I remember going to school when the snow was over a meter deep and we couldn't open the back door because of it despite having a fairly tall back deck.

I remember (and still do occaisionally ) going to school when the temperature is below -40 degrees Celcius. By the way, -40 Celcius and Fahrenheit are the same thing. Now, I say "below" minus 40, because that's as low as the thermometer goes. Who knows how cold it really was!

Back in the late '80's, my dad was working as a logger up in Northern BC, around Fort Nelson. He remembers when the temperature was below -60 degrees Celcius, with a windchill of ~ -99 degrees. Now THAT is cold. [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/Cold.gif[/img]

ah, I remember when I was a kid and had to walk 5 miles to school in the snow.. ah those were the days...

We got over 16+ inches of the white stuff here do to the storm, I sympathize with AT, I had the same problem, except, my blower only did the top layer, since we also had freezing rain and sleet besides the snow, underneathe was all ice and slush and had to be shoveled by hand, (ugh, my aching back) and I have a double driveway to boot..

I already sent a letter to Santa, my state rep, my congressman and the Pres asking that from now on when we get storms like this that they send it to California instead of here they need to see a white Xmas once in awhile

70 is a little cold for beach bunnies. the nearly naked ones usually only come out when its in the 80s. well, at least in souther california. here in San Francisco, its usually pretty cold, so you will see some bikini's in the 70s. of course, the beaches and water tend to be f-ing freezing, so its usually just rather confused tourists or surfers in wet suits.

on Xmas day, it was downright frigid in the 50s. at night it made it all the way down to the 40s, and you could even see your breath. some people had to wear jackets. i'm not sure how cold snow is, but if its anything like a 40 degree night, you people are crazy to deal with it every year.
