So how did this end up so far?

Sunny skies here, but it's below the freezing point all day. Tomorrow should be much nicer, though, and today is still much nicer than most of this winter has been.
I think this picture says it all...Doesn't seem to be showing any signs of stopping either \: Schools have been cancelled, dad got a day off.

We've been in the 80's most of this week, and I have a cold at the moment because it got chilly in the evenings the past two days and didn't wear a sweater. :x

Oh, uh, well, good luck with that. March snowstorms are evil.

Yup...As much as I'd love to help my dad shovel the snow, I'm in too much pain to lend a hand ): Also, that photo was a few hours ago so there's a couple additional inches that have piled up since then DX

I just hope that's not what I've got to look forward to later in the month. I only just today saw some grass for the first time since sometime in November, haha. And that grass I saw was grass that was actively cleared by the maintenance crew at my work. We're definitely not in the clear here. Won't be able to safely say it's ended until May.

EDIT: Weather joke that the poor souls like myself and Vanille Sky might find funny if it weren't so true, haha:

This place is literally getting so ridiculously hot, that the air coming from the Air conditioning unit, is warm. WARM! The grass is literally staring to dry up in a flash, like in the morning they look like they're dying, then just a few hours later they are so crunchy you could blow at it and they would break.

I hate the weather.

There should be a signature here somewhere.
I wonder where it's gone.

Stepped outside for the first time today and it's much nicer! Except it's like the calm before the storm because apparently there's supposed to be yet another snowstorm tomorrow...Canada, I'm getting tired of your ♥♥♥♥.
Canada's had some beautiful snow recently. I've got a friend who keeps showing me pictures of it. I'm so super jealous. I love snow but I grew up in Florida so I've never gotten to spend the time around it I want to.


You know what? This isn't about your feelings. A human life, with all its joys and all its pains, adding up over the course of decades, is worth far more than your brain's feelings of comfort or discomfort with a plan. Does computing the expected utility feel too cold-blooded for your taste? Well, that feeling isn't even a feather in the scales, when a life is at stake. Just shut up and multiply.

While it was nice most of yesterday, when it got late there were some crazy winds. Woke up to the lights in my room being out! D: But the internet and my microwave were just fine, though.

Would you like to have some? I'll ship some over to you, we have plenty. Why do people who generally live in the southern section of the Northern hemisphere closer to the equator want snow? D: Once in a while is fine and understandable, but you do not want Canadian winters.

Even more than the general lake effect snow? :o

I refer you to the concept of second winter. That would put you off of snow for the rest of your life. :P

Vanille, I don't think she knows about second winter. Should we tell her? :P but seriously second winter is probably apt to describe any snowfall and extended cold periods between the end of February and the end of May

That's a bit odd. Crappy wiring for the lights that you need to have an electrician replace, maybe?

Maybe have that AC unit looked at. Maybe. There's a point at which it's too warm to run the AC at Arctic or anywhere even remotely close to that, though, since too many people doing that could easily trigger a brownout (outage of power caused by strain caused by intense heat).

Well there's the lake too OTL I live on the edge of Lake Ontario, which only contributes even more to the weather >>;; And to be honest, I wasn't sure what second winter referred to XD

Now do you mean cool like in the 10 C to 20 C range, or immensely colder like the wonderful 5C it is here right now?

So glad I don't live near one of the lakes. That's some very undesirable snow levels.

I'm not sure myself, not being the originator, but I think the creator intended it to be a reaction to people here in Minnesota getting extremely excited about our recent warmup, since last year we were hit with a rare May snowstorm despite normally being in the clear at that point.

And I just looked and we've got some snow forecast for tomorrow and Tuesday. Wonder if it's just a dusting or if it'll turn into heavy snow. :x

Here in Ontario, the weather is bipolar.

One day the snow is melting, the next day it's all frozen again.

As of now, it's -8C which is quite warm. I can imagine we won't get grass til about the end of April or so. Despite my love for snow, I'm very excited to have the warm weather again where I can go for walks in a skirt and have my window open to let the warm breeze in. <3

The weather changes way too often here. Rainy one day, sunny the next, rinse and repeat. It's Autumn at the moment, so I'm expecting (and hoping) it gets a bit cooler.

Oh~ You live in Ontario too? Probably near my area then because that's how it was during the week. The past couple days there was a generous amount of sun exposure so the snow that accumulated on Wednesday has already disappeared! :D Can finally see the lawn again.

GRRRRRRRRRRR IT'S SNOWING AGAIN FML >:O

Wasn't Groundhog day six weeks ago? /me does not like.
LOL. Yeah, but apparently the Groundhog said there'd be more weeks of winter so...Enjoy! XD After such nice weather last week, this week is apparently going back down tens below 0. As someone who easily gets cold by stepping outside, bundled in layers of clothing, I do not like.

I prefer the cold to the heat. At least in the cold you can layer. Being nakey in summertime doesn't make you any cooler lol

That said, I'm in southern Ontario and as Eevee and Vanille Sky mentioned, we're bipolar right now. It was -20 last week. Today it was raining and 5C. I just want it to be over with lol

I definitely prefer warmer weather. Both extremes are pretty meh but when the sun is shining and the weather is warm I just feel happier lol. :P

It was a mix of chilly and warm today (Melbourne's strange like that) but I don't think we're going to have many more warm days for a while unfortunately :(
