look outside, and it's all gone. 8hrs worth of snow washed away in the last 3hrs by rain. I am not happy.

my sis crashed her audi on the 62 rear wheel drive is shit in snow

[commandojimbob]

Audi's ????? Far as I know they are not rear wheel drive but yeah, want to laugh at a BMW driver, watch them in the snow

[sneggy]

I have 6" of snow.
Me and some kids from the neighbourhood have built an obscene snowman, I am happy.

Well, I was really worried that the snow was going to wash our our Wargames show at York Racecourse today, but despite 3" over yesterday evening, today was sunny (tho cold) and people ignored the ice warnings and turned out in force! Attendance was about 20% down on average over previous years, but we were fearing much worse, and the guys running the trade stands were on the whole happy with the trading.

If anyone was there - I was running a demo game called 'Viking Raid'. Mostly kids played it, but they all had a great time, loved some of the details (eg if your leader killed a Saxon you got a card with the way he took the guy out - very popular) so it was well worth it.

last we had snow was '72

In Arizona it's like: You want snow? Head up to the northern part of the state, and what do you know, SNOW! Stay where you are? No snow! Don't have to deal with it and you can get it when you want it.

rear wheel drive is shit in snow

I drove about fine last year in my RWD Skyline.. took some effort but it never got me stuck. This year I've a fwd drive and I bought some decent winter tyres a few months back. I was well impressed, hill starts on steep hills, barely no loss of traction at all. They're not always expensive either but are well worth their cost if you plan on using a car in the snow or if its icey. Cant put a price on safety!

how much were the winter tyres ?

[vikinboere]

Snow isn't my thing, especially not if i have to stand in it for hours and hours. I don't like it when my feet (and later the rest of my body) are frozen. It is however unavoidable here in afghanistan. So far it has been a "soft" winter, with temperatures only going as low as -19°C. First snow fell at the beginning of january here.

Weather report from yesterday:

It's snowing again tonight!
