Yay! I heard it snowed there

[Duke87 1,070]

I heard it was like a rock.

Hasn't here and is unlikely, and even if it does Al Gore deserves no credit.

No white Christmas for me here. Tahoe must be nice, though.

What's all this I'm hearing about snow? It's summer!

[Duke87 1,070]

Yes, well you live in upside-down world.

These hats don't fit like they used to... It's supposed to snow a lot today, but I'm trying not to get my hopes too high. It's only raining right now.

Snow/rain mix here today, should sufficiently transfer to pure snow in time for Christmas.

No snow here, just persistent rain and drizzle all week. At 8°C, it's quite mild here for this time of year.

Apparently there's a big storm coming later tonight/tomorrow, but it will be just rain around here. Might be snow further inland.

Got a bunch of rain, some hail, and a tiny bit of snow. And a lot of wind.

Can't speak on snow, but your always backwards with your seasons over there.

[Duke87 1,070]

(9253)

Never accept it if some hail. Demand that all hail!

So we finally got some snow! There's just not too much of it.

And for the record, if the world has ended, it forgot about me. Which is good, because it was pointed out that I still haven't seen the movie Airplane!, and need to do that.

Hey the world didn't end today! Now we can finish this thread!

No flaming meteors, but there was some more snow, so now everything's actually white, rather than the tiny patches that were there last night.

[Duke87 1,070]

(9257)

No snow here.

First day of winter, first legitimate snowfall here. First time I've worn a winter coat and boots since April.

[Fatherted 129]

It's been winter here for ages. Already been skiing lots. Welcome to Switzerland.

[astronelson 339]

No flaming meteorites to report here. No more than usual, anyway.

One of the most hilarious things I've heard my students and friends here talk about is the uniqueness/specialness of Japanese seasons. They have four seasons here! Except they don't, because winter here isn't really "winter" and they almost never get snow in the areas I've lived, and where I'm at now there's basically no snow at all. So, I show them pictures of Michigan and I'm like, "We have four seasons, you guys really have like three and a half."

*In all fairness, the west coast of Japan, the northeast region (Tohoku), and Hokkaido get copious amounts of snow. The west coast is even nicknamed Snow Country (Yukiguni). THOSE guys can talk about having four seasons. Anyone from Tokyo should think about it before they say it!

[Duke87 1,070]

Everywhere has four seasons... those seasons vary in distinctness, however.

[astronelson 339]

9263.

Those in the tropics may disagree with you on that point - there exist only two seasons in that part of the world, the wet season and the dry season.

[NMUSpidey 3,956]

Today, as we begin 'winter,' the Emperor of Japan turns one year older.

[Duke87 1,070]

Those in the tropics may disagree with you on that point - there exist only two seasons in that part of the world, the wet season and the dry season.

But equinoxes and solstices are a consequence of Earth's orbit and there are two of each per year regardless of where on the planet you are. Hence, four seasons.

Dude, it was Christmas Day here when you posted. Although as you said hundreds of pages ago, time zones are weird.

[astronelson 339]

It's very much Christmas Day here.
