White Xmas?

[Jamie]

Who has had snow so far this festive season?

Just had our first serious snow fall in the last hour and it is still falling!

The view from my house over looking the garden. :D

Not like that here yet unfortunately, we're having light snow and it's starting to lay, so a few hours hopefully. Haven't had a decent white xmas since I was little, so fingers crossed.

Jamie :ot: Where abouts are you in West Yorkshire again?

I said last year that we wouldnt get any more snow, looks like I was wrong.


Where abouts are you in West Yorkshire again?


Halifax Paul. :)

We've had about an inch though most of it melted yesterday. It's bloody cold though - it got down to -3 overnight last night.

[Jamie]

-6 here overnight apparently. Boy I can't wait for the xmas dinner!

I was at the Cleveland Browns game yesterday. We don't have a fancy dome like the Colts in Indy (nor do we have a good team like in sonicgroup's home town). So Amy and I sat outside with our backs to Lake Erie, and enjoyed -20 weather (with windchill) while we watched our home team get destroyed for the eighth game in a row. Oh yeah, we also have about 15 inches of snow ;)

It's so pretty, even if it's cold and a pain in the ass.

Halifax Paul. Smile

Ah yes, somewhat similar to where I live ;)

-6 here overnight apparently.

Not sure what it got to here, but it was freezing, and being only 20 min drive from the coast doesn't help either ;)

Boy I can't wait for the xmas dinner!

Me niether!! Same again boxing day too, except going to the pub for a drink after ;)

and enjoyed -20 weather

Just noticed your post Paul, I think I'll move to California it's warm in the winter :lol:

[Jamie]

Wow! Why does America always get a lot of snow? And you complain that England is cold. :lol:

[Corey Bryant]

Being it 75-80 here right now, - no snow is in the forecast. Might be able to see some on the drive up to Vegas though.

[the_pm]

We don't complain England is cold. We complain it's cold and dreary :) When we get snow, it's absolutely beautiful! Here's a small piece of my view looking at our fresh fallen snow from my office:

(don't mind the window glare). From April until October, it's shorts weather here, between 60-95 Fahrenheit (16-35 Celcius?). We start getting snow in December - that's when the golf clubs get put up for the winter. And when we get snow, it's just breathtaking! I wish I could show you Amy's house in the snow, but you guys have seen my house and my block in the winter, right? Actually, just the other admins, I think. Here's what I come home to in the winter:

I couldn't imagine not having this weather. It just wouldn't feel like the holidays without it :)

<Jamie starts singing> "Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow" :lol: Very nice Paul.

Bookmakers have slashed the odds on a traditional white Christmas this year, believing it more likely than at any time in the past quarter of a century.

William Hill has announced that festive flakes are an odds-on shot for the first time in 25 years.

Hills has now cut the odds of the chances of snow falling in Glasgow from 7/4 to 8/11 and in Aberdeen from 7/4 to 5/6 - and has also reduced a London white Christmas from 5/1 to 11/4, and made Cardiff 13/2 from 8/1.


Looking good!

I do miss the snow. I remember one year in Texas, it still snowed in April. I think that is why it never feels like Christmas out here. Heck, I am still mowing the yard. But if we move to Denver - I'll get to finally see a lot of snow & get back to the slopes

I was at the Cleveland Browns game yesterday. We don't have a fancy dome like the Colts in Indy (nor do we have a good team like in sonicgroup's home town).

:lol: The city just came to a "handshake" agreement with the Colts Saturday night for a new 30 year lease that includes a new stadium (retractable roof, 65,000 seats - like the Texans' stadium).

Real fans sit out in below-0 weather, freezing their goolies off, watching football being played like it was meant to be played - in the snow, mud and rain. That's football!

(can we have a dome? Please? Please? Please?)

[Christina]

I miss having a slurpee from 7 Eleven when it's snowing outside :lol: I don't miss living in Michigan weather though ;) And I for surely don't miss having 90 degree hotness in Florida either!! :lol:

Hah! Real fans go to a bar with a big screen and drink all afternoon with a group of buddies while playing some 9-ball. (It's what I did yesterday during the Colts game :D )

[the_pm]

Now that sounds like one hell of an afternoon, especially if there's money on the 9-ball games. Nothing like a couple hundred bucks here and there to make the game interesting, especially if you have good entertainment on the tube (that's TV for you UK people, not the subway ;) )

[Jamie]

You call TV a tube? :lol::lol: Why not a box? ;)

[the_pm]

That too, Jamie. There are a ton of names for it ;)

[sonicgroup]

We call it a tube because that's what's in it - a cathode ray tube. :P

[daniel]

jamie how come you get all the snow,

Huddersfield must have been just at the end of the snow cloud, we got it to snow for about 10 mins and melt in about 10 seconds.

anyway ive booked the snow for the 25th ;)

[Tjobbe]

well ive booked snow since winter officially began this year and havent yet had a flake so im going to sue!
