Burgeoning Battle Gamma Masquerade Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Ok, yesterday it was 34 degrees celcius and today there is thunder, lightning, rain and hail stones raining down from the sky. yeah, turns out you can have a white christmas in Australia, even if it it results in car damage and melts after 10 minutes. Is the weather as crazy everywhere else as it is here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ineffable Wingbolt Tirien Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Isnt it technically summer there? And yes, the weather has been crazy lately. Apparently, there was a tornado in Oregon not long ago, and having lived there for 19 years, I can tell you that that is not normal. This is my guess on what is causing this.

Yes out seasons are opposite to the seasons in the northern hemisphere because of the earths' tilt and position around the sun. We don't normally have this type of rain in summer, usually we would be very lucky (or unlucky if your driving) to get 10 minutes of hail each winter. Quote: It is.

Rotghroth Rhapsody RCCCL Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Here in Indy, we've gotten quite a bit of snow, in two major falls, one a couple of weekends ago, and just last night/this morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Ephesos Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 It iced in St. Louis yesterday, which made driving awesome. And we've had snow on the ground for a few days (admittedly not very much, but hey). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk nikki. Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 A few weeks ago we had about a foot and a half of snow, the most I've ever seen in England, and the ice has only just finished thawing (snow invariably turns to ice rather than melting away nicely here). Unfortunately, they have forecast the same again for this coming weekend - I say unfortunately, because having no car, and living a fair walk from any bus terminal really blows in that kind of weather. Looks pretty though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotghroth Rhapsody BJ Back From the Beyond Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 We had one of the coldest Novembers on record. It snowed. Repeatedly. I must have shoveled our walkways three times in one week, and around here you're not likely to do that in a single month. Of course, now that winter is getting ready to start, all the snow has melted. That's Idaho for ya. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Understated Ur-Drakon Callie Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 The entire year has been cool here. It only got into the 100's a few times in the summer, and the temperature has rarely rose above freezing over the past month. There was even a blizzard this year, which doesn't happen too often in Nevada. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well-Actually War Trall The Ratt Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Ah, winter Michigan driving. I remember having to drive forty or more minutes through 6 inches of snow to get to school on the days where it snowed at night. Slush, blizzards so intense that the tracks from the car in front of you are filled in by the time you get to them, digging out of ditches. I've done more than Michigan driving, I've done northern Michigan driving. Which, interestingly enough is nothing compared to most Canadian driving.

Michigan's requirements for a driver's license must be that you show up drunk and stay tat way, because there's no other way to explain how downright bad at driving they are.

Easygoing Eyebeast keira Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Montana driving is fun.

Ineffable Wingbolt Tirien Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 I dont think Nikki was saying it into a mirror either. Some of the people I see driving up to or from the canyon really needs to have their license taken from them. Ive seen people try to pass when the oncoming traffic isnt even 200 feet away.

Same here in Michigan. Every year, when the snow first starts falling, someone goes on the local news stations to tell people how they need to drive when there's snow & ice on the roads (drive slower, give yourself more time to stop, etc.). However, also every year, there's a large number of accidents during & immediately after the first snowfall, because some drivers mistakenly think that the laws of physics--let alone the rules of the road--don't apply to them.
