Snow!
Re: Snow!
We've had that much snow here in Finland for a month.

Yes, but you are in Scandinavia, not the middle of the British Isles.

Well you're right about that

Re: Snow!
Here near my home it looks like on the Luke's photos too ATM - sadly, same cloudy gray climate, so the snow will stay only day or two. I love when snow fell and then suddenly come cold air from north-east Europe, then the snow stay for week or two, sky is beautify blue, sun is shining and flashing back from the snow and the snow cracks under feet. In that moment a -10°C or -20°C is much more comfortable than damn +/- zero. Pity, that it's less and less often, but how to explain it to our president in Prague?

BTW, in Kyiv is snowing now, not too cold and damn good! It's Christmas Eve and Christmas promises to be just amazing time.
EDIT: Oh, wikipedia rules. Klaus is a stange person, but he's somewhere right. Scientists just use same facts for different theories and why we should believe some of them?
Re: Snow!
That's true, but actually we haven't had a winter like this in 7 years, at least in the Southern Finland.Lukeno1 wrote:Yes, but you are in Scandinavia, not the middle of the British Isles.

Re: Snow!
You're lucky man Buka, in my town all snow turn to water 36 hours before Christmas Eve. Enjoy the beauty!
Off-topic: well, the Mr. Klaus hates everybody, who has another opinion on any theme than he, he likes only people, who accept every his word. If not, they are enemies on death until death. The biggest is V. Havel and his fans, who like the idea, that true and love should win over hate and lies. He always choose the minority opinion just to rude the majority. Few days ago one reporter wrote in newspapers, that nobody would be surprised, if he would start deny the Holocaust crimes just for trolling. He hates everything, what is not joined with theory of free market - he would ban all social rights and environmental questions. He hate everything related with EU and he wish to be elected by people but out of their control and as best deciding over everything from one center - he broke constitution repeatedly (always stopped by constitutional court), he didn't want to allow independent self-government of towns and regions, he don't want to allow any proposal of national referendum (only local are possible) and he hate other public activities or ways, how common man can ask politics, what they do and take them to be responsible for it. That's sum in few sentences, I could continue, but it would be better in PMs if you wish, Buka, ask details about any of the questions.

I like our president I´m also against being too much "green" and so long, even when I´m not so interested in our country politic situations so I don´t know about much things that Ivo said. I can´t even vote in elections now so... nevermind just I´m not ecologic fanatic
sorry for being off topic

Re: Snow!
Weather-talking: Here we have maybe the better conditions It's about -20 to -40 as the normal temperature and we actually got about 2" of snow... I know, It's not much... Some years ago we had more than 450mm of precipitations with about 6" of those which remained on the ground... I'm surprised to see snow in Haq's and Ivo's place 'cause if I do remember well, it's a bit under or equal to France, no? And in France winters ain't hard... Anyways...
Re: Snow!
-20 to -40 ... ghosh I'm cold just thinking at it. We have also 2 centimeter of snow here in Geneva and as a biker that's already too much... fortunately it's not so cold.
BTW that of course depend where in France... but definitively no, winters in France can be hard.

Re: Snow!
TGF, France is near the ocean and has more warm weather. Geography, you know... Syberia is also the same degree as most of Europe but is very cold and dry.
Re: Snow!
Yep, there's quite a lot of snow here in Finland. I haven't measured it, but trust me... It's better not go out there. Your boots won't be tall enough. And if you happen to have boots that tall, you will freeze to death before the mailbox anyway. Totally not worth it.
Re: Snow!
It's -30 in here.

Re: Snow!
Are you pretending that you have 3" of snow or more and a freezing -120C or are you just assuming that you are just very lazy?1nsane wrote:Yep, there's quite a lot of snow here in Finland.

Re: Snow!
Yep, it's closer to -300C. I know, it's not possible in any other parts of the planet, but... Here it is. And so much snow we can't see out of our windows.
Seriously... Not worth it.

Re: Snow!
It was 45 years ago when we had so much snow here in Helsinki as now we have...
And I'm not even 18...
So I read it from Metro-magazine...
Sorry if you didn't understand something...
And sorry from so sad message...
Snow makes peoples sad...

Do you think, that hockey would be so popular in CZE to create almost as good players as Canada, if we would not know ice & snow here?The Great Falcon wrote:...

BTW I'm not by any way an eco-brain, even I obviously vote the party founded by V. Klaus (4 times I think), but it doesn't mean, that I look on him through pink glasses.
Edit: I watched weather forecast and they promised 50cm of snow during weekend.

Re: Snow!
Obviously we have a lot of snow here (let's say 25-30 cm), and the temperature is ~ -25 on this week.

Re: Snow!
Where I live (central California, very close to the coast) it has not snowed at all in many, many years, as far back as they've kept records... right now it's about 50* F at night, and we think that's cold >_> Unfortunately in a week I'm going back to college in St. Louis, Missouri, and it's in the single digits (F) there right about now... ;(
I like short, simple signatures!
Re: Snow!
Just for the Europeans: ~50 °F is equal to about 13-14 °C, and 0-10 °F means -about -10 °C...bduddy wrote:... right now it's about 50* F at night...
