Title: Winter Weather
Post by: Tatter on February 04, 2011, 05:57:43 AM
who's enjoying the late winter weather (sorry for those that got tornadoes instead of snow  :S )

i love the cold!

OMG its sleeting hardcore in satx! this will shut down the city, and its nowhere near warm enough to melt it, its also flurrying, if snow gets better it should stick, and we'll have our first real snowstorm since 1985

lol that was also the last snow i ever saw, though i don't remember it, cause i was 1, we had come down from colorado to escape the snow back then and it followed us

 XDOMG I love winter weather I live in the adirondacks in NY so I get a little more snow than most of the areas in NY lol. Some of the snow drifts are like taller than me. We get a lot of lake effect snow from Ontario. If you really like winter weather you should meet my Inuk relatives on Ellismeer island they've pretty much lived ice their whole lives.

oh wow, don't know if my body (which has lived in midsouth texas for all but 1 year of its life) could take that lol

this is a big deal for san antonio, is snowed, and stuck! its been just over 25 years since this has appened, yay, i finally get to see snow!

went out back and threw snowballs at my dogs who were like WTF?? what is this?

My brown lab tried to roll in it and wanted right back inside the warm house, little border collie didn't last long either (so much for irish blood), but big blond lab didn't wanna come in even after i wanted to go in cause i couldn't feel my hands lol, here's some pics, its about 1/2 inch thick around the cround, in some places its piled higher (couldn't call em snow drifts cause there's like no wind)

Oh that's nothing! Where I am right now, it gets down to -20 °c/-4 °f and I love it here. I took this very picture today as a matter of fact:

You haven't seen a real winter until your nose tingles with each breath and the loose snow reaches above your knees.

I live in the Midwest where the blizzard hit hard and in fact it was dubbed snowpocalypse here. It was bad enough for people to start scalping milk out in the parking lots. I however love the snow. It is about 6 inches or so here but in my hometown it is like 7 or 8 inches. We are also supposed to get hit by another storm here soon.

I refuse to believe the weather forecasters anymore.  Especially the local ones, because every single time since October they have predicted the weather, they have been wrong.  It hasn't snowed once, and I know I heard them say countless times things like, "We have a pretty good chance of heavy snowfall and ice" or something.  It hasn't done anything at all.  It's a big scam by the government to make people spend more money at the stores.

Just be glad you're not moving to Texas, runz, it gets to like 130 degrees here if you're standing directly in the sun all day....plus the humidity.

Man I could never live in Texas seems way too hot for me. If it gets above 60 degrees its too hot. Then again Texas is very beautiful. I just cant stand the heat.

This part of Texas is about the ugliest, blandest, most boring places on the face of the planet.  Everything is shades of brown, whether it be sand or dirt, the grass and trees, hell even people's houses are painted tan and brown in places.  There's almost nothing green here, and its 100% flat for as far as you can see in all directions.  Lame place.

I don't know how much we got in the last storm but it was a lot. Luckily my dad has a plow for his truck so I never have to worry about shoveling our driveway.
It's snowing again here right now. >_<
I love snow to a point but I'm reaching my breaking point.

oh man I know its hot in Texas I don't think I'd ever got there...but I don't think I'll be going anywhere anyways lol

you guys are all so lucky, i live in Fl and im so hot down here! I guess thats the wolf in me though, it was 23 degrees a couple weeks ago and i went out in a t shirt and shorts and my mom thought i was crazy :)
I remember when it was the coldest here a few days ago it was 32F I was outside taking pictures of the stars with shortz a T-Shirt and barefeet it was great. I also sat outside and took pictures when the moon eclipsed for three hourz while it was around 36F and getting colder by the hour.

At Puncia and Kaprika, those are some kewl hatz!.

Right now I'm in NYC and there are mountains of ice and snow everywhere. I'll never get used to this type of cold weather... I'm seriously considering hibernating for the winter cuz I can't stand the cold. Though I do love watching the snow fall while listen to Depeche Mode.

Come live here then lol.  No matter how much it snows, it always melts in a day or less.  No need for shoveling then.

It's the most fun to drive in, that's for sure....if you're a good driver that is.  I like how long you can hold a drift when it's snowy...seemingly endless.

I think snow is beautiful and I love the cold, clear nature of the air.  But I despise driving in these conditions, shovelling, etc.  So one could say that I like the weather in principle, but find it annoying in practical matters.

I love the snow a lot, but when it comes to driving its awful. My hot rod that I built cant get through it worth a crap and it fishtails a good 50 percent of the time. The snow recently killed my freind Gary as well... (Hard not to cry) but other than that snow is absolutely beautiful and fun as hewl to play in.

Sorry to hear about your friend.

Actually driving in the snow I'm fine with - it's actually pretty fun.  The problem is is that so much frozen snow (ice) has built up that the space on the roads has been cut in half - it's a tight fit.
