I love to wear shorts too. It is really fun in the cold because you get all kinds of great looks.

Today was a bit more of the same. Temperatures in the forties, off and on rain, cloudy. We can get this kind of weather for a month or two straight. No wonder we have the second-highest suicide rate of the country:indiff:.
 
2 hours drive from me: http://www.dagbladet.no/nyheter/2007/02/22/492876.html?i=1

Pic 1: The southern regions have experienced a tremendous snowfall the last 24 hours.
Pic 2: Kirkegata in Kristiansand is almost unrecognisable.
Pic 3: The blizzard caused traffic jams and forced hundreds of driver to spend their night in their cars.
Pic 4: The employees are unable to get to work (The note is written by an employee from another store!)
Pic 5: One of our reader's view out the windows.
Pic 6: This is what Kristine Eikenes saw outside her door this morning.
Pic 7: "Just been out with the snowplow, and there was this car here!" writes Joachim Dybedal. Picture from Groos in Grimstad.
Pic 8: Grimstad Centrum; looks like "Skomakergata" (a fictional street from a x-mas calendar franchise) today.
Pic 9: Found a car under the snow: Picture from Fevik in Grimstad.
Pic 10: The dog Duracell almost drowns in the snow.
Pic 11: Terrorist? He's at least well dressed; this unknown man in Grimstad.
Pic 12: A bus driver keeping his mood up in Arendal. (It says "Have a nice day" in the windscreen)
Pic 13: Digging out the car today is more work than it usually is.
Pic 14: Only the wipers are visible on this car.
Pic 15: According to one of our readers, this is a car road. The snow is covering Kolbjørnsvik in Arendal.
Pic 16: Police is recommending people to stay home.
Pic 17: The shopping street in Kristiansand.
Pic 18: Hundreds of drivers were stuck in the snow. Red Cross tried to reach as many with food and fuel.
Pic 19: Picture taken last night (Wednesday, that is)
 
Most of that snow dropped in 24 hours? Nice!

It's been quite nice again here (by our standards, not California's but we've beat that to death) lately so the grass is starting to peek through the snow again.
 
Yep, at least 15 inches fell this night where I live. I had a hard time to clear our road and garage of snow, the snowblazer didn't work so I had to do everything with a spade :grumpy:

And just for the info; the road which leads to our house is at least a 100 metres long...
 
Maybe I should go to school in Norway? Sounds fun!

Here, its probably in the fifties. Too hot for a sweatchirt, shorts and tee-shirt weather! I'm stoked.
 
You do not want to go to school here, if you think they close the school because of so much snow, you're wrong. Norwegians are no wimps who close schools for just an inch of snow ;)

It's still snowing BTW, more snow to fall expected, I hope my snowblazer will do it tomorrow morning :scared:
 
Rain rain rain here. Earlier on it was sort of sunny but since mid afternoon it's just been raining constantly. :( The river Tone was quite high today too.
 
We're getting about 0.1mm of drizzle at the moment. :dopey: The best shower in almost 2 months. Not much, but i'm grateful that we got some. :)
 
Yes, we got more rain tonight. :) I was riding my bike in it, haven't seen even a proper drizzle in a looooooooooong time.
 
All the snow is not all fun and games. There has been at least on fatality, were an 18 year old girl litteraly drowned in snow after she jumped in a snow bank. Apparently she slipped when she reached the bottom, hit her head and was found unconscious by her mother.:(

Yeah, I heard about that, sad...

Anyway, had to clear the snow once agian this morning, snowblazer still does not work 🤬
 
We're supposed to get 6"-8" of snow this weekend which means we'll really get 1". :grumpy:

We'd all die, we struggle with a sprinkling.

Speak for yourself. Certain areas of Britain can get quite a lot of snow sometimes, though not as much as in that gallery.

As for the weather here today, it's nice and warm, very sunny, a few clouds in the sky but it's patchy so theres actually some blue sky over Manchester.
 
Its a bit chilly down here, I'm wearing a jumper for the first time since Christmas day, I think it would be. Actully, since our trip to the zoo.
 
It's sunny, and the sky is clear and it has been all day.

Yes, that's a picture from Manchester.
 
Holy crap, the forecast was actually right for once. Over the last 3 days we received 5.9" of snow. It has been hovering right around upper 20's to very low 30's F for the last few days and looks like that should continue for at least the next few days.

North Dakota residence get a little crazy (as do most colder climates, I'm guessing) when it gets even the slightest bit warm. This weekend when it was 34° F, there was a guy wearing shorts and a T-shirt shopping. I might do that at 50°, but not 30's. Of course, one year I did go jet skiing when it was in the 40's. :lol:
 
I guess you North Dakotans would have a 365 day summer here. Forties, rain every now and then, pretty solid weather.

I was out in Seattle a few years ago and my family lives in Georgia - both have a different kind of cold. Thirty degrees in ND is not the same as Ga - not by a long shot. :)
 
We received 4.7" of snow last night, we are expecting another 1-3" during the next few hours and then another 8" tonight. Damn good thing I got the snowblower running good last week. :lol:
 
The last two days were the first time in a while that it has been cold enough to snow around here. Last night, everything but where I am go dumped on pretty good (I hear). No Calculus teacher today. In Burien, we started to get a very light snowfall, but that has amounted to nothing.

It's been snowing a bit down here in Portland area, too. It's supposed to reach in the low 60's by this weekend though. I hate cold!

:confused: :confused: :confused: :odd: :odd: ?!?

60 degrees? Cold? That is perfect! Snow above 60? what do you guys have, snow blowers all over town?

Or did you mean 30 degrees?
 
Ah, cold, driving rain for the next couple days. Ah.

God damn you, Mother Nature. Gimme snow. Lots of snow. 20 feet of snow. So much snow that I can swan dive off my chimney. None of this rain crap. Cold is completely useless if it isn't accompanied by large quantities of snow.

Worst winter ever. It's snowed twice for a total of roughly five inches.
