It's -6 C here and sunny, amazingly.

Oh, and Spige, we've got well over a foot of the real stuff; I can send some over, if you like!

I'll have some, Sinny. We haven't had a good snow for nearly two years here... the first time I saw it this year just had to be on my way down to Leeds for The March Violets, going over the Pennines in England.... in a completely unheated train carriage

We had a sleet storm right after the snowstorm, so the resultant icy coating's turned the snow into this ridiculously sparkling stuff that looks right off of a Hollywood sound stage. Unless it warms up around here, I think it's going to be around for awhile...

If you send the snow I will send you some some cured pork parts. We have well over a foot of them here too

You can have some from here too if you like.
Pretty much snowed all weekend here & took the local authorities a day to get off their great big backsides & make an effort at clearing it off the roads.
By the time they did, it was frozen, so it's still on the roads in patches, which makes for fairly exciting drives (especially if you need to go through the countryside).
That coupled with the possibility a large deer might decide to put in an appearance in the middle of a nice dark road is a joy to look forward to.
Still, at least the place looks festive huh?

Why does that sound so...familiar? Dundunduuuuuuuuuuuun!

Hungary, or Connecticut? You be the judge.

Erm...you can keep the snow, no strings attached. Really!

Small world huh?
@spigel.
A foot of snow or pork parts?
Actually, the word "parts" seems a little lacking in detail to be enticing huh?

Assorted pig parts such as Tail Ear Rib and some chickbeans and a spud thrown in for good measure. Is that a little more enticing

Wow, that's like summat out of a horror film.

You think that´s scary look at this delicacy.This thing is an arcaic creature who sucks the blood of it´s victims and is cooked here in its own blood.


I am not from around here.My home is far away..help me

Yeah, I've heard of/seen those - but I didn't know that folks ate 'em.

Ummm...yeah. So, lemme guess: you've got well over a foot of those piled up, too?

I don´t want them any where near my feet thank you very much...just send me the snow

Brings new meaning to "anklebiter," eh?

Jazus !!! that´s a bit unusual. Does the temp drop that much in Nass??

Definitely not normal.

Typical that we get the sh!tty end of the stick when it comes to global warming.

It's currently -14C here in Chicago; it's -23C with the wind chill factored in. Ummm, yeah. WHY did I not stay in Los Angeles all those years ago?! OMFG. *Shivers uncontrollably*

Hasn't been that cold here for a while.
I remember my first winter here & I kept the beer on the balcony.
It all froze solid (as you'd expect at -18 c)
Won't be doing that again.
Today it's a balmy -5 & everything is white

i have my window full of beers and there are only 8°C

I'm going to close my window now, I'm freezin'

looks like there is a whole lotta snow heading your way and I don´t mean the stuff you stick up your sniffer.

Right now, it's a balmy -8C ("feels like: -15C") and everything's white here, as well, as it snowed all New Year's Eve...

Oh I wish I was there for a bl00dy good snowball fight!
