Jesus.
It's just comparatively barely below 0 here.

[Fox 6]

Neat

Also, what building is that?

Also Typh means Celsius for all you americans. Just thought id state that.

[Angrist]

Cool. We had some frost 2 months ago, but none since. :(

I believe it's the Madison Capitol building. It certainly sticks out in that town.

[Combine 017]

I cant wait for the snow.
We're supposed to get around a foot by monday.

[Fox 6]

So stoked. Right as my exams are ending, couldnt have been more perfect hahahaha


Also: I just hit 4,000 posts!

[thatmariolover]

Yeah we got hit hard here as well. Burr.

[ZebraRampage]

The fourth picture is really beautiful. It's snowing here, but hardly enough to give us more than an inch. I've missed winter.

[KillerGremlin]

In typical Chicago fashion the weather has yo-yoed: first it was sleeting, that turned over to gorgeous snow (with these HUGE, fairy-tale like snow flakes), then it snowed....then it rained and the rain melted the snow, then it got cold as fuck and snowed again. So yeah it's like 8 degrees out with a -10 windchill (Fahrenheit), and maybe half an inch of snow cover.

I envy your snow. Stupid sleet and rain ruining a good thing.

It's gotten pretty darn chilly here in LA, almost to 40 degrees the other night! :crazy:

Still didn't keep the college crowd from celebrating the middle of finals with the quarterly Undie Run though. Here's a pic I snapped from a nearby Frat house, and as you can notice, the cops came out in droves to make sure no illegal activity (see jaywalking) occured, aka used any violation as an excuse to cite students. The administration made the undie run against school policy last year.

Thats not even the freezing point in fahrenheit is it?
Todays high was 0º celsius and going down to -9 tonight.
The pond in my front yard is completely frozen. :p

32 is 0.

40 is like 4 degrees.

Man im glad we missed this, just got rain and about an inch of snow once It got cold enough.

[Jonbo298]

We got socked pretty good for Central Iowa (Des Moines). City basically shut down Wednesday (even Wells Fargo my employer closed all offices/branches in central ia :lolz: ) Though the drive home Tuesday evening was beyond horrible but I loved it.

Pictures too "numerous" to list here so I'll just link the album on my Facebook. http://www.facebook.com/p.php?i=725533091&k=341YZ4WRTT6G6BD1TA56YTQ2Z6BAY4ZMRRAP&oid=1296504775946

Well, it's time for "Effing blizzard dude" round 2, this time in the North East/Mid Atlantic.

We're supposed to get 12-20 inches of snow today with winds from 20-50 MPH winds. And I don't think we're even getting the most snow around here. Pretty crazy for a December storm in this area. Anyway, Saturday snow day, though our recording session is canceled, so kind of a bummer.

UPDATE: Looks like the weather folks have been right so far. Snow is coming down heavily and steadily. I haven't been outside yet, but my car is absolutely buried to the point of my antenna being completely covered. I think we'll get close to 2 feet of snow. I hope some of it sticks around for Christmas.

[Typhoid]

This thread makes me love Vancouver so much more.

[Teuthida]

First snow of the year today. Pretty light so far.

[ZebraRampage]

There's been about 5 inches in Pittsburgh. I'll be going home tomorrow though, so I get to experience that 12-20 inches of snow. :) I can't wait!

[Angrist]

Impression of the snow lying in front of my home:

I made an awesome bicycle trip, in which I needed all my imba cycling skills. I loooooooooooooooooove snow.

[The Germanator]

It just took me about 30 minutes to dig out my car. It was a lot of freaking snow. I love it, but it does make some things a pain in the balls.

Official snow count in Philly was 23.6 inches. Pretty, pretty snowy.

[Teuthida]

The snow...it won't stop. I shoveled everything twice since I woke up...and now there's even more. Feel like the Sisyphus of snow shoveling.

[Combine 017]

Its still winter? With the weather we've been having I thought winter was over.

[Angrist]

I heard of incredible snowfall on the... east coast. Washington etc. No wait, that's west coast?

It's snowing here too, but hardly that much. Maybe a cm or 2. :)

Washington DC is east coast, Washington state is west coast.

[Professor S]

It's the most snowfall in Philly since 1996. This snow is a bear too. Wet and heavy. And we might get another hit on Monday.

Waaaaaaaaaah?? That's crazy. I had to look up Gmaps to see you weren't lying.

Talking about Gmaps, fun with Streetview:

Sweet. :D

I wonder how many Americans would have the same reaction when told that.

The thing I heard on the news said it's the most snowfall we've gotten since 1870 (or since they started keeping records?)! Most on the record books. 71" so far. A normal winter gets 19" in Philly.

And yes, it just took me 25 minutes to get in my parking spot. I'm getting very tired of it despite the unique beauty of the snow storm.

So, that's a lot of pictures, but it gives you a perspective of the snow storms in the Philadelphia area.

[Typhoid]

I wish it snowed like that here.:(

That lane is going to get SO slippery when the melting snow freezes again.

But not as slippery as this. http://s59.photobucket.com/albums/g294/Nycgal712/?action=view&current=portland-route-glissante.flv I'm watching it for the 4the time, amazing.
