Current weather in western europe

Post by Candy »

Well... snowy. We've got about a foot of snow here (around 25-30 cm) where I haven't ever even seen that much before. I'll post some pictures online when I have the time, but up to then it'll take a while. My internet was offline for the past day.

The dutch friday morning rush hour traffic jam was so big and unsolvable that it merged with the evening rush hour. The evening rush hour was solved at 5:30 am the following day.

[edit] it's snowing in spain too, so it's not just north-west europe... [/edit]

Right now where I am, it's around 68 degrees F, (for you C people, that's 20 exactly).

Haven't had snow here in....2 years? Plus, you can hardly call what we got 'snow'. It was mostly a 1/2" layer of snow on top of a 2" layer of ice all over everything ;D.

Which is a shame as snow is cool ;)

It's storm season for us here in Queensland Australia, in fact I was just hit by a massive storm front just a second ago, there was hail and everything!

We've had the weirdest turnover of quite some time.

Thursday afternoon, evening and night (up to 1AM) there was a slight drizzle, no ice, no real cold, nothing really weird, no big winds etc.

Friday morning 7AM, my car was covered in 4-5cm of snow (about 2 inches of snow). I had to drive very carefully since nobody expected it and even the motorways (highways) weren't salted. That afternoon I was at my day job (graduation thing) about 100km from here, and it was bright, sunny and there were no winds. On the way back, we drove about 4 hours (as opposed to 1.5 hours) since the last bit was pure traffic jam and there was an average of 20cm of snow. It hasn't stopped snowing and now it's sunday.

So, nobody expected it and within 18 hours the country changed from drizzly 5 degrees weather to a snowstorm.
