Winter Weather Is Here!

zombul · 01-31-2007, 02:30 PM

We had one hell of an ice storm and lost power for a couple weeks in some places my house was only out for about 5 days.It is snowing again outside and this has been a damn wild winter here.We have people from all over the country staying in town to repair damage from the ice storm and clean up fallen trees.
I hate to bitch about the snow but damn.Anyone else having similar weather?

Nope about 6 inches of snow accumulated from lake effect snow fall. One ice storm about .5" of ice fell.

Nothing started till after the New Year, it was above freezing here, been chilly lately about 12 degrees Fahrenheit plus the wind.

Where's that cel/far converter?

It's actually warming up today, -9 celsius out there now.

So I guess the canal has finally frozen over enough to skate on up there?

From Pretoria bridge to Pigs Island is opened now and from Pigs Island to Dows lake this weekend (if that makes sense to you) if not, yes but only partially.
Winterlude starts this weekend.

I dont need to hear crying about winter, here in Colorado we have had snow for going on at least two months, record snowfall, freezing cold everyday, and the high of this week is suppose to be maybe 12 degrees.

I hate winter

Our conditions havn't been that harsh but it has been a bad winter for this part of the country.

Hammerlynn · 02-01-2007, 09:46 AM

We were actually whining because there was no snow. Unusual temps for December hovering in the 50's. We've now got our snow and bitter cold (for this area!) Starting Friday, the temps will fall below zero overnight until Tuesday. Zombul..where are you at? My bf's brother is in Wichita and they shut down one day because of heavy snowfall.

I'm tired of this cold weather. Where the hell is my global warming?

We got all the warm weather you need down here. I had to wear pants once in the last year. I want to see snow damnit. I have only seen snow twice in my life.

Thats actually funny because it can still be freezing cold and you still see alot of people either wearing their sandals or shorts.
