View Full Version : Snow?? Here???
I am LMAO. We have a winter storm advisory in effect here in Sacramento. It's supposed to snow 1-3" within the next day or so. Yes, 1-3 INCHES. And everyone's freaking out! Businesses are opening late "due to weather" :rofl:
Only in Cali will you see people freaking out over 1-3" of snow heheheee. I'll be surprised if it sticks - but psyched if it does too :p. I put a sheet over my car windshield so it's not frozen when I go out in the morning. Might even have to keep Miley in the house tomorrow....
... WINTER STORM WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 4 AM TO NOON PST MONDAY...

I love the reactions of other states that never get snow when it does happen, :). I'm glad you're excited by the idea; you'll have to take pictures if it sticks!

Hah! Autozone is a global company... there's no way they'd think of lil' ol' us in Cali with 1-3" of snow :rofl: Mechanics still gotta bring in a paycheck don't they? (that's what we'd get if we asked for the day off). :blink:
Hahahaa....that sounds just like what happened in Texas this week. We got a touch of snow and schools were closing, businesses running on skeleton crews, etc. It snows for a few hours every few years and we get sooo excited! :yesnod:

Hehe! So did you get any snow out by you, or did it end up being just warnings?
We are supposed to get 2-4 inches by us today....

Around here when they say the "S" word everyone runs to the grocery store and buys up all the bread, toilet paper, and peanut butter. It's like they are expecting a storm of blizzard conditions. When I lived in Colorado where they actually have blizzards, they acted like it was nothing. Everyone stayed off the roads until the storm was over and then the roads were clear in about 10 minutes.

The Met Office in the UK forecast snow last week. It never happened. :bbconfused:
But this is the same Met office that MISSED a Hurricane that ripped through the South East in the early hours of the morning back in 1987. :blink:
I take all weather forecasts with a pinch of salt. I just look out the window.
If it's sunny, i go out.
If it's blowing a gale, i stay in.
If it's raining, i stay in and catch the drips from the Conservatory roof.
If it's snowing, i wrap up and go out to play. ;)
At the moment it's blowing a gale so i'm staying in.

The UK is exactly the same.
Why the sudden urge for Bread, Milk and Tins of Baked Beans. :rofl:
Trains come to a stand still because it's "The Wrong Kind Of Snow" :bbconfused:
Get a grip LOL.

The Comedian Michael McIntyre sums up the British snow with this YouTube clip.
We saw him live back in September. He looks at life the way i do.

Brenda - no snow stuck for us, but a little ways up the road (about 20 miles) got 6" last night.... we're just too low for anything to stick. It's 33* here and raining.... brrrr!

We got our first snow on Saturday and everyone was freaking out about it Friday night, running out for bread and milk. We will sometimes get a half inch or so but it's usually not until late February or early March and it usually melts by the time the sun comes up! I was really surprised to see it still on the ground by 10am Saturday. I didn't take any pictures though.

Awwww we took Miley to the snow for the first time the weekend of Thanksgiving. She LOVED it besides being freezing the whole time LOL. She played in it like a little kid :)
Not a chance of it sticking here though :( Well, I don't think so anyway.

Justina - there is a fellow in my cohort from Sacramento. Lived his whole life there, came to Buffalo for the first time last year. It started snowing, and he was still wearing shorts and biking to campus, and it was us (the native New Yorkers) who were like, what the heck are you doing?! It was funny because you'd think it'd be the other way around or something :lafhard:

I didn't think it ever got cold in California, let alone enough to snow!
It is chilly here, but supposed to warm up again on Wednesday, then get cold again :bbconfused:

We don't get snow here ever, only the occasional hail storm. It rained cats and dogs today and my neighbor was wearing her snow boots! We actually turned on our heater in the house today! It was chilly!
Brandi - you'd be surprised how much snow falls in California... but it's Northern CA and the eastern side of the state that gets it regularly. I'm dead in the middle of the valley so it's rare for us to see snow :)
Haley, we've been using our heater for a couple weeks. It's been in the 40/50's during the day so that's cold for me LOL! Tonight it's supposed to be 26*.... and 30 something tomorrow :blink:

That reminds me of when it would snow in Washington - everyone would freak out - it would be all over the news for days and the grocery stores would be packed...
Here no one even blinks. We have about 2-3 inches on the ground right now, and everyone is wondering where all the snow is this winter! LOL!

We had our first snow this morning. I woke up to pee at 6am and saw snow from the window, by 7:30am it was gone!

That's a bargain!! ;)
Bet the postage to the UK is a bummer though. I guess upwards of $1,500 P&P and it melts by the time it arrives.
All i get a bucket of water. :rofl:

I'll give you the favorite person discount. Only $1,400.99 P&P, and I'll even throw in a pair of gloves to keep your fingers toasty.
It was freezing cold again this morning - 23* I believe. But completely clear - no rain/snow until tomorrow supposedly.

Here are some pictures of our snow...I took these out my living room window, and with all the snow coming down and the water on the glass they are a little blurry...
Earlier today before the plows came through:

And just a second ago - they are doing a pretty good job keeping the roads cleared!

It is super windy right now, it has been all day. The snow is coming this way!
Our high today so far has been 39*... I think that's a record lowest high in our area :rofl:
There is still ice in the shade - that's unheard of!

39 degree's thats a heat wave. Better pull out my Speedo.

I read on Yahoo that the UK might get a White Christmas. Can't say i ever remember one growing up. But it only take one snow flake to fall on the Met Office Roof Christmas morning and it's declared a White Christmas.
Off to the Betting shop to place a bet.
Edit: Scrap that idea it's 2.13AM and they are shut. :rofl:

LOL!! Thats awesome. :D When people around here hear about 1-3 inches, i only hear an 'Ugh.' haha
And you girls are soooooooo right about the grocery store.. Lemme tell you. I don't understand why they want to come DURING and not before, though.. Seriously, if its gunna be bad soon, wait till after.. You don't need the 24 pack of water to make it through. lol!
