Here Today... Gone To Hell!

So, the snow has finally hit salt lake city, utah, this is our first major snow-storm here and it's December 13th. It's snowing pretty hard right now, and we are expecting to get five inches by the end of today, and it will continue through at least monday, but it will taper off after this afternoon.

So, how about you guys? Snowing where you live? You Like snow? Hate it?

We had SOME snow here on the East Coast (CT) last weekend.  Not too much to speak of though,  But I had to drive back home from Boston while it was snowing and my car got all dirty from the sand, salt, snow, etc.  It rained this week, so that washed away some of that crap.  I may need a trip to the car wash soon though to finish it off.  It's been awhile.

I like the snow as long as I don't have to go out and drive in it.  I once did a 540 degree turn on the highway when I slipped on some snow/ice in the fast lane.  I ended up facing oncoming traffic.  Luckily I ended up in the breakdown lane after brushing up against the highway divider and traffic was light so I didn't hit anyone.  I calmly turned my car back in the RIGHT direction and continued on home.  I thought my car must've been f'ed up after hitting the divider, but it was real minimal damage luckily.  Just some scraped paint and my front bumper was hanging just a little.  So all in all I don't like driving in the snow very much.

I also like snow early on in winter but by the time February rolls around, enough is enough.  Bring on the warm weather.

Works for me, got some the other week, took some pictures:

Dammit, I thought this was the cocaine discussion thread.

I was out there skiing in November at Brighton. I didn't even have to wear a hat and switched out of my wool sweater in lieu of a lighter fleece. It was also warmer in the valley then it was in Florida.

Yes, it was really nice in November, but the past week the weather has turn very wintry, and it looks to continue through Monday lol.

How is flordia weather this time of year?

Perfect, with a high chance of more perfect through the week.

Damn Hammy u rich bastard. And I felt bad for u having to mail me a prize.

I love it, teaching the dog to pull sledge and can go skiing :D

A) It's semi-detached

and

B) Since I still live at home, it's my folks house

and

C) Your prize is coming, chill  :P

You're one lucky dude. It's like 28 degrees here and the wind is blowing lol. Far from perfect. I have to go shopping today. LOL.  : ok:

nothing like getting out and running in 30 degree snowy weather : ok:

Just the looks from everyone thinking u are insane is hilarious

Why are you here posting when you should be skiing? That's WORLD CLASS snow you have at your disposal. Get up there.

Yes. Love it and hate it. Wanna move to Cali.

Yeah? What's stopping you?

I have never seen snow.

You make me sick to my stomach.  :no:

The economy. Or should I say, my economy,

no chance of snow where I live. It is 71 degrees ( F ) at midnight!

LOL. It's actually our economy. It's our fault the economy is where it is. That's what I say.  :crying:

I make myself sick to my stomach.

My old man has always hated the snow.  That's the number one reason he left New York City for sunny L.A..  And he never took me.   :(

But come this winter, a bunch of friends and I are going to rent a cabin out in Big Bear for the weekend and go snowboarding.  I can't wait!  I've waited my whole life to play in the snow.

Snowball fights.

Making snow angels and snowmen/women.

And sitting in front of the fireplace with a special someone with a cup of hot chocolate, marshmallows optional.

 :love:

Snow is great on my terms only.

Living in it is something else entirely, although I still don't mind it that bad.

Yes, I walk a mile to work each day and I'm getting more and more used to this stuff. It brings such a sense of adventure with it.

When I was 20 I had a job wrapping firewood. We'd unload a huge truck, then pile up the wood for the guy who would cut it down. There was this medieval looking hand operated "machine" to place the wood in so you could create the bundle. At the bottom was a roll of large plastic wrap. You'd place a few pieces in, wrap the plastic around twice, then throw in a flyer and do another wrap around. When you were done with that, you'd staple in the handles. I think I got paid 10-20 cents a bundle or something.

I walked to that job, often in the snow and remember one morning it was 9 degrees. So cold, but doing that kind of work, I was down to my flannel, and then had that wrapped around my waist within an hour or so. I kind of enjoyed it in a way...but not really.  :hihi:

Yes!! Snow here in Wa state as well, started Friday and by Sunday around 5 inches at my house, absolutely bitter cold, about 18 degrees at 7 pm, its now 10 pm and I don't know, havent been driving cuz i'm chickens shit in the ice lol.

LOL. I'm scared of the ice as well. there is currently wide-spread panic across the nation over winter weather that has come on suddenly.

We had to shut down one of our freight centers because there was three inches of ice on the streets.

Still snowing here, I haven't seen so much snow since i don't know when, it is absolutely beautiful.  You have to understand I live in the woods, with basically no neighbors, it is pretty much about us and nature, really it's breathtaking!!! Will put a picture up later.

Yesterday was my first outing since Sunday, my husband does all the driving, he is not bothered at all by the weather and is a great driver in it, while I am nothing except white knuckled, so I just stay pretty close to home. Took keys away from daughter who is 18, has no real experience and drives a mustang, she had a royal fit in the beginning :rant:  but seems to understand now, and by the way, yes she is 18, but mummy and daddy own the vehicle she drives. ( Ha gotcha).

All we've got is a Frosted Flakes like coating.  Mostly sleet, so far, which really sucks since it's dangerous as a MF.

garry you've never seen snow and you're 20.. that's fucking crazy

Man HUGE SNOW STORM here in Illinois its gona be big

Yeah, but I can go surfing in January.  8)

Snowmaggedon heading for Canada the weather man says.

well, that's crazy too by my standards  ;) not that winter in southern sweden is anything to cheer for but still

Las Vegas got a huge snow storm today, they had to shut down the airport.

And the freight terminals for that matter.  :'(

it was yesterday.   the most snow LV has seen since 1979.  but it had all melted away in the valley by noon today.

I'm on the outskirts of Seattle, already have a foot easily and are expecting a storm over the weekend as well, gonna have to buy some hip- waiters, cuz my regular boots are filling up with snow :rant:

Yeah, life sucks does it. LOL.

We had a huge snow-storm today but finally stoped an hour ago. But, we probably got 6-8 inches today.

The rest of the weekend is supposed to be just 1-2 inches more.

Are you on the east coast?  I just shoveled the driveway a couple hours ago.  What fun!  We're supposed to get another messy storm with a wintry mix on Sunday, and then another possible storm on X-Mas eve.  Looks like it'll be a White Christmas for sure.

this weather is horse shit!   :rant:

We had a low of 37 degrees Thursday morning, seriously man WTF.

I'm actually around the rocky mountain area in Salt Lake City. We're actually used to this stuff. Somewhat...


LOL. As we speak it's only 20 degrees here in salt lake city. And, the highest it will get is 35 tomorrow afternoon.

Down in this so called hole we live in, it was only like 10 degrees last evening while my husband was outside insulating our outdoor well, and all the spickets on the outside of the house.  We are expecting I believe another storm coming in this afternoon, which is suppost to bring with it some extremely high winds.  I am a little worried I must say as I live so remotely, but I'm sure all will be well, just gonna sit back keep enjoying the beauty of it all.

I'm going to the New England Patriots game tomorrow and it's supposed to snow in the morning and turn to a wintry mix later in the day.  It's gonna be a mess.  So much so that we have one extra ticket and can't find anyone to take it.  People are scared off by the snow apparently.  We have tents and heaters for the tailgating so the cold won't be a factor, plus once you get inside the stadium the heat generated by the 60,000 fans keeps you from freezing.  I just don't understand.  It's a big, meaningful game and what's better than football in the snow?  Of course I'm not driving to the game, I'm hitching a ride, so I don't have to worry about that.  If I had to drive myself, then I could sympathize with those that have turned the tickets down.

Anybody want to go?

us maritimers sure are gettin it some bad tonight  :o

What a shitty fucking game that was today. Awesome on TV though the way the snow was. Second only to the Seattle/NYJ game.

I love horrible weather football games.

NE will be crazy if they let Cassel walk. Those numbers in THAT weather. Unbelievable.

So, someone in Mass. obviously thought the snow was too much for him, and took
a torch to the snow and accidentially set his house on fire:

My thoughts: Not a very smart decision lol.

I wish we could have a white Christmas every once in a while.

I have my ac on.

I'm so jealous lol.  ;D

My heater has been on for weeks now lol.

I ran 6 miles last night, and it was so cold, when I got inside, my jacket had ice on it! :hihi: :hihi: :hihi: :hihi:

If I may rant for just a sec.... I am so sick of this snow, it has been 15 days since I have driven my own vehicle anywhere.  Everytime I wish to go somewhere, I have to depend on my husband to drive me, I feel like a bear in hibernation, did I even spell that right?  K I am officially finished, get my point though? :rant:

I kinda like this cold snap.  Sure, temperatures are way above freezing here, but I enjoy wearing my sweaters and jackets for a change.

LOL. Did you have to run 6 miles or was it personal choice?

why would a person "HAVE" to run that many miles? HAHA would be damn scary if something was after u to make u run that far.

If Jason or micheal Myers ever got after me, they'd just say fuck it and find someone else to kill.


Actually I had to due to half marathon training and it was a personal choice due to health/weight etc.

Ah, well I wish you luck my friend. I walked ten miles once but was in July, and that was cause I had to as well.  : ok:

This winter is going to kill me! I won't drive in the snow, so I have had to spend 2 nights at the hospital I work at , this month! January better be better than December!

yea today i went outside for maybe 2 mins and my hair was like frozen iceicles

85 degrees here and not a cloud in sight.

I'm surprised that it hasn't snowed here in Ireland. Its definitely been cold enough.

holly shit its cold here in Illinois im wearin my leather jacket outside this morning and it was still fuckin cold

i wish it was cold here   :-\

LOL. It's been about 39-44 as highs here in slc which is actually pretty warm for slc. Doesn't look like we will suffer from the inversion.

Plus, we haven't had snow since the 5th, so it's been a nice January so far.  :peace:

I don't want snow but it supposed to tonight.

snowday is a nice day to have a woman over and bang her

uhh supposed to snow tonight but i dont have one ???

I'd sue the weather channel for emotional turmoil.

T-shirt and shorts today.

Drove with the AC on and the windows rolled down.

I don't like the snow! ;D

It never seems to really snow here in Chattanooga TN but it is 19 degrees which is super cold for here......

I'd actually take snow...ya know, 6 to 10 inches of it...over the weather we're getting right now.

It was 8 below 0 this morning when I left the house.  8 fucking below 0.  It warmed up slightly as I headed south, to work, and the sun got a bit further up in the sky.  It's a balmy 12 degrees outside, right now, in the sun.   :rant:

God, I hate the cold.  

Oh yeah, I'd love a foot of snow. at least then College would be cancelled. damn 10 degrees this morning. driving to school and then having to walk half a mile to class SUCKS! Especially since I just own  a thin assed Hoodie cause normally here, we don't need a big ass winter coat.

Utah is actually the 2nd dryest state in the u.s. So, it looks like it will stay dry up through the 19th at least. Funny weather we have here.

Wow!! Back in the day I lived in Tri-Cities and it snowed and snowed, that is one thing I really always enjoyed about Tennessee, always went tubin, and school would be out for a week sometimes :yes:

Hasn't been much snow here in Lou, KY.  Temps have been in single digits plenty the past few days though.

Ya that's to damn cold to snow.

Finally snowed last night.  Got a smooth covering in the neighborhood.

Too bad I have to drive somewhere.

we got some flurries today.

Mmmm....more snow! :D

Shit thats a lot of snow but it was like -30 with windsheald factor last week on thurs and friday it Illinois

I'd rather have it snow than be this cold!
It's snowed a decent bit here in Ct. so far, but damn, I don't think it's been above freezing in weeks!

It's been raining for two straight days here.

I'm going to kill myself.

We have fog now in salt lake city. You can't see a thing. I have to use my cell phone for my bus to see me lol.  :confused:

It was up to like 48 today, and yet we still had a huge mass of fog. Very un-usual. It was like the movie the Fog. ha ha.

But, eventually the snow will come again and push this stuff out of here.

Fuck where im at there are 3 potentional storms this week

Western Europe hit by heavy snow (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/7864596.stm)




/jarmo

It's been snowing and hailing and god knows what else here today. It's quite calm just now though, the snow is falling softly. Though I expect the hail will be back soon to bombard the windows some more....

It snowed.  Alot....then being South East England, it decided to give up and resort to what it does best.  A nasty cold drizzle that's rapidly turning the few cm of snow we did have into something resembling a week old slush puppy.

I'm actually quite disappointed.  Watching the weather forecast for this area yesterday, you'd think the apocalypse was about to arrive.  I was expecting to have to wade through the snow just to get to my car.  As it was, I hardly got my feet wet.

Mind you, given the chaos on the roads after a few cm...... god knows what'll happen if we actually get the predicted snowfall.......

So, over the weekend, the south east and other places received much unexpected snowfall in march.

At my company, our call center in Richmond, Virginia closed so it was just us in Salt Lake City on monday and we had people working from 5 am to 5 p.m. lol.  I worked from 7-4, and there were absolutely zero breaks between calls.

Just wanted to mention how funny this is because in salt lake city, we would never cancel work because of snow. ever.

But, the snow did affect a lot of people this week. A lot of businesses ended up shutting down.

god its almost time now by where i live where the crazy shifts in weather will end no more snow till Fall hahaha

Yeah, it's been sun-shining again here in slc.

Gonna be a high of 61 tomorrow.
