Pre-snow snow

Actually I envy you not having to drive to work.
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.

I have a CD/MP3 player, but usually listen to NPR on the way in. But but between you and me and 2 million CPians, I'd rather be hacking ASP .Net during my commute. Yes, I know I'm sick. :) /ravi My new year's resolution: 2048 x 1536 Home | Music | Articles | Freeware | Trips ravib(at)ravib(dot)com

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:
Did your nostrils froze together yet ? Are you in Canada on a "try-before-you-buy" kind of a deal ?

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".

I've heard it being called "snow flurries". Anyways, welcome to the "first-to-see-snow" club. :) - Malhar

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).

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 ;)

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 :-)

He left for Australia - and will probably be back only in Spring :-)

Yep, that's what this is. All the cars in the parking lot have snow on top :-) It's an awesome sight, really.

I came here for the snow damnit! :laugh: For me, a Minnesotan (which is in the utmost north US, bordered with Canada), it's funny hearing someone actually want snow. Well, besides my son who likes to build snowmen, snow hills, forts, and snow tunnels. :-) I really hate the bitter cold winters here. Nevermind the snow, which makes driving a hazzard. If I could, I would move to a tropical climate immediately. ;P

The top floor of the parking-only building nearby is looking all-white now - a thin carpet of this white powdery snowy substance. Awesome!!!

Evereyone says that, but no one does. People who live in cold climates secretly adore their winters I guess :-)

Yeah, but this is cool enough right now :-) Gives me a preview of what heavier snow will be like.

Nish, Patience, patience, patience. Remember... it is the middle of Fall. Still a month to go before winter starts. Can't remember anyone going through a Canadian winter and being disappointed about not seeing enough snow. JM

Nish, you're killing me i'm laughing so hard. This is even funnier than when Chris was describing his first winter here. These posts should be bookmarked, or put in your blog space. I'd like to see the transition in posts from "I wish I had brought my camera" to "I snowed again #%$#%#!%#!, I wish I was back home". ...cmk Save the whales - collect the whole set
