Currently there's about 15-20cm of snow outside, which is pretty rare in these parts. The seaclimate in the Netherlands often screws up winter, and apart from a few isolated days there hasn't been much frost this year. This much snow is even rarer because it's March already <!--emo&B)--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... s/cool.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='cool.gif' /><!--endemo--> <br><br>Is there any snow currently in wherever you guys live?

Ahh, from what I've heard snow it's a really annoying thing to put up with (except for when school is canceled). But if it's rare then I guess you get the best from both worlds.

Well, the snow finally stopped coming down here... I'm just wondering how much of a challenge getting to work will be. <!--emo&:P--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... tongue.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tongue.gif' /><!--endemo-->

I think there were a few flakes this afternoon. Though it was odd. It was like they were too heavy to be snow from the fact they fell like raindrops but too light to be hail on the fact they didn't hurt or make a sound on contact with anything. I shall call this weather condition Snil. Or maybe Haow.

It's been flurrying like mad outside today. Difficult to walk upwind and see where you're going.

It's been snowing pretty bad last Monday and Tuesday. They even cancelled classes for Monday. Appalachian State University rarely cancel classes due to weather.
I wonder if it'll finally get it's own forum too. I've always wanted a place online where I can talk about O&M.

I'm not surprised NHJ BV, there's massive clouds all over Europe the last few days.<br><br>It snowed here almost continously yesterday but today it rained all day so it's all gone now.

Apparently in the northwest of the country the amount of snow neared half a meter, and this is apparently the most snow since 1979 <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... /smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Wrong way. 15-20cm = 6-8"
