Awesome. I miss snow like that.

parkyy2k · 23-11-2007, 17:51

We never get snow like that...

Larixk · 23-11-2007, 17:55

neither do we.

And it's been ages since we've had an Elfstedentocht.

Again? Regular jogger?

Fuck me, it snowed here this evening! 4 inches on the ground!

Won't last long, though. It was 80 degrees a week ago. The weather here sucks.

Going to Philly, eh, roto? Stay in Center City lest you get shot!

We've had snow every day since last Monday. The local ski resorts have about a 60cm base, and 100cm at the top, and have all opened.

We'll be digging our way out of the house now until about next March/April.

It's a big thing around here. It's an ice skating marathon on natural ice through all the eleven cities of one province (Friesland). It requires all of the canals, lakes and streams on the route to have a layer of ice at least 15cm thick. There's a whole institution to check the thickness of the ice. And if it's alowed all the hotels in Friesland are booked full within hours.

But besides a folkloristic sporting event it is the way we measure our winters around here, because it obviously requires some cold. 'If we don't have an Elfstedentocht it's not been a real winter' seems to be public opinion. Although the fact is we've only had 15 in the 20th century.

Yup, I'm quite familiar with the city. I know where to run...and where to hide.

I was about to make a joke along the lines of "if you suck it long enough you´ll get to the tasty inside, its just like lollipop, I promise!" but naaaah. I already wish it was sommer again, the cold and shite is getting tiresome already.
