General Chat / It is snowing.

I wish it would snow here in Sydney. The nearest place where it snows is like 7 hours south of here. It's where I go skiing in winter. I miss the snow. Actually, wait I'm wrong, this winter there was like .0000001 inches of snow in the eastern suburbs of sydney, but that was considered freak weather. We had sleet a few months ago too for about 5mins. The snow in australia is a surreal place though, if you ever get the chance, come and see. It's like bush, and then randomly patches of snow appear and then theirs just like gum trees growing in the snow with kangaroo's running about. Weird stuff.

Connecticut isnt much better. here in Brooklyn its like 50' when i wake up then like 65' by 9:00.

Thursday its supposed to be 42' at the highest. Shit

We've gotten a flew flurries in Minnesota but no accumulation yet. I'd like to think we're still a month away from major snowfall but one of the biggest snowstorms in Minnesota history happened on Halloween back in the 90's (maybe 80's? God I'm getting old).

We got dumped on last night.

Where I live, it doesn't snow...it's just rains all the live long day.

We don't even get rain... Not even where I am currently in southern California (at my mom's place for the weekend)... Not a friggin cloud for hundreds of miles.

^then I say you're the one lucky guy... Where I'm living (Montreal, Quebec), it snows a day and it rains a day. That's the main factor of the crap ski conditions of last year...

Skiing was crap everywhere last year, even in Vermont. Given that this autumn has been very wet (and seasonable, not like last year's mild fall), I hold out hope for a better winter this year.

It snowed a couple of weeks ago in my area in Michigan.

A few years ago, we got about an inch in the morning, but it was gone by 11:00 and after that... nothin'

where ya from jelly?

Look left.

You're from John Goodman ? \oO/

LOL

he's from Burlington, Vermont

^^Of course he is.

The country at the south of Québec.

Hell just froze over here.
I'm still trying to figure out how I made it to work this morning in my Ford Focus.
I might be trapped here for awhile.
Wow.

I'd post some pictures if I had some, but all I have is this

The storm should spread over the area within a couple of hours of midnight. The first areas affected by this storm will be the mountains along and west of the Continental Divide and the eastern mountains and the Palmer Divide. It appears increasingly likely that this storm will produce widespread, heavy snowfall accumulations over parts of eastern Colorado, and anywhere snow can accumulate it will be blown all over the place through much of Thursday. Particularly over the open areas to the north, northeast and east of Colorado Springs, and the plains east of Trinidad visibility may be at or near zero at times during the first half of the day. These areas are notorious for hazardous/dangerous travel with storms like this, so residents of these areas should avoid travel if at all possible on Thursday. As of this morning, this storm is looking increasingly like the Blizzard of March 2003. That storm was warm enough to keep most of the heavy snow confined to the higher elevations of the I-25 corridor and the mountains. You might remember that snowfall amounts increaed from about 6" over dowtown Colorado Springs to between 2 and 3 feet over the mountains and the Palmer Divide. We are unsure of exactly what elevations the snow will cut off, but it is reasonable at this time to expect a huge drop-off in total snowfall accumulations for areas below about 5500 feet, with 5500 to 6500 feet being the transition zone between light snowfall totals and very heavy snowfall totals. Areas above 6500 feet will likely be measuring snowfall in terms of feet! These areas include the Palmer Divide, the eastern mountains and parts of the Raton Mesa...

That is all.
Pics forthcoming.
