The wind just picked up again and destroyed several more patio roofs in the neighborhood.  One forecast said we might get snow in our area in the near future.

Having been bunked up and having a ball in Germany for the past 3 days, I returned home in the early hours of last night to hear that the whole of Southern England had been RE-battered by snowstorms. Towns were in gridlock, three of my local towns near to where I live had to be "evacuated". Flights and trains were cancelled, the postal and delivery services have been cancelled. The country's pretty much frozen solid! The problem is that the previous snow that has fallen has frozen over, and a new layer has settled on that. Black ice is everywhere and everyone's been warned not to venture out if they can avoid it by any means. Well...we wanted a white Christmas... :p Guess we got more than we bargained for :lol

Weather update: It seems there was enough snowfall last night to at least mostly cover the ground. It's actually still snowing right now. I'm not saying I'm excited about having snow here in Vermont, I just find it kind of ridiculous that it came much later than it usually should have. :rolleyes:

We just got an estimated 1/2 inch snow early in the morning!  Considering I live in the desert, that's a surprise.

Big snowstorm last night. The snow on our driveway is over eight inches deep (I was just outside measuring it :P:), and apparently it's going to get worse.

Well, the weather did indeed get worse. There's now eighteen inches of snow on the driveway, and in some parts of the front yard it's knee-deep. Plus, the temperature has been bobbing up and down just around freezing, so it's been wet as well as cold. This means that the roads are probably going to be very slippery once we clear the driveway and get back out on them. :unsure:

Rain. There's hardly any snow left on the ground. Some winter we've been having. <_<

Took me long enough to share this, but on May seventh, it SNOWED where we live. And I don’t just mean a light shower of snowflakes that melted as soon as they hit the ground; we had accumulating snow up here: 4.4 inches, apparently. It wasn’t the first time we’ve had snow up here in May, or even the most (though it is in the top three), but it was shocking nonetheless.

As if that’s not bizarre enough, this was the first year in recorded history in which our town hasn’t seen snowfall in March or April. It was shaping up to be a snow-free spring, and then this happened! :blink:

I have a photo to prove it:

This was taken on Saturday, May eighth, when the snow had already started to melt. (By the end of the day it seemed to be gone from everywhere in town except around our house. :rolleyes) That was the firstóand so far the onlyóday in my life I’ve ever had a snowball fight in May. :lol

By Sunday, May ninth, the snow was completely gone.


P.S. I think the newer  weather topic in the Party Room can probably be merged with this one.

Like usual, here it is bright, sunny and warm, and party cloudy at most.

It's cloudy, but I'm in Texas, and when it rains in Texas in the summer, as it did recently, it-gets-HOT! Painfully HOT!

How could I have forgotten to mention this for a week!? :slap

Last Monday, on Memorial Day of all days, it was actually smokey outside, due to wildfires from Canada. (if I remember correctly) To me, it smelled like a campfire outside for most of that day.
