It's kinda weird weather over here. It was snowing pretty hard, maybe 12 inches, but now a few days later, it's almost entirely gone now. It's crazy.

It's turning into what I expect winter to be down here, which is just above freezing in the mornings and ~10C tops in the afternoons. Or in other words, thick jacket weather.

Sure, we have to plug the car in to prevent the batteries from freezing, drivers once again forgot to put their winter tries (4-season tires are not acceptable substitutes, you schmucks-- just like 4-season shoes don't exist), the bus system has gone to heck (but that just might be my city's transit company), wind chill pushes temperatures down to the -25C range on a daily basis, exposed skin freezes in a manner of minutes, the Rideau Canal still isn't open, and my uni's campus has turned into a slip 'n slide, but it's all great here.

Sprinkle the salt and break out the shovels-- we've seen this all before.









I want to live somewhere warm

There's snow in the mountains, but the temperatures are still pretty high for the season. It rained for a while, but this seems to have stopped, at least on the western side.

It's been kinda nice, really; getting a lot of school reading done.

On the other hand, my lab and work got canceled. I was looking forward to them, too... :<

The storm started today. We're having rain and stuff, and are expecting snow next week. Hopefully it'll catch; snow that doesn't catch is depressing.

Yesterday it was almost clear. Monday we were practically wading through snow. Around this time last week people were in short sleeves.

By next week, I anticipate barbecues and pool parties.

As it probably should in January, like it or not - the view outside my window shows a foot of snow on the sidewalk, and roadside piles as tall as I am! I'm glad I'm living in an apartment right now, since I'd hate to have to shovel all that before work...

But it's still very cold. And I ended up falling yesterday because there was black ice yesteerday.

-July, tan

We're expecting to hit at least two feet by Saturday night, with more likely to follow on Sunday. This of course means that all the southerners on my college campus are promptly freaking out. So, that's entertaining to watch while everything else in town is shut down, I guess.

It keeps switching between burning heat, overcast humidity and cold rainyness.
Australian weather is the only weather in the world that has to take Seroquel.

Here in Chicago, we have a little snow, but it's actually warmer than it was last week, or even a couple days ago, so no complaints. I only wore my boots when I went out because I have awesome green suede boots, and dammit, I'm gonna wear them.

~Neshomeh, who is an adult and totally doesn't pretend to be an adventurer anytime there's remotely treacherous footing to be had, especially with boots on.

Southern Indiana reporting in with snow that's... hm, I don't know how deep it is in inches, but it went up halfway to my knees when my mom sent me out to see if we had mail. (Surprisingly, we did not.)

But I have hot chocolate, a fireplace, and a computer, so things are nice here. :)
