calbiterol Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 Yeehaw, we've been granted a snow day here in the midwest. Actually, we currently are under "blizzard conditions" - 20-30 mph winds (sorry, can't concentrate enough to change that to klicks/hour right now, but I'd guess around 60km/h) and still heavy snow. And lemme tell you, it's gorgeous! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GutZ Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 It just started to snow in ottawa today, I was liking the odd climate, 0-10c was nice, but...I guess eventually the winter had to come...err I hate snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calbiterol Posted December 1, 2006 Author Share Posted December 1, 2006 Yeah, I might be lucky, but those poor ba$tards in the 16-car pileups (dead serious) on the highways sure aren't. It seems to have cleared up. We have drifts as tall as two or so feet. It's pretty awesome - except the roads, which are terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotcommodity Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 We had a snow day here in Texas of all places. It snowed about an inch, maybe 2 inches and they canceled classes for the entire day and night. The streets were pretty slick so I suppose it was with good reason.

Gilded Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 We had snow at one point, then it melted and now it's like +8 C. :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bascule Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 I live in Colorado. We don't have snow days, except for real blizzard conditions that are so bad the snowplows get stuck. Usually get one of those every 1-2 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And lemme tell you, it's gorgeous! Illinois resident here. College was cancelled. A few cars were caught in the snow. I awoke today thinking, "Man... how deep is that?" I typically don't see snow that deep. I was surprised when I learned lots of stuff was cancelled. I did my social duty and shoveled a little bit. It all seemed futile after a while. However, I'm still studying and typing up papers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calbiterol Posted December 1, 2006 Author Share Posted December 1, 2006 Yeah. I shoveled the front stoop, and by the time I'd shoveled the concrete walkway to the driveway, the stoop had another half-inch (centimetre) of snow on it. So I pretty much gave up. Haha. It has cleared up considerably now - just the odd snowflake or two. The wind has died down to the occasional gust. I'm looking right at a 2 foot (about 2/3 meter) drift through my window. Genecks - you aren't at UIUC, are you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woelen Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 And we have the warmest fall ever since temperatures are measured. Average temperature (over days and night) was 13.6 C over the months of September, October and November . Last weekend we had 17 C, which never happened before in the last week of November, as long as measurements are done over here (for appr. 300 years). Still it is quite warm for the time of year, with temperatures between 10 C and 15 C, while normally start of December has 6 or 7 C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackhole123 Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 While I really want more snow days, I've already had a whole week off and if we miss any more they are going to start taking vacations away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
