The Official Snow Thread 2012/13

My local weatherman says we are supposed to have a snowy winter, but so far we've had nothing but above average temperatures.

What's this... "snow" you speak of?

 

[maxtortheone]

It snowed some more last night. Thank FSM I've got two pairs of waterproof boots.

Drive up a mountain road.

RWD FTW.

 

[maxtortheone]

Can't refuse a lady. Even though they're done with my phone.

This is the lake where my father fishes, feeds the stray dogs and where we got our current dog and the one before him.

And these are from the front and back of the apartment building

Why is there a giant buttock in the courtyard?

 

[maxtortheone]

Tennis courts covered in what basically is a giant heated buttock.

Just came home a while ago and remembered this thread.

We got snow as well.

Went sledding on Saturday. The snow was a bit too deep, otherwise it would have been a lot better, and faster!
We were the first ones there so we had to make the track ourselves.

 

[frankiess]

Silly people. You need a wider track to stay on top of powder snow.

 

[47]

Yeah, tha plan was to turn the powder into hard surface, then it flies. We made the track a few feet per ride.
It was probably better the day after, but we can't really make it over the week.

*nevermind, repost*

We are "supposed" to get some now early next week. If so I will have some pics. If not I'll just go up higher in the mountains and take some pics!

[Interrobang]

I like where this is going:

lol, are the danish online weather-services also better then the german ones where you are? Because here the Dutch services are also better then the german ones (Buienradar ftw).

 

[narf]

"Better" in terms of accuracy is hard to tell. However, I prefer them for their transparency. Other weather sources are afraid to be wrong, so they muddle about to avoid crass changes in their predictions. The Danish give you as much detail as they have, with the caveat that they may be entirely wrong.

I especially love their nautical weather at http://ocean.dmi.dk/anim/index.php - for instance, select Vandstand / havniveau, Nords?en and press i l?kke to watch the North Sea flobber about.
Another thing I love is their winter weather at http://vintertrafik.dk - it's a bit boring right now, but when the white stuff is going down you can actually see where the plows are and how long it has been since they have cleared a section of road.
