Yes here in Sheffield its snowing. I have never seen snow in November in england before. It won't settle but even so......

― Ed, Thursday, 8 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Looks like I've picked the right weekend to go up to Chesterfield then! Mind you it always snows in Sheffield, it'll be horrible grey slush by tomorrow if my experiences run true Ed.

Mind you, hopefully I can go sledging at Chatsworth on Saturday morning then, Jackass antics ahoy.

― chris, Thursday, 8 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

If I wanted snow, I'd have stayed in fucking Canada, where if you want snow, you got snow. Good for watching car accidents, but little else.

― dave q, Thursday, 8 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

sorry no stick in this snow. can't see accross the valley though

― Ed, Thursday, 8 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

It's not snowed yet in this part of Canada. Neener neener.

― Kim, Thursday, 8 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

snow is:
outside momentarily, they are disorientated in a flurry = body not found till next spring

kim it is very early for you to be up?!

― mark s, Thursday, 8 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Not so early. 7:00am. I've been up for a while though since I went to bed at around eight last night feeling extremely wiped out and flu ridden. Ought to be hopping in the shower now since I actually plan to go in to work today. So I guess I'll have to catch up with you crazy kids later.

― Kim, Thursday, 8 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

It was snowing in Wakefield when I passed through. Here in Manchester it's clear blue skies and freezing (though that may just be lack of sleep).

― Graham, Thursday, 8 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

The high today in Dallas should be 78-80 farenheit.

― Samantha, Thursday, 8 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

It seems very cold here in Glasgow today, but for once the sky is blue and there are no clouds. Hence no snow. It will come soon probably.

― Ally C, Thursday, 8 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Southern California November = vague fog with vague temperatures, vaguely warm. Snow is over on the mountains eventually but not here. This is manifestly a good and wonderful thing.

― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 8 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I can trounce Ed here: I've seen snow in November in the *south* of England (1993, I think). It turned to slush within a few hours, though, as it usually does in Kent.

Most recent snow in my current location (Portland, Dorset): the night of 3rd-4th March this year, a weekend I'll never forget, but for all the wrong reasons.

― Robin Carmody, Thursday, 8 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

In 1991, a large chunk of Minnesota got four feet of snow on Halloween.

― Dan Perry, Thursday, 8 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I wish it'd snow for months! As soon as I am rich enough, I'm leaving this stinky city!

― james, Thursday, 8 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Seattle gets around a few days of snow a year at most... just enough to be a novelty, quick enough to not be a big fucking pain in the ass. Mt. Rainier has snow all year round though, and the Olympic Mtns. to the west has been occasionally flaunting its new pack on the clearer days here. I love it.

― Brian MacDonald, Thursday, 8 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

oh haha my central heating just packed up so it is all but snowing in this room: i R eating baileys haagen dazs cuz the guy misheard pralines, my back-ache is giving me maximum gyp, and all is not right with the world

― mark s, Thursday, 8 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Dave Q: isn't snow also good for putting down wimpy girls necks and reminding you what the world would look covered in methedrine?

I lived in a town where it snowed for the first time this year. It only snowed twice and the first time when it started I was like 'hey what's all this pollen.'

― maryann, Thursday, 8 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

ok my heating is working again sorta and i am abed to my GRATE duvet but it is still FREAKILY COLD: is that snow or small pale birds tumbling from the sky struck dead by the temp.drop?

i notice the horrible aphids on my lentern rose are strangely unbothered

― mark s, Thursday, 8 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

It snowed last night in LONDON! For about five minutes! At three in the morning!

― jamesmichaelward, Friday, 9 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I'm freezing today. I realised that I need a new winter coat (like other ILxers)...I musta grown since last year! Weird!

― james, Friday, 9 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Driving home from Chelmsford in the early hours of this morning in heavy snow was like being in Space Odyssey:2001 during the trippy warp scene that seems to go on forever. You had to be there I suppose.

― Trevor, Friday, 9 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

It snowed on Oxford yesterday! Admittedly only for about 15 minutes and it didn't stick but it was genuine snow. Today it is merely bloody freezing.

― liz, Friday, 9 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Dan, I remember the Halloween snowstorm, I nearly got snowed in after working as an inventory helper at Northern Lights for the day. It was terrifying but FANTASTIC. I was moving back to Britain in a week's time and my boyfriend at the time rang from London asking if I could get him the Camille Paglia book as was not out in the UK yet. Me: "Tch, no..." Him: "Why? It's just a book..." Me: "It's not that, I just can't leave the house." Him: "Well why not?" Me: "Because there's three feet of snow outside. My mom says we might have to eat the dog if we can't get to Byerly's in the next two days." Him: ".!."

The winter before there was a massive snowstorm of eight whole inches in London. I was the biggest weather smartarse because everyone was saying how snowed in they were and I told everyone they were a bunch of wusses. But now at least 50 people know how to do snow angels who didn't before.

Ho-ho, it snowed, like pretty seriously, for the whole day yesterday here. In Tartu, 'stonia.

― t\'\'t (t\'\'t), Wednesday, 24 November 2004 19:17 (twenty-one years ago)

Except for the westest of the west coast, and the southest of the south west and south east, is snow a surprise to anyone in the U.S.?

― donut christ (donut), Wednesday, 24 November 2004 19:19 (twenty-one years ago)

have you never seen snow leee?

― teeny (teeny), Wednesday, 24 November 2004 19:19 (twenty-one years ago)

dc, it's like flowers blooming and puppies, you don't get jaded about the first snow.

― teeny (teeny), Wednesday, 24 November 2004 19:19 (twenty-one years ago)

(Aside from people who just moved from the aforementioned non-swory portions recently?)

― donut christ (donut), Wednesday, 24 November 2004 19:19 (twenty-one years ago)

haha, "non-swory".

Has it ever swored where you were before. How much sworing did you get?

― donut christ (donut), Wednesday, 24 November 2004 19:20 (twenty-one years ago)

Leee, why is it snowing in southside but not up here in northside?

― n/a (Nick A.), Wednesday, 24 November 2004 19:20 (twenty-one years ago)

kansas city is supposed to get six inches of snow!

― teeny (teeny), Wednesday, 24 November 2004 19:21 (twenty-one years ago)

It's coming, nick. Just wait till you leave work.

― Pears can just fuck right off. (kenan), Wednesday, 24 November 2004 19:21 (twenty-one years ago)

It's actually a mixture of white flaky stuff which I suppose might just be God's dandruff and rain. Which is a Cali boy's definition of snow. Which is all that the Bay Area has received in my 20+ years of living there.

And to answer teeny, kind of! I've been in the Sierras and the Tahoe area for teh skiing. But never in a place I was living.

― Leeeter van den Hoogenband (Leee), Wednesday, 24 November 2004 19:24 (twenty-one years ago)

Slight improvement: it's now slushing. I went out for a smoke, and my jacket got all covered in slush.

― Pears can just fuck right off. (kenan), Wednesday, 24 November 2004 19:31 (twenty-one years ago)

I hate snow. At least I hated snow in NC, every city was ill prepared for it, and everything shut down. I'm actually looking forward to snow in Chicago.

― Jeff-PTTL (Jeff), Wednesday, 24 November 2004 19:34 (twenty-one years ago)

It snowed here in Western mass. a few weeks ago (or a couple?), which took us all by surprise. it was really lovely, and then it all melted and we returned to a very mild autumn, which suited me just fine.
Just a pretty glimpse of things to come...talk to me in Feb., cuz I don't love winter so much after the initial five weeks.

― aimurchie, Wednesday, 24 November 2004 19:34 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm still waiting to see so much snow that Chicago shuts down. It'll take about 15 inches, I'm guessing.

― Pears can just fuck right off. (kenan), Wednesday, 24 November 2004 19:36 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah, Jeff-PTTL OTM, when we lived in Richmond if it snowed a couple of inches people wouldn't come in to work, schools would close, chaos reigned. Soon after we moved here there was like a foot of snow on the ground and Sarah was a little late for work because of it and they got annoyed with her. CULTURE SHLOCK!

― n/a (Nick A.), Wednesday, 24 November 2004 19:44 (twenty-one years ago)

This picture is from last week, taken in Leicester, the day after I said "I hope it snows so I can take pictures". Was a bit dark by the time it was all really snowy, mind.

― Suedey (John Cei Douglas), Wednesday, 24 November 2004 19:45 (twenty-one years ago)

ooops. I guess I don't know how to do pictures here.

― Suedey (John Cei Douglas), Wednesday, 24 November 2004 19:46 (twenty-one years ago)

It's just raining right now, but it's supposed to start snowing any minute now. I wish they would just send us home already...

― Leon the Fratboy (Ex Leon), Wednesday, 24 November 2004 19:47 (twenty-one years ago)

Hey, I see flakes now. It's either snowing or sleeting, I think it's snow.

― n/a (Nick A.), Wednesday, 24 November 2004 19:51 (twenty-one years ago)

it's spreading ... the first proper snow in Toronto started about an hour ago.

― MindInRewind (Barry Bruner), Wednesday, 24 November 2004 19:52 (twenty-one years ago)

yeah, it is. It's hard to tell, though, since it's being pushed along by that godawful 38mph wind. I am so coming home in a cab.

d00derz, SAN DIEGO, CA had snow this week!

― Leeeter van den Hoogenband (Leee), Wednesday, 24 November 2004 19:53 (twenty-one years ago)

Someone from the NW burbs just reported on my blog that it's actually sticking there. Kinda cool.

― Pears can just fuck right off. (kenan), Wednesday, 24 November 2004 19:58 (twenty-one years ago)

ok I just walked two blocks and back to get a sandwich (damn you subway thread!) and I'm tired of the snow now.

It makes a lovely tinkling sound when it splashes against the sidewalks.

If you Chicagoans send Indiana your snow, I'm gonna have Artest kick your ass. Let Lee enjoy it! Keep it there!

― Tep (ktepi), Wednesday, 24 November 2004 20:35 (twenty-one years ago)

according to this map, Chicago should be a winter wonderland right now. Instead it just kinda wet and shit.

i have lived in edmonton for years, and it always snowed before 10/31--toronto is just now getting snow.

― anthony, Wednesday, 24 November 2004 21:06 (twenty-one years ago)

WOW there are big flakes now.

― n/a (Nick A.), Wednesday, 24 November 2004 21:07 (twenty-one years ago)

It's snowing HARD and really windy. Some is sticking to the ground, but on the streets, the friction from tires is turning it to slush. Definitely not looking forward to the drive home.

― oops (Oops), Wednesday, 24 November 2004 21:11 (twenty-one years ago)

it snows in St. Louis? Teeny is that where you live? with the scary fucking arch? ::shudder::

It's cold here, about 47F, but sunny as a July day.

― Miss Misery (thatgirl), Wednesday, 24 November 2004 21:13 (twenty-one years ago)

yeah, it's kinda pretty against the big old ornate school across the street.

― Pears can just fuck right off. (kenan), Wednesday, 24 November 2004 21:20 (twenty-one years ago)

The first snow of the year always catches me unprepared. No gloves, no brush, no sled, no pee in my bladder.

― oops (Oops), Wednesday, 24 November 2004 21:22 (twenty-one years ago)

It's gotten really pretty now. Starting to collect on cars and such. If it keeps up, we may have an inch of it by late tonight. Gotta grab the camera!

― Pears can just fuck right off. (kenan), Wednesday, 24 November 2004 22:50 (twenty-one years ago)

My jeans got soaked. It's soggy snow. Won't be like that once it gets colder.

It never snows in Melbourne :( One of the few things I miss about Canberra - we usually got snow at least one day a year! NOthing much tho just a spatter that'd melted by lunchtime.

― Trayce (trayce), Thursday, 25 November 2004 03:28 (twenty-one years ago)

I hope it snows at some point. Last year, when three inches of snow shut the city down, was fun. The first winter that I went without snow I was very sad.

It was supposed to be clear in Chicago by this hour, but guess what? Snow. Real snow this time, not that stinging stormy slush from this afternoon. The streets are covered. The rooftops are lurvely. I have some tea, watching it snow. Whoever wished for a white Thanksgiving?

That's about how much we've got. It snowed when it was above freezing and kept going until the evening when it went below freezing, so there's a layer of ice covered with snow now. Very treacherous and annoying. It might warm up enough again to melt it but knowing our luck it won't. On the bright side it's cold enough (currently -11°C or 12°F) to where it's not at all mucky.

― Bryan (Bryan), Thursday, 25 November 2004 05:27 (twenty-one years ago)

I was not ready for snow with the simple brown shoes I wear for most of the year. On my walk home from the el tonight (which I'm also not quite ready for), I trudged through slush, and when I got into my car to drive out to the suburbs, I realized my right sock was wet and cold and making my toes all chilly and numb. So I cranked up the heat on the floor, slipped my shoe off, and drove like that most of the way. I made sure to pack my soft boots, though.

My neighborhood was beautiful on my walk to work this morning. Walking through the snow was kind of fun until I hit a slushy puddle hidden by the snow a few times and my left foot got soaked. I'm sitting at my desk at work with my shoes off.

my snow all melted.

Hailstones here at the moment. We're supposed to be playing a gig tonight. Hm.

I really shouldn't post on this thread and yet I have to convey my gladness that's it's only rain around here.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Saturday, 8 January 2005 17:06 (twenty-one years ago)

snow is wonderful

There's a slight film of snow here in Seattle. I want to walk outside before it melts away in hours.

The word we've heard is that Seattle and LA have had the same amount of rainfall this winter season. And I believe it!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 9 January 2005 23:11 (twenty-one years ago)

The streets are flooded like I haven't seen in quite some time.

― American Apparel and Jeanne-Claude (deangulberry), Sunday, 9 January 2005 23:12 (twenty-one years ago)

really? honestly, I think L.A. has had three winters of Seattle rainful by now.

― donut christ (donut), Sunday, 9 January 2005 23:53 (twenty-one years ago)

Been raining like heck off and on all day here at least. Loving it myself!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 9 January 2005 23:59 (twenty-one years ago)

This is so far the sunniest Seattle winter I remember. It's also the coldest one, too.

― donut christ (donut), Monday, 10 January 2005 00:05 (twenty-one years ago)

Looks like officially we've had 10 and a half inches of rain since October, and that's not counting any rain fallen since the 4th. I have half a hunch we'll have broken at least 12 inches if not noticeably more with this current storm.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 10 January 2005 00:07 (twenty-one years ago)

Here, it looks like we got the same amount of rain this winter than L.A. after all, although note how many rain/snow days this all got distributed over. I'm sure the number of actual rain days in L.A. is FAR, far less, making these storms that much more intense.

― donut christ (donut), Monday, 10 January 2005 00:21 (twenty-one years ago)

(and again, this doesn't account for January 2005 so far... most of our rainfall has been in the late fall.. once winter hit, things got sunny and icey here... usually the rain starts later here, and we don't get this sunny arctic blast for nearly as long)

― donut christ (donut), Monday, 10 January 2005 00:23 (twenty-one years ago)

Although, for weirdness sake, Vancouver B.C. got a little more than a trace of snow too, but Bellingham, WA? Sequim, WA? The Olympic Mtns? (Northwest WA state, in general)... 10 inches of snow, and windchill of 6F/-14C!!

― donut christ (donut), Monday, 10 January 2005 00:25 (twenty-one years ago)

Not snowing quite yet, but it's going to start right after dark and not stop until Sunday night. The chance of snow is 100% for most of that time. We're looking at 5-10 inches tonight alone.

The only reason any Chicagoan should leave their house this weekend is to go see The Fake Fictions at the Ice Factory, 516 N. Ashland, at 9pm.

And to play in the snow, duh! Snow is great fun while it's falling from the sky, it doesn't suck until it's not actively snowing anymore but there's like a foot of it piled everywhere.

― n/a (Nick A.), Friday, 21 January 2005 22:39 (twenty-one years ago)

Potential blizzard on the way to Philly. By mid-day tomorrow it will impossible to find a loaf of bread for sale anywhere in this city.

I am so not looking forward to driving in this.

― tokyo rosemary (rosemary), Saturday, 22 January 2005 06:40 (twenty-one years ago)

Ah yes. I made the classic bread/milk/toilet paper run in anticipation of the snow here in Washington.

― j.lu (j.lu), Saturday, 22 January 2005 06:42 (twenty-one years ago)

I noticed the gas prices went up 6 cents a gallon overnight. Lovely!

― tokyo rosemary (rosemary), Saturday, 22 January 2005 06:48 (twenty-one years ago)

You know what? Walking in 6-7 inches of snow is hard.

― Pears can just fuck right off. (kenan), Saturday, 22 January 2005 07:52 (twenty-one years ago)

Do I always have to be the one to revive this thread?

By some strange occurrence of wind patterns, Chicago is getting lake effect snow. Only Chicago, too... I don't think it's snowing anywhere else in the US. It wasn't forecasted, and it doesn't seem to be letting up.

Hm. Surprise snow: c/d?

― Pears can just fuck right off. (kenan), Thursday, 27 January 2005 03:55 (twenty-one years ago)

totally classic.

and also, there is no bigger disappointment to me than when snow is forecast and it doesn't come. i miss snow. i love snow.

WTF?????????????

The weather report says it will snow for the rest of the day, too.

I really need to check the NYC weather reports.

Back here, snow in March is nothing out of the ordinary. I remember one year it snowed on May Day.

I want spring weather to arrive so badly but it's just not happening. Considering the city I live in is overcast over 200 days a year I'm not holding my breath.

I shouldn't be so surprised. Winter appears to be over and then we get hit with one last storm in the second half of March. This happens every year.

There's some serious whiteout action happening out there. The worst part of it is that I was going to head out for some food. Now I'll have to stay in and work or something.

― MindInRewind (Barry Bruner), Wednesday, 23 March 2005 21:45 (twenty-one years ago)

We haven't had a proper dusting in Tallahassee in twelve years...save for fifteen minutes of small flurries mixed with sleet in 2002 and small flurries that melted at eye level earlier this year. I'm sure it's a dreamy circumstance for many of you, but I've never even seen an icicle before, and the temperature dips below freezing point at least fifteen times per winter here! It's not like the opportunity for snow and icicles proves completely unreal in consequence (and I get up early enough everyday to see both if such meteorological conditions were to present themselves), but whenever it gets that cold here, it's always goddamned clear and dry. I want citywide paralysis, damnit!

It's not snowing in New York it's fucking hailing.

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Thursday, 24 March 2005 00:22 (twenty-one years ago)

Another four to eight inches! My body can't handle it, Mother Nature!
But hey, it's New England. I am left to wonder why the Puritans didn't immediately flee BACK to religious persecution, given the weather here. But they stayed, and some of them are my ancestors.
I'm glad i don't have to light a fire for warmth, or any of the other things they did. Like worry about their food freezing in late March.
At least it will melt quickly.
