No snow?

Kinda sad to see we didn't have the annual NB snow fall this year. I sure kept signing on...looking for it. Waiting for the usual jokes to be cracked, etc. (For newbies who don't know , the creative folks behind the screen would give us falling snow for the month of Dec)
Global warming? The shit show of 2020? Whatever the reason.......impermanence.

Snow clogs up the machinery, who knows what bugs it was responsible for.
@Linc our behind the scenes tech wizard has been updating and improving the forum reliability and simplicity. Hopefully without snow/cocaine
If we pray to the gods and baddass buddhas of the Interweb who snows what might happen ...
Consolation prize ...
That was a very snowy video @lobster winter wonderlands galore
After xmas dinner we streamed a two hour reindeer postal journey through the snow with the Sami people.
Amazing.

Yes, fond memories of the NB snow screen . . .
If it was an Australian Christmas video it would be a fly screen.... 😄
A young member of my family who is 28, has only seen snow once in her town in the south of the U.K. Don’t believe the snow scenes on Christmas cards in England! They are folk memories from “The Little Ice Age” that happened in the early 19th century when the Thames froze over each winter for some years.
It’s wonderful. We have enjoyed all the BBC’s “slow TV” programmes. The absence of background music is refreshing in itself. The Sami one is a delight.
Any snow in your neck of the woods ?
No snow yet, though we had some ice on the ponds a couple of days ago.
No..but that’s normal. It’s a bit chilly out and the forecast is telling of real cold.
Yes we have pretty snowfall last night outlining the trees branches.
How do you edit a photo to make the file size smaller in Mac Photos?
I can't help you @Jeffrey but @Kerome or @lobster might be able to...It would be nice to see the snow in other member's neck of the woods...
@jeffrey there is an Adjust Size tool in the Tools in the Preview app. Maybe that helps?
I have Photos on a Mac. It does not have Tools or Adjust Size tool. Has: Photos, File, Edit, Image, View, Window, Help
Change an image’s dimensions
In the Preview app on your Mac, click the Show Markup Toolbar button (if the Markup toolbar isn’t showing), then click the Adjust Size button .
Enter new values for width and height, or click the “Fit into” pop-up menu and choose a size.
Resize the image by a percentage: Choose “per cent” from the pop-up menu next to the Width and Height fields, then enter the percentage in those fields.
Force the image to keep its original proportions: Select “Scale proportionally”. If you change either the width or height, the other value changes to maintain the proportions. If you choose a size from the “Fit into” pop-up menu, the image’s width or height may be smaller than the chosen size to maintain the proportions.

I don't use mac photos.
If the above does not work, maybe do a search for a resizer or contact Apple Support
Hope that is helpful 🙏🏽 @Jeffrey
If you save or export an image from Photo’s, you can create a jpeg file and if you right-click on that you will see the option to open it with Preview.
Thanks I did find the Preview app which I had never used previously! @Kerome I'll try from right click a different time but yes making it a JPEG file helped out a lot! Thanks!
Edit: didn't expect the photo to be big.. under construction
That's a good coating of snow @Jeffrey ...
A cold front appears to be passing thru. Forecast calls for flurries for the next few days.
Hey it's snowing again on the forum....
Yeah I see it too... and that while we are getting highs of 16 degrees C all of a sudden. Temperatures have literally gone from -10 to +16 in a few days. Crazy weather.
Screen snow? ??
Nice to see it's not just my floaters getting worse.
Ah yes, there it is!
Makes me smile.
At first that's what i thought.
Here in Memphis, we are melting out of the snowfall over the last week. We haven’t had this amount in 50 yrs. Boiling water bec of main breaks, no water pressure and nothing at the stores. It’s been quite a week so far...logged on and saw the snow .... made me smile. ⛄️
@Vastmind - please stay safe
The snow here is now all gone, and we have balmy warm t-shirt weather. I can’t remember ever having such a rapid transition of temps. All the spring flowers are coming out, and it’s February.
same here...1 day, the dog is frolicking in the patches of chilly white stuff, the next, I'm taking my jumper off because it's unseasonally warm! (Don't worry, I have another 5 layers on under the jumper, I'll be fine, y'awl...!)
Bumped.
Have we outgrown the tradition, Dad?
* eyeroll *
Party pooper.
I’ll keep a weather eye out for it…
I think I remember a few years ago that the forum uses different software now, so the snow we fondly remember isn't possible any more. Or maybe I'm just imagining that . . .
I don't think snow's ever shown up as early as mid-December, our server's still a bit too warm then, but for a few days at the end of the year you might spot some if you keep your eyes peeled.
Let it snow! Let it snow!
It's snowing for me! Alas, just electronically here on NB, not so much in my town for Christmass.
Shsssss
don't tell @how......let him think he's got floaters
Is there anyway to turn the snow off? It seems to be bugging on my ipad and it won’t let me copy and paste anything because the comment box is continually moving underneath the on-screen keyboard…
We’ve all taken turns shoveling the snow now….ready for it to be over. 😏
Sorry 'bout that, left it on way longer than intended 😅
Here in the northern Front Range, we've had snow on the ground for months, which is quite unusual for this microclimate. It's pretty thin now, with large patches of ground showing through, but now there's another storm in the forecast for Wednesday.
The NB snow requires no shoveling, doesn't make the roads icy. It's pretty, and charming, and I hope to see it again next winter.
Apparently, we in the UK are bracing ourselves for the possible return of the "Beast from the East" so we may not be quite done with shoveling snow just yet!
