Snow and Christmas

[cultnirvana]

The snow is back with vengeance! We had a good downpour of it from late November up until about maybe a week and a half ago, but lately it's been reasonably mild (i.e. 4 degrees Celsius (39F) with a wind chill factor bringing it lower than that, which isn't exactly mild!), but the past day or so just before the new cold front moved in, the chill

It's crazy how much snow there is already and it is still going, aaahh!! I'm really worried our Tesco order isn't going to be delivered on Tuesday too. I hope both our orders get here.. Last thing I want to do before christmas is to go grocery shopping. D:

Woke up this morning to find this on the wall across the street, lol - http://www.flickr.com/photos/lauracet/5268599238/

Oh, lordi :D I'm guessing that's been done by kids from the Markets :D

Do not want to have to deal with Tesco's in the city centre just before Christmas >_< It will be a nightmare! If it happens, fingers crossed they still have decent turkeys!

Jeez turkey! I couldn't imagine having to hunt for one so close to christmas - makes me thankful I was raised a veggie!

Feel free to send some of that snow our way, we've had nothing all year and it's starting to make me nervous. oO;;

I think we've maybe stolen your weather! It's normally about 5 - 8C (40-46F) here during the winter, with maybe a peak or two below that in January, but since late November it has mostly been a steady -3C during the day and -10C at night. Though last night we hit a record -18C in one part of the country! I've never heard of such here. It's apparently Northern Ireland's worst weather in 25 years.

At the minute in Belfast city centre (where I live) it's -9C at 9.30 in the morning! That's unheard of, being a city next to the sea. And we've had a few inches of constant snow for days, while snow rarely normally lasts a day or two in the city. My parents, who live near a town in a more rural area, have over a foot!

We're not used to it, so we're completely not prepared. I have a friend originally from Canada lamenting about the difficultly of getting snow tires here.

So, yeah, if you want it back, you can have it :D Though wouldn't mind a little snow on Christmas Day :)
