    It's snowing here, but everyone here tells me this is not the real snow, so for lack of a better word I'll just call this pre-snow snow. It snowed yesterday too - looks nice, but it doesn't cover the ground - looks like it's melting before hitting the ground. I wish I had brought my camera :sigh:

              I asked about that - nope, this is not sleet. It's snow - but real powdery snow. And since it's only about -2 C now, it's not cold enough to stay as snow on the ground. But all the cars have snow on their roofs and it's beautiful :-)

                  I have it on my laptop - but I don't bring my laptop to work now because it's harder to walk in the cold with a weight on you. Once I get a car (hopefully soon), I'll start carrying my laptop with me once again :-)

                      Everyone with a car here tells me to wait for a while before I buy a car, but none of them can go one day without their cars :-)

                      Don't you have a CD player in your car? 2.5 hours of music should do you good - considering you code non-stop the rest of the day :-)

                          I think it's important (necessary) to own a car. But it would be great if you could rely on public tranny to go to work. My brother (who lives in Toronto) does exactly that and keeps reminding me how much he enjoys not having to put on zillions of miles on his wheels.

                              Kinda - Chris said there'll be plenty of snow. But I am sceptical as of now. If they don't give me more snow pretty soon, I am asking for my money back! I came here for the snow damnit! :rolleyes:

                                        In Alaska thay call that kind of snow "chicken feathers".

                                        Hey, this is getting interesting - it's hard to focus on my work. I just saw a lady spend 7-8 minutes wiping the snow off her car which was parked in the open parking lot :-D Good exercise for her - it was awesome, I've never seen this sort of thing before :-) And Smitha just went down to pick up some snow, she tried to bring it back to me, but it melted in the elevator (or so she said).

                                          It's snowing here, but everyone here tells me this is not the real snow, so for lack of a better word I'll just call this pre-snow snow. It snowed yesterday too - looks nice, but it doesn't cover the ground - looks like it's melting before hitting the ground. I wish I had brought my camera :sigh:

                                          I think what you see is the first 'snowflakes' of the season. If the snow is falling first time this season then it won't stick to the ground quickly. You can't make snow ball with the powder snow (or dry snow) and you can easily wipe it off on the cars. Chris should know about this one, as some ski resorts do have deep powder snow slopes. Accidents happend during the wet snow with all the slush on the ground. But you can make snow balls/snowman using wet snow. :rolleyes: Last but least is the ICE!!! (freezing rain on top of already snow which is already on the ground).. Try it to walk on it during Jan/Feb. :-D Also scrapping 2 inch thick ice on top of the car would be real fun ;)
