You don't know what cold is. The record low for the entire UK is -27.2°C; that's over the last 200+ years. We see that on a weekly basis throughout the entire winter.
We'd be happy to take some of that cold off your hands if it came bearing water!
Is snow acceptable? Ice?
Honestly though. US always has this crisis when the temperature somewhere goes below zero degrees celsius, or when there's a thin film of ice on top of one pond. Suddenly, everyone forgets how to drive, all schools shut down, and all claims of global warming are debunked.
I get that the areas that rarely get that cold aren't prepared, there is no equipment to clear the snow if there's a lot of it and cars don't have proper wheels for winter, but still. It always makes me roll my eyes a bit. Go out and make a snowman or something.

There Fixed that for you.
Though this winter it appears that we are getting are usual of bucket loads of rain. I still won't be surprised if we have a hose pipe ban at some point in the Summer.

Yeah, we've gotta get a solid foot of snow on the ground before they'll be talking about that. Mind you, that would have to be over a 24 hour period or something. We've got much more than a foot already.
That's okay though. I love the snow. We don't even get enough in this area to make good use of our snowshoes though, so I'd actually be good with even more. The wife and I took Oliver out almost-camping at a nearby provincial park a couple weeks ago. We didn't spend the night, but stayed long enough for a several hour hike on the lake (Oliver rode in a sled most of the way) and a campfire to cook our dinner and some mostly warm smores. The stars outside the city are so amazing.
Speaking of which, I actually just ordered a telescope online! Looking forward to checking out Jupiter or something. I'll have to look up when and where cool stuff is going on so I can make use of this thing.
Basically, the idea is that clan members make posts based on a given category. I haven't figured out how to score yet. I was thinking people gets points if the post was thanked by a member of another clan.

So Crafters. It's been a long time, and I miss you people. I don't even know where to start with how the last long while has been, but I thought I'd come say hello.

Currently Getting Back into the swing of MTGS. Bear with me folks~
Weather: It's quite cold here. Not too much snow, just cold (though not quite as cold as where Stardust is).
My quiz - seems to be harder than the previous one. The average is 30-34.
Hey there, Laser =) Been too long. So, you guys know what I missed? Custom commander edh games. I have made like 15 commanders in the last 20 minutes now. Ugh

Hm... It's been a while since I've made any custom cards, actually. 15 new cards in 20 minutes? Wow.
So I heard today would be the coldest day of this week, but that doesn't say very much. I wish I could say "the cold never bothered me anyways", but that would be a lie.
@Moss: We're setting up official all-encompassing rules for clan contests this year that will involve three categories of the game host's decision and each of those categories will be given a 1-5 star rating by each reviewing clan, giving participating clans a 3-15 point spread + 1 point for participating, or +2 points if that clan wins. That way, the contests should be tighter throughout the year and more inclusive.
Cold enough that they cancelled class. Hopefully they won't cancel tomorrow though; I need to get in hours at work.

Nah. I just think it's funny that I go to work every day in -35 and you guys are complaining that they don't shut down the city when it gets to -20.

One day last week, it was 79° here, which was a record and made it one of the hottest places in the entire US.
Other things!
We need ideas for a new clan contest!
Throw out some ideas people and I'll represent yo! Yo dawg!
As in?
Give me some examples.
@Moss: There's interest in your improv idea, which I've hereto forth dubbed as "Whose Clan is it Anyway?" Can you help flesh that idea out for us?
As I said earlier: Scenes from a hat... sort of.
I was also thinking #HashtagWars

Also, going back up a few posts: Stardust got a telescope? Wow. That should definitely provide a good view of things.
