Devildust76 Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 I will keep an open mind for snow, but i won't hold my breath. Can't see it happening to be honest Kodi is very disappointed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stormchaser09 Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 i think they are so afraid of getting hit by a major storm that they overestimate the severity of the forecast so that everyone is prepared for the worst then nothing happens.

LittleLuka Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 Lol it was 28F the other weekend here. No big deal at all.... Snow here is disappointing though we only get a few inches.

BlueWolf Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 I've been told that the chill temperature is much more lower in the Netherlands (and I assume good part of GB too) since it's always humid because of its location next to the sea. My dad once told me he met a guy from northern Sweden that came over to the Netherlands. He told him that it was cooler over here than he had ever felt in Sweden while surrounded with snow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dad once told me he met a guy from northern Sweden that came over to the Netherlands. He told him that it was cooler over here than he had ever felt in Sweden while surrounded with snow Yeah, humidity is a HUGE factor. Where my parents live, 6 hours south of where I am right now for school, its very humid (in between the Great Lakes). When it is -10 C down there, because of the humidity, it feels like it would be -20 or -25 C up here where the air is much drier. The more humid the air is, the more the cold feels like it 'soaks' down to your bones, the harder it is to keep warm/warm up, and the longer it takes for the air temperature to warm up during the day.

BlueWolf Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 Think we should throw away al our numbers (celcius/farhenheit) and just tell how cold it FELT today. Would prevent a lot of unit/geographic/humid confusion Lets compare it with each other. How did the temperature felt in your area today? I've been outside for 5 hours today. There was a slight breeze. Took only half an hour to lose the feelings in my fingers and another 30 minutes for all feelings in my hands (with gloves on). Still no snow today though.

I can hear the weathermen now: "Today it will be mostly 'mildly cold', but at night it will drop down to 'OMG SO Fing FREEZING!!"

Zoya&EisasMom Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 its bad isn't it when everyone here panics and in the US they get 10 inches and don't bat an eyelid! ...that's true only in some parts of the US. My sister lives in extreme northern Wisconsin where they get anywhere from 100-200 inches a season(Oct-March). Their final count last year was 170 inches. They love it....if you can't get your car out, just jump on the snow machine! It's all part of life in the Great Northwoods. Now, if it snows a few inches in the Southern states....that can become a real mess! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueWolf Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 It snowed a bit earlier today. Though this morning when I had to drive to my new internship (aka being on time for the first day of work!!) I found out my windows where covered with a tick layer of ice.. on the inside :eek: That weren't fun 20 minutes when I tried to get it off while slowly starting to panic as I saw the time crawling by on my watch! (Don't worry, I still managed to get there on a reasonable time ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
