I thought everyone would get a kick out of the fact that it is snowing in Dallas, Texas. For those of you who do not know where that is or why that is so special, it does not usually snow here, to warm.
Anyway, enjoy the laugh.

awesome i wish it would snow here
wish i would have joined the forums sooner, i would've sent u a box full of it :p:
me to i love snow and the -35c weather that came with it. jokes aside it looks like a sloppy mess, maybe you will have to plug in your car :shrug:
Love the pics, man.
There's snow on the ground in Dallas, but in New York, it's 50 degrees out. :ROTF:
pussies... I have 12 feets of snow on the front of my house ;)
yeah, i got a 12' bank out my front door and its like -30C at 3:00pm. :p gota love the rockies!!
Had enough of the white stuff this winter...

Nothing more riveting that shoveling roofs after buildings start collapsing all over town..:down:
Let the sun shine!!!:D
Matter of fact, in our area, we are in the way to break a record with over 416 CM as of today while the previous recort is 393 CM. The whole winter record is 457 CM and we are expecting another snowstorm saturday (mind you, we got thru one yesterday with 35 CM of snow).
For the metric challenged :
416 CM = 13.65 feets
457 CM = 15 feets
35 CM = 13.8 inches

I like a little snow, but this year was getting old. Finally getting some grass to show through in places....so it IS melting...
You guys are lucky; out around the DC metropolitan area, we haven't seen much in the way of decent snow storms this year. We get the occasional flurries, but from a snow sports standpoint, this year has been crap. I've only gone skiing a few times, since every single resort has almost zero fresh snow.
Oh well, 'least it means I'll be getting out of school earlier
you guys and your snow!!!
lol come on over to Aus for some hot sunny weather!
woot for breaking 462in this winter. about to break our year total record too. for thoes conversion chalenged, thats 1172 cm's WOOOT. now im gona go drown myself in this stuff. :p
snow is no problem but when its effectively -50 to -56c (50km/h wind) for a straight week it hurts :shakes:
but looks to be -3 this weekend so maybe i will take out the shorts? :yepp:
lol, nice. u could do some extreme benching out side if you were brave enough :p/ or some sick kite boarding, sking.
Thats actually bad news...another reminder that the planet is going bonkers
Yeah, I remember those days, I use lived in Thorton a few years back and I do miss the snow, but more importantly, the snow boarding, :DQuote:

But hey, if I had 10 feet of snow outside I would just put my rad out there and post in the chiller section. :D

i used to have a bench setup in a small basment room with vga cables running thru the wall, it worked really well with wireless keyboard/mouse.. until i had to go reset cmos...Quote:

Wow, you must have a REALLY good water setup to get your q6600 to run at 3.6Mhz...
;)
yes, well, here in Maine we just got ANOTHER 3", on top of the ridiculous amount we already had on the ground, which makes it look something like this:Quote:

Snow is great...so long as it's snow. Most of the time fortunately, but in this case UNfortunately, Maine gets 4 seasons of weather, every season.
hmm, I wish it would have snowed here this winter. They're reporting that it's been the warmest winter in 250 yrs here in Sweden. . .. I think we had 4 days of snow, and a hundred days of crappy rain.
yeah, my friend was up in Estonia for a Scando Cup Nordic race and said they barely had enough snow to race on. crazy.
:ROTF: Whimp! A couple of years ago, we got ~9.5'(~290cm).....in 24hrs......Ahh, the good 'ol days, I miss them. This year has been crap. The temp on Thurs was around 40ºF and there is only ~ 1.5"-2" of snow on the ground. I'm looking forward to hopefully getting hit kind of hard by this new storm. This whole winter has been snow-melt-snow-melt, I've seen more grass during this winter than the past 10 years combined.:shakes:Quote:

high humidity
Sorry for so many pictures :D
nice pics though :)
Mega sunny here in the UK on the south west coast! Cold but in the sun it's like a summers day!
Nice pics. Missing snowy winters here. :(
Snow is just a mythological phenomenon that some people say is true but around here, folks just don't buy it. Much like Dragons, Big Foot or Alien landings in Roswell, I have seen many people post pictures of it, but I think this is really just one of those mass conspiracy kinda things where alot of pranksters post pictures of 'snow in their front yards', just to throw others off :D
Maybe someday, I will get down to McMurdo and see if this 'snow' thing is really true or not.

This is somewhat under an overhang, has been shoveled many times already, and there is still enough for the door to push around.

Yeah, the gray one by the roll-up door in the back of the warehouse is mine and the black one in the front is Quoc's. After all, gotta find some way to keep Uncle Sam from robbing us blind :rolleyes: :DQuote:
