Oh Milly - why I don't like snow 8 years 9 months ago #45609

It is 5.30pm and the temperature is 6° and it was snowing most of the day on top of the snow that was already there [not that much to start with].

However -- the 6° has a RealFeel of -13 -- overnight low is to be 2
If the cloud cover sticks around it won't get as cold as it would if the skies are clear

Tomorrow is to be a high of 6° with an overnight low of -11

That's why I don't like snow, because it gets so darn cold!

I'm sure others are having colder temperatures - I do not like snow & cold any more!

I must admit that I love the look of snow but I don't think I would handle that sort of cold for very long. There is no practice run in life.

We even had a white Christmas this year. Last year, there were people without power and more snow than we knew what to do with!

Melinda Topic Author	8.15am and it is -5 with a RealFeel of -7 Can't get the wind chill which I know is colder than -7 even though it isn't very windy. One thing about snow is the outside Christmas lights do look so pretty shining through the snow - but darn this cold is miserable and today/tonight is going to be worse. I worry about pipes bursting so keep the heat turned up good.

Roads, schools, businesses, I look at the snowfalls from the USA and wonder how things keep going There is no practice run in life.

Milly where we used to live before moving here we would get an inch like you and yes the whole place shut down & people were nuts and got into lots of car accidents. Was crazy! Our sons didn't really know snow until we moved here - our 1st Christmas here was a raging blizzard, had so much snow we couldn't get out of our neighborhood for a week as the plows were busy on the main roads and not neighborhoods. Christmas dinner was roasting hot dogs in the fireplace. It was an experience for sure!

It is warmer today - right now 19°, but the snow is falling once again

Stay warm everyone [just pretend you live where Milly does!].
