To turn this into a musical thread, I shall now post the lyrics to a lovely round by Susan Kisslinger, in answer to the topic at hand:

Snow, snow, snow snow
snow, snow, snow, snow
Snow is falling, falling, falling, falling, falling, falling,
Snow is falling, falling, falling, falling, falling, falling,
Down..............
Down..............


Lots of it here in southwestern NH, USA!

very cold and snowy, eastern pa, everyone's sleepy and annoyed, town is deserted, less snow then the weatherman predicted as usual, businesses closed early, people scrawling words on the cars

It hasn't been that bad in southeast Alaska, Dean, but it's seriously brutal farther north and in the interior of Alaska. Juneau has had zero temperatures for lows and up to 15 or so in the daytime but up there for the last two weeks some places they've been registering 45-64 MINUS.

The other day it was warmer in Barrow - at the top of the state and much closer to the North Pole - than it was in a number of places a great deal farther south.

In Anchorage, which is on the water, which means the ocean should be moderating the weather, they've been minus zero temperatures even in the daytime.

As they say, the world may end not with a bang but a whimper... :)

We (in Wash DC area) just had 2 weeks of cold rain & clouds...now we are in our 2nd day of chilly, but sunny weather. The forecast (so far) for the 2 million folks who intend to attend the inauguration doesn't look too bad.

Nothing extreme here right now in our spot of S.E. Michigan, just a light blanket of snow and chilly, but with a few more inches expected today and tomorrow.

Settled down to fairly steady rain this morning and kept it up all day. (Still raining -- it's about 6:30 p.m. here.) Low 70s (F.) Unbelievably humid. Thunderstorms earlier.

We've been having at least one thunderstorm a day for the past almost a week. Sometimes I've been driving in a total downpour but having to have my sunglasses on because of the sun and blue sky ahead. Lots of ground fog and patchy fog no higher than the trees -- very soft and layered landscape.

Changing -- yet again today. I can tell because my shoulder (broken in December and fixed with a plate and screws) feels as if a tight elastic girdle is squeezing it -- and layers of muscle are "sticking" as they pull away from each other. (Feeling sort of like your bare tush when it sticks to a caned chair seat when you stand up.) Not painful (like winter weather-related pain) but mildly uncomfortable. Stiff.)

Dawned fair and humid, had thunder showers, then steady rain, now -- who knows. Sigh.

We don't have any weather here today. The weatherman got sick. He couldn't do his report. There's nothing but a big, blank, indeterminate nothing out there right now. No rain, no sun, no clouds, no snow, no nothing. It's spooky.

Ebbie, what you saw were probably Choronomids. The look quite similar to mosquitoes when they hatch, but they don't bite. Some years here they even show up in January in large numbers amongst the salal.

My sympathies gnu, we're having a less extreme form of that kind of weather on this coast too. A sunny 26C yesterday and then the wind came up and blew all that lovely weather away. Its cloudy again and a low of 6 is predicted for tonight.

We keep getting tantalized with a few warm sunny days and then it gets chilly again....warm spring weather arrived really late this year. We had salmon berry still blooming last week, when some years its finished blooming in late February and early March.

Hello,

The weather here was delightful,
We've just had our dose of sun,
But true to the tradition
The rain has now begun!

We had a glorious April.
The weather felt like June.
But now it won't stop raining.
It's like a darn monsoon!

Best wishes,

Peter

Most of last week, it was close to 30C and sunny here in Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada. Tonight.......

Snow at times heavy becoming mixed with periods of ice pellets mixed with rain overnight. Snow and ice pellet amount 10 to 15 cm. Wind becoming northeast 30 km/h late this evening. Low zero.

Some fun in The Maritimes, eh?

Speaking of mosquitoes, Joe, in the Oregon mountains I've seen what appeared to be mosquitoes IN the snow. I don't know what else they could have been.

Anyway, the Weather Service is forecasting a blizzard, of all things, for Juneau today beginning around noon. It's just past 10:00 right now and fine snow is flinging about. They tell us that we're expecting 8 to 14 inches accumulation, with winds up to 65 mph.

We'll see. By the way, it is COLD.

Well, our latest snow advisory has been cancelled. We got only about 4 inches this latest go 'round. Temperature is 17F and we expect a low of 12 tonight. We're supposed to be heading into single digit lows in the next few days.

I haven't heard lately how much snow we've had this winter but it's way above normal for us.

For some reason I expect Spring to arrive with a crash. And maybe a warm (for us) summer. Last summer was so cool and wet that no one was happy.

Been a great winter so far, eh, sIx? Here in Moncton, it has been an old fasioned no-snow winter. That is, colder than a you know! We might have had about a metre or so all together. Only about a half metre on the ground now. Temps have been -15 to -25 overnight, usually around -15 daytime. WC (windchill) -20 to -35 most of the time. EXCELLENT winter so far!

Snow!

That's our weather today here in Colfax, California, at an elevation of 2,300 feet in the Sierra Nevada Foothills. This is the first time we've had snow this season, so it was wonderful to see. We had no precipitation at all in January, so it's going to take some heavy weather to get us up to our 40-inch annual average rainfall and give us some decent spring wildflowers.
We have lots of daffodils in the snow, though. Julian of Norwich would be proud of us - camellias and almond blossoms, too.

In Juneau it's snowing again. The tricky part for walking is the fluffy stuff on top of the previous packed snow and ice.

It's supposed to be warming up. A high of 25F forecast today- tomorrow in the mid30s.
