Yep. The lack of sunshine makes people depressed around here. It's some sort of Northern countries sickness during winter.

It's cold -11��C or 13��F, but normal, maybe even hot for January. The humidity is killing us though. No matter how many layers you have on, you're freezing. It's like having your bones replaced with ice.

The only solutions: hot soup and hot chocolate. Yummy...

Oh yeah I forgot to say that all three major airports (JFK, LaGaurdia and Newark) are shut down in this "Blizzard of '06" ....and it is still snowing!

So I've heard. Almost up to 2 feet of snow.

There's a chance that schools and some businesses will be closed tomorrow.

Maybe. Only because that as soon as they plow or shovel it, the snow keeps coming down. I've got at least 2 feet on Long Island. There are at least 1300 homes without electricity. The news casters have told everyone to stay off the roads, over and over again. So I think the school children's prayers will be heard!

quite cold here...in Netherlands at this time of year you have to stand the chilling wind blowing into your bone, Gees, how does the weather alway go like this? it may snow tomorrow, i guess. really hate the wet cold day!!!

Well, New York City is blanketed in a sheet of snow today.
A horrible blizzard hit the tristate area and now its nothing outside but just the snow. I think it will reach up for 18 inches in the city!
It's been awhile since New York had such a bad snow storm.

warm temperatures for February, gotta love the weather here in SoCal, 82 degrees.

Sure Q just go ahead and rub our faces in it!!! 82 degrees!!!! I just saw on the news that NYC got a record breaking 26.9 inches of snow in Central Park today. I have 13 inches of snow in my yard, not counting the snow drifts. You just wait I will be sending all of you SoCal folks some snow balls.

Say tabana and Shindou did Canada get much snow recently? Usually our storms come from your direction.

We got some last week and probably a few flurries this week but I think the brunt of the storm that hit NYC will be headed for the East Coast. And here I was hoping for a snow day tmrw

Still cold tho.
