Enjoy the season while it lasts
(Mystie can say this because she's no longer in NY/NJ when it did snow about 6 inches or so in freaking late Febuary) x.x;;;;

What amuses me is surely for countries that deal with mass amonunts every winter, they should be able to handle and deal with it, as much as let's say Canada or Scotland do.
It's not like it's a surprise...

It's a love-hate relationship really, lol

Parts of eastern Long Island received 30 inches of snow prompting a state of emergency to be called for Suffolk County (no cars allowed on the roads). MacArthur Airport in Long Island closed for the first time ever because of the snow.

What I find humorous that despite all this snow (NYC received approximately 12 inches), NYC public schools WILL be open on Monday,

I don't really know what to think. I've recently moved down to mid-Florida and it's still T-shirt weather here. It's almost surreal thinking Christmas is so close when it hasn't even gotten chilly here.

my dog is loving it, she's just about able to get through it still if it gets any higher she'll have to jump. She loves it though running around and I get to rub snow in her face. She came home and had a snow beard on her nostrils XD a corgi with a beard

I have friends in Australia and thinking of Christmas as a SUMMER holiday for them ALWAYS freaks me out...some even have a tree but I can never imagine celebrating that holiday while wearing shorts

Suggestion : If you can draw, make a caricature of Mafuyu in the snow! That did be the cutest thing ever!

Uhh, we got a blizzard yesterday, 10cm more snow, now there's 20cm on my yard and they said that there's gonna be even worse weather tomorrow. Hell, I'm drowning, somebody help me D:

I honestly have no idea why anybody would want to move there...

But I don't live in Florida, nor do I even live in the deep South, yet we usually still see several days that are t-shirt weather in the winter, so I guess I'm just used to it now. Not happy with it, but used to it.

In fact today is a t-shirt weather day. Yup the first day of winter...

I believe the NYC did close the schools just recently for much less snow. But the one in 1996 had much more for everyone and it followed almost the same exact path. That storm, I believe no one (outside of Florida) got less than 20 Inches on the east coast, and the snow froze up which meant no shoveling out and you could walk on top of it without falling through.
Back then, it was a snow emergency (no cars, trains or buses on the road). Today, they won't allow it.

Theres snow in the Netherlands as well, it's been a while. My bro crashed his car yesterday to a guard rail(which is the first time he damaged a car ever). Good times, hope this stays till christmas.

[solomon]

The core 8 jurisdictions of the DC metro are closed for public school. One or two universities are as well.

Major highways I hear are ok, airports are crushed with passengers though. At least the subway rail is running again.

I read its still bad in Europe, the Chunnel train is still suspended which isn't making Sarko none too happy.

I'd like it if it snowed here in Greece...I'm walking around the streets, listening to christmas tunes with 30 degrees hitting my back Since snowing here is so rare, we love it^^

Weatherman is calling for snow on Christmas Day. We still have snow from the storm over the weekend, and it's gotten pretty icy, though thankfully the streets aren't so bad. The sidewalks, on the other hand...

Nice! The banister-like wide areas on the side of Low Library's steps can be good for sledding - as long as you don't fall off. I hope the pipes are now in better conditions. In my first year there, we ended up having to leave our residence hall while they fixed some broken water pipes. It was definitely not fun.

In Tokyo, it's just cold and windy. No snow as of yet!

I think it was January 2004. I still remember it very fondly.

I was supposed to take the Regents exam for American History. This is just some state-mandated exam that is offered for a number of classes and it's an exam that kids have to pass in order to pass their respective class. I had prepared for this exam for months, thanks in large part to my very strict teacher.

There was a heavy snowstorm one day but the schools remained open since it would take a mega-blizzard (think Day After Tomorrow) to close the schools.

Then the next storm was a dusting; all the schools closed.

I was PISSED. The exam was canceled and the make-up was in JUNE, five months after I would have forgotten everything in the course. It was just so BS—schools can't close for 10 inches but a 3-inch dusting paralyzes the school system? GTFOHWTBS.

I still got a 97 on the exam (I think)

NYC is allegedly going to get rain for Christmas. I welcome this, as it means all that stupid snow is going to get washed away

But gorgeous, bright, sunny days with vivid blue skies and zero clouds.
The air is crisp, biting cold, but fresh, am enjoying it together with the sun.

Only complaint I have is hearing the word 'samui' 'samui desu yo ne~' a thousand times a day. x.x;;;;;;;;;

Today was nice and not too windy. Yesterday, though, had a nasty (IMHO) windchill as well; a hat was a very nice-to-have. It would be great to go skiing soon with a nice soak in the onsen and a drink afterward.

Hah. Be glad that I was nowhere near you then 'cause I would have driven you mad.
