I was walking around in flip-flops yesterday under beaming, warm sunshine. Today it's cold, dreary and gray, with rain in the forecast for New Year's Eve, however we've had very little rain this winter, compared to years past. I'm not minding, though - we had flooding last New Year's. Except for one blustery heavy rainstorm this past week, it's been lovely.

Just as I suspected! You can direct it to your east, about 5 states over. We're the state right below Lake Erie on the map! The only snow we've had all winter was clear back around Halloween, a paltry dusting at that. I think those NE Ohioans got a good dumping of it (thanks to the "Lake effect") a while ago, but

they didn't share either.

Tell me about it. Here it is usually -35 C and this year it's been right around the freezing point and raining non-stop. I love snow, but rain depresses me. It's really cold MASS quantites of rain. And more rain. Everynow and then it'll go a few degrees below and the town is a skating rink of disasters. I wish it would just snow and stay that way. We had one inch of snow in september, then over 70 days of non-stop rain. We got a day and a half of mild pleasent-ness, then back to the rain!

I hate rain! I live in canada to get snow, not rain. :P the annoying part is it's bitter cold, but raining. The wind chill around here is insane, so. To sum it up.

1) It's freezing cold
2) It's mega-windy, just to add some cold-ness.
3)The rain is about 30 degrees F, to give you more of a chill
4) the roads are a death trap.

And NO snow! Just depressing, cold rain! I hate rain and love snow, something is wrong with this picture.

I all my years of living here, this is the first time we've had no snow on Christmas

. In all my photos of past christmases, we've ALWAYS had between 2-4 feet of snow.

Thanks, I've wanted to rant about this for a while.

Its been an off & on blizzard all day here... LOVE IT! However I was still upset at the lack of snow

I wanted to see the 8' snow hills in the middle of the street again.

Back home in Toronto, I'm being told its nothing but rain & cool weather. It snowed a tiny bit, but melted

In the 2 winters I've lived in Toronto, I haven't had the need to lift a shovel lol

our weather is so insane over here lol when I went to saskatoon for a concert in late november, the streets there were snowly and cold, but here? in the queen city one -50*C? there was no snow and it was in the +'s lol now in December we have only just started getting snow that stays..sort of. one day its -30*C the next its +6*C no exaduartion. one day it snows the next it rains. I dont mind one bit, getting weather like this is extremly rare for the canadian prairies so I sure as heck aint complaining!

FL=Sunshine State
I wish it wasn't so hot and sunny here so much.I can't wait to move to NM.

**lisalee** · 12-31-2006, 04:17 PM

I'm not enjoying this winter weather were so far having.

It's been a little above average and a bit chilly too at times, but not the kind of December weather I like, I prefer 30's and snow. Lots of snow, I adore snow and I just don't think were going to see any this year.

I guess I will just have to settle for the rain and cloudy days, still beats summer though.

You can have as much of this as you want:

Or you can buy some on eBay! Colorado woman sells snow from blizzards on eBay

Good 'ol California. It has actually been warmer than usual here.
Although, I am just glad we have power this New Year's weekend. Last year it was out ALL weekend. No power on New Years Eve, that was a sad year.

We go to Tahoe for snow, and I think they have plenty there right now.
