The rain that's been falling for a few hours this AM here in Texas is now turning to snow as the temps drop. The early morning forecast was for 1-3", but that was based on the cold front arriving later in the day.
I may have some new snow photos (and a day off from work
) tomorrow...

Winter is coming.
Weather effects in Finland and rest of the World:
+15c, Spanish wear caps, gloves and winter coats, Finns are sunbathing.
+10c, French desperately try to get their central heating on. Finns plant flowers.
... +5c Italian cars won't start. Finns drive with convertibles.
0c, Pure water freezes. Water in river Vantaa thickens a bit.
-5c, First people are found frozen in California. Finnish midsummer festival ends.
-10c, Scottish turn the heat on in their houses. Finns start to use long-sleeve shirts.
-20c, Swedes stay indoors. Finns are having last barbeque before winter.
-30c, Half of the Greek people have frozen to death. Finns start to dry their laundry indoors.
-50c, Polar bears evacuate North Pole. Finnish army starts it's winter training.
-70c, Siberian people are moving to Moscow. Finns are furious since the Koskenkorva booze can't be stored outdoors anymore.
-273c, Absolute Zero. Finns admit that it is quite cold outside.
-300c, Hell freezes over. Finland wins the football World Cup

Yep - it's brutal!
if the wind hadn't blown it away, I could have scraped together one small snowball for the bottom third of a very mini snowman...

Funny thing is that it has startes to snow in Oslo today. Not much though, only 4" the last hour or so. It is however very noticeable in the traffic, in the left lain people are taking it slow and follows the speed limit. In the right lain we have the Audi Quattros sliding and drifting past the slow traffic, a classic winter sign.

We've not got smow in the West Midlands, just some decent frost, which has covered the cars over by about 9pm. Not fun to drive to work in a Cal Looker with no heating...

It's been two years since we last had snow in my part of the UK. We didn't get much last week, maybe three inches. I spent the weekend turning my drive into a luge run (it's pretty steep) for the kids. But I forgot I had to use the Volks out today. Man - I *hate* driving when there's salt everywhere. I'm sure I could hear my heater channels screaming
So here's my drive (not much room for error. I could not walk up the slope it was so slippery):

And the Volks at the top:

And here's a sight you won't see often (and the reason I managed to get up that drive!):

Hopefully the snow melts quickly so I can get it back in the garage!
