Come winter in the Lonestar State... when it gets really miserable out there, you can enjoy the comforts of a central heating system with a natural gas-fired furnace. It may not be radiant heat with its wonderfully warm floors, but by god does it rarely ever fuck up.

Winter in Ottawa
|
|
We've had rain the past couple of nights (Albany, NY) and only a light dusting of snow a couple of times in the past few weeks. It doesn't really seem like winter here.
You can have our snow squall - come and get it!

We've had light snow overnight and this morning. That translates to a half-foot of accumulation in 12 hours.

Had a winter storm alert here in Niagara that got pulled at 4:00 AM this morning. About the same amount of snow here.

I spoke too soon apparently, we got about 1/2" of snow last night. Not enough to cause problems, but enough to signify that winter is indeed here.
We in Ypsilanti, Michigan had a rather heavy-looking snowfall yesterday and into the night, but all today the streets have been clear (albeit wet) with traffic moving at normal rates. The thermometer outside my window currently reads 2 degrees C.

We're getting off lightly compared to you guys. Dusting of snow last night, wiped out by a subsequent rainfall. It has yet to drop below freezing for more than a few hours.

It's still snowing. So far, we have 17cm - and we got off easy compared to some of the suburbs.
Some flights have been cancelled. Police have responded to 48 collisions since midnight.

Its... well, still in the 60's out here in Brentwood, Ca.

We got a couple of inches of snow in WNY. About half of it melted over the course of the day. We're in that "cold nights, warm-ish - okay, above freezing - days" phase.

I'm recalling just now how freaky it felt, stationed at Fort Polk in Louisiana, being able to sit out on the barracks front steps in shorts and flip-flops in mid-December. Of course, the minus side of that equation was the ungodly humid heat of mid-Spring through mid-Fall.

Meanwhile, in the Netherlands; drizzle (for the past 2 days) and a balmy average of something like 6 degrees Celsius. Well, balmy to you guys. We've had a couple of weeks with sub-zero temperature nights, but all together? Nope, not cold at all. Just really really grey, foggy, clouded and miserable.
Frankly, most here would prefer a few centimeters of snow and clear skies.
Your weather, compared to ours, isn't "balmy" - it's "tropical". Temperature forecast for Ottawa: today -6C, tonight -16C, Thursday -14C, Thursday night -25C, Friday -13C. Time to wear a sweater under the coat.

Someone should steal all the hyphens from your weatherman.
-- Bob --------- Then the horns kicked in... ...and my shoes began to squeak.
Clear skies, clear roads, bright and sunny ... and -7° C.

Gonna be a high of -13 C for us in Denver on Saturday.

Getting a nice snow squall tonight and another storm is about to sweep through on Friday evening.

13 degrees F and relatively clear here, just south of the Mason-Dixon line (literally, we're about 5 miles south of the Pennsylvania border). Not much in the way of snow currently. Projected low of 3 degrees tonight. Better than Pittsburgh; it's supposed to be down in the negatives tonight.

We are expecting, after the windchill, a high of -30C Friday.

2:30pm, -16C right now... and I just cleared my husband's car, and shoveled 5-6 inches off the driveway and right of way sidewalk. I'm not planning on going back outside today.
