Title: SNOW!!
Post by: Appelmoes?? on Fri, 2005-11-25, 17:50:23
No, not the Spock's Beard album, but real snow.

Here in the Netherlands it has been snowing all day since 2:00 am. All the traffic is jammed since we dutchies aren't prepared for "heavy" (15 cm/6 inches) snowfall.
But what about the rest of the world?

Here's some pic's taken from my apartment:

We've got a 40% chance forecast for Saturday evening into Sunday. We've had a couple of snowfalls here in the Denver area: including one heavy one back in October before the leaves had even fallen.

What is heavy snowfall in Denver?

It's not unheard of to get two feet of snow -- or more -- in one storm. A few years ago, we had one that lasted two days and I think we got 33 inches (a few centimeters short of a meter).
The one we got in October was 14 inches here (about 6 cm, I suppose)
Snowfall can vary greatly in the Denver metro area, depending on altitude, which varies by a few hundred feet in different places, and on proximity to the mountains. Denver itself is on a high desert plain. The mountains are just to the west. If we get wind out of the east with moisture and it climbs up the slope of the mountains, then we get heavy snow. If the wind is from the west, the winds blow "downslope" and it heats the air. Often those storms result in nothing here but wind, even though the mountains to the west get buried.
There's today's meteorology lesson.
Next time we have a good storm, I'll plug in my webcam and post the IP address.

Cool.
As in 'cold'.

Today (and yesterday) I felt like hell. My head hurts, my neck hurts, my stomach is rolling over. And today I had a test at school, so I couldn't miss it. So I went to school in this @#$% weather, and now I feel worse than ever.
Oh, tomorrow I celebrate my late birthday with my family. So this is not good.

Oh yes... snow is cool.
Romantic too.
But the wind is the problem I guess.

Sorry, but the only Snow I can see is the 3 disc box set, but since you have already said that that is NOT what you are talking about I'll just shut up.

Another reason to... "let it snow, let it snow, let it snow..."

The road'll be all white and... but the bitches are out with their salt solution and shit, aren't they?
