The Weather Thread, It's spring! Options

How's the weather right now where you live?

Here in Finland it SUCKS! It snowed again this morning, and now it is melting a bit. But we still have lots of it, I like snow, but this kind of snow is not nice. There's water under it, and it gathers in the streets like porridge, making my feet and pants soaking wet :(

Ahaha Danny! That sounds like what we call "Florida Ice"

It's when it's only a drizzley little rain coming down on the highway, but the roads are built up very much with oil and gas emissions from everybody's cars during the dry time. So the rain wets the top of the oil slick and everyone starts sliding around like their tires are driving on ice.

Very dangerous! Especially with so many out-of-staters not knowing about it.... and everybody from all the different states and countries all drive in their own peculiar "driving cheats" styles. It's crazy sometimes just going to the store!

Couldn't happen to me. When I go to the store, I usually walk.

Anyway, just had a nice first of may, complete with party and minigolfing and drinking a cafe au lait in the sun, and eating icecream! It was rather chilly when the sun vanished behind clouds, which happened regularily - but it was still nice. Much better than the last couple days.
