It finally snowed today, and it looks like it's going to stick around. November 14 is pretty late for us, though, normally we have had a good snow by Halloween. Guess I can't rid my bike no mores :(

Haha, it snowed here today too! It was so damned cold... I forgot to bring my coat to school and I had to walk home. T_T
Nooo... no more biking iago T_T
-
Haha, today was the warmest day here in weeks. It snowed sometime in late october for us(which never happens), but we haven't seen any since.
-
It's snowed a couple times, technically. But it never stuck. Today, I think it will. :(

It was cold here today 7c. I like the cold, but I like riding my bike better.

Agreed. I love the cold, but I also love biking, so eh? It was below 0 all day :(

Really warm here :). 71 Degrees Fahrenheit. I believe it hasn't snowed in FL since the 1980's, and that was up by the panhandle...

Get tire chains?

Get tire chains?
Not necessary. All I have to do is deflate my tires a little to get more traction. But it's still really difficult and dangerous to ride. Hell, it's difficult and dangerous to drive, nevermind riding...
-
I'm supposed to have snow tomorrow. :\
I hate MN.

I actually managed to get some good pictures out my bedroom window. Since it's dark, that's rather surprising. Here they are:

Notice the building across the street and to the right.. that's a church (eww!). And yes, that's all from a single day of snow. That's a pretty major road there.

Holy poopy. Busses are stuck all over the place, schools are closed down, my mom's Quizno's store is closed, and Winnipeg's just gone to hell. This happens every year, though, so I'm not too worried. All I did was go outside and get some pictures.
It's hard to see how much snow here, but that's just so you all realize that I have a big dog:

That's our picnic bench and barbecue. 24 hours ago, there wasn't a drop (flake?) of snow on them.

Notice how my dog, on the left, is buried up to her neck?

Out the front window. Our trees got owned.

See this thread (http://www.x86labs.org/forum/index.php/topic,3669.0.html). I think Mythix offered to host him, but it would be a kind of painful transfer.

Haha, it just snowed today in Missouri for the first time this year. But, it didn't stick which kinda sucks. :( And since I am at school right now, it would of been fun driving home. :D
P.S.
Your dogs are sexy iago. :)

Yeah, it's been a little flaky today. I'm guessing that the snow has probably downed some lines, slowing everything down.

Hehe, I think all the snow we got is already gone too. In Calculus, we found the amount of energy the sun exerted to evaporate all of it :)

Lol, that's different. ;)
It is snowing a little right now too. It stopped for awhile there, and while I was leaving my school building and coming to my car it started up again, but nothing to spectacular.
-
I just finished shovelling the whole driveway, which had snow up to my knees, which are now soaked. But it's done!
-
Wow. That's a lot. We sometimes, if we're lucky, get a non-sticking snow in December. We generally always get at least one blizzard (read: 2-6 inches) in January or Febuary. End.
-

hahahah

I mowed the lawn yesterday, to pick up all the little leaves, but since there was so much wind last night, it looks like I didn't mow it at all.
Still no snow. :(

That's because you're too cool for snow lol!

Nono, you got it all backwards; he's not cool ENOUGH for snow! :P

Why would Ergot say that? If he had enough property to have a lawn, he'd be in the same boat as myself.

Neither of you are cool enough for snow! :P

... Well excuse me that I don't live farther up the East Hills to have a mansion that overlooks the valley -.-

Yeah, it's been mid-high 70's around here lately, my thermometer out back of my house says it's right over 80.
-
Not even Kthxgiving (for you american guys) yet.. geez..
-
wow, tahts a hell of a lot of snow :) It was 80 degrees here today and 90 yesterday.

Hehehe :) I have a similar experience:

Crappy phone picture, I know. That's outside of where I work at ~11:30 this morning (Networks might recognize the intersection of Greenfield & Guadalupe :P)
-
All the traffic and stuff was slow as crap today, but at least it's moving. Yesterday, busses weren't running, and there were cars stuck everywhere. And we're a city where we're used to snow :)
-
Woo, I got to drive today for the first time since snow. Driving is fun :)
The plows (ploughs? whatever) do the main streets, but they leave a pile of snow at the edge, so turning onto big streets is fun. Unless you drive a 4-wheel drive vehicle, you have to take a run at it to get over, but it's also slippery, so you have to regain control. It's fun++, but so dangerous :)
-
lol! I wanna try!!!
-
Driving with a stick when it's slippery outside is hella crazy. While I am driving, and I go from neutral to first gear, I skid or a squeel like crazy! That's the only bad part of snow, and rain. I think I just need an automatic, while I was learning how to drive, I drove an automatic, and while in the snow it was a lot easier to manuver... But it was also four wheel drive, whereas my car isn't.. *sigh* But like you said ron:
It's fun++, but so dangerous
-
4wd makes driving on ice/snow so easy that it's not fun.
I forgot to mention the worst thing: getting stuck. I HATE getting stuck in the snow/ice, it's so embarassing and hard to get out :(
-
It has snowed here. :-)
-
Well, I went for a bike ride last night. It wasn't too bad when I was on the streets, but then I tried taking a pedistrian path and got owned. I ended up walking it, because I would just sink. But on the street, even icy areas, I was ok. I don't think I'd be comfortable riding in heavy traffic, though :-/
-
lol, get wheels made for snow then you can pwn it up in the snow
-
The secret is to keep your tires at a low PSI. Then they have more surface area = more traction.
-
We had snow last Wednesdayish, it melted, we have more snow tomorrow. :\
-
It only snows once maybe twice in January through mid February. If it does snow we only get an inch or two. :(
Last year it didn't snow at all. :(
-
Yeah, I think the snow will own my car.
5spd, 250hp, 320 ft/lb torque < Snow
I'm gonna get gG'd :(
-
Oddly enough it hasn't snowed here yet this year. In the past years that I've lived here we have gotten atleast snowflakes or a considerable snow by now. However, the temperature has been consistantly below freezing at night for the past couple of weeks now so if a storm ever does move in we will likely get a fair amount of snow.
