If I had snow in my garden, I would just leave it there and enjoy the view, not because I'm lazy, but because I haven't seen snow in close up in over 30 years.
Feel lucky we had freezing rain.We received about 40cm of over about 8 hours on Monday. I'd happily enough share some with you if I could![]()
Freezing rain really is the worst, sorry you got hit. Be careful if you have to be out and about!Feel lucky we had freezing rain.
In 1997I remember we had an ice storm for 3 days and under 0 degrees for 16 days.
Walked out the front door an heard large trees crashing to the ground across the small 2 lane road behind my property.
Yeah the freezing rain is the worst. We were lucky that we only got a small amount if it a few days ago before it turned to snow. And just to clarify, I assume you mean 0 degrees Fahrenheit? That is -18 degrees on the Celcius scale, which is what I assume Tad is referring to.
I wondered if @tracii 4591 said "under 0 degrees", because of @Tad 's previous use of "temperatures staying well below zero..." As Canada, at least officially, uses metric, I took @Tad to mean "well below 0°C", which would be "well below 32°F". As this is a common source of misunderstanding, I always give temperatures with a following "C" of "F" to show which temperature scale I'm using. I do the same with measurements.
Dates can be problematic too. In my country today is "06/02/2022" but in America it's "02/06/2022" and other countries use other formats. Indicating the month with letters makes dates universally understandable. "06/FEB/2022" and "FEB/06/2022" are understandable in both New Zealand and America.
As a person who has lived all over the planet and I also mix chemicals for photography I sometime have to slow down and recalculate because I live in the backwards U.S.A.You know, I realize now that you are right. There is no way it was "under 0 degrees Fahrenheit for 16 days" in Kentucky (ok maybe, but I don't think in 1998), if that means 0 Fahrenheit. I'll tell you, as one who grew up on the Celcius scale in Canada and moved to the USA in my late 20s, it took me probably 10 years to be able to perceive the temp directly by Fahrenheit numbers and not have to internally convert to Celcius.

Yah, I was talking degrees Celcius. I sometimes forget that there is still so many people who don't use it.
At least the metric system doesn't allow for that error![]()
How can we weigh The Rolling Stones?Even in countries, which have converted to metric, many people educated prior to conversion still use Imperial units for at least some purposes. Many people in the UK and New Zealand still give their measurements in inches.
The stone remains widely used in the UK and Ireland but only for human body weight. As there are 14 pounds in one stone, it makes arithmetic difficult.
Metric all the way!! Especially in the digital age, all those medieval measurements - think of stone in the UK! - make no sense whatsoever!
Heal quickly Brother.Would have been nice to have a Tad near me. We got over 8 inches but I can't be shoveling snow anytime soon. Having a stent put in on the 23rd. I AM NOT about to have a heart attack shoveling snow. No sir. No way. That crap can stay there until spring has sprung.
Luckily, Big Betty has AWD!

Please take care of yourself Kat and no movement of snow.
