Talk about the weather

[Milla aka. the Slayer]

We've got about half a meter of snow lying around, going on three days now. It's awesome. A big snowstorm is said to come on sunday. I'll be cozying up at home with tea and blankets :-)

[Kalah]

That sounds so good I think I'll do the same.

[Corelanis]

Its a full on blizzard out there now the first 3 inches rocked now all the stores are closing and they are thinking of shutting down the roads its sweet.

[ThunderTitan]

It's been snowing almost every night for the last 5 days... now if i only had the time to enjoy it.

[Kalah]

I like it when it snows a little bit and it's windy at the same time. Snow blowing around in the wind.

It should be in Funny links topic but I think here is it place anyway:

Clear and sunny here.

[Kristo]

First snow of the year. w00t.

[Kalah]

It's stopped snowing, but it's still cold outside, and there's a thick blanket covering everything.

[ThunderTitan]

It's been alternating between rain and snow here for over a week, and at night the temperature is below 0, so we're getting ice and stuff... global warming sucks.

[Kalah]

Insanely cold; ten below and it's not even dark yet... We've been outside chopping wood, so we have lots of it next year.

[Kristo]

It's cold here too, but not that cold. About 0 celsius with lots of snow on the ground. Cold enough to use the garage as an extra refrigerator.

[Milla aka. the Slayer]

It's about minus 6-7 degrees celcius right now and I really hate it. Every time I go out they weather starts laying the foundations for frostbite on my cheeks...it hurts

[Kalah]

Even colder here. 10°C, easily.

Fortunately, I have a hot pot of tea.

[Kalah]

-42,3°C in Tynset, Hedmark last night. Hovering aronund twenty here.

[Gaidal Cain]

I think this is the first time in at least ten years that I've had snow the entire winter holiday. And cold enough that no one complained about me sitting indoors all the time...

We got our little dusting of snow this week. Not really enough to measure, just enough to turn flat surfaces white. Not quite enough to cover the grass and it never did quite cover all the black top (parking lots/roads). It was enough to prove that I've been feeding more than the local stray cats.

I have two strays that hang out on my back porch and sun themselves at work. A big stripped Tom and a cow spotted Mama cat. The later gave birth to two kittens under my floor last October. When we found them, one was already dead. Mama moved the live one to a box of fabric scraps on the front porch. After we found it, she moved it again and weather turned bitter cold. That was when I started leaving food out for her. There has been no sign of the white kitten, so I can only assume it died.

I have been faithfully leaving a bowl of kibble on the back porch every day. I occasionally see the cats eating, but they are so feral that if they see someone looking out the window, they run. Every morning, the bowl is empty.

After our light snow, I could see animal prints in the snow. The cat prints were expected, as were the bird prints. But something ELSE has been cleaning out the food bowls at night. Something bigger with wide splayed 'fingers'. It's not a raccoon. Those leave prints that look like monkey hands. I'm not sure WHAT this is! I'm taking a camera to work today to see if any of the snow is left with prints in it.

[Milla aka. the Slayer]

Spooky. How big is it, you reckon?

[ThunderTitan]

It's autumn in the middle of January... bleeping annoying.

[theLuckyDragon]

Actually, I loved those days when it was like autumn.

Right now it's really cold, the sun is shining bright on a perfectly clear blue sky, there is no snow, but the trees are all covered in hoarfrost and almost glittering in the light! Wonderful!
