There it is! 15 inch of snow in the past 24H, and -12°c for the next few days at least. Right now, my fireplace is my favorite mistress in the whole world! Is this out of the ordinary or standard for you, Arthur?

hmmm, difficult to say. The winter usually is at its peak in late january, but it can start as early as late october. Normaly, we get our first tasteof steady snow around late November, so more or les sgetting the first of it in one go that late in the winter is out of the ordinary if not unprecedented! When it's that late, you kind of stop expecting it.

When it's that late, you kind of stop expecting it. Nothing worse than a false sense of security... Last winter we had virtually nothing until very late January and then were hit by about 7 feet of snow over the next four weeks, with about the longest stretch of low teens/ since digit temperatures (F) we'd ever seen. We've had more snow over 8 feet in 1995-6 and 2004-5, but over a longer period of time and with some chances for melting when temperatures made it to 32, at least. So far this year, warmest December ever. So who frikkin' knows?

Exactly, same over here, but we also had the coldest summer ever, and the warmest August ever! It almost makes me wish I lived in Mega City One and it's controled weather dome, almost, there's just that small judge Dredd society matter... Ah, all in all, I'm just happy to get at least a week of real snowy winter and hope for more : the longer it's like that the longer I get a strong pass on social activities and can stay home reading comic books

Winter here in the Netherlands has been mild so far. We rarely have snowfall in December to begin with, but frost starts toward the end of it, and usually by early January we've seen our first snow. So far, we've had temperatures of 10-15 degrees C° (50-60° F), and it's only been this week that the northern provinces have experienced frost, resulting in slippery roads and some minor traffic accidents. In the south where I live, though, it's still fairly mild. Had a little stroll today in the outdoors.
One thing I miss about Amsterdam is going outside to the night shop for a last minute snack. It's 11 PM and everything's closed. After 2 years in this smalltown, I still miss those little urban comforts, though I do like the peace and quiet.

While the East of Germany has gotten really cold, we here in the west have not had temperatures dip below freezing even for one night. My chili plants in the backyard are all still alive and well.

New York City had a very mild December and a record setting temperature for Xmas day. We are paying for it now- the last few days are extremely cold and windy. It'll pretty much all even out like my luck, good followed by bad

Maybe a name change to Hot Jacuzzi is in order

I used to prefer winter, but as I get older (and I'm not old yet!) I find it makes me lazy. And my bones hurt. And I have, like, zero motivation in life. Blah. I need sunshine, and we have not had enough of that here.
