#%@&*#@! weather!

Sign in to disble this ad
Here in Central Mass we've had an interesting week weather-wise. First, on Monday it's freezing cold with a 35+ MPH wind, wind chills of -25F. Then, yesterday it's snow and cold. Today it's freezing rain in the morning, straight rain in the afternoon. No wonder i'm so miserable!

Think I'll go take a nap!

What's it like where you live?

We have about 6-8" of global warming on the ground.

This is why I would never live in winterpeg. Way too cold, I was there once when the windchill was around -35 and thought I was going to die.

I went to Philadelphia yesterday and got caught in the Ice Storm- grid lock on I-95.

You would have thought they would have actually salted the roads BEFORE THE STORM

It took us 13 hours to get to the airport and arrive home, which would be usually a 4 hour trip total.

At least we did not get in an accident. Ironically all they had for a rental car in the morning was a rear wheel drive Mustang.

We've had pretty much the equivalent of a good summers day today. Still air sun an heat. Which is really strange because that usually never happens even during summer.

Is that with global warming or is it normally colder?

I have a mountain of snow blower defying slush.

I'm all set on winter.

Regular snow is one thing but this sucks and blows.

I'm ready for spring.

Yeah it's been nice. I went longboarding yesterday. Waves were kind of small, but it's still fun to get wet and cool off. Not bad for a February.

My understanding is it cause crazy extremes in both directions, with more violent weather attached

Can you submit a request to the global warming committee for bigger waves too?

Just got a dusting and ice here. Maybe 1" depending on your proximity to the nearest chemical plant.

Turned onto my street yesterday, there was snow coming over my hood, and my brand new VR lip on my Jetta got trashed by the snow and ice.....and I haven't even put my cup kit on yet!

So about 2.5 feet of snow, took 6 people to get my, and 6 other cars off my street yesterday. Oh, and it was incredibly cold yesterday, Like really cold.

Today is okay, but i can guarantee that my street won't be plowed for a week, and that instead they'll come by everyday and drop tons of salt, and cause my car to die due to rust

It's Canada man. The border is literally a 4' wall of snow.

I fell hypothermic just thinking about the place.
