Hey there! Seattle is getting the first sno of the season (well got).
We had 2-3 inches at my house and up north they had 2-6 inches and of course the mountains got 2-4 feet.
However, arctic air has seeped in for instance, todays high temp was 29F and our expected low is 19F
Unfortunatly the snow on my road was plowwed >:( because the plow had to take a detour since its ussual street was having road work done on it! >:( :roll:
Well, Seattles average high temp for this time of the year is I think 45F and the low is 36-37F, so were well below normal
----
The unuasul thing about it is that Seattle is not forecasted to go above freezing (32/0) for at least the next 10 days!
Forecast:
Mon: 27/28 .... 17 clear
Tue: 26/27 .... 19 clear
Wed: 29/30 .... 24 SNOW
Thur: 27 ...... 15 SNOW
Fri: 24 ....... 14/15 partly cloudy
Sat: 27 ....... 18 SNOW
etc.
Forecasters even indicated a possible white Christmas :D :D :D
So, how are AM player's winters going?
-
You really shouldn't say winter. *nods to the southern hemisphere*
Well here in Reno its snowing right now as i write this (10:20pm Pacific time)
It's been snowing for an hours or 2 now, and ment to carry out all night and into the day tomorrow. So hopefully a school delay just might happen :) .
-
How much snow do you need to have before school is canceled in America?
Here in NZ the whole city shuts down after about 1 inch of snow :roll: We see people riding Kayaks down the hill roads.
Me and my friends usually just walk out of school and go to the mall when it starts snowing heavily (although it hasnt really snowed a lot at all here for about 2 years now)
-
Well, here in Reno we only see a certain amount of Snow, as Reno is a valley, so the mountains still all the snow :P . But about ever 2 to 3 years we get a big snow storm. I have had a whole week or more of school canceled from one storm. But, id rather have a delay, as a delay you don't make up at the end of the year, but a canceled school day, you make up.
-
You have to make up school days!? That would suck...
During the heavy snows we had at school, it was always closed at around lunchtime (after me and my friends had left...) so we never had to make up a day.

Put it this way. if their is a dusting on the grass, people will freak out. If we get 1 inhc over everything and nothing melts. Boom. School is closed. 8)
Today we got a 2-hour delay. :D
Im crossing my fingers for Wednesday-Friday for no school 8)
-
In the NYC/Boston/DC area: you need to be practically buried. It better not snow in NYC because I'll have to practically dig my way to my exams.
On the west coast? 1/2 inch.
-
we got a couple inches today, but my county didn't make a delay or cancel school. As last year they made some delays for only a bit of snow, and parents got mad as they had to find ways to get someone to watch there kids for the delay. So this year, my county is being very careful. To Careful, as it was a mess getting to school.
-
Well, Sunday nights low temp of 19F, broke the record! :)
today: 15F....with wind chill around 0-5F :o
between 3-8 inches of snow in the period of Tue-Thurs..... which means a 99% chance of closure :)
-
We got snow here in Vancouver too! It started snowing on Fri. , but that was only slush, but on Saturday night, it snow real hard. We got 5cm in like just 1 hour. It was pretty cool. Currently, there is about 5-7 cm of snow on the ground. The next snow in the forecast is on Sun., where 5-10cm will fall here. :P
-
Haha! All you suckers having winter! It's warm here!
It's been averaging around 20-22 Degrees C here (68-71 degrees F) for the last few weeks, and due to get warmer. Lovely. :D
It never, ever snows in Wellington. We have the odd heavy hail shower but that's it. It would never get below freezing here either.

If you think 2-3 inches is enough to close down school, try 12-13. :P Yeah, weather is crazy
here, but this is the only place on the world where it gets this bad. We had a day off
because of this...actually, AI already had a day off. The cheapskates at the Administrative
building gave everybody else. So please re-think your view of "large amounts of snow." You
live in Seattle, it should take more to shut down school - more or less give you a delay. ;)
Also, we have been canceled due to -50 degree wind chills. For those of you outside of the
US, of course I would be using Fahrenheit - that should be assumed. :P
-
Umm.... we are getting large amounts of snow... so before you get your Eastern "ohhh look at how much snow we get dont complain" you have to realize that In seattle the elevation goes up from 0 to 500 feet in less than a mile before going back down to 150 feet and then to 300. Its very hilly in Seattle, resulting in icy hills which no one can drive up or down. Plus were forecasted to get 4-8 inches of snow and about 6 inches on Sat-sun. :roll:
yet.... we get a 2 hour delay again even though there isnt to much snow left on the road ways :D
-
32 degrees celcius, and sunny today...no chance of snow I dont think :D
-
I got snow for the first time in years, but I don't think it counts, because I was in Prague at the time. If you are ever there and it snows take the funicular up to Petrin (lots of missing accents), its like Narnia up there! :D
-
School was cancelled today due to the threat of 1-2 inches of snow followed by some freezing rain and then 2-5 inches of more snow on top of that.
Wed: 34.....26 Snow
thur: 29.....17 Snow showers to sun
Fri: 24 ..... 11 COLD and sunny
Sat: 25 ..... 19 clear to cloudy
Sun: 29 ..... 20 snow
mon: 30 ...... 24 snow
tue: 31 ...... 19 snow to clear
yah..... very unussual weather! 8)

You've obviously never driven on the Saw Mill River Parkway. It's hilly AND curvy. ;)

Does the elevation go up from 0 to 500 to 300 to 400 in 1 mile? ;)
Well they cancelled school today.... and I'll we've seen is snow melt..... as the snow has been delayed because we got a Rain/Snow shadow. However they still said 2-5 inches for this evening :D
Yes, Seattlelites are pathetic, but the highest point in Seattle is like 650 feet high. Seattle is quite small, yet it can be snowing, raining, hailing, sunny, windy, cloudy, and foggy all at the same time in the city.....
-
I'm sure someone from Denver/Minneapolis/Northern Canada will come along and say that they have it the worst, to which I have to say I agree.
-
We have tons of snow in Texas.. It just melts before it falls... >.>
-
6.5 inches today, some places got up to 23 inches and alot of places got over a foot.... so even though everything was delayed... we got more than expected... now theres abot 3 inches of solid ice with another 2 inches of snow on the road..... I live on a hill that goes up from sea level to 400 feet over 8 blocks ^-^
school was cancelled today and is already cancelled for tomorrow as the high for tmrw is 26 and the low is 11!!! :P
Sat is 25 - 23
-

Even Las Vegas is getting snow. When i lived in Vegas, i remember it only snowing once in the 4 years i lived there.

We Denver-ites like to say how awful it is just to keep all you riff-raff away.
Snow rarely sticks around. We get 300 days of sunshine a year. And you can choose to go golfing or skiing (or both!) almost any day between October and June.
But seriously, Denver is cold and snowy. And cold. Really cold. And really snowy. Stay away.
:P

Today was a nice day, but this whole week has been a bugger. Most of my school days began at under 10F :(
-
We've got about 15 inches on the ground. Most of its been here since Thanksgiving. Woke up to a nice brisk temp of -7F.. Luckily the wind chill was only -16F this morning.
-
Ireland, nothing.
Russia, even though its -10 C, still nothing, just dirt and ice.
-

However, I did go skiing down my hill :D
-
Hey there! Seattle is getting the first sno of the season (well got).
We had 2-3 inches at my house and up north they had 2-6 inches and of course the mountains got 2-4 feet.

They gave SEattle a 50-50% chance of a white chirstmas where it snows.... however, there will be plenty of snow on the ground. ohh.... btw... If you read my above post we have 13 inches on the ground. ;)
-

-
Ow!!! I also have a chance of a White Christmas =D
-
White christmas? I'll be thinking of you guys sitting in your snow on christmas day when I'm eating my Xmas bbq by the pool in the sun ;) :lol:
Having Xmas during Summer is just so much better!
-
It sure is. I hope to have another summer Christmas next winter break
-
We have it snowing right now!
-
Well we have a great chance of a White Christmas now. Tuesday and Wednesday both have snow in the forecast. And lots of it
-
20-30cm of snow on the way!!! and then it will melt a little due to high temp. like 5C :(
-
ermm.... Vancouver is supposed toget 8-13 cm of snow.... with North Vancouver getting 14-20 at most...
Seattle is in for another 3-8 inches before turning to rain/snow then becoming snow on Xmas day with Trace-2/3 inches possible.
-
Im getting a Winter Storm warning from tomorrow at 10AM till Thursday afternoon
-
We have a Winter Storm Watch (issued before the warning)
for 3-8 inches of snow from late tonight through Christmas day.
-
Its still saying on the TV that were gonna get 30-40cm in Vancouver Dtwn. by tomorrow night...
I think its time to say that its TOO MUCH SNOW. :o
-
It still says 8-12 cm for all of Vancouver, except for North Van....
Maybe week long snow totalS? ???
-
I'd say Seattle would be right, as he is the snow expert :P
-

lol, of course I am :P
-
I guess he's right... but starting Dec. 27, we here will get rain till new years and on, and on, and on. Just like we were supposed to have during the winter. I cant believe New Orleans was snowing a few weeks ago!
-

WAIT... are you referring 8-13cm as inches? because 8 inches is 20 cm... and 13 inches is about 35-40cm...
-
We are having a white Christmas, just in the few hours we have 3in.
-
It didnt snow here on christmas day... we still had a white christmas day though... It snow on christmas eve and now its snowing on boxing day! :-X I'm kinda tired of snow now... what used to be a london drugs shop collapsed yesterday due to snow on the roof. good thing it there was nothing inside it...
-
no snow today. But the sun was out for a change, didn't really melt any of the snow. My street with lots of others haven't been plowed and probably wont be with State fund cuts and that. So that's not to good ^-^
-
The snow is finally completely off the roads.... but snow is looking to come back into the forecast today through New Years Eve...... and then again around the 4-8 on the new year.... wow. :lol:
-
So how's winter going up north?
It was 39°C (102°F) here yesterday :D Man I love the sun! :lol:
