It's too bad the Pacific Northwest gets the occasional ice storm that makes driving treacherous but never enough snow to make seasoned pros.

Its been spitting snow all day. Tonight's low is predicted to be 2 degrees. We'll warn up to a balmy 27 for Thanksgiving.

Nov. 24th - HOTT.

I was in Maine this summer and it was HOTT - hotter than it's ever been IIRC. In Maine. MAINE!

It's still hott out IN oHIO -70 degrees (that's about 400 F for our Euro Pals)

but...the ice caps aren't melting.

at all..

Snicker.

I thought it was Be Safe Be Seen Day today. I wore my custom made t-shirt. As it was quite garish by the-rest-of-the-world's standards, I wore my knitted cape over the top. Halfway to school I realise that NONE OF THE CHILDREN I am walking past are in anything other than school uniform. Uh-oh. Turns our FRIDAY is Wear Something Bright Day. I was right not to take my cloak off as I wanted to. (Dad came out to deliver me another top - neither of the 'rents are really talking to me right now)

Although funnily enough, the teachers are already making plans for Friday on the possibility of snow. Just working out lunchtimes and replacements for outside PE, but they're taking it seriously. I hope it snows, but for once I've a reason not to want a heavy snowfall - the school will be closed and no-one will see my creation!

Spray Deicer works well on frozen doors as well as frosted windows. Just make sure you don't leave it in the car

Our cold spell has broken.
Each of the 167 tomorrows will be back to the normal drizzle and rain with temp above freezing.

Happy Thanksgiving to all Dwellers in the US ...

(P.S. apologies to Canadian Dwellars for overlooking yours ... will do better next October)

Ah ha ha. Joke's on us. Today was 80. Tomorrow will be 75. Tomorrow night will be... 35. Grrrrreat.

Perhaps the most significant thing in the article is the question posed in the last sentence.

What gets me is when I hear things like: 'Britain is experiencing an extreme weather event'

And there was I thinking it had just snowed in December.

Yer having a laugh

It's chaos in scotland, the M8 main motorway from edinburgh to Glasgow has just re-opened after being closed for 3 days.
They had to send the army in to rescue people trapped in cars.
-18 last night and not much bloody warmer tonight.
Just snowed!!!!!!
BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR............

I didn't say there wasn't a lot of snow :p

rather: It's December and it's snowing. The degree of shock, surprise, panic and general noise enusing from that fact is disproportionate.

It's a pain in the arse. It's disruptive to transport and services, and sometimes people get caught out and endangered by their exposure to the elements.

It's still just snow in December.

El Nino, Hurricane Katrina, a mini ice-age, tsunamis, large-scale flooding, a country wide freeze lasting several months, or a whiteout in Summer. These things are extreme weather events.

Ain't it the truth? I've said the same about our local news. Snow is coming. Well gee, it's winter in Ohio, snow is to be expected. The local news stations get all atwitter screaming "The White Death is coming. The White Death is coming. RUN!"
