Snow?

In my country?

It's more likely than I thought.

In fact, several schools in the northern areas had to close because of the weather. People can't get to their jobs because of the heavy snowing. Unless you like in Reykjavík like me, in which case you're only mildly annoyed by the cold and some snowy spots.

AND IT IS MARCH.

I blame global warming.

Yes, I blame the fact that it's freaking cold on global warming. The more knowledgeable of you will know why, but let me explain:

This is all from memory, but basically, the Gulf Stream, originating in the bay of Mexico, crosses the Atlantic and brings warmth to Iceland. Global warming is screwing it up something fierce, and so Iceland is actually getting colder.

tl;dr: It's snowing so badly it causes avalanches here in Iceland because global warming screws up the Gulf Stream.

Hmm. Boksi?
Boksi, boksi..., hrmpf.
Boksi, do You play cybernations?

We are having heavy rains in the dessert here, and it is spring, which is not the usual rainy season.

[JoshuaFH]

Yesterday, it rained, snowed, and gusted. Today, it's fairly warm, and everything that's transpired the day before might as well have never happened.

In other words, it's regular Michigan weather.

I love snow. We got less than an inch of snow this year, and it was widely celebrated _{(exaggeration of actual reaction)}, as it was the first time snow had come and actually stuck to the ground in about 10 years. It still lasted less than half a day.

I wish Alabama got more snow.

That reminds me of what happened down here in Texas a few years ago, it snowed quite a bit. It lasted till the next night where I live too.

That was the first time I EVER saw snow.

In this town everyone just stayed inside, but I was going about business as usual, being apparently born with massive cold tolerance (I forget and didn't notice I was not wearing a jacket when I went out to check).

There were people freaking out though, like saying end of the world stuff honestly. Pansy's.

 Yesterday...
 Oh lord, yesterday was the perfect day to be in DC. At first everything was cloudy and rainy, then the clouds broke apart and we got a nice day with frequent clouds and enough sunlight to warm things to a nice temperature. Then there was the occasional rain clouds, which would bring down a torrent for five minutes and leave.

 It was glorious. Seems in spring every day starts out cold and overcast as hell and turns into an ideal day in the afternoon.

Pfft, lucky. I'd expect that living in the state where in anyplace can be less than half an hour away from the beach, cookie for who ever gets that right ;). That it would start to get warmer, O.K. well it is right now but this week still looks pretty crappy. Of course it's tolerable as I only grumble mildly at inclament weather.

[Nilocy]

Scotland. Where it can be all 4 seasons in one day. 'Nuff said.

I'm guessing either Rhode Island or Hawaii.

Texas can have five in one day.  Frozen rain in the morning, hot at noon, OMFG HOT in the afternoon, hot rain in the evening, and frozen again at night.  Had a spell of that over the past few weeks.

Waitaminute-

down here in Texas a few years ago

You live in Texas?  Where?



_{So I can stay far, far away.}

Sniper Joe and Aqizzer live in the same state, their combined power will finally allow Texas to get revenge on Mexico for that little dispute where Mexico humiliated the Texans at the Alamo and ended up getting Texas annexed by the U.S.

Mexican-American War ftw.

OH DEAR GOD.

And he's only a state or two away from me...

Cower.
