Winter 2013-2014

[Sinoco]

For the whole month of December we got ~5cm/week on average, with two 20-30cm snow storms so far. We also got an ice storm with about 30mm of ice accumulation that shut down power for over 1 million people for various amounts of time, with many having power out for more than a week. My city was declared a disaster area to get funding to help with the cleanup. We also had -40 degree temperatures last week. One guy at work had frostbite so bad he had to take two days off and when he got back he still couldn't feel his fingers.

So yeah, a good winter all around. I've honestly been surprised with how little of a winter most of Europe seems to have gotten. Growing up, I always thought that our winters were pathetic compared to what Europe would get. Guess not.
