It's Snowing
 

How atrocious. :laugh: We're supposed to get three inches. :shocked:

And a lovely rain/snow mix in the city which has begun, but it is just misting right now. Stupid mix.

Oy, it's coming down like the dickens right now. They said that by morning it will be icy rain, my favorite. :rolleyes:

Cool!
 

There's a chance...
 

of snow for this area tomorrow night...So I am praying that it does indeed snow.

It snowed here a couple of days ago.

My word, it's starting early this year. :laugh:

Wish it would snow here. We get get rain

So much for global warming :p :wavey:

(levity)

One of Bush's cronies went on the BBC last week and claimed that global warming was a lie that was created by scientists involved in a conspiracy. :laugh:

Well, if anyone would know about a conspiracy, it would be W :laugh:

wow
 

Wow a bunch of snow haters. I love it. How can you hate something that gets you out of school?

Beyond me

I know, really - it's 60 degrees here right now :rolleyes:

It snowed bit here this week - I was SO STOKED....awesome for someone who didn't grow up around snow...for now I LOVE it...hha...I am, however, quite nervous about driving this winter :eek:

Say it isn't so!!! i love the autumn and it goes too quickly for my liking.

I agree...
 

I love the autumn months best of all...But I also love the winter since I am a cold weather person. Rather be freezin' than dying of heatstroke anyday of the year :nod:

Brian "He who checks his mail barefoot in the snow..." j.

:laugh: You mean anything besides not freezing our asses off, and being able to still do any kind of outdoor activity without it being a pain in the ass?
Actually, what can't we do in this weather? Except, play with snow.

Same here...I feel more at home in the fall and winter and can't stand the heat of the summertime. Plus, it gives me an excuse to play Bare Trees all the time. ;)

um, Justin, what is this "summertime" you speak of? I know i didn't have one, do you get something we don't 20 miles (or however far it is) away? As far as i'm concerned, it's barely spring here during those months. 72 degrees?! :mad: Come on, we weren't exactly suffering through heat stroke... :rolleyes:

Similar...
 

but late autumn/Early winter is when I play Disc #2 of the 1990 Led Zeppelin boxed set ad-nauseam...

Brian j.

Nope...It wasn't all that hot this year here in San Mateo either...I just don't like it when it IS warm out. Luckily, this year was pretty mild, you're right Amber! :thumbsup:

-Justin

Gee, this is probably not the time to mention that I'm on vacation. I'm on Hilton Head Island and it was 75 degrees today. Sadly, it was mostly cloudy and we did have a little rain. Now it's supposed to turn "cold"--high's only in the mid to upper 60's tomorrow. Still, beats the hell out of snow any day! :)

I couldn't agree with you any more. I *despise* snow.

Welcome to our world.. ;) :laugh: :laugh: Hope you're having a great time for vacation! you need one!

Give me school cancellation snow or Christmas snow sister. Anything else is just shovelling time. I do love the snow as I'm an avid skier, but little storms like this are more upsetting than anything else.

I feel like I'm in a different world down here. It's been very nice!

Easy, because it doesn't get you out of work. EVER! :mad:

60 degrees is freezing your ass off?! I'd like to see you attempt to make it in MA where the high of the day is 25 degrees. :laugh:

I said NOT freezing our asses off. :) that was kind of the crux of my point.

:laugh: Sorry!

yeah. but i don't think i would die or anything, in MA, it just wouldn't be my favorite. It would get near that cold where i grew up, but not usually in Nov. And we only got snow every few years, just a teensy bit :cool:

The almanac is saying that our winter is going to be brutal this year. It's already at record cold weather for this time of year!

Hell...
 

even 25 degrees is not that bad...Guess cause here in Oklahoma we have 25 degrees temp with North winds gusting about 20-30 MPH most winter nights which make it possible to imagine what the hell an eskimo feels! (Its current 48 with winds blowing 13MPH)

What's not really known, But is scientifically proven is that Chicago is NOT the "windy city" (aka-The city with the highest average of blowing wind) as most are led to believed...OKC average more wind over Chicago by 2 MPH, And the whole state of Oklahoma is #1 in windy days per year over the rest of the US.

Matter of fact a "wind farm" was just built 15 miles South of our home to use the natural force of wind for purposes of energy (There's about 30-35 100 foot tall "Windmills" along prairie land.)

I believe it, dustbowl state man....god, that would drive me nuts. I would give up all hope of my hair ever looking good :laugh:

Actually...
 

it's "Crustbowl"...since everything around here is covered in crusty layers of dust, And from the looks of the land I predict another "Dust Bowl" era within the next 10-15 years.

Brian j.

Gross. I think my mom did an environmental paper on OK. Something about erosion, overgrazing, topsoil, overgrazing... :) overfarming...you know, detrimental dust bowl causing stuff like that :nod:

The idiots known as...
 

ranchers/farmers here love to chop ANY type of vegatation down so they can more precious acreage to work, But then they wonder why the droughts seem to get worse each & every year (Summer this year was not as extreme as the usual, But it also was not a wet summer)...They have no one to blame but themselves if ya ask me.

Thank God my yard is full of trees :nod:

Brian j.

yep. It's amazing what people don't know they shouldn't do with the land, the massive and long reaching detrimental effects things can have... :confused: der? anyone in there? :laugh: Ha, those are gonna be the only trees left in OK! Good job, Brian! :thumbsup:

I don't think I'll ever forget last year's disgusting amount of below zero days. How often do you get days off for the cold? Honestly, we risked frostbite changing classes from building to building and whatnot. Screw the cold, bring on the snow.
