It got so cold that school had to be cancelled, dispite there being about an inch of snow. It didn't even get above 0 Farenheit on one day. :P

So I can cook eggs on my doorstep from 10 am to 5pm. And don't try to walk, or you'll become a part of the atmosphere.

Snow and cold and wind and sun and cold and snow. We're just on the edge of Snowmageddon.

Dear gods is it hot. Is it ever. I mean JEEZ. It's been pushing 40C for days.

I live on the tenth floor, and the wind's noisy as hell up here >_

I live close to the equator, and this is one of the coldest winters I've experienced.

Here in Chicago, we discovered just how crappy our windows and back door are when snow was being driven between the inside and outside panes of the windows, and just plain into our kitchen through the door, by the blizzard two days ago. We had to put a blanket between the storm door and the main door to stop it. We also noticed that someone who lived here before us actually stuffed newspapers into the top of one of the windows, so I'm sure that's contributing to the draft we get.

Outside, of course, there are mountains of snow in the alley, and they actually closed Lake Shore Drive the night the storm hit, due to whiteout conditions.

For some reason, we had internet all through the storm (I was in the chat), but yesterday through just a few minutes ago it was out. *shakes head at ISP*

But of course, I'm in the southern hemisphere. We're all getting odd weather too, though - besides Cyclone Yasi, that is. It's been a very grey, wet, muggy summer. We didn't get any snow last June, either, so in a way I envy you lot, but given the sheer amount that seems to have fallen, that's probably silly. I hope it gets better for you soon.

Chiming in with the chorus of Snow, Slush, and Ice. Snow in drift-piles up to my chest, on average, and rather higher in places, slush in layers halfway up my shins on the side of the road, frozen slush/ice/snow piles to climb over at the end of every sidewalk...

And I'm actually dreading Spring, because at least now I can do the elf thing and keep to the crusts. Come melting time, we'll all be up to our ankles in mud. Also, ice on trees! 'S pretty.

We had to hire someone to chop the icicles off our roof, they were so thick and heavy. (And dripping.) These things were like ten feet long, too. And the snow is forming mountains, basically, especially at the edge of parking lots. I can't really say how much we've got accumulated, since it's all irregular drifts.

Though that's to be expected, seeing as I live in Western Washington and it rarely, if ever, snows over here. Certainly nothing like the East Coast and the Midwest with its Snowmageddon.

It's all melting here.

Oh man where is all this melty snow gonna go?

I like snow, but there is a lot of it and it keeps raining and hailing and sleeting and slush-ing and.. ew.

...and it's colder than a familiar in chickadee form, even if you don't take the wind chill into account.

Not one layer of snow. At all. Maybe only once a year sometimes, but over here it never seems to happen very often.

I hesitate to say 'cold' since 40 to 50 degrees is apparently only considered cold for where I live. Definitely windy, though.
