(40,416 posts)It never got above 90 F this summer here.
Recently, summers have been cool here; winters warm and dry. Yup! There are still many days below zero F in winter, but the snow has been light.
With this very unusual early cold snap, I fear for this upcoming winter. Where I live there are few paved roads. Snow can be a terrible burden. And my furnace burns heating oil which is fucking expensive. 500 gallons doesnt get me through winter. Price diesel fuel and you'll know about what I pay.
At my age, there is no more snow shoveling, so I have to pay for that. Hopefully my 22 year old car holds together. At least I have snow tires.
You can send all the heat you want my way, yui. I'd gladly accept it.

I was born and raised in Detroit, within the city limits, until my late 30's. Then I moved around a bit.
SoCal weather is not like SF area weather, which is usually cool.
Have a gin and tonic with lime this evening. That will refresh you.
My best to you.

(40,416 posts)They dump tons and tons of snow then make for bitter, bitter cold. They are right out of the arctic.
I suppose we've had more moderate winters in recent years here because the arctic has had record warm winters in those years.
I'm no meteorologist but it does make some crazy kind of sense. I'm just thankful that I don't have be plowed out so often. Being snowed in is no fun.

(16,199 posts)The Nor'easters produce anywhere from a dusting (far off coast) to 3 feet of snow if cold, or rain and wind if temps are warmer. Sometimes you get powder and it just snow blows away, but 2013 had a storm that the weather channel called Nemo, that gave us a mix of snow, sleet, and rain that piled 30 inches high. It took me two days to dig out.

Of course, you are not Korean, but we white guys have no way of knowing that (lol)
Plus, with the CGSC here there are officers here from all over the world.
