I'm off to En France in a few days to see family for Christmas. It's already deep with snow there so i'll post some shots when i'm back. 
Yay, no snow here so far, it's still around 20c till the afternoon then it drops down to 10c in the evening.
Fourth day of snow here. Had about 10-15 cm. Which isn't bad for these parts. Usually we get a lot less, and it only lasts a day. So, this is exceptional.
Coldest part of the country was somewhere in the south-east, at night freezing -18 °c. Same as last year. Around here we had a mere -5°c. Day temperature -1/2

My car is still stuck. It got halfway down the driveway this morning even after I did the shoveling last night and it's not going anywhere today. I've tried for about an hour. :c
I had to call out of work because even if I did manage to get the car off my driveway, the streets are sitting in about 2 feet of snow and I don't feel like getting my car stuck in the middle of the street.
... and I don't fold it in half for anybody!
well, it actually snowed here about 3 weeks ago. didn't take any pics...
That reminds me of the time last year when the roads in the neighborhood I was in were still covered in ice and I couldn't get my car to move. If I could have gotten out of the 'hood it would've been completely fine but I couldn't get my car from out in front of my house. That was the day a local brewery invited us all to sample their beers so I was the only one who didn't get to go. :[
With this storm I think central VA didn't even get half of what some other areas got. The Appalachian mountains usually dulls most of our snowfall. My roommate said his parents out in Roanoke or maybe Charlottesville got two feet whereas we got less than half that. D:
The sad thing is I probably can't even call out of work because I live seven blocks away from the office. One of my bosses lives south of the city, though, so maybe he'll have troubles getting in on Monday and we'll all get a free pass.

pfft. It barely snowed here in Cleburne. I took a picture and it just looked like it was frosted, not much else.
It's a nice 50f outside right now.
There was a weather-alert because of the snow today ...
I guess people have forgotten what a real winter used to be like last century, so now everyone panics at the sight of a mere 10 centimeter of snow.
And apparently the trains for the channel-tunnel got stuck because of the cold weather ... I mean seriously, who designed that thing ?
It's almost like the concepts of winter, cold, ice and snow have been forgotten completely.

We got our own Wikipedia page. Hooray.

It says the maximum snowage was 32" and it caused five deaths. D:

Thaw has set in yesterday. Unfortunately it gets colder when the evening draws near, so then the remains start to freeze. Damn dangerous outside.
So, that's five days of snow. Usually we get one/two. Mostly one.
