The Republic of Heaven

This is the weather thread.

Complain about rain, snow, sleet, freezing rain, fog, mist, hurricanes, freak blizzards, tornadoes, tropical depressions, etc. here.

Or just comment upon the unnaturally warm weater, the frost, the concerning lack of snow, etc....

Let the classic small-talk begin.

Christmas is supposed to be white, not grey.

Green and brown, in my case!

There's a facebook group called "When I was young, we had snow at Christmas..."

I don't mind it not being 45 below zero this year, but seriously, the lack of snow is worrying. Who can honestly not believe global warming now?

There's a little snow outside but it isn't white christmas. I hate cold and snowy weather. White christmas is a good thing but after the holidays i wish it'd all melt. But usually the winter really starts in January.

ARGH! It is so slippery here! I've fallen over at least three times today, and if you get your balance right you can slide down half the street without any friction. Stopping is a problem of course.
At least it snowed eventually. I'm having a hard time deciding which is worse: no snow at Christmas or a half-hearted greyness about the place.

Rainy here yesterday, sort of windy today. Girlfriend and I went out kite flying. Would have prefered snow for sledding, though.

Despite the fact that I loathe snow with just about every molecule in my body, i missed having a white christmas... this is New England for heaven's sake... where are the blizzards?

I want snow It's just all grey and misty here. If I don't get snow by my birthday I'm going to cry!

I'm trying to think if I can ever remember snow on the ground on Christmas Day in England. If I think hard, I believe there was in 1981, and quite a bit of it too. There was always snow on the Christmases I spent in Verona, New York.

Of course, there's a small and select band of us sraffies (Peter?) who are old enough to remember Christmas 1962 in England when it snowed heavily on Boxing Day and stayed snowed right into March. Queasy memories of having to drink school milk that had been thawed out on the classroom radiator. Eugh!

Last year in Exmouth Which was pretty cool. I made a snowman

Seems like the rest of the country got all the snow...lucky Colorado. To some extent.

Lucky if you don't like power...

Some of you guys didn't get snow for Christmas? It's weird, it's the middle of summer down here, and some places had a white Christmas. The world's turning upside down...

Yeah...too much of a heavy white matter is too much of a heavy white matter.

Same story here, I saw a lot of green, brown, and gray, but no white.

It snowed briefly this morning, but that's all gone now.

A couple of years ago in North London.

Me and Jonny built a snow man (and went what's it calling down a big hill near his house). Some ~*Feeb*~ came and kicked the head off our snow man though

What do you expect when you live in Wembley?

When I was 10 we had 3 feet of snow for Christmas. Of course, that was in New Hampshire.

NYC is officially facing the warmest December on record in a hundred years. Needless to say, no snow. It rained on Christmas for the second year in a row, if I wanted this kind of weather I'd move to England .

Or to the rainforest.
