Enough Snow Already!

In my little neck of the woods we just hit the 84" (7 feet) mark of snow for the winter yesterday. More snow to fall tonight, Thursday, and Saturday.

Anyone else having as much fun as we are?

Winter, for once, has been quite decent in South Dakota. We still have snow, but it usually melts at the rate it comes at.

We got a day of ice and the city shut down during the winter. That was fun.

how much snow did you guys really get? i missed it!

NC had about 3 weeks of below freezing and snow in December. Most of the rest of the winter has felt almost like spring.

New York is finally snow free!! I had about 1-2 feet of snow outisde for about 2 months until it was sunny a few days and a bit warm. Also, it rained more and now the snow is gone! Hooray!! Now I just hope that it doesn't snow anymore. Most snow I've ever had in a winter here.

I've never seen snow in my life. I live in Hawaii so we don't have that much snow

When you say New York you should mention it's your New York. This is my New York:

I have snowbanks taller than I am.

I think you guys are lucky to be able to have snow

It's not as enchanting when you actually have to live with it.

**alohaex** · 03-08-2011, 06:45 PM

Must be cold they show the mainland here and all the chaos snow cause but yet still I would like to see snow at least once

**Dudebro** · 03-08-2011, 06:46 PM

Lightweights, it's just snow.

@Alohaex- Just wait for winter to visit a state with snow. It's best to get used to it in small amounts if it's new to you. Btw, if it's yellow don't eat it.

**alohaex** · 03-08-2011, 06:49 PM

It is winter now but no snow just lots of rain and thunder storms

**Dudebro** · 03-08-2011, 06:51 PM

Lots of rain and thunderstorms and it's Hawaii? Damn that sounds like one of the coolest places on earth.

**alohaex** · 03-08-2011, 07:00 PM

In Oahu yes but were I am it's kinda boring

**RU Joe** · 03-08-2011, 07:00 PM

We had a couple of good snowstorms, but nothing stayed for more than a few days.

Tenser, you'll probably hate me but I just opened my windows yesterday for the first time all winter.
Vancouver has snowdrops, crocuses, and daffodils popping up already - it seems spring is already here.

**alohaex** · 03-08-2011, 07:02 PM

Our problems have to do with flooding

**Kugyince** · 03-08-2011, 08:17 PM

My issue is that I live in a valley between two major mountain ranges which is just east of the largest lake system in the world. We get this interesting meteorological phenomenon called "Lake Effect Snow" in spades. There are areas closer towards Buffalo/Rodchester that get 15 - 20 feet annually.

@DB: I just looked up Boston's average yearly snowfall. At a measly 42" you've got no room calling anyone a lightweight.

**Dudebro** · 03-08-2011, 08:40 PM

Maybe you should move if you can't take it? I hear Boston is nice this time of year.

But really though I lived in Maine too. Without looking up averages I know we had snow taller than me, regularly.

**RU Joe** · 03-08-2011, 08:51 PM

So what I hear you guys saying is that your winters can be almost as bad as Canadian winters, eh?

You still haven't experienced it fully until you've wintered in a place like Winnipeg {nickname Winter Pig} or my beloved Northern Alberta, where the wind howls at -40 C.
One morning it was -60 C with the windchill, and I turned to my boss and said:
'Do we REALLY have to go to work today?'

**Kugyince** · 03-08-2011, 09:32 PM

@DB: It has nothing to do with "being able to take it." Don't imply that I'm some sort of snow pansy just because I'm tired of Winter and ready for Spring.

@JG: While it certainly gets colder in Winnipeg, we average twice the yearly snowfall. 110cm a year (roughly 36" w/out calculating) is paltry. We average about the same as Montreal does for snowfall which is around 226cm. Near Rodchester they get around 450cm of snowfall a year. Canadia's more cold than snow for the most part.
