This year was strange. It was -17 on wednesday, +7 on Christmass eve and +17 on Christmass. And yes, we get little snow every year, but as climate changes and it gets warmer, every year it is falls less and lasts for few days only.

EDIT: temperatures are Celsius, I don't have time or will right now to convert it
water boils at 100 and freezes at 0. Fahrenheit is about half celzius, do the math. Good night.

Merry Christmas!

Feliz Navidad

.... do the math.

No way, man! I don't DO math/science anymore, for ANYONE! Do it your own self, if you care. It's good enough for me to just say that it's bloody COLD out there! hehe

F= (C*9/5)+32
C= (F-32)*5/9

as said in N's post: 32 F= 0 C; 100 C= 212 F
and -40 F=-40C ... or is it:
-40 C=-40 F. i can't quite remember that part.

-17 C = -1.4 F

I have seen tempreatures around christmas vary from -28 F to 75 F and there is no real pattern. To see a white christmas is a rare treat here in Missouri.

Neurotic, Rhun, Holy man ... I bet you all have snow every year, huh?

We didn't get any fresh snow for Christmas this year, but I've probably got 6" of snow in the yard still from last week's storm.

How would it be to get warmer? This is one of the coldest Decembers that I can remember for us.

On a side note, I think I saw that Dallas had their first white Christmas in 80 years this year. Pretty cool, except for all the traffic problems it caused.

Yeah I'm sure not too many salt trucks/snow plows down there

Up here in Canada we had a whole bunch of rain that melted all the snow we had, ah well I didn't have to shovel it

And here's me feeling sorry for myself because a week long storm ruined our plans to eat Christmas dinner outside. To add insult to injury, the weather changed yesterday so we're back to warm and sunny with temperatures in the lower 20s C. However, the sun makes it feel hotter.

 

[Scott DeWar]

wow, that really is an insult!

On the side note of global warming, It has been said by my boss' cousin in germany that for the last 3 years it has never got warmenough towear shorts during the summer. Makes me question global waaarming. also the polar Ice caps are re-growing. Things that make you go Hmmmmm.
