we are dealing with about 5 cm today if my measurement means anything.i just got in from outside and looked at the snow and the path in it.that is in alberta canada. i hear califoria dosnt get snow. it would be just peachy to live in a snowless country minus the damn bugs.i personally have a kinda phobia about hornets becasue if that time they infested my clothing they said:“there is frost outside,theres no hornets out there.” that was years ago.
you may also want to talk about the pros and cons of a regions getting snow…

K: I now live in the San Francisco area, but grew up in snow
country, Minnesota. It does snow in the mountains, a lot, Sierra mountains, but down here it snows a bit in the hills, just last
week, but further down, not really.
I can count on one hand, the number of times it has snowed
at sea level in 30 years. I have lived in a number of places and
visited many others, I can tell you, California has the least number of
bugs of any place I have ever visited. California of late, it has
rained, a lot, we normally get 20 inches of rain per season,
the last last 2 year and probably this year too, we will have
23 to 25 inches.

K: after dealing with snow in my youth, I will never, NEVER, live
in a snow area again. 6 months of snow, cold,and never
seeing the sun, I am quite ok with my 9 months of sun every year.
In fact, after winning the lottery, I shall move to hawaii, where
there is even more sun.
Colorado, home of the most unpredictable weather imaginable.
In one 12 month period, December and January highs were consistently in the 60’s and 70’s, followed by our mild but snow filled Feb-mid April, then complete hawtness come May and June. Then, and this is the kicker, middle of June, it freaking snows!! 95 one day, 85 the next, snow the next day high of about 30 if i remember right, next day 60’s, two weeks later over 100!!
We can’t get one consistency around here. We used to have “It always snows on Halloween”. This year, nope.
Although the landscape once you leave the cities around here is wonderful. I wouldn’t give it up, except for better scenery. I enjoy the snow, but abhor the heat. Arizona or New Mexico would kill me. I’d dry up like a prune and wither away.
colorado has unpredictable weather? what about indiana, where in one day last week, it was about 35 in the morning, then went up to 55 in the early afternoon, in two hours was back down to 40, and went up to 60 AFTER THE SUN SET.
I know, I know, it doesn’t make a lick of sense. Nothing about the weather makes any sense, for every claim that the weather predictors get right they get about 14 wrong (my count)…
That can happen on any day of the week here. We have pretty violent temp differences. My personal favorite is the weather differences here though.
I live in Denver so this is mostly about our area here.
Englewood, just south of Denver. Snow.
Denver proper - 60’s
Wheat Ridge, just north of Denver, kinda west - Rain
Aurora, just east of Denver - Cold, no precip.
LIttleton, just west of Denver - 70’s.
We can have sun, rain, snow, and others in the same like 40 mile radius. It’s just crazy. But I imagine this is partially due to the latitude and some geographical (mountains) features of the area. Indiana may be similar due to a giant lake nearby and pretty similar latitude.
If we had winter/spring off instead of summer, the weather here for vacation times would be beautiful. Besides, while most of Arizona is hot, parts of it snow, and even some parts that never get cold enough to snow have generally pleasant weather.
I made a solar oven once, for my science class, and baked brownies with it. I almost burned them. My friend once burned a hole through my shoe with another friend’s glasses on a cloudy day. You can get first and second degree burns from touching the metal part of a seatbelt in the summer. It’s pretty crazy how dry it is, too. You can dry off after swimming by air-drying in less than 25 minutes. I left a CD behind the back window of my car once. It MELTED! Small children and animals die if they are left out in the heat too long. But… I love it. It’s just what I’m used to. Plus, for me, heat means it’s close to my birthday (July 26th). On my birthday I always have a fairly large LAN party.
i live in central texas. it hasn’t snowed here more than a couple of milimeters since 1985. it snowed the couple of milimeters about 3 times since then, if that.
The last time I was in Arizona I was visiting one of my mom’s friends. It was deathly hot. Course going in August, not the best time. Yeah, dry heat is what we got up here, just not as hot. We’ve seen similar heat problems up here before, but not as consistently. I am well familiarized with the air-drying concept.
born and raised in Tucson, lived some years in Phoenix, When I moved from Phoenix it was 124 degrees and 60% humidity, due to flood irrigation systems and massive amounts of lakes and ponds.
I love the desert, the heat, it makes you feel alive. Its much better then wet or freezing. Weather patterns are changing world wide, we have much worse to face folks be prepared, every year its worse, this year was the 5th warmest winter on record. More hurricanes and heat related storms are due this year, worse then last year.
I believe most American snow was abolished during the Kennedy administration:
It’s true! It’s true! The crown has made it clear.
The climate must be perfect all the year.
A law was made a distant moon ago here:
July and August cannot be too hot.
And there’s a legal limit to the snow here
In Camelot.
The winter is forbidden till December
And exits March the second on the dot.
By order, summer lingers through September
In Camelot.
Camelot! Camelot!
I know it sounds a bit bizarre,
But in Camelot, Camelot
That’s how conditions are.
The rain may never fall till after sundown.
By eight, the morning fog must disappear.
In short, there’s simply not
A more congenial spot
For happily-ever-aftering than here
In Camelot.
Camelot! Camelot!
I know it gives a person pause,
But in Camelot, Camelot
Those are the legal laws.
The snow may never slush upon the hillside.
By nine p.m. the moonlight must appear.
In short, there’s simply not
A more congenial spot
For happily-ever-aftering than here
In Camelot.
they said:“there is frost outside,theres no hornets out there.” that was years ago.
