Snow!

Sorry but here where I live (canary islands) we are at 25ºC, and the sun shines..........

The sun is shining here too.

But

Most od Scotland is at -2oC and it is snowing.

Again.

The temperature in the house is 16.5C

I think that I am going to die without seeing and touching the snow in my life.

I never have seen it (except in the movies), I never have touched it.......

Where I live only had snow about a few times in my life, a little bit of snow in the highest part of the island only once each 5 years or so

I'd send you some, but it'd be hot water by the time it got to you ;)

You lucky bastards...who lives in 25-30 C in winter

Here is -1C, morning was -5C.

Yesterday, morning was 10cm snow. It rained in the afternoon, freezing rain fell in the evening...
Becouse yesterday was not enough cold, the snow sticks on the trees. Some tree fallen on the catenary. We had no electricity for 6 hours. But, "We love it here!" like Walter in Jeff Dunham show.
Here from 7:50

It's a bit cold today here. Probably as cold as it will get all week...

Beginning of Brazilian summer, midday, outside temp is +25 ºC...

I don't even have central heating. No one here bothers. We worry about big windows and air conditioning. Local notion of extreme cold is +9 ºC....

I like this - all the different climates happening at the same time....

I've lived in a place where 18 degrees caused me to shiver. Expected temperature here tonight is -6 but in some places -20.

The record here is -27.2oC about 30yr ago. The highest ever recorded was 32.9 in 2003. I don't think I have ever experienced 30 in Scotland.

Last time I was in Madrid (April 2004), everyone seemed to be wearing all the clothes they owned. Me I was wandering around in shorts and a T-shirt.

Some pictures from yesterday: 1, 2, 3.

It's cold in Hungray but the women are Hot

The "official" record here is -35,0 °C in 1940.02.16.. The highest ever recorded was 41,9 °C in 2007.07.20. (Hungary)

Extreme values.... Since, i remember, i experienced the average temperature in summer 25-32, and in winter 1- (-20).

Wow, nice picture, I only can see this in TV, Now here in HK the temperature is around 18ºC-27ºC

It is very warm here , lol .

All those pics of snow reminds me of living in Alaska. Waking up in the morning to go to work then opening the front door to find 2-3 feet of snow and having to dig out our vehicles.

Oh what memories...... or nightmares. Surprised

wow, I just learned that where I live (winnipeg, manitoba, canada) is the coldest city in the world with a population over 600,000. we usually get a stretch averaging -30c with windchills well into -40c range. luckily that is a month or so away.

So far in the past 2 weeks we have gotten around almost 50cm of snow which is sitting at record levels (and i love it:D)

I'd love it too if I could get home :(

Very nice! I passed through there on the trans-Canada just one time when I was a kid, and I still remember it, hauntingly beautiful area.

More and more of the white stuff today..

Don't tell me it is pretty unless you enjoy deep puncture wounds...

It is useful, now you can go skiing! : ) It also helps reflect the light from our flashlights making them light things up a whole lot better

lol!! thats sad you cant get home, where are you stuck for the time being? I must say my subaru awd had gotten me through all of the major snowy downpours we have had, and its fun to boot!

and sb56637, it is beautiful, mainly around winnipeg. Near ontario is where it starts getting absolutely gorgeous on the trans-canada hwy. once you pass winnipeg and get into saskatchewan, well its another story. Unless you find pure field as far as the eye can see a beautiful thing lol :)

We had a bit of snow here last Monday and the city was shut down for basically the whole week....

There also tend to be a lot of timid drivers here who even abandon their vehicles in the middle of the road if they slip even a bit, so generally it's not a good idea to venture out even if you are comfortable driving on slick roads.
