About to nail the hell out of Chicago, IL....yesterday it was 61 degrees here; however, tonight we are "supposed" to get 3-6 inches of snow and the high all next week is gong to be less than 20 degrees...

BRING IT ON!

I'll install a force field around the parameter of the city and hopefully that'll work...

Winter is currently occurring in the Northern Hemisphere of the planet Earth.

I believe Summer in currently in the Southern Hemisphere.

OldManMac · Jan 3, 2004, 04:38 PM

We were just talking about snowshoeing, on another forum I'm on, and I was remarking how we hardly ever get enough snow in lower Michigan anymore to use snowshoes. According to the news; we could get 6 - 10 inches in the next couple of days! Bring it on.

bradoesch · Jan 3, 2004, 04:45 PM

Winter does suck right now. I'd be kicking myself if I bought insurance and a trail permit for the snowmobile this season.

InterfaceGuy · 05:05 PM

Currently 72 in Nashville, Tennessee. Its been in the high 60s for the last week but the weather dude says its gonna be back in the low 40s next week. I was kinda hoping we'd just skip winter this year but I expect snow any day now.

Hope you mean 72�F, or I feel really sorry for you.

The same probably goes for folks who bought a lot of shares of natural gas and kerosene...

Represent Michigan! This winter has been terrible. Nie one drop of snow on the ground currently, but we did get a couple inches for Christmas day up here in Grand Rapids. I haven't been too angry though, since knee surgery has kept me back from snowboarding this season.

It does look like Michigan is going to get pounded with some snow late tonite and tomorrow though, just in time for my 4 hour drive back to school.

KarlG, what city in MI are you from?

I was distinctly not watching weather forecasts cause I knew that day would come.

keekeeree · Jan 3, 2004, 05:32 PM

We've had a couple small snow storms here, but warmer than normal temps have melted most of that away. Winter temps are arriving here for us tonight and through the week:

Tonight: ChanceSnow
Lo 2�F

Sunday: ChanceSnow
Hi 9�F
Lo -7�F

Monday: Mostly Sunny
Hi 8�F
Lo -9�F

Tuesday: Partly Cloudy
Hi 5�F
Lo -7�F

Wednesday: Partly Cloudy
Hi 11�F

Cold stuff, but by no means am I kidding myself that it's as cold as we'll get this winter.

Stuphalina · Jan 3, 2004, 07:25 PM

Gah. I just got back from a vacation in Florida and came home to freezing rain and all that cr*p.

The next city in Michigan to get one should be Grand Rapids (logically thinking).

The only decent Mac retailer around here tries to rip me off anytime I go in, so an Apple Store would be a welcome change!

Veronica · Jan 3, 2004, 09:07 PM

Err... guess where the winter is? NORWAY! Argh...!

Eriamjh · Jan 3, 2004, 09:39 PM

Detroit is supposed to get 6-10 inches by Sunday night.

Thanks for ruining my nice warm winter.

Bah. You guys are pussies! I spent Christmas in Toronto and there was MAXIMUM GOATAGE. Rain on Christmas Day? What kind of shi� is that?

I got off the plane to -21 in Edmonton yesterday...which quickly dropped to a balmy -36 when I ran to the movie store last night...

Be happy you get to stay where you are. I am supposed to fly out of Ohare tomorrow. That's gonna be a fun 8 hours in the airport.
I am just keeping my fingers crossed there will be an abundance of coeds flying out back to school in the airport bar.

I live near St. Louis, before I came every other Winter had a blizzard (or so the old people say) so they're pretty used to getting 8+ inches. Too bad the largest snowfall I've seen in my lifetime is 6 inches. I hate global warming. IT'S JANUARY! IT SHOULD NOT HAVE RAINED MORE IN THE LAST TWO MONTHS THAN IT DID ALL SUMMER

Cipher13 · Jan 4, 2004, 01:26 AM

Where is winter indeed... 38�C / 100.4�F.

What he said.

How I love Edmonton, where the high temperature is -20.

Jens Peter · Jan 4, 2004, 09:41 AM

It has been snowing here for a couple of hours, now it's so white and pretty. The winter is here !

DBursey · Jan 4, 2004, 11:13 AM

The Toronto area is experiencing another mild winter. Yesterday I noticed that my crocuses (croci?) are all pushing through the mulch! They're in for a frosty reception if January ever returns to normal in southern Ontario.

This is what it looks like out my window at 1:15 PM on 1/4/2004�

wdlove · Jan 4, 2004, 04:18 PM

Today we are having rain and T's in the upper 40's today. Later this week they are predicting T's in the 20's with low's near 0.

2004 Polaris 600 XC SP sitting in the garage, 0 miles this season.
The snowmobile tour company I work for shut down today. We should be open later this week if we get some snow. Where is winter? It started strong...

waxcrash, it's not winter if you can see the road.
