I'll take some of that snow :)

I love the snow - South West England is not a good place to live if you like the snow (big kids included)!

I'd love to live in Canada - looks great!

My brother-in-law lives in Québec city and they had it pretty rough this year too. He has a two story house and the snow comes up to the second floor windows !

He sent us pictures a few weeks ago via email. And it has snowed a few times since then !

They're predicting another snow storm this Wednesday.

Here's one of the pictures he sent... Keep in mind that it has snowed since at least a couple of times and that it will snow again this Wednesday, more than likely.

You can see a chimney and part of a roof on the upper left side. Not sure if that's one of his neighbour's house or his though.

In any case, that much snow is scary... :Oops:

We just got even more snow last night. I too am utterly sick of the snow. Somedays I wonder why I moved from East Tennessee which got maybe 2 inches of snow a year, all the way to Nova Scotia where I will see 7 or 8 foot of snow fall a year

I am a big kid - to me this is great - I can't believe people get sick of the snow :p

I guess you get sick of the white stuff after a while huh?

I know a lot of people that have moved away from nicer parts of the UK (my self included) and then noticed what they no longer have - i.e. beautiful hills or the moors or a nice coast-line. It's only when you don't have it that you actually miss it.

Ya know, it's Sunny and 73F her in SoCal. Maybe I'll go down to the beach for a bit.

You are reminding me that I should not have passed up my annual winter trip to the Big Island, for one later in the year. Of all the times I have been to the Big Island in the winter, I have never had the opportunity to photograph Mauna Kea, or Mauna Loa, with their snow caps in place. Now I wish I had not put the trip off... :(

For us, snowfall this winter season has been below average, in the DC area.... so anyone wanting to get rid of some snow, feel free to send some our way... :) I love the stuff.

I have sunny and 82F.

It always gets warmer in the Valley and LA. In August when it's 90 down there, it will still be Sunny and 73 up here. Mind you "down there" and "up here" are less than 75 miles apart too. The high today is set to be a beautiful 72.

Hey I'm in Ontario, too =) LOTS of snow lately, eh?!
It's been crazy here in London... I was up in St.Catharines and that was even worse.
You really need to take up snowboarding, then you'll appreciate it =P
It's really been cold and blustery though... I'm sick of it, too!

Well I finally found my pix of the snow on the volcano... It's 80 at my elevation though.
