Another shout out from Philadelphia. We are expecting more snow Monday night into Tuesday. I'm liking your title RM67! Never thought of myself as an utter rotter, CW. Makes me wonder how I came to have so many English friends.

7 inches in East Texas! Very unusual and special for us. There is a snowman in every yard. But I am glad that it is a rare treat, not every winter.

Here in Ottawa Canada -- reportedly the second or third coldest world capital on the planet -- there were relatively mild temperatures through January and very little snow.

Certainly none since I came back 10 days ago from our 6 weeks in the US, where we experienced remarkable chilliness (in Georgia, for example).

Fortunately we got home before the big storm hit in VA.

I assume those wusses down in Toronto have no snow at all -- and yet are still complaining about their "tough" winter.

We are heading off again in 3 weeks -- this time to Rome where, as a friend reported today, her office closed because of SNOW.

Sorry: I meant national capital, not world capital.

Meanwhile, Vancouver doesn't have enough snow for the mens downhill.

The world has gone all wrong!

They're trucking it in from VA, even as I write this.

Not only did no one tell me what an "utter rotter" was but now I have to ask what a "bunberry" is.

stokebailey

Me, too, but too proud to ask.

Unless it's invented friends like Earnest's.

stokebailey

anyway,
utter= very much
rotter= bad man

I feel so guilty complaining about 50 to 60 degree weather here in Florida! But it has been way colder than usual for way longer than usual. We native born Floridians are just not used to this chill.

Hi, from Toronto here, amazingly snow free winter this year! Love it but going off to find some in Prague in a few weeks! Never been before; but from all online report they have lots.

Hey, Cowboy. (Nothing; just can't pass up a chance to type that.)

Sorry for you folks in the mid Atlantic and southern states. We got fooled here in Boston on Wednesday, February 10. Predictions of a blizzard, schools closed, government offices shut down, supermarkets deluged, general panic.

Result: light dusting, no plowing, businesses hurting, and much egg on the faces of local forecasters. Go figure...

Cholmondley_Warner

No more snow here. Utter rotter count is low.

More rain.

On Saturday, 49 of our 50 states had snow on the ground. That's unusual.

Here in central Iowa we have had at least five inches of snow on the ground since a storm produced 16 inches on December 8. We currently have at least a foot on the ground after a few inches this weekend. We normally get about eighteen inches in a year, but are well past 50 inches this year. We have not gone more than four days this winter without snow. And it has only been above freezing a couple of days. One day last month our HIGH was -1 fahrenheit. Make it go away indeed.
