Great White Death of '11 - Life Threatening Conditions - General

[QUOTE=Chezhead;27799753][media]http://gyazo.com/c3842764cff5d6290f8efe80e575afc6.png[/media][/QUOTE] your fucking joking, i had more snow in CT. more like, 2.5 feet.

i had 95cm of snow once

My backyard has 4 and a half feet of snow in except for a small shoveled path all winter. On -50c days schools don't close. The open prairie wind makes you wish for summer then when summer gets here and it hits 35-40 degrees so you hope for Fall to come, then fall comes for like 3 fuckin' days then it's god damn snow basically until summer again :( Such is life in Saskatchewan. [b]edit[/b] 1337 posts, and it only took me 5 years!

i think we have about 10cm of snow here atm, in nova scotia, and we're supposed to get another 40 i think by tomorrow

OP is scared of snow... You couldn't survive a single winter here...NEXT TO RUSSIA

School is canceled today for me. -20°F. [editline]fwashghh[/editline] Just went outside. It actually doesn't feel too bad. It's kind of a refreshing cold.

So I just woke up. My bedroom window is at ground level, and here is how much snow I got last night. [img]http://a1.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/hs073.snc6/168311_10150092408643950_823483949_6086952_1188723_n.jpg[/img]

-30 to -60 degrees F here recently. That's strange actualy, it's usualy not that cold, but it's a colder year so it's expected. (wyoming)

[quote=OP]School was already closed for [b]tomarrow[/b][/quote] That's a shame, you can use some more.

Any amount of snow is crippling to traffic, at least in my state, it usually just gets pushed onto the sides of the streets, and patches of ice are awkwardly all over. Some states aren't equipped to handle it.

[QUOTE=Rellow;27806953]Suuuuure is nice here in California. :smug:[/QUOTE] It's quite windy down here in SoCal. It made so much noise that it woke me up....

cedarburg where i live got like 18 inches of snow and heavy drafting so there was 3.4-4 feet of snow outside my front door

[QUOTE=Guardian-Angel;27808146]Yeah, and the ice is causing major power outages. There are fuck-all people on the road outside my house right now, and I live in Indy. There's too much ice on the roads for INDOT to deal with it all, and IPL and Duke are having to scramble all over the place to fix all these downed power lines and transformers. I've had about six power flashes this evening, fried one of my power strips.[/QUOTE] Just last night I woke up and discovered that all the ice that was built up in my trees was getting knocked out by the wind. It sounded like a damn avalanche.

When I read title I thought you meant the Yellowstone park volcano erupting, with ash coming out and all. I was wrong. [editline]2nd February 2011[/editline] Is America really THAT unprepared for snow/ice? [editline]2nd February 2011[/editline] Oh yeah, the ice is worse.

And everyone in Finland walks in shorts and plays volley-ball on the beach. [editline]2nd February 2011[/editline] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1KLRNkLdzgI[/media] This, but with 7 feet of snow.

Here in Southern New Hampshire, got at least 20 inches. No school today. And this is supposedly a moderate winter this year. Yeah. I agree with that, because we really haven't had any major power outages....and we get those a lot in heavier winters.

[QUOTE=booster;27813909]And everyone in Finland walks in shorts and plays volley-ball on the beach. [editline]2nd February 2011[/editline] This, but with 7 feet of snow.[/QUOTE] We literally do not care how much snow Finland has or how crippling or not it is for them - where I live we aren't used to this and it's a major hassle and dangerous.

You guys are huge pussies. This is what you gotta clean off your car every morning in Estonia: [img]http://lh4.ggpht.com/_4B1_lBaWS4o/TUmIBNB2cRI/AAAAAAAAjGM/eShTF3_JN9Y/s720/IMG_0529.JPG[/img]

A huge chunk of ice just fell off my apartment building. My building is 25 stories tall, so it probably could have killed somebody. You have a better chance being killed by ice rather than getting shot in Chicago. The south loop is kind of messed up, a lot of cars stuck on my street, I can't even see the buildings that are just blocks a way. I usually could see the Sears Tower, but not today.

[QUOTE=insane taco;27801804]Dropped 3 inches of ice and sleet and counting near St. Louis area. We haven't even gotten any snow. It's just been sleeting all day since yesterday.[/QUOTE] Hey St. Louis, you must know of jumbling towers!

Lol, ice covered highways. Dont you guys have any snow plows or Ice Salt spreaders?

[QUOTE=taipan;27814570]Lol, ice covered highways. Dont you guys have any snow plows or Ice Salt spreaders?[/QUOTE] Thick urban areas, interstates in white-out conditions and little side roads need taken care of too. For most local governments it isn't easy or logistical to deal with this much snow and ice. Doesn't help that it's well into the negatives.

I had a snowstorm and I saw lightning. Fucking... lightning... Did anyone else see lightning last night? First those floods over the summer and now this.

Not giving a fuck here in Wyoming. Its -30 fucking degrees Fahrenfuck. It was so cold I literally snapped my Car door handle off. I have to use the fucking passenger door now.

I haven't been getting snow, but fucking everything is frozen.

+1 here in northern Canada, I can't go outside without melting.

Southern Maryland is situated just right out of reach of most storms. Its like the storms go out of their way to head towards us, than at the last minute go a tiny bit north, missing us completely. Don't really get all that much snow but we get to hear about how places only an hours drive away are getting pounded by snow.

Got 2-5 inches where I live, tried to go to the grocery store, only to realize that four wheel drive is useless when you're sliding down a 20% grade on two inch thick sheets of ice.

[QUOTE=Ardosos;27808264]OP, what part of Wisconsin do you live in? Where I'm at, we've been getting upwards of at least a foot every day for the past few weeks. For some reason, much of it melts on weekends.[/QUOTE] Northwest of Milwaukee. Also, ITT: Either "TATS NO SNO ILIVE IN CANADA/RUSSIA" or "SURE IS NIZE HERE IN FLORIDA/CALIFORNIA/BRAZIL"

I live in the Rocky Mountains of fucking Colorado and got a light dusting with -15 degree weather. :argh: Had to bike home from class when it was -5. Longest 2 miles of my life.
