Snow 2009/10 thread!

I made a snowman!

Still snowing here right now. That's about 15 hours straight snow fall, which is officially the longest snowfall I've ever seen. The UK is getting dumped on in fairly epic fashion (for the UK anyway). Apparently it's going to hit -8C here (West Surrey) tonight, which is an unbelievable temperature for this part of the UK.

I know the Northern Europeans and Americans might laugh at us screaming about snow, but in the last 11 months I've seen more snow than I have in the previous 29 years of my life. It's already looking like it's the coldest winter for a generation. So excuse us if we freak out slightly on this one

Very thankful that I just invested in some new boots (Magnum Elite II Leather). It's the kind of weather where having boots that are waterproof and insulated is a distinct advantage...

Snow, what snow?

That was taken yesterday, thankfully the stuff that was forecast for last night fell further south.

I'm surprised Dark Pulse hasn't posted in this thread.

Dark Pulse can't post right now, he's still shoveling.

"Wah wah wah, the snow here falls in flakes the size of Buicks..."

Dark Pulse can't post right now, he's still shoveling.

Although the question of what he's shoveling has yet to be answered

I live in Bournemouth in the uk. Despite the weather warnings not an inch of snow. towns and villages not twenty miles away are snowed in.
Also despite the lack of snow the office is half empty and some people have gone home "just in case". My project manager has been watching live satellite feeds of cloud patterns all day. Yet not an inch!

Man in Denmark they got 50cm up north. In a way I would love that kind of snow down here and at the same time I don't

^ Nice. (whoops, I specifically meant slainchild's image. Very peaceful..) There isn't any snow, for the moment.

We're expecting a "mere" 10 cm of snow this weekend.
Temperatures below 0. -5..-10 in the south I believe.

We are expecting another 3-5 inches later tonight as well as -15 wind chill. Awesome stuff I have to say.

Beautiful mountains. Canadian rockies?

It's been a warm year on the west coast. Bummer.

I haven't felt this kind of cold in years. -10°C wind chill. My daily walk from the train station to school is a ****ing nightmare, even though it's only 10 minutes.
