We got a lock of fucking snow last night.  Maybe two feet.  You boys further east better brace.

The rain/snow line moved north. Yay!

We're supposed to get about a foot of snow starting overnight and into tomorrow.

Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".

We got 2 cm last night! :w00t:

We got nothing.  I was mocking the boys up in Chicago this morning.

Snow day here in eastern Mass, and working from home. It's been snowing hard for a while and the stuff is really building up now.

I remember about a decade ago or so when we used to get snow.

After our freezing rain, really starting to come down again - though it is just super light powder so don't think should amount to much.

OMG we had all of 1.5 inches of snow overnight, which lingered into today.  :)

We got at least a foot of snow yesterday and it looked like more as it was nearly as tall as my snow blower scoop of twenty inches. That's on top of the two to three feet that towns in the area got last week. So for me this new stuff makes it at least three feet and looks like more, or over a meter of snow.

That's proper snow.  :cool:

If that happens in this country its only ever in some bit of Highland Scotland or on the Pennines between Lancashire and Yorkshire, which is then reported by the media as if it were snow apocalypse with literally 'dozens' of motorists were trapped in their cars for several hours!

You'd think by the way people are hunkering up against the northerly winds and wearing giant puffer coats that this was the Arctic, no folks it's central Southern England, it's been between 3-6C today and the winds only a 20 mph northerly, your face or extremities will not freeze off.

Over all a general English fail, man-up a 'verb' not likely to ever be used again in Southern England.  <_<

I guess it really does depend on what you are used to - right now, Torontonians would be walking around in shorts if it was suddenly 6 C.  :lol:
