Memo to U.S.: It's called snow ;D
Montreal winter is sweeping the planet.
There have been paralyzing blizzards in New York, Boston, London and Paris. There have been freak snow storms in Tennessee, Alabama and Georgia.
Scientists in Atlanta are now studying snow for the first time trying to determine what it is, where it comes from and whether it has any possible use. :rofl:
:snowman: article link :snowman:
Snow has struck 49 states, including Texas and Hawaii. Over 70 per cent of the U.S. land surface is reportedly under snow -though it might as well be under water the way they handle it. A Montreal friend drove through North Carolina on Thursday where a dusting of snow had every restaurant in town sealed shut.
New York City was so freaked out by its Christmas storm the mayor just declared a "state of emergency" over an eight-inch snowfall. New York doesn't even have snowplows, just garbage trucks with plows that get stuck in the snow instead of removing it. That means they can't collect garbage either, so many families were stranded indoors for five days at Christmas -with their garbage.
Europe was also overwhelmed by a few centimetres of snow during Christmas, its major airports shut for days. Where will winter strike next -Mexico? Panama? Will there be tropical snowstorms on the equator, or in the Sahara desert?
