I read an article with a headline like that, but the body of the article seemed to indicate we’d probably just get a little snow and then rain would wash it away. It did leave open the possibility that the cold front would pass farther south causing more snow.

Our weather guessers  are saying somewhere between 0" and 100" of snow by Sunday.

I hope it’s not going to snow/hail/whatever in the east of the country tomorrow... I have a meeting in Enschede, and I’m not really looking forward to having to cross the whole country through the snow

yeah, but I can deal with it! looks like it should be decent next week though.

i think we’ve had only 1 storm, maybe 4" so far.  Thats far below normal for here.  by now we’ve usually had a few storms totaling a few feet.

ooh some actual winter weather! What’s this stuff caled? Snail, Shail ? : P When I visited my mom about a year ago it was in the 40's and low 50's in December. Oh and that’d be like 8-10 C, haha.

This year I’m planning on visiting in late-March.

tbh.. this is about normal for here... our cold season is usually short and late... (sometimes it doesnt turn up till about april)

and not seeing more than a dusting of snow in a year is pretty much normal

Yeah, I’ve been amazed compared to Michigan where I live now, the Netherlands is a lot more mild and seems to have gotten warmer and warmer in recent years.

Either way, the best part is getting to see friends and family, but good weather would be a nice bonus!

Typically it graupel’s when it’s warmer and it wants to snow.

I believe that is called sleet. A mix of rain and snow.

I pulled off the greatest maneuver I didn’t intend to do on black ice.

i did a full 360 on a bicycle and didnt crash

just neatly looped round across the street with one foot down and carried on

it was damn near gracefull... but it wasnt intentional

i think you’ll be ok... stuffs freezing up tho.. so might be slippery in places

Freezing rain falls to the ground as liquid rain but freezes upon contact with the ground. Sleet starts out as liquid raindrops, but they freeze into tiny balls of ice before they hit the ground.
