Ah, OK. What we call Alberta Clippers are pretty much the opposite: their bitter cold winds coming out of Canada across Lake Ontario where they encounter the warm moist air rising from the lake which then magically makes tons of the white stuff that gets dumped on the southern and eastern sides of the lake.
For some reason this year we are way behind the average snowfall, like over a meter behind (and no, I don't want any of yours!
).D
Understandable. But Birdjaguar lives in a very warm climate, so I just thought I'd offer.no, I don't want any of yours!
NM is not Phoenix. We have four seasons and in winter it can go down to zero at night (mid teens is more likely though). Global warming and a ten year drought have made moisture scarce. We are not Canada cold, but winter is real here even if only a few months long. Albuquerque sits at a mile high and that also chills things. In summer we are mostly in the 90s during the day and 60s at night. Big swings. Lack of water is an issue, but a high desert climate is still a desert and little rain is expected. Thank you for the offer.Understandable. But Birdjaguar lives in a very warm climate, so I just thought I'd offer.
I sit corrected.
We're getting a couple days of the kind of cold here that normally does not happen here. Temps in the single and teen digits with high wind chills. After a winter that so far has been just marginally above average, it's hard to take.

Known as "lake-effect snow" in the U.S.
[I picked that piece of info up from who-knows-where. --I've only seen snow once in my adult life.

Here in the Phils, it's been alternatively sunny & rainy for a few hours everyday since forever.

It's about -2 C (+28 F) here, with a couple inches of snow on the ground and more on the way overnight. Lovely winter weather, as someone who doesn't have to drive in it. I'll put on my boots and take a stroll around the neighborhood in the morning.
I took out the trash this afternoon without a coat, just a short-sleeved T-shirt, jeans, and tennis shoes, when it was slightly colder than it is now, roughly -5C (+23 F). A couple months ago that would have been bitterly cold, but I'm used to the winter now. -12C/+9F still sounds bitterly cold for that to me, though!

-15 C this morning. Noon temperature should be -7. No winds so it's alright to get outside for a couple of hours.

Expecting a "Nor'easter" here today, 9"-12"/23-30cm of snow with 50mph winds.
The only downside is that I was hoping to do some grocery shopping on the way home, but I imagine people will be mobbing the stores like it's friggin' Doomsday. Poor planning, on my part.

Darn tootin'. We only have an inch on the ground right now - two significant storms earlier this winter were followed by rainstorms that melted everything down. I'm in New England, I want New England weather. And speaking of which, that NorEaster is coming, yes. Foot-plus (30cm+, thanks Egon) expected here. Woot!

Ok, who wants snow? Cause I’m getting hit with a winter storm right now.
FTFY.
I've got enough wine, frozen meat and toilet paper to last me through being snowed in for several days... the rest is just details.
I'm off now to pick up my kids from school that should have been canceled in the first place but was shortened to a "half-day" instead which is code for the teachers wanted to get credit for the full day.
