Tim
or perhaps this? tongue.gif

grazzenger
now that looks like the result of some dingly snowfall tim!
Yeti
Is the word dingly derived from dingleberry ? Because they aren't very good at falling and they don't seem to have much to do with snow either.
carpediem
yes, that picture is quite accurate for endresults... although, on that picture I´d say the snow is already ca 5-10 hours old...
grazzenger
yeti, i always thought it was a dangleberry?! anyway, i far prefer the word 'clagnut'.
carpediem
picture 2 - very accurate!
@yeti: sorry, have no idea what dingleberries are!
christine_4none
I am at Ostbhf. and its snowing so bad!!
canuck
Just got back from a 40min jog around town. Saw a few bonified, genuine snowflakes falling and a bit of light drizzle but nothing hardcore.
carpediem
snowing isn´t bad, C4n...

@grazzenger

That might be just your scottish pronunciation.

@mattiehh: Yeah, sure they clear the bike paths of snow...but they then become paths of pure ice usually. You could skate to work?? OK. My guess for snow is next Thursday. The sooner the better!!!

Pay up people. smile.gif
Yeti
Sorry about the spelling laddie but I've got the old amnesia-lite.
carpediem
Looking at the weather forecast, snowflakes falling in a dingly fashion should be viewable on the 26th of november, so I´d be happy to give you a personal guiding!

Well I just bought a pair of Nordic Skis at a Lagerverkauf 119 Euros boots and skis.

I am ready! tongue.gif
Jeeves
What for? To get to the loo at the bottom of the garden? wink.gif
grazzenger
mmmm, sleet, sleet, sleet in freising. mind you, if it drops a few degrees, we'll have my layer of snow in the morning!
Genie
Perfectly beautiful flakes of snow coming down in Sendling at the moment. Welcome the winter !!
DDBug
Yup - it is snowing in Schwabing, too. *gag*
Those roads are going to be really slick in the morning, so drive carefully, kids.
Hazza
I hadn't seen outside since 6pm. Been in a cellar working. So I thought I'd have a look.

Just cold and wet. No snow at all in Maxvorstadt at the moment.

When it's this cold, I prefer it to snow...
electrobuzz
A fine layer of snow in Großhadern at this moment.. :-)

'Buzz
Lupo
I think the matter´s settled! Point me to the slopes.
Jeeves
Yay!
Still too dark to tell whether they're dingly flakes or not though.
*runs outside to play*
Showem
Wooh! Real snowfall! I'm almost as excited as robbieinmunich!
inka
oh, it is coming down here big time now!!! biggrin.gif
Allershausen
Definitely "Dingly" now, it's coming down like mad. Get waxing the skis. smile.gif
grazzenger
please see former posts predicting a layer of snow good enough to scrape together a gravelly snowball on friday morning! bingo.
Tim
In the interior of British Columbia this is what's known as 'Puking'.

As in: "Crap, it's puking, let's get first tracks".
Lupo
Quality powder it is not.
canuck
perfect packing snow...I've already tested it out...

Too warm for that. Looks pretty though. Sticks to the trees nicely.

SNOW SNOW SNOW!!! biggrin.gif
wahoo! i'm excited it's fun! i've already made or taken part in making 3 snowmen (PERFECT packing snow!) since the kids woke me up at 545am to go play! we have one for each of us and each is as tall as us (7yr old, 4yr old, me-23 yr old!)
hehehe it's fun! but my dog's never seen snow before so he'll sometimes bark at it-goofball!!!

hope you're enjoying it too!

My cat's traumatised. Let him out on the balcony and of course he tried to twat it. Large lump fell off the railing onto him head. Not a happy moggy by any stretch of the imagination. I know how he feels. Horrible white shit!
borracuda
Hey! I was out of town for a long time and arrived yesterday..

When I woke up this morning, I saw this:



cool, ain't it? smile.gif
Kza
Shit nothing like that here in Rosenheim. A little bit settled on the grass and car rooves, but its not currently snowing. Have to see what its like in Prien in a half hour or so...

you're an au pair, i hope? since you mentioned your dog, i thought, okay, those are her real children. but if you're an au pair, then the kids would have woken up their real parents, right? huh.gif

not quite sure what to do with the snowfall. damn, i forgot to waterproof my shoes. mad.gif
Kza
Oh I spoke too soon, NOW its snowing in Rosenheim. Shit should have got my winters on. Oh well on the bright side it just makes the autobahn more exciting.
Tim
Quality powder at 500m? biggrin.gif But go up a couple of kms, like in Vorarlberg z.B. and it will be a lot lighter...
sea-king
What`s that white stuff? blink.gif

@elfinstar-
yes au pair. dont worry i'm not 23 and have 2 kids. yes my dog- my dog is here with me so we have 2 dogs and 2 kids in the house.
The mom is in Berlin and the dad was asleep. anyway the kids come and wake me up all the time if they want to play or to crawl into bed w/ me or something. at times cute others not quite so...

so i guess i'm finding a benefit to being in Grunwald- it'll be fun to play in all the fields and forests in the snow!

Just watching those white flakes floating in the air outside my window. Pretty, mesmerising little thing IMHO smile.gif
