ITS SNOWING>>>HARD>>>>AGAIN!!!
WingZero8788:
The cold normally doesn't bother me, but it's a bit unusual to have two big snow storms only two to three weeks apart that made it hard to get around.

As for the salt freezing - if the temperature goes down enough, even water with salt will freeze, IIRC below -5 or -7 is enough.
--- Quote ---Global Warming/Climate change will actually cause snow storms. Because of the increased energy in the atmosphere, it can cause it to snow in the Sahara and have a heat wave in Alaska. That is how climate change and global warming work. It causes extreme weather and climate shifts initially. It doesn't just get 'hotter'.
Climate change is indeed happening, but whether it's caused by humans or not, remains to be seen.

Just a footnote; lots of snow and temperatures way below zero are normal in my part of the world. The previous couple of years with warm winters were, technically speaking, not normal.
Winters like this year were absolutely normal and noone made a fuss about it and called it a crisis.
In the winter of 1978/79 we had what is now called "the winter of the century". It was -30C during the day and there was so much snow that tunnels dug in the snow for trains, buses etc. were higher than said trains ;)

well now it makes sens that salt only made the ice problem worst :D It was -20 or so most of the time, now its getting warmer, its mostly something like -10 C and they promise that it will be -5 - 0 C.
Its not like we complain that it was so cold, hitting -30 from time to time during day and night more often, but darn its unpleasant anyhow. The thing we complain about is, that summer gets colder. Its like 1-2 weeks of really hot weather sometimes hitting +30 during the day and sometimes closing to that number during the the night, but then its so damp that its impossible to breath, that darn feeling that the storm is coming, but it never comes to relief the darn heat. And after that its cold. I really miss warm summer nights :(

Cold weather doesn't really bother me, but it sure as heck makes it harder to get up in the morning.

Its around 1 meter snow around here. Only minus 5-10c right now. Earlier in winter it were -30c.
Ive found a new sound i really hate at 05:00 or later in the morning.
I found this the other day. Made me laugh.

Agreed. I've heard them going outside my window at 00:00-03:00 recently... and though I am not a violent person, I have been ready to flip out if they didn't stop. *Laughs* It freaks the dog out too!
