The "I hate weather" thread.

[Andrew]

We've had 0-2 celsius past couple days and going to stay that way for a couple more. And we had showers/rain. So now all our snow is gone. A green Christmas.

[Dragoon Knight]

Over the last three days, it has snowed.  While cycling to work, this meant that I had to deal with the dreaded grey-brown slush of death on the roads.  You know; the stuff that looks loose enough to plow through, but in fact supports only enough of your weight to cause the wheels to slip.

Now, thanks to the temperature staying at a baltic -2

[Mahdi]

We had a thaw for a few days.  Back to -28 with the windchill today.

It really bothers me how people in this country dramatise winter.

"The country has ground to a halt, people are unable to get to work, there's ice on the roads..." blah blah blah. All overstated of course, people can still get to work, mostly. But seriously, when the newsreader gets excited over "five centimetres of snow!" then you can't help but grimace at the hyperbole.

[Khan]

I had 3 cancelled trains. Some things did bugger up which is pretty baffling.

Yesterday +11

Today -1 but with snow and wind. Roads suck. Plow came by once today.

We got the cold weather starting tonight and ending in 2 days.

[Andrew]

Crap. Wind warning for tomorrow.

100km/h winds. Lots and lots of rain.

Thankfully were missing the snow storm. Halifax is getting winter storm warning and storm surge warning. 110km/h winds and one location that's always windy is getting 160km/h winds.

EDIT:

Strong winds. Power struggling to stay on, flickering, but no full failure yet. Gonna watch a movie on computer anyway. :P

EDIT:

Storm surge was worst I've seen. Most properties had damage. Some lost their decks, others moved their sheds. Probably water damage. Land lost in many areas including where 1/2 of electricity comes from (although cable is underground).

Damn weather almost stopped me from flying again.  Only 40cm of snow and the country seems to stop.

[Khan]

About 8cm where I live. Whee snow day.

[Nyarlathotep]

Damn weather almost stopped me from flying again.  Only 40cm of snow and the country seems to stop.

I left the office at 16:11 yesterday. I arrived home at 23:20. Normally speaking, it would only take me approx. 30 minutes.

All because of a bit of snow (10 - 15 cm's) and icy roads.

[Dunenewt]

I hope it clears up soon, I'm supposed to be going to Nijmegen next weekend!

[Nyarlathotep]

Should be okay, though there will be flight delays. I did read some troubling stories regarding

the weather over the weekend here in The Netherlands, though not as bad as it's in the UK at the moment.

Save travel :)

[Dunenewt]

I'm travelling by train, shouldn't take more than a couple of hours hopefully!

[Nyarlathotep]

heavy snowfall predicted. It'll start tonight and won't stop untill tomorrow afternoon.

For your sake I hope trains remain scheduled as they are :)

[Dunenewt]

Sorry, I don't mean this weekend, I mean the next one.  There's currently a blizzard here at the moment though.

[Andrew]

A bit of rain, and a wind warning.

Yes you heard correct. Rain and +6 Celsius in January!

Suck on that Florida!

Sadly the wind will make it colder in the house cause it's not airtight. But warmer outside! Yippee.

[SandChigger]

It's practically balmy over here as well.

[Andrew]

Spring is over. Snowfall warning and blowing snow warning.

There was barely any snow on ground yesterday. :(

And it's going to get cold this week with -20 at night.

[atomicar]

Well the weather here in Mpumalanga ,South Africa is a bit abnormal the last couple of months.

It is summer here in december , january always hot however we seem to have 1 week summer then 1 week winter continously for the last 2 months.Our rainfall for 2008 was 800mm ,in 2009 was 1100mm.So the weather here does seem to be a little differant more colder and more wet.

Not complaining though ,its nothing compared to what Europe is going through now with all that snow.  ??? ??? ???

[SandChigger]

Drove home through a mini-blizzard tonight. Not much accumulation in the end, but it knocked out the satellite reception for a while. First real snow here on the coast this winter. :P

[nampigai]

a storm is comming...well a blizzard to be accurate. Tomorrow we'll get more snow in Denmark. Funny really, people have been complaining about how we'll never have a white x-mas, and there wasn't snow anymore like in the "old days". Now we've had snow in nearly two months and what happens? People start comlaining.

Personally I prefer frost, blue sky and snow during winter instead of rain and greyish sky.

[Dunenewt]

I'm fed up of the cold weather here in Germany, I want a nice warm spell for once.

Our cold spell will be over today (-27 wind chill) and tomorrow -1 WOOT!!

Luckily no frostbite yet, but a couple times my hands got numb.

[Mahdi]

I haven't had to shovel my laneway since the Christmas Holidays.  I wonder if that's normal for this part of the country.

Yah it's odd, only a couple snowstorms this winter.

They were just saying last week I think that schools have been cancelled only once so far, and 2008-2009 year they had ~6 closures by this time (it was a running joke last winter that every time it snowed they cancelled school before it even started). And the day they did close this year everyone was panicked because we hadn't had snow recently. I had cancelled a nonimportant appointment, and it turned out I didn't need to. So everything had shutdown before it even started to get windy out. It was wet snow, so visibility was fine until night time. It's become kind of a surprise to see snow now. Must be making up for the wet summer we had.
