Oh really? Well she's from Plattsburgh, in Clinton County (though goes to uni in Albany) - I'm planning to go over there in the summer! Means I get to visit the States (for once) and get free accommodation! Absolute win! Yeah, I'm au fait with the Fahrenheit scale more or less, can more or less convert from one to the other in my head.
We don't get mega storms at home (the occasional thunderstorm), but we do get the heat and had freezing rain the other week (rare over here)!
Though, if you're the snow shield... My housemate and I both think we are. It never snows in Bournemouth (except now), he's said of the snow falling now "it's usually like this in Grimsby" - result, Grimsby gets hit by snow while he's here. Fantastic.
