I'm expecting a blizzard tonight in my neck of the woods.
*waits for someone to say that where they are there's been a metre of snow on the ground for the past three months* Edit: Lunatic Goofballs is close enough...

No, but I wish I had a yard of snow. I'm not quite sure what a "metre" is.

Then what're you doing inside? Get the hell out there with your mates and have a ruck!
Unless it's only just started and you need to give it a while to build up.

It's a unit of length used in Britain - equivalent to one two-hundredth of the queue-for-an-NHS-dentist.

It started while I was asleep, but I'm giving it a couple more hours to build up. Then I'm going to break out the ultimate American invention for playing in the snow: the four-wheeler.
I don't know what's the weather's like. I have (seriously) a huge wall of snow outside the window. And I can't even open the windows in my room, they're below the snowsurface *grumbles* I hate snow... Pretty stupid living on a freggin' mountain up here I guess...

Otherwise defined as an arbitrary fraction of the distance between the Pole and the Equator, chosen by a short Corsican with a penchant for invading Tsarist Russia. Perfectly logical:p
EDIT: It had better hurry up and snow properly here. I'm supposed to be heading up to Fort William next weekend, and if the snow is useless, I'm not gonna be happy.

Well, actually it's defined as the length of the path travelled by light in absolute vacuum during a time interval of 1/299,792,458 of a second. Whereas the yard was defined as the length of a standard yardstick (unfortunately there were several competing standards), and now as exactly 0.9144 metres.

To LG: sorry if I cannot understand the many complex and deeply thought out facets of British humor, in the U.S. (or my state anyway), we seem to prefer redneck jokes.
Safalra, here's my definition for the meter: just slightly longer than a yard to the point where it causes extreme confusion for just about everyone I know.

LOL. That's the best definition I've read, yet.
Personally, I like to refer to metric measurements as those that are used by mechanics and machinists that can't hold a tolerance to a standard size. If you goof on the part and over/under size it, well, you were just using metric.
*grumbless* I want snow, never seen anything more than something like 20 cm of it (at any given time)... Its not raining now, but it was yesterday... *sigh* *stupid dutch weather*

It never snows here. The weather is guaranteed to be at least 5 degrees above freezing until the very second every bit of moisture is removed from the relevant area.

Maybe some of these people with their walls and metres of snow would appreciate tropical humor more. :eek:
*EDIT* It just started snowing here too, and when my kid wakes up from her nap, we'll be going outside to enjoy the nice fluffy white stuff. We've had a winter remarkably devoid of it hitherto, except for the inch or so I used to make my snow sharks and snowsnake chasing a snowman.

It's nearly 90 fahrenheit outside my house. and i do live in the northern hemisphere
Very cold here. It is about -43 celsius at the moment. It has not snowed for a while, so it's more icy than snowy. But there is a light snow coming down at the moment. It's in Moscow, by the way.

It's snowing where I live as well, despite the weather not being rightly cold enough to logically accomodate such snow. I call bullshit. And if I walk out of work at 11 tonight and my car is covered in snow and/or ice, even in the lightest sheet, there will be hell to pay.
That's right, Nature. I'm coming after you.

You and my sister both. Teach you Philadelphians to move to Georgia. I never want to live that far south.

It's still snowing here in the mountains at Virginia Tech. Probably got a good five or six inches already. The weather reports say that we'll get a a few more before it tapers off tonight.

This will be the first major snow in a while. So I suspect you may be right. :)

When my two-year old got up from her nap, I told her to look outside and she started yelling "nose! NOSE!! Outside. Baby go outside!" (She can't really say snow, so she says nose instead, and she calls herself and anyone non-adult baby.) So we went outside, and she was so excited about the "nose" she kept yelling "nose! see, nose!" to everyone she saw. Heh.
We're supposed to get 8-14 inches, latest estimate. Yay.

Well, normally here there should be. We haven't had 3 feet total all winter, and there is currently none on the ground. that'll change tomorrow. They're expecting somwhere between 3 and 12 inches (7.6 to 30 cm).
