] > Discuss. I love the snow. Here in the east coast USA we are reaching near record breaking low temperatures and a few weeks ago had a huge storm with over a foot of snow!
Ah ha, the good old UK. Every year we get snow,every year roads/rail/airports get delays !!! We get a bit of rain, there's flooding !!! We get no rain , there's a drought !!! ;)
The temperature has been as low as -16C here in Edinburgh. Fair amount of snow too, at most maybe five or six inches deep. I was in Inverness over the New Year and that felt even colder, and there was certainly more snow there, being a lot further north and all.
Here in Scranton, PA (Northeastern US) it is cold, but it will be getting colder over the next few days and we are getting a little snow here too. Our schools delay an hour and a half when the air temp is in the single digits (F), as if that hour an a half makes SO much difference when it is like 5 degrees F out there. Yeah, in that hour and a half, it may get all the way up to...gee, 7 or 8 degrees F lol! The superintendant of the schools is a moron. :D We didn't get that heavy snow that Washington D.C. and those areas got (it missed us) but we have gotten our fair share of 2 foot snowfalls. :) ~LittleEarthAngel~
>Global warming FTW, why is the weather getting colder? Why can't it get hotter!? Well that depends on how you view the effects of global warming. It would get colder in Winter if you believe that the temperature rise is melting the ice around the north pole, which in turn reduces the salt content of the North Atlantic, which then means we receive less warmer air from the Gulf of Mexico because of the way the currents work (fresh water from the ice caps being less dense than salt water in the ocean). But that's a totally different debate, including whether
we
are actually responsible for Global Warming at all :p
here in vienna, it's very cold. too cold as usuall, and we had too much snow here this year.
well, an ulra-late answer from Aachen, Germany; We have (better: had) alot of snow here. It was coldest winter of last 5 years! Just 5 years ago, i remember we had snow in Aachen. Best Regards, Barbarvssa
