Never seen so much snow here in Italy :D maybe for the guys living in Canada this is just "normal"!
I'm already looking to relocate to bahamas.

Snow? Well some. Not to mention -40 (celcius) degrees in northern Finland :)

It's pretty cold to have about 60 (celcius) degrees difference when going out after being indoors... ;)
(or 140-160 degrees in case you have been in SAUNA :))

No snow here all year, aside from a brief flirtation with the cold in early December. So boring.

It's supposed to snow here today. It happens once every five years or so, and of course it's a day when I have to leave the house :). I'm sure it's a conspiracy and somebody shot chuzzles at clouds to create snow.

Best regards,
Emmanuel

What's wrong with that?! That's what snow is for, so you can go outside and have snowball fights and build "anatomically correct" snowmen. ;)

It hasn't snowed here in a while (not counting the three specks from yesterday) but I loved driving on the freeway in heavy snow. The way everything floats around you is almost magical. (And since everyone drives really slow in bad weather, it lasts forever. :)) Snow rocks!

You can send it here Jack. We're well below our normal snowfall for my area, and the temperatures are well above normal. We need at least another 10 feet of the stuff this season. It doesn't look like we'll be even close this year. Our normal temperature for this time of year is -15 to -20C and we'll be hitting +2 to +6C today and tomorrow. The lakes are going to be low again this year and the forest is going to be tinder dry come summer....

It's been an unusually snow-free winter here, too...and quite warm. On Wednesday it was up to 12C. Everytime it gets cold enough to snow, we get a chinook and it raises the temperatures to spring-like conditions.

However, after all of the flooding we had last year, I think we've earned a break from precipitation. :P

True, you folks do deserve a break. I have a feeling that winter will do what it did last year here, dump it all on us in Feb. We'll look like Jack's location by spring :) Still won't be enough though... even the snowmobilers are having a tough time. Many of the trails are closed and the regular trails not maintained by the clubs are a mess...not that it's stopped any of them.

Hey I live in the carribean and I can tell you there's been a very unusual cold wave for the last month (down all the way to 20 degrees Celcius).
There's something strange going on with the global weather. Probably fallouts from siberia and north canada warming up, their coldness is going down towards the south:mad::p

We have winters like that in Boston ;)

We've only had one storm this season that ended up the same way, so fortunately had a light winter thus far...hope it keeps up.

No thanks, Jack, you can keep your snow... :)
We have just moved from Sweden down to sunny Malta :cool: to get away from the snow and cold weather for good.

Anyone want some pictures of rain? We have tons of that right now. :(

Great pictures. I'm definately jealous.

we are actually having a warm winter here in my part of canada, usually in January it's very, very cold but I actually left the house with just a t-shirt earlier this month... and whenever it does snow it doesn't stay for long.

It's been unusually warm here in Ottawa (Canada) - I don't think it got below -20 celsius all this week and it's around -5 right now.

Heh I don't complain about snow, and I prefer cold to excessive heat (like 38°C). However living in a caribbean isle would be nice just for the sea :D

p.s. relocating from sweden to malta? wow that's a big chance. But I heard that Malta's real estate is quite expensive...!

We've been thinking about moving abroad for several years now, and finally made the leap.
It is expensive to buy, yes.
For some reason it's quite cheap to rent, though...

Fairly common, but as others have said, this year has been very warm.

SOLD!

In what address can we deliver the -40°C here from Finland ;)

Hmm no, believe me, excessive heat is as bad as excessive cold.
There was such temperatures last summer in big towns here, and I couldn't even go out - was the same as if there was -40°C and all the roads iced.
Plus, you couldn't even use Pc inside your room without an A/C running at max power all the time (tons of $$$ lost).

If I have to choose I prefer -40°C (if the house is warm!!) :D

Wow, I'm in the "below Toronto" area (as evident by the IndieGamer Frappr (http://www.frappr.com/indiegamerforum)), and it's just as bad. Actually, I guess it's good, since I'm not the biggest snow (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snow_%28musician%29) fan.

PoV - I know where London is. :-) I think they class London as being in the SouthWestern part of Ontario. I'm midway between Sault Ste Marie and Sudbury, yet north of them. They're calling for snow from tonight till Monday, so hopefully it'll be more than 20cm... we need it ;)

I have shoveled 2 feet of snow off my drive way now. Keeps me from going out and getting distracted from work though.

The snow is starting to disappear here in central sweden, at last. I don't like snow, too cold;)
