Yeah, I know you northern countries are used to it, but we have a lovely thing called the Gulf Stream, which means we don't usually get any snow.

Didn't take me much longer than usual to get to work though and at least it was a pretty drive.

Not heard that expression before. Lying and Settling in use here in Scotland. Looks like it might actually be settling here now as well. it's got dark and still snowing.

It's been very snowy so far this winter here in the northeast. It was fun for a while but I am already ready for the Spring!

Same thing here in the midwest. The past couple of days have been at least bearable, no snow, around 35 degrees, sunny, it almost feels spring-like. A welcome change, to say the least.

Yeah, maybe in the summer. I had some trouble adjusting to the heat after moving there from Ukraine but having lived there for the past 14 years I can't imagine a better place.

Some days you're the dog, and some days you're the fire hydrant.

Well if that had happened in the UK, London would probably have asploded or something. It's shocking how badly prepared for a little inclement weather we are!
