I was just wondering, that how many of you live in the country or area, where you have snowy winters? I live in Finland and we get snow all across the country. Winters can be pretty cold too, over (or should i say under) -20C/-4F.

Yes we get snow in Canada. Usually start getting it in November but I have seen flurries in October. We can and have gotten pounded by snow up until late April and I have seen it in May. Our weather is a POSIMO laugh.gif

It's pretty much same here. Atleast here in southern Finland.

Snows every winter here. The older I get the more I literally hate winter and would prefer some tropical weather (minus the tropical storms and hurricanes though). The ice usually arrives in January and February which is even worse than the snow.

The weather where I'm at is also a POSIMO too. laugh.gif

Living in Connecticut, we usually get 1-2 feet a winter. When I was younger, it felt like so much more. CT Gov website.

Up here near Albany, NY, I except similar conditions. Maybe a little harsher.

In Florida it's summer all year long!! LOL Kidding. We don't get snow where I'm at (Orlando), but further north towards the pandhandle they will see some flurries once in a blue moon. Usually we just get cold for a couple days in January/February and then its back into the 70's and 80's for the rest of the year. cool.gif Of course I say this now and come December we'll probably have a blizzard. LOL biggrin.gif

The only time I've seen snow is on TV.

If it gets under 12° C here I consider it freezing cold! huh.gif

We get a bit of snow up here in the Great White North EH!

Not many tornadoes nor hurricanes thankfully.

40 miles SE of Lake Erie so we get snow almost everyday for several months. Sometimes the gulf storms track toward us and if a northeaster is really huge we'll get some on the back side from that. 120"/year would be considered very light!

These days, since the seasons got screwed up to the point where plants and flowers don't know what time of the year it is, snow is totally unpredictable.

The weird thing is we can get days when it's bitterly cold and it rains, and other days when it's a lot milder, it snows.

You want a real mind-twister, take a look at latitudes of countries and cities and compare their weather patterns. For instance New York City is almost the same latitude as Barcelona Spain. Guess where I'd rather be during winter. wink.gif

I hope you can speak Catalan without a lisp.

I was there once for a few days on a course and I really enjoyed it especially the Paella and generous quantities of local wine provided by my hosts.

Nice. I slept on the beach for a month.

I live in new york, but we've not gotten much snow here on the island recently. Almost none at all this past winter.

In Australia not to far from where I am "North East Victoria" we get snow in winter.

I've lived all over Canada and it varies greatly in the amounts that we get. My parents have an acreage in the country and the driveway there is about 700 feet long. Some years the snow blows high enough to make 4-5 foot drifts when it snows and they have to use a tractor to plow the driveway.
