The fires are currently limited to Southern California (and way out of season), although just two months ago I needed a gas mask to walk outside. We probably won't see another fire here until next year, because everything flammable has already burned.

It's above freezing tonight.

[Builds a quick snow-lizard] Look! A self portrait!

This is going to get very cold very fast, isn't it?

hS

Serves you right - I bet it was /foreign/ food, wasn't it? From... Hollfranmany, or whatever that European country is call-

[Any further comments are cut off by a sudden fall of snow from the tree, dislodged by the snowball]

hS

I don't actually know how much, since I haven't gone out to look, but there's a clearly visible layer.

And Austin (where I normally study) had a bit of snow on Friday, which resulted in any class before 10 AM getting canceled.

[Throws snowball in the general direction of the UK, hoping to hit something]

That's for landing a snowball in my food!

Yeah, I think you've still got more than us; ours is turning to slush now.

[Scoops up a handful of snow and lobs it at OpinionedAngel's head; runs off back to Britain]

It snowed quite a bit yesterday, but now it's about three inches left. It hasn't snowed hard here for years...

[Builds an igloo to shelter in; sits smugly in igloo] Hah!

[Igloo promptly collapses around him; scrabbles to the surface] Aw, come /on/!

[Peppers Iximaz with snowball]

(For a brief, glorious moment there you were the PPC's newest holiday: Iximas.)

*pops up, sputtering*

Ohhh, you asked for it.

*scoops snow together into a snow trebuchet, prepares to launch at hS*

(Also, in case anyone's confused, I don't mean "nerd" in a derogatory manner, it's just meant as a joke, kinda poking fun at those who do use it as an insult.)

-Twistey

... I will /not/ include you in the general snowballing I am currently carryi g out.

Ah, who am I kidding? [Flings a snowball at Storme's head and runs away cackling]

hS

This is actually the first time we've had decent snow in a good five years, so I am sharing the love! [Assembles a seriously oversized trebuchet and starts flinging snow in Ix's direction]

... hang on, was that Louis/iana/ or Louis/ville/?

Eh. I'll do both. Sorry, wrong one!

[Continues firing]

hS

What good is cold weather without snow? Let me get that for you.

[Cobbles together a steam-powered rocket to deliver a cubic meter of snow right on top of doc's head]

... wait. Americans.

[Hastily redesigns rocket to carry 27 cubic feet of snow instead]

Much better.

In light of the fact that my country has for some stupid reason chosen to cut ties with yours, it is my solemn duty to do this:

[Lobs a rather misshapen snowball across the Channel at GT]

Take that!

We got a bit of snow yesterday, but it was all just flurries and none of it stuck.

The lake in my neighborhood did freeze over, though! But other than that, it looks like it ought to be T-shirts and shorts weather. We even still have geese around here—normally they've left for warmer climates by now.

I miss getting three feet of snow in December. :(

Of course, it's only the very far northern, elevated parts of Arizona that ever do.

In my area, we did go from night temperatures in the fifties down to the thirties in a single day. Which also means I went from a zero coats day to a two coats day in a single work week. Very embarrassing. The best part, though, is that this should hopefully drive the last straggling bark scorpions underground until spring now. Although I did see one crushed to death in the squirrel monkey door just yesterday . . .

I don't know about the UK, but the Netherlands are covered in snow. And if I look out the window, it's still snowing. It's also quite foggy.

So now I got it and I'll give it a shot.

Seriously, sorry. (Though in fairness, you haven't been around much this month.) It's been sort of alternating snow and rain here, so the ground is just a muck of slush.

hS

And no, I do not have snow. We have plenty of rain though if you want it.

... is it snowing where you are? Because this is really weird.

Also goes for anyone else. Do we... /have/ any other UK Boarders left? Of course I assume the entirety of North America is buried under a lovely soft blanket (except California, which is just on fire).
