Snow- WTF?!?!?

Dec 15, 2008 15:31

Growing up in a fairly warm place snow has always been a treat. Something to get excited over, run outside and play in, and enjoy. Then it melts. The next day.

Last winter in Seattle (my first one!) the snow was like that. Granted, it happened with more frequency than it ever did in Texas (it snowed 3 times I think, as opposed to once in a blue moon), but it still melted the next day.

I was just telling my family the other day how mild a winter we were having too. Last year it was below freezing in November and it snowed December 1st. Up until Saturday it hadn't even hit freezing yet. Apparently I should have shut my mouth.

It's freezing today. It was freezing yesterday. It froze the day before that, and snowed. The snow didn't melt. Why didn't the snow melt? Apparently it will be freezing tomorrow. And the day after that. And the day after that. It's supposed to snow again on Wednesday and the weather could remain the same until after Christmas. It's the coldest sustained weather it's been in Seattle since 1990. I really hope this doesn't affect my flight out on Friday.
