I don't get it. Am I missing something? It is summer in New Zealand at the moment so they probably do have sun and blue skies...

New York's weather is so random. It's pretty much December and one night it can be 65 and the next 35. It's a joke.

It could have been a reply to my posting that's above it.
But on a second glance... Probably not.

Well I'm 26 now and I've never encountered snow in November.
Global Warming? Seems more like the Netherlands are cooling down really fast.
We had a lot of snow last year as well

I just moved here from Houston so I hardly encountered any snow there. I'm just a little anxious to finally be able to build a balling (no pun intended) snowman.

The Americans are often made fun of in Europe because some of them think that Paris is a country or that the Netherlands are a city in Germany.
But it's not like we now what country is in what state.
I had to look up Houston and apparently it's in Texas.

As far as I've seen on TV, new york can be very snowy.
I think the weather there is a bit like here in the Netherlands, only a tad more extreme

We've had tiny amounts of snow for the past few Novembers here in Toronto. Not anything crazy though. It's the kind that's on the ground in the morning and gone by the afternoon. I can't wait for an actual snowstorm!

that would be brilliant.
It's remarkable how many people want it to snow here.
On my own Dutch forum, there's about two people, other than me, who like snow.
The others just moan about the cold and the discomfort

I actually like snow. It's nice and peaceful when it's falling, and the way it falls on different objects like houses, cars, and especially trees is quite beautiful. And it's always quiet outside when it's snowing. I guess the snow sort of muffles sound. I don't mind driving in it, just have to be careful, and I don't mind shovelling it either.

It's inconvenient.

Me too. Snow allows amateurs like me to take unusual photos. For instance, you don't see a snowy Egyptian temple every day:

(Yes, I wrote "an Egyptian temple"

)

Honestly, that's the only "collateral effect" I appreciate. The rest are nothing but wishful thoughts and strange dreams...
