Good for the Carlisle supporters for volunteering to clear the snow. In Canada, not many play soccer football in the winter. Most people switch to hockey or curling.
Oh, I see you do too.

Carlisle United have shown themselves to think of themselves as a community club when the team helped people who had their houses flooded during Storm Desmond.
The fans local community have repeatedly shown up to help the club in return
Back to the current weather, only 10 of the Football Leagues (the professional leagues below the Premier League) planned games for today survived, including Carlisle’s win over Grimsby Town. Coventry City’s game didn’t survive the night leaving only two games played in League 2, but all of the Premier Leagues games were played.

I’ve been Canadian too long. It just looks depressingly normal to me.

C’mon Greater Chicagoland. I thought we had agreed it was “Spring” What’s with the two inches of white stuff on my truck?

Nope. It’s been intermittently snowing all day today here in the Detroit area. No accumuation, and it’s pretty to watch… but still, it’s mid-April. Just another crazy Michigan Spring thing, I guess.

We don’t have adequate words in English to describe the mix of winter-ish bullshit that dropped out of the sky on Tuesday morning.
Today could be the first day in two weeks that I haven’t seen a snowflake. This is not normal for Detroit.

They just call it “rain/snow/sleet” here. And yup, twice this week already.

The Leafs are making a playoff run, so it may be weather blowing in from the infernal plains.

We call it “winter mix,” which I suppose covers frogs, volcanic ash, and oobleck.

Well, fair point as it’s not been normal for The Leafs to make the playoffs for many years now, but until Toronto stole our coach, it was normal for Detroit to get a second season.

It was more crap than that, though. It was like 3 seasons barfing all over the land.

I saw it somewhere today…
As bad as 2017 was, at least it had Spring

I’m sure I speak for many of us here when I say we are happy for you, and wish you all sorts of weather in the future.

Temperature in the thirties, with humidity near 100%? @Cynical, I speak only for myself, but you can keep it. In fact, please do keep it: far, far away from me.

We dream of swamp ass six months of the year. Anyone who can afford it flies south in January in search of swamp ass.

And once it success at home we talk about how great it’ll be when it’s sweater weather again.
(At least I do. I’m totally with @nimelennar on this one. There’s a reason I live as close to the lake as I can afford.)

Tried it (well, March, but same deal). One of the most miserable weeks in my existence. Drank water like a fish, and still I had the headaches, nausea, fatigue, and other general unpleasantness that comes from overheating and dehydration. My only respites were the times I actually spent submerged in water, and those times were too few and too far between.
You can fly South if you wish; I spend my winters on the ski hill (the cold never bothered me anyway).
