I dono why but I thought I would just say this outa no where.

It snowed here today. (Here as in Saskatchewan, Canada) Now I have yet to look forward to a little more then 6 mounths of cold winter.

It really sucks cause I just got a new skateboard today. Now I can't use it.

Hows the weather where you are?

Getting colder in New England. They were calling for rain around noon moving north, it got cloudy but it never arrived... sort of like yesterday, where it was going to rain after midnight but came down in torrents in the afternoon . I suggest anyone with a basic knowledge of weather systems take up a job as a meteorologist around here-- your stiffest competition will be the old farmer's almanac.

Riiiiiiiiight...

Well, here it's still above freezing, though maybe not for long. Generally around Halloween we'll get the first freezing temps.

I'm living in the eastern US. I haven't seen any snow yet, but it is getting colder out. It's also getting colder inside, too.

i'm in southern pennsylvania, and while it hasn't got down to freezing, it's been damn close. today we had rain and hail, so it's obviously cold enough somewhere in the atmosphere for the water to freeze. i don't think it even got up to 50 today.

Here on the west coast the weather changes faster than a 98 year old's diapers. Last week it was cold, about 5 degrees celsius. This week it's up again at around 15 celsius.

Well, the weather here at the moment... Its 4 in the afternoon, there are no clouds in the sky. There is a nice cool sea breeze. Its quite nice weather really. In fact I've just come back from riding my bike

I've never actually seen snow in real life.

If you don't take precautions you would die at 50 degrees C...because the cells that carry out important reactions in your body prefer to be at 40 degrees (body temp) so the body puts it at 37 for safety. This is because the cells "denature" above 40, stopping you from being able to live...

In England it's...... grey. Although when I go on holiday to Finland in Feburary I'm looking forward to some sub -30c temperatures.

I keep getting exempted from science exams. Biology is fun, especially the videos . We only have 1 science class for everyone in our school.

Bah, beat 3500.

We watched this video in Biology, it was really, but then it started talking about lemmings and everybody sat up, and started laughing. I saw hundreds of lemming lying dead in the water, drowned. It was great.
