October 11, 201115 yr We don't really have much of a spring or fall. It usually goes straight out of summer, into winter, and then straight back into summer.
October 11, 201115 yr hey hey hey. Give Nevada some love snow. I'll take the amount that'll get me a snow day "I'm outta here school, time to throw snowballs at my friends' faces" Whoohoo Spongebob gif! :D LOL nice. So...why do you all want snow? Don't you all hate it? I thought snow was bad. We don't really have much of a spring or fall. It usually goes straight out of summer, into winter, and then straight back into summer And my place has no winter and summer! There is just spring, goes straight into fall, then back to spring again. It almost never snows, and lately, even extreme heat waves have been rare! We have had virtually NO summer at all for the past couple of years!

We have had virtually NO summer at all for the past couple of years! I think snow is more of a novelty to those that have either never gotten any, or don't get it often. My husband is from Florida and had never seen snow until he moved to Colorado. The first significant snow after he moved here, he was outside for 3 hours building a snowman with the neighbor. :rolleyes_anim: Those of us who have dealt with a lot of snow (I've spent my whole life in Colorado), are tired of it and the cold and hassles that come with it. That's honestly what I'd prefer. I'd rather live somewhere that's fairly mild all the time.

That's honestly what I'd prefer. I'd rather live somewhere that's fairly mild all the time. Snow is a novelty to me, too, cos it seldom happens. We get half an inch of snow and schools are closed. :P And I can relate to your husband. When I tell many others about my climate, everybody wants to live in my town immediately. Oh, I forgot to mention: ALL IT EVER DOES HERE IS RAIN!!!!!!!!!! That's why I want to move to California.
October 11, 201115 yr I used to adore snow until I had to start driving in it. Plus, our college hardly ever closes due to weather and we commute to class (40 minutes away) so they won't cancel just because people in our town are snowed in . . . which means I miss class for no reason . . . Luckily that hasn't happened yet but I could see it occurring.
October 11, 201115 yr Same here. I always loved snow growing up, but now, I don't like driving in it, it makes me nervous. I remember when I was younger, the superintendent of my school district was from Alaska. We almost never had snow days. He left and went back to Alaska years ago. He's still remembered for that. He passed away a few months ago, and there was an article in the local newspaper, mentioning that he was most well known for not calling snow days, due to being from Alaska and not being impressed by Colorado's snow storms.
October 11, 201115 yr Yikes! I remember one day when all the parents were mad because our superintendent called classes due to heat one day, but not the next. Yet the next day it was even hotter and the air conditioning wasn't working at a lot of the schools . . .
October 11, 201115 yr We never had days called for heat, but they did adjust the school year to start a little later, and run longer, because the schools in my district didn't have AC and it was just too hot.
October 11, 201115 yr This was about five or so years ago. From what I understand, all the schools in that area just decided to start later to avoid heat issues. Where I'm at now, the high school and all the lower grades just have half days or early dismal days for the first two weeks, also because of the heat. Also, to the 40+ guests reading: Join TDN! What have you got to lose?
October 11, 201115 yr Yes to the above! Wow... we've actually never had severe heat problems. Here, it's usually just cold and the highest ever temperature was like 25C (degrees)
October 11, 201115 yr Also, to the 40+ guests reading: Join TDN! What have you got to lose? Yes! We've been having a lot of guests on this board. They definitely need to join us. :yes:
October 11, 201115 yr I find it interesting that guests like reading about the weather (as we're discussing at the moment)
October 11, 201115 yr But I find the weather fascinating! There's even a TDN law named after me that has to do with weather: Spritzie's Law This law takes effect when weather is mentioned and it spreads into a full blown topic. The primary way of starting this conversation is when someone (usually Spritzie) talks about how cold it is in the area, and then rants about it. Another person discusses the weather in their area, and it repeats until it becomes the main discussion.
October 11, 201115 yr For the love of god, what is wrong with my school. Today: Fight nearly breaks out; is only avoided by the other guy staying on the school bus. The challenger is your stereotypical wannabe ghetto gangster black guy. The other guy is a small black boy who's scared out of his wits by this confrontation. The apparent reason the wanna-be wants to fight the smaller guy is because he's asking his out sister out and one of my bus-friends is being stressed out by an overload of school work 4 projects Lots of homework LONG HOMEWORK (ex: his pre-calc homework is usually at least 50 problems long) said projects are all due on Friday Dang it life, I was just about to start being an optimist again
October 12, 201115 yr Awwh. :( OMIGOSH, GOOGLE IS STALKING US. All the best with school and everything. It doesn't make life much better but it's good, right? :laughingsmiley: We had LAMDA examinations, and we were told to ask the examiner about the weather, like Me: Good morning! Examiner: Good morning is your name (so-and-so)? Me: Yes. Examiner: Please take a seat. Me: Thank you, so, how are you finding Singapore weather? *insert polite smiley face* Apparently, British people can "talk about the weather all day"!
October 12, 201115 yr And while the rest of the country has to deal with extreme heat, my part of the woods doesn't. It hardly gets above 90 degrees in the summer, and when it does, it's rare.
October 12, 201115 yr Apparently, the weather here is typically clear, but sometimes with occasional, loud rain.
October 12, 201115 yr Let's talk about.... NOT THE WEATHER. Seen any good movies? I just watched Johnny English Reborn (Hilarious) and Dolphin Tale. Sweet, but not really worth the money.
October 12, 201115 yr Come on! That's one of the laws of TDN. The conversation will eventually, when you might least expect it, get back to either food, or weather.
October 12, 201115 yr lol! How about we talk about food for a change of weather, then? [/bad joke] xD
October 12, 201115 yr :laughingsmiley: Well said. But it's too early (8:30 am here) for a food discussion.
October 12, 201115 yr Well, I believe that it's never too early (or too late) to talk about food! :yes: But then again, it's perfectly normal for me to eat popcorn in the morning...
October 12, 201115 yr I'm stuck at work and I didn't have time to have breakfast before I left. All I have is a bag of potato chips in my desk drawer.
