No snow whatsoever in North Berwick, but Scotland got quite a hit for
Christmas. Its quite popular in Scotland at any rate to place bets on
whether it snows in your home town, and apparently the bookies lost a
lot this time around :smile: Here though, its just been fairly gloomy and
horrible. Had a pretty nice thunderstorm with fork lightning the other
day, which you don't often see here in the UK.

All your weather keeps coming our way, Doc! Curses! :razz:
I think you've got more on the ground than we do, but it's been falling almost non-stop for well over 24 hours... getting into the 36-48 range. Might let up today. A bit cold, too. Brr. :sad:

WTF is a militant weather comment? would that be like "Sieg Hail!" (sic)
(get it, play on words/militant phrase.)

We've had no snow since early-mid december and then it was just enough to cover the ground for the night.
It has mainly been clear skys but the wind has been quite high so it would freeze you and weve had the odd day of rain here.
I wish i was back in canada this chistmas just gone i love snow on crimbo day.

Its about time snow started falling and the thermometer started showing negative 30 Celcius.
I walked to school today and my face froze within 5 minutes. Ahh... How I had missed that feeling...

Heh, I also had a snow day today. City buses are running, schools are
open, but what the hell, eh? It's pretty calm out now though, with
little wind and snow/rain. This morning was pretty bad though, with
freezing rain and wind. Who wants to wait for a bus in that?
So, about 10-15cm here, and lotsa freezing rain = no school today.

"in soviet Russia, you don't melt the snow, the snow melts you" seriously though, in more polluted districts of Moscow, the stuff was BLACk and frickin toxic.

The most tired and overused Family Guy
joke EVER.
It never snows in Oregon, yet "weather men"
always claim it "might". Like tomorrow.
The last time it
snowed was last January, and it sucked because it froze over. Before
that it didn't really snow for about three years. Damn
valley.

Asshole
I'm
talking about the areas that people actually live in, not the
mountains.
I'd like it to snow at my house. Usually when people
say "I'd like it to snow" they mean where they live, not
somewhere that's relatively out of the way and a pain in the ass to
get to.

Pah. We haven't had an inch of snow down here in Maryland, only rainy days. If it won't snow, atleast give me the wet rainy down pours that I always want!

Don't usually get snow down here, Ther was the occasional time I
thought hail was snow (oww I can still remember running through it).
But hopefully my lazy friends will get their rears in gear and get up
to the rockies to do some boarding, but you never know....
