OT: WHAT'S IT DOING OUTSIDE??

[Divemistress of the Dark]

Sigh. I miss snow. What was it, '95 that D.C. got that big one? I remember walking to work down a nearly empty Connecticut Avenue. Through three foot drifts! (Hey, I had a fancy government job where we were expected to be there unless we were attending a funeral - our own.)

I miss it. It's about 40 here, been raining off and on all day. My mom said they used to nearly always have a white Christmas here, but we haven't had one since I moved to Nashville in 2001.

It's 4:30 AM in Williamsburg and it snowed until around midnight; we got 2-3 inches before it changed over to rain. It's still very pretty, but going to be a big mess soon. I can see cars traveling the main road a block away. It's supposed to turn back to snow later this afternoon (the dreaded Thundersnow.. Yes, Virginia-- er, Susan-- there is a thundersnow.)

I have the local news on TV right now, the weatherman can barely contain himself. My dad would always say they love a snowstorm because they get to be on TV more.

Here (in Italy, in Turin) it's snowing!

Ah, yes, the weather in Turin. I remember it well.


Hey, Davide, build a drum kit out of snow!!



London hardly ever gets snow do they, Smudge?

Well, I actually can't because the snow is 5 cm thin (I meant, 2 inches! )

That was January 28, 2006. The only reason I remember the date was because it snowed on my birthday.

Plus, their ratings are rising higher as the snow accumulates.

Wow. I don't know about you other DC residents but I just returned from outside and the snow is still coming down heavily. By my very unprofessional estimates I'd say we already have a little over a foot on the ground. Kids are in heaven though. Not sure how they aren't freezing to death as they've been out there since 8:30 a.m.

Another DC area nutter checking in.

Lots of snow and more coming.

I had lots of things I wanted to do today but will just stay home with baby today. This Sam's first snow storm, although he will be staying inside through it.

Friggin' snow everywhere I look. Lots of it! All the weather people have pulled all the old records and are giddily telling us they've all been broken for the month of December.
They're saying it's supposed to continue until tomorrow morning. But, I'm proceeding with my plans as usual.
What can you do? I did get some travel insurance, though.

Stay safe and warm Nutters!

Vancouver
Sun is sort of shinning, a balmy 7°c (45°f)
Hoping this weather holds for our winter golf tournament tomorrow
Man, I love winter on the west coast

Well, it's official...my flight to Newark (for my connection to SD) has been canceled.
BUT, I was able to grab one of the last seats on a Southwest flight going out Monday afternoon.
So, I can relax a bit.
Looks like I'll be utilizing that travel insurance!!

[conroy]

They've also cancelled the Chicago Bears into BWI today for tomorrow's game with the Baltimore Ravens. Now they're trying to figure out if they can reschedule it for Monday night, which happens to also be the same night the Washington Redskins are playing the NY Giants.

64 degrees and cloudy...

An affluent suburb.

Here in Argentina is Summer.
30º C.
Some rain today but hot.

[shyvixen]

In Denver, Colorado it is 48 degrees Fahrenheit and sunny. It's supposed to get up to 60 degrees tomorrow. But there's a chance it'll snow on Christmas. I hope so!

Waaaaaaah! from Williamsburg. Not enough to keep the gym closed, but enough that I couldn't ride my bike this morning. 37 degrees and sunny (perhaps I should say "and melting".) I hope all nutters are safe.
