Woohoo Snow, ya right...

Wollongong is in Australia, your seasons are reversed so for you April is in the Fall and Winter is on its way, is it not? Around here usually for most parts of the country April doesn't look like this, sorry I didn't have a chance to go somewhere more scenic, this was just what it was like outside when I got up today, the snow is still accumulating.

I guess I was just annoyed because it had been really warm the last few weeks and it is kind of a tease when you get the warm weather for a few days and then it goes away for at least another couple of weeks. But I don't really mind it a fresh layer of snow gives you a chance to get out one last time before you have to put away all your Winter activities for the Summer, and since this is the Easter long weekend I'm sure I am not going to be the only one.

Here in Minnesota it's pretty much the same thing. A week ago it hit 80°F and then the other day we got snow and it's now 19°F. Minnesota has some pretty wild temperature swings. Our all time record high is 114°F and all time record low is somewhere around -60°F. In any given year the temperature difference from highest to lowest can be around 110°.

I'd love to live where you live, I love snow

Yeah, we got some of that snow down here in Halifax too, around 30cm I believe, on Friday. It did make driving conditions quite fun though

Its been snowing here to, luckily for me it never collects on the ground. But the past week its been 30 degrees out!

Its snowing right now in Upstate NY (Ithaca). I'm at working wondering if we're going to have to call the Grounds guys in to salt the road - we'll see. I'm SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ready for spring.

But, like Alizée, spring will get here when it gets here!

Ya'll don't worry about that snow, now. I've been trying real hard to double my Carbon footprint. If we all work together to double our output we can show all those Climate morons it really doesn't matter much.

Ed, you live in Ithaca? I was just there a few days ago looking at Cornell. Do you like the area?

Ditto. Snowboarding is the best.

Well, let me put it this way:

10.5 yrs in the Navy - I've been to all of W. Europe (except Norway)
some of the middle east, Japan, Guam and Australia.

I was stationed in Charleston, Norfolk, Washington DC,
Newport RI, Chicago and Virginia Beach.

New York is where i came "home" to. Yeah, its cold in the
winter, and yeah, its hot and muggy in the summer - but it is
beutifull here! Because of Cornell and Ithaca College, there are
about 35 to 50K extra residents here in the school year. We
have Arts, Theater and the Wine Trails around the Finger Lakes.
All kinds of stuff. Yeah, I guess you could say I "like" it!
