I don't really have a favorite season. I tend to like the inbetween of spring-summer and summer-autumn the best. I enjoy being able to dress in a pair of jeans and t-shirt or wear a nice dress without freezing my butt off.

I agree with this. Spring is my absolute favorite time of the year because it's an in-between, with fall coming in second.

I differ in that I prefer winter over summer. Cooking in the heat is worse than freezing, personally.

Psssh... ICELAND!

This is what my home town looked like yesterday; http://www.akureyri.is/frettir/nr/16041

Nevermind the text, it's in Icelandic, scroll past it.

At least it looks as though you have ways of coping with snow in Iceland. In the U.K we sprinkle a little salt around and when that doesn't work we just start crying and say that we had no way of knowing that it was going to snow..........every year!!!

It's always the wrong kind of snow as well

Yep- all the radio stations you here experts saying that we were ready for the bad weather; but it came in quicker than expected or temperatures dropped more quickly or the wind blew the wrong way. Why can't the uk just admit that its hopeless when it comes to winter. They advice us not to go out in our cars unless absolutely necessary then all the public transport fails

This is not meant to be rude or nasty or just typical Cindy,

Goddess it's hot over here. Can't walk outside as the pavement is so hot. I wear gloves in the car so I can hold the steering wheel.
A person was selling home made snow in the shopping mall at Christmas. I've got trees like those in my garden.

Do I crave snow. NOOOOO!

Sorry people I am sympathetic, really I am.

Cindy, where the Hell is the cold beer.

Don't be surprised when we all show up on your doorstep.

Ordinarily I love the snow.  But this year, with it snowing every freaking day, I'm getting a little annoyed with it.  Might not be so bad if I had a garage, but I'm getting very tired of having to brush off my car every time I go out.  It's gotten to the point that my whole block has given up on shoveling.  On the other hand, the skiing has been pretty good this year. 

If we had snow in this part of the country the flood waters would be sheets of ice instead.  (Which would be great because I could skate). We have had a whole summer's rain in about 4 days, and lots of towns in this part of the state are still cut off or at risk of flooding when the water makes it's way down the rivers.
Nothing compared to Queensland and New South Wales though, as no loss of life.  To give a comparison  imagine  an area the size of Texas and California  or France and Germany  inundated.

It took me 2 hours to drive home from work tonight instead of the usual 30 minutes because of the current blizzard. However, without the snow there would be no snowboarding, no halfpipe tricks, no big air double jumps, no railjams, no off axis 540's and no Shaun White....I'm just sayin'...

I love the snow in Northern Wisconsin....

Jennifer

I look out my window and see the snow and I am soooooo over it!!! Snow... 

Lucky people. I was walking down the street in a t-shirt watching someone bike around the neighborhood on Christmas day because there is never snow where I'm at. Instead there is 80 degree weather in the "winter". I wish for the snow I had when I lived up north.

Tonight's forecast: Ice Storms.

Our power went out on the block for about 15 minutes earlier. FML


SO. OVER. WINTER.

Hate snow, hate cold, hate winter, I need more temperate clime by a long shot. I'm not sure what I'm still doing in Wisconsin. I don't like any winter sports either. Oh yeah, I got to earn money and at least I have a j o b.  It may be time to transfer in the near future.

Currently the Twin Cities - where I live -- has had 53 inches of snow this winter ... this is 13 more inches than we had all winter last year ... and we have snow in the forecast for the next three days.

It's foggy here and it's only going to get up to 67 today.  Does that count?

Nope, foggy snow just don't cut it.

How about 50s and overcast?  We're back to normal winter here now at least.

So this is probably not the time to mention how spring like and sunny things were today over here
