man.... ive been trapped in the house for 4 days now.... its driving me nuts! the snow will not let up here. and we are supposed to get freezing rain tomorrow. woo hoo!!! im never getting out of here....
 
Try to remain calm. I think 'winter' is the name of your condition. As far as I've read the only cure is to move south. I myself am having similar issues right now, but I choose to pretend the snow is sand and convince myself I'm on the beach.
 
Are you getting a lot of drifting up there in Hampshire, Jake? I barely made it to Batavia today - I saw cars all over in the ditches. I'm sure our Canadian brethren are having a rough time as well. I guess I will just hunker down for the day and hope the roads get better for work tomorrow.
 
We got 10 inches, but we've got a balmy -16C with -29C wind chill (30-50mph gusts).

Trust me Jacq, you don't want it. At those temperatures, any exposed skin is at risk of frostbite in just seconds.

Nothing like 1mm of snow to totally bring the UK to a standstill.

Please be fair it depends on the type of snow! - just like the different types of fallen leaves on the rail tracks can stop the railways :rolleyes:

Even in Minnesota, the Great White North, the first snow of the season results in a whole legions of cars in the ditch, accidents everywhere and people driving 20mph on perfectly cleared freeways. Good gravy people it snows every year for months.

Air temp today is -23C with a -32C windchill.
 
wow, and i thought my city was cold.....
We are reputed to be one of the coldest cities in spain, and some years we get about 50-60 cm of snow in the middle of the city (i loooooove it). Not bad for a mediterranean country.
However, where i study it rarely snows and when it does it´s never over a few centimetres.....yet people still go mad, and you can even see people from parts of spain where it never snows get very excited and even cry xDD
I find it incredibly funny to see someone crying over a couple cm of snow.....
 
hey guys, i cant say i wish we had snow here in florida. i hate the cold. sucks fo uuuu! jk but yea that doesnt sound funn...at least its possable for u guys to breed ur newts and salamanders and watnot. with the cold tempuratures. its almost impossable for me. im new here. just joined. looks like fun! i got 3 empty tanks and trading so just saying hi to some fellow members...hi!

I have no idea how many times I said that this week.

With all the blowing and drifting snow, we've had some problems with snow plows keeping up. Especially since the Governer thinks she can save money by not plowing the roads as much. Of course, the only people cashing in on that are the tow-truck drivers. I think after all the cars I saw in the ditch this weekend, I might rethink Richard's thoughts of buying a tow truck.

Today it's a lovely -8C, with a -15C wind chill. Not quite as chilly as Minnesota, but still makes for no fun. Wading through 3-4 foot snow drifts to get to the car is not my idea of a good time.

That's practically balmy! :p Sounds like you guys got the raw end of the snow stick, though. This snow fall has made me very pleased with my new garage and plowed alley, but you certainly seem to have it worse.
 
Send some that weather (yes the cold too) down to Australia would you?? Its better then the humid 37C or 98F we have been having:D
 
My daughter wants some snow too but I'll settle for the status quo, a damp 10C (50F) still and no wind chill.

I've cleared accumulated leaves from the edge of the drive and at the same time replenished stocks of earthworms so the axolotls are happy too!

I hope you escape soon.

    with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??

    Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
