In the US i heard that alot of states are getting freezing rain this week.

cars have a solid SHELL of ice, it takes ten forevers to scrape em off, the drive relly really crefully, as ice is well disguised in the pavement. Branches get covered in ice, get heavy and crak, falling on power lines, cars, houses.
about every 15 mins i hear a siren somewhere (I live by a main road though, traffic is pretty constant)

I just LOVE freezing rain pissed.gif

So did any of you get it as well?

I despise hail (I'm assuming that's what you mean by freezing rain), but it never gets bad here. It's just annoying and I hate the way it decides to melt on you.

There is NO snow!
First there was hail
After that the rain just fell to the ground and FROZE!
Bushes seem to be armored!
Grass looks like tiberium!
Barks of Trees are frozen inside ice!

lol gufu. makes grass look like tiberium, well, I guess.

Freezing rain isn't really hail, it's liquid rain just cold enough where it lands and turns to ice. It coats EVERYTHING in ice; cars, plants, roads, power lines...makes things very dangerous.

No freezing rain here... it's just very cold. Last night it got so cold, the condensation on the INSIDE of one of our windows froze. Before I went to sleep the lowest temp I saw was around -16 degrees F/ -27 degrees C; afaik it got even colder later in the night.

I have had freezing rain very similar to that picture several times before... it is the biggest pain... brings down trees that have been standing for decades in a matter of seconds, branches all over the roads... powerlines/power poles all over the roads... ice blanketed EVERYTHING, and the people that worked to get the ice off their vehicles realized you couldn't even go anywhere. But that's when we all just brought out the ATV's smile.gif

But yea power would be out anywhere from a week to a month (in certain parts of my state), we're just not used to severe cold like that... 100 degrees in the summer, 70 in the winter... rarely 20 pinch.gif

Luckily for thoose who live long way south, they are not able to feel the global warming so much, I have noticed it this year, usually there's come snow like 2-3 times a week but now, snown once after new year
But the weather is getting better, The report tells us that tommorow it will be snow. This year has made full storms were I live, Which is very wierd. It has been some windy days which have made trees broken. luckily the global warming can also sometimes result in colder weather like last year. In march we got -13 F or -25 C. And I live by the ocean close to oslo. I think the record must be -30c or -22 F or something
In the colder places it has been like.... -50c I dunno in F but I think it is -60 F
This is something that has happened her in norway : Bus blown over
, Butterflies been spotted, storm in the most wind quiet area, no snow on the west coast, Very little snow here.
Coldest temprature is -10 C where I live
The weather tends to change alot at the moment.
Tommorow it'll start with snow, then a mix of snow and rain

what are you talking about? 21 Celsius is 70 Fahrenheit

a thing i cant say in english: vi har en gradestok som viser Fahrenheit og Celsius den viste 21 C er 70 F

0 C = 32 F

-70 fahreinheit ?????!!!! That is barely possible on earth.
Its like -100 C I think. You must be wrong. I have a book\formula on how to calculate.
and yes 32F = O C
-20 C = -4 F

And WTF ? snow in texas ? That's like snow in south spain!
We are having the warmest winter on ages when texas gets alot of snow unsure.gif
Wierd. But last year we sure got alot of snow. like 1 meter. Even then school didnt close a single day, just got alot of snow gym
