We went just a little above the 273,15 K mark today, but the wind's awfully cold.
A few months back all of traffic here was in chaos over 20 cm of snow, we can't handle winter at all.

Indeed, when I was younger there wasn't any snow-days and the weather was completely terrible, kids nowadays get No school if there's like 4 inches of snow rather then 4 feet.
Most places don't have the kind of vehicles that can deal with that amount of snow. Taunton does a terrible job plowing the streets and we have a decent number of people who have plows on their pickups. It's damned laughable.
Yeah my place of business is still open, HOWEVER, they said "use your own judgement if you can come in or not."
I judged I could not and have been playing WoW all day.
Are you kidding me? Our city has the strategy of waiting for warmer weather (Chinooks) to come through and clear the roads. Side streets remain covered in snow and ice til april!
lol that's just weird, toronto usually un-plowed snow will melt in about march. but by then it's just a mud-snow mess.
Here in Australia, winter=no snow unless you live up in the Alps or in Tasmania, where it snowed for 3 minutes this summer while I was on holiday bushwalking there with my mum. I like winter way more than summer because I love the rain and cool cloud formations, the fact I can rug up in 4 layers of clothing(IDK why, but I like this) and the lack of heat! I get too dazed by summer. This summer has been cooler and wetter but the glare and sickening heat rays just ruin it for me! My favourite season is definitely autumn, though. The mix of rain, mild weather, tree leaves both falling and staying green which creates a lovely effect (eucalypts are evergreens) and that odd scent in the air just makes it so...soothing. Plus we get the least homework in autumn for some reason.
jesus this ice storm sucks.
there's a one-inch thick sheet of ice on all the sidewalks.
although we have passed the 273.15 Kelvin mark.

So I am in Michigan. They kept saying since Saturday this day was going to be the Snowpocalypse, or the Snownami. Some said 12 inches, some said 17 inches, some said it was going to snow from 5pm (yesterday) to 7pm (today). 26 hours. It DID start around 5, and we do have about 9 inches, but this snow storm of course was over-exaggerated. I even heard rumors of "snow-lightning" which I never even heard of until last night.
That being said, it is only 10am right now and its still snowing, although lightly, and no where near is bad as it was last night. I am not quite ruling it out yet, perhaps the weather is just tricking us and going to hit us hard later.
Being a teacher, I am glad. I was really hoping for a snow day. I have been hoping for one for a long while. I am glad it finally is happening.

Yeah, I've definitely hiked through worse storms then this to get to school. I guess that the U.S. is getting hit so bad all us canadians are thinking that we should duck and cover as well.
I don't remember that one in '03, I would have been in grade four or five. I have gotten a half day from snow in highschool (three years ago) but that's all I can remember as far as snowdays go.
Last night was horrible. Thankfully the snow drifts were pretty small, but I couldn't even stand outside for long. The wind and snow were pretty intense. I'm actually glad I had to go home at Midnight since that means less cars on the road. I think I'm going to stay at home today.
