As much of an inconvenience this snow is you couldn't pay me enough to move down there.

This has been a terrible year down there for these storms. They saying at least 215 dead so far in this last series of tornadoes.

Very sad - terrible few weeks for them

A few more flakes in comparison - we can't complain really.

Puts my weather woes into perspective (both Steve's photo, and the news from the US.) It's beautifully sunny here but only 12C and until I saw this thread I was bemoaning the fact that it's too cold for our tortoises to go into their outdoor enclosures...

You noticed.

I like to think it's more in frustration than anger.

No snow out here in the ridge; though it got down to 2C last night. And it's pissing it down again as well.

I'm really hoping May will see an improvement. I'm sick of this crap now - where the **** is the decent weather?

Lovely blue skies and +12C today, about 200km north of Fort Mac.

Now, where's my sunscreen?
