It gets REALLY windy over here at college in MA, but other than that the cold isn't too bad, but we still ended up having a tiny bit of snow a couple of days that actually stuck. Next day was the warmest day for the past couple of weeks and today it rained. I... I have no words. Here's hoping there's enough snow tuesday to cancel my finals though.

You're all whiny. I can't wait for snow down here.

Metrodome caved in.

That's really all I have to say about the snow.

Yeah, I've seen the video. Bit of a "Woha." moment.

Up until December 8th, there wasn't any snow in Toronto.

By December 10th, we had piles and I made a snowman on my birthday.

Today, December 12th, There is no snow and it was raining.

I'm good with this.

I'm in Saskatoon baby, where it snows 10 inches every night and snow one gives a snuck.

Agreed. I live in Winnipeg. The snow here? It eats people. I don't mean it covers them gently in a frosty white blankey. I mean it literally fucking eats people. Last time it snowed? They were like, "We should send out a search party for all the people that might be dead because the snow ate them."
Then some other guy was like, "Well fuck that, the search party will get eaten!"
No one has ever been found.

Last Sunday we received a heaping helping of snow here in London, so much so that the city was shut down for about a day and the school boards were down for three. I have never seen so much snow fall all at once in my entire life.

For all saying "quit your bitching," let me be clear we regularly get 8-10 inches of snow in a sitting. This was 15+ inches of a heavy powder, which does not compact, but loves to drift, as the first major snow of the year (we had a bit for Thanksgiving which didn't stay on the roads). As such, the roads were not salted, the plows had to scramble, and since the highways come first, the city was left accumulating it. Most cars do not have 15 inches of road clearance. For the metric population, that's a whopping 38 centimeters of white stuff on the roads. While the plows were out on the highway. So yeah, very few people were out on the roads.

Also, we usually get a bit of melting to help ease things up, but it's been consistently 15F or lower and shows no signs of warming up until Thursday... when we're looking at a 33% chance of more snow. For reference, salt generally only works down to about 20F.
