Looks like gliding to work

[Opsa]

We'll be gliding here, too. Ice expected here tonight. Our "Nunsense" rehearsal got cancelled. Nothing sadder than a bunch of dead pseudonuns skidding all over the road.

Rain, rain, rain.

It got cold again but without really noticable new snow.
And this is the 16th day with the sun not showing around here (the previous record being 12 days in iirc 1964)

[Opsa]

The ice canceled school for today. It's pretty cold and sloppy now, but tomorrow we hope to be a bit milder.

Fogs across the province for the last few days, with hoar frost on all the trees.  Quite pretty, a bit of a pain to drive in.

[Scriblerus the Philosophe]

It's rained since Sunday. I think it's petering off finally.

[Bob in a quantum-state-of-faith]

Rain/fog mornings.  Sunny afternoons.

Yaay!

Temperatures are dropping and the sun is shining again

[Opsa]

We had a very mild weekend, but now it's snowing, again!

[Swatopluk]

In the double digits freezing cold. For Thursday slight thawing in combination with snow is announced. Another excuse for the railway corp. for the still rampant chaos.

Last night they were predicting zero to 2 inches of snow here today. This morning it's been changed to 3-6 inches. What next?!

[Sibling DavidH]

We had a little snow again.  It's mostly gone now, but the wind is dead north and pretty cold, so we couls have more any time.

[Opsa]

We had about four inches of powder yesterday. Very slick to drive on, but easy to sweep! I just went out and pushed it off our gravel driveway with a wide janitor's broom.

Stockholm today: close to 0°C, it came almost 15 cm of snow yesterday and more is on the way.

It's has been something of a record breaking winter here so far, as it has been cold for a longer period than usual the last 20 years.
It also means that all the snow that has fallen since late December (which isn't extremely much but still a fair amount) still is laying about, and our streets are still a terrible mess...

The snow that everybody wanted a month a go is now the No.1 whining subject amongst people taking the Underground to work in the mornings, most kids seems happy about it though.

Personally I prefer this kind of winter (as tedious as it might be to dig out the car from a snowbank at least twice a week), to mild winters with a few °C over freezing, damp sticky air, and supercooled rain... 

I just wish I owned a pair of cross-country skies, as that would be the easiest way to get to the underground station without slipping and falling.
