How does winter look like right now at your place? :D can you show me? Yes, even Africa can brag about the warm sun :P
It'd be best if you made the actual photos or took from internet up to date :D
Here: This is 24h cam in Warsaw, I think this is the best I can get atm, since the snow storm came just today xD

Here in London, it's -1 degree Celsius, haven't seen any snow yet, but it's expected.
The worst thing is climbing into your car in this cold weather, the leather steering wheel is ice cold, and the seats aren't too friendly either.
I'll take some pics once it actually looks like winter :p.

Pout we all don't live in the northern hemishpere you know, that aside it's actually raining here and a little cold. So question kinda remains I guess *checks google weather for her city*. 15 C so bit cold by our standards ;p

wow really? Today we have -9, tomorow will be -17 oO
we have to take shovels with us in order to dig up the cars..
I envy you guys /o\

Atm my window is half dark, because of the layer of the snow
but I heard all Britain is covered in snow for like a week! Was that bullcrap? D:
I want snow like that here in Bulgaria! Here is 19 degrees celsius atm. This is definitely not a winter...
I love winter and snow. I love to see all white. I love to see children throw snowballs. Ehh i miss that times...

Yes, it looks nice, but (if you aren't upper class) you have to wake up wearing a sweater and two pairs of socks and you walk around in the house in three t-shirts, and your winter jacket is twice size as you ;P
So basically, if you can warm your household to more than 18 degrees, you're lucky.
And also, one of the most terrible things in Poland:
The heavy layer of snow makes roofs collapse, every year. Dozens of them.
And my walls are already cracked after last year :S
So I envy YOU

11-29-2010, 04:38 PM
wow really?
When you get 55C days with it getting up to 60C yeah it's cold for us xD
Hmm Winter.. What is that?
Where I live (about 10degrees north of Equator) the lowest I can hope for is probably 19C at 3 to 4 AM (peak of northern winter) . During the day at the coldest time I would say 27 or 28 Celsius. 25C during the day is practically unheard of.
It is 32 C today. Reasonably cool.

25C during the day is practically unheard of.
Over here in England, 25Cmeans breaking out the shorts and t-shirts, lighting the BBQ and spending the day outside. xD
So far for me, winter has been -7C - 0C with no snow for me yet. :( But it has been snowing in other parts of the UK. We've had the earliest snowfall here since 1993.

Similar temperatures here, but we've got some snow. And thawing in the day, ice everywhere the next day, it's just like any other winter. :P

really? oO earliest we had would be august, few years ago. last year first snow appeared on september, this year would be november. Which is very cool. Very very cool. Cold, even.

it's all because of the lower solar activity, that's why winters are more harsh and kick in sooner, it will remain like this for a couple of years before the sun puts the thermostat a bit higher.
last time this happened it lasted from 1645 till 1715 the so called 'maunder minimum'.
so good luck xD i'm in a snowstorm again lol

its actually been pretty rainy here, which is a bad thing because once it cools down a few degrees and it starts to snow, im going to be buried. we have had like 3 times as much rain as usual. and as a rule, 1 inch of rain = 6 inches of snow. and if we have another downpour like we did earlier this summer, that will be 3 feet of snow in a day.

That's a nice winter :D Just quite perfect with right amount of snow.
@Hamster: I think it's that Bulgarian front again, which caused all the floods during summer.

About -4°C at 7 am here near Paris, few snow on ground, melt during the day.
Seems there is a lot more in my birthplace despite it's near the sea. So bad I'm not there to throw snowballs in my brothers teeth.

im nowhere near bulgaria, im practically on the other side of the planet. up here in wisconsin, we always get lots of snow, but 3 feet in a day.... thats pretty insane even for us.

Oh right, you live There! Well world works in pretty symmetrical way, so probably you're getting longer nights and shorter days, which makes air cold, but the air flow is still hot from the south, so you get rain instead of snow ;P

yep, its pretty much the same, yea, its only a few degrees above freezing so in not too long it will turn to rain.

Well summer here has been nice so far, not a day above 25 and it's been raining almost constantly. This is the first time in over 13 years that we've been outside of official drought conditions at the beginning of summer, too

That's sweet for you and animals in the area, I bet!
Tonight we had about two feet (50cm) of snow appearing on the ground. Our CAPITAL city is totally blocked, the main streets aren't possible to cross with cars, seriously, I ask myself, is this our first winter or something? Like, duh, snow falling in December, what a surprise, we aren't prepared. Bunch of idiots, not government :|
People are actually making jokes, that if winter came before election (we had it two weeks ago), all streets would be clear xD
I've heard in France, they have to import electricity from Belgium. That, I understand. And sympathise.

Here, near Pau (SW of France, 100km away of spanish border, 80 atlantic sea and mountains) it's rare to see snow in winter, even if the mountains nearby are full of it.
Yesterday was 20°C and sun :biggrin: but it was pretty uncommon tho.

Snow came early this year and after that we've got more snow. Then it has been snowing some more and we have got more snow and it has been snowing again. And it should snow more in the coming week. And there's a lot of snow. Go figure.

Accident Tonight \o/
Deer ran infront of my truck and i went to avoid hit black ice and went in the ditch
My neighbor was driving by and asked if I was alright i told him about the Deer he said "Should of just hit the Bitch" i laughed :P
I ditched the truck on my other Neighbor's property and too my luck this Neighbor just happens to be a Cop (Sarcasm) Luckily he's cool shit asked if i was drinking I wasn't - My brother pulled me out of the ditch luckily the truck isn't Damaged i have enough bills to pay :P
So i'm glad i'm moving to Toronto since it's so polluted the Smog just melts everything
Normally i love winter but I'm iffy about this year :P
