Bizarre February weather...
2005-02-22, 11:13 AM #1
It snowed.

OK, that might not be altogether unusual, except that it's the middle of February. It's also some of the only snow to settle over this winter. What makes it even more unusual is that I'm about thirty miles from London, in one of the warmer, drier parts of England. One thing that sucks about my school is that it only closes if the heating packs in, and even then only if it's under somethinng stupid like -10 degrees C. Damn oil-fired heating... when will you falter!?

Feel free to post about your unusual weather patterns. Or rants about schools working you in the bloody cold. Or anything vaguely on topic.

I think once several years ago I got snow in early-middle April. And I live in the VA area.

I was sitting in my lecture, listening to an old man drone on about eigenvalues, when I suddenly became aware of him staring at me. Turns out it's because I'd been gazing dreamily out the window at the snow fluttering down. It was beautiful.

Not enough to lay though. :(

-10 huh?


*sigh*

Once again, why Canadians aren't pansies. The schools are open during -40 weather.

It's been raining like crazy here in Vegas. I think I heard somewhere that it was a record amount of rainfall. It hardly ever rains here.

San Diego is under 4" of water.

Oh yeah we're under a tornado watch. I'm not joking.

i'm in Long Beach, which is a north of there. It's been raining off and on for a few days. It clears up for awhile, and then it reclouds in hardly any time, and then dumps rain for a few minutes.

Subtract about 5 to 10 degrees from both of those values and you get the weather we've had in NC for about the last two weeks. Snowfall SUCKED this year.

Hmm. Looks like biting winds are the forecast for the rest of the week. That and more snow.

Despite the snow it was actually not that cold this afternoon. At 7:30 this morning it was bitter though :(

Page is in Long Beach which is ~80 mile hike from San Diego. Avenger lives up in Berkeley which is by San Fransisco. That's an 8 hour hike.

Page and I are getting deluged. The San Diego river has flooded its banks. Parts of OB and PB are underwater. We've had homes collapse into sinkholes. Not fun.

Up by edinburgh/livingston we have almost 5 inches of snow, and its still snowing, school was on today but everyone from my village missed it cause one of 4 buses broke down, 2 got stuck on a hill and the other got stuck behind them.... oh yeah, and they were all 45 mins late so we were just told to go home.... good times. :)

Anyways, had a snoball fight, made a snow sculpture and stuff, then played eyetoy round at a friends for 3 hours.

oh yeah, and dont give me the old lecture on how some kids would give their left leg to go to school, im happy cause i get to play in the snow, big kid at heart

I'm in Northeast Ohio. One year we got 3" of snow in May. Last year we got more than an inch in April.
2005-02-23, 12:20 PM #23
its about time we had some decent snowfall in the UK been waiting years for it and i'm stuck in london, which although will get a good helping of snow, will probably all be gone very quickly.... :(

Finally after a shoddy start (an eternal October, starting in June leading to December), it's back to Winter as usual.

Wind-free -8 degrees Celsius. Snow. Sunshine. Occasional snowfall with large flat wafer-thin snowflakes.

Unsurprisingly, I spent a good amount of today nordic-skiing.
If it breaks, you get to keep both pieces.

My course is pitifully undersubscribed. I had a lecture this morning that consisted of me and one other student. In the three years I've been here, I've had maybe 20 lectures in actual lecture theatres, because it would be a complete waste of space. We're generally put in classroom type rooms, which usually have windows.
