How much snow did you get ? How cold is it ?

[gotsnowgotslush]

What did you get?
Last night gave me another foot of snow.

I have five feet and a bit more of snow.
The drifts are seven feet tall, mostly.

The snow banks created by the plows
And earth moving equipment are
another matter.

It is cold today, and the wind is blowing in gusts.
Yesterday it hovered around the freezing mark.
It was comfortable. Today, it warmed up to 18f.
It feels cold because the wind is blowing the snow
around.

Boston was gang banged!

Got another 2 or 3 inches yesterday and it was minus 13 and in the minus 30s with the windchill overnight.. Supposed to be a little colder tonight... Brrr

 

[Wrong Element]

Where I am, it's been a colder winter than usual -- and we're getting the coldest temps of the season today and this coming week, which is a lot later than the norm -- but we've mostly been spared the snow.

My friends and relatives in New England are about over it.

 

[pointless]

it's one, but here in michigan we didn't get much snow. we did, however, get lots and lots of wind so don't feel too jealous.

One flurry of snow this winter and it didn't lie. Just two days when the frost didn't thaw from one night to the next. North East England, same latitude as Schefferville - Labrador and further north than Edmonton, Alberta.

If we didn't have the North Atlantic Drift warming our shores through every winter, it would be such a totally different story for the British Isles!

 

[glynndah]

It's about 18 degrees here and we're under a blizzard warning. No snow yet, but it's coming, or so they say. They were wrong last time.

I've often thought exactly this - if you look at a globe, even the south of England is parallel with Cape Breton, which gets feet of snow and regular -20C temperatures. Thank goodness for the Gulf Stream.

 

[someoneyouknow]

It's hard to tell how much snow I received since the 40+ mph winds was blowing it around all night and into today.

Current temp is 9F with wind chills of -10F. Nice, steady 20 mph winds with gusts over 30 mph.

I might be having groundhog stew this week.

There's some UK government list of the top ten catastrophies which could impact the country, calculated on some formula based on likelihood and on degree of devastating effect. Loss of the Gulf Stream is the top one. Above nuclear attack. Sobering eh?

 

[SoMoney831]

A couple inches, but it came down fast and furious. For a while I couldn't even see the pool outside my apartment. Now it's just uber-cold, though they're calling for more snow here tomorrow night into Tuesday.

What manner of instinct drove the British to settle in New England ?
It is nearly the same as Dear Older England.
We depend on the Gulf Stream for our lives.

The Charles River freezes over, just as the Thames has done.
(In memory of a murdered king.)

Our New England harbors freeze over, time and time, again.
There are ice cutters and ice breakers out working on passages.

I walked on the frozen ocean. I skated on the Charles.
(Until my Orge Husband decided to explore unsafe ice.)
Nutcases race their cars, trucks and motorcycles on frozen lakes.

You have Iceland glowering, we have Canada's coldest reaches, coldly gazing at us.

 

[thør]

41°F. No new snow. A couple ice pellets hit me in the face yesterday while cruising around the speed oval on my nordic blades.

 

[gotsnowgotslush]

We have your snow, which is nice. But, it is a bit much for a city like Boston.
You have our nice, comfortable temperatures. I miss them.
Frostbite warning, up for tomorrow.

 

[yossi]

It snowed a couple inches at most and then the wind picked up and blew a lot of it into tiny drifts. It's still freezing, but there's a strong sun today, so most of the snow left in my front yard has already melted.

 

[Lord Pmann]

I live in Florida and we don't have snow. It's like 60 degrees outside.

Got another 2 or 3 inches yesterday...

*giggles*

 

[MaryanneB]

I'm in NW PA and, when I went to the store this morning at 9a it was -13deg on the firehouse. Thank God the plow guy did my driveway or I'd still be at street. I have to go down o the shore of Lake Erie tomorrow and see the ice dunes..

 

[RedAllan]

It snowed about 2 weeks ago, 1/4 of an inch and was gone by lunch time, that was it.

 

[1sickbastard]

None. Shirtsleeve weather until later tonight, then it'll be cool enough for long sleeves or a jacket.

 

[Not Normal]

We haven't had any significant snow in a few weeks. It got warm and most of it is gone. Then it got cold again. Its 16ºF with a wind chill of 4ºF right now.

 

[MonaLittle]

To my dismay, we've gotten none.

 

[cowslinger64]

*giggles*

Lol.. I almost didn't post that cause I knew someone would do dat..

I don't think I could take more than a couple inches at a time.

Oh, I'm sorry.

 

[contrifan32]

8-12 inches of new snow last night but its hard to tell how much with the wind gusting to 50 mph. Some fine New England weather we are having at the moment.

 

[doowdniw]

Wintery mix is due in the morning, but the ground will be too warm for anything to stick.

 

[IrezumiKiss]

Only got a dusting o' snow last night, but it's triple-layer ice capades outside right now!
