The Midwest is getting a very big storm tonight and tomorrow, and all the weathermen are saying it's going to be the biggest one in over 50 years. We're supposed to get over a foot of snow in Kansas City (or 30.48 cm) 
Oklahoma City is supposed to get the same, and Chicago is supposed to get 1 1/2 feet- this will do some serious damage, especially to the southerners who have no idea how to react when snow falls.

Hey listen , 2.54Cm per inch is close enough to 3 , I just rounded up..... Everything would be easier if you guys would just have kept with the imperial system.

It's 7 out right now at 8am. That's probably warmer than 8am on most spring days in Calgary. But you do realize it's gonna be -13 on Sunday and Monday.

Eh, I'd rather have -31 over +41. The amount of swass that comes with really hot weather is unbearable.

I'd rather have 21-26, 30 is too hot for me, 41 would be unbearable.

I was in Phoenix last July when it was 43 degrees. Wow - it was like constantly walking through a thick wall of heat.
