Snow sucks, except for skiing. Why do you need snow in the city, it's useless.

It's nice for several things, and you need snow during christmas anyway. I agree that we don't need for so long though.

20 Meters? That's not fog! The sea mists we have here can limit visibility to two meters It's a fine excuse to skip classes though

Stupid North-Sea sends in everything bad: hail, rain, wind, fog but never a good deal of sunshine this time of year :groan:

i got a Q for you Erik..

I'm taking a Geology class this semester and the instructor just said today that Holland's land area almost doubled from the Delta river projects (you know, where the rivers are controled to increase deposition). in other words, a lot of your land didn't exist years ago??

That's true. We drained it from the ocean by pumping the water out. Here's a map that shows the part of our country that's situated BELOW sea-level (it includes Rotterdam, Amsterdam and The Hague):

20-25 degrees

Isn't it warmer, I would say it 25-30 over here. I think no other place has a better temperature in the summer than Norway, it's perfect.

Damn!!

wow, that crazy docter really isn't BSing

Thanks Erik....that's pretty kewl how most cities are like that.

i've seen many pics of Holland and they are all beautiful. it doesn't seem like it's based on "new ground."
i live in New Orleans and it's also below sea level (but it formed naturally long ago) and it's a damn dirty swap here!

now why dont every country with sea shores do the same thing to increase their area...

We pour dirt into the sea to get more land.

We hate that because it's ruining our beautiful harbour

We have a couple of swamps here as well but we managed to dry most of them. Don't ask me exactly how they did that though ... :undecide: I assume they just kept pumping

I always thought New Orleans was beautiful as well! Dunno why ...

it's beautiful if you're a fly or a musqito (sp?).

the only Beautiful things are the old plantation houses. everything else is dirty (maybe it's because i'm comparing it with Riyadh where i grew up which is pretty clean)

Riyadh? Saudi-Arabia, right? I've seen some pictures I think. Is it the city with the really cool mix of old and new architecture? That one looked impressive!

I hate Snow.


Always hated Snow


Will always hate Snow.


Even If Jennifer Lopez and Beyonce Knowles were rolling around together, naked in the snow, in front of me, I would still hate it.

Of course, I'd tell the ladies to come inside and warm up, but I'd still hate the snow.

Several things? Snowballs is one, though that need isn't with me anymore. What else you got?

Oh yeah, 25 is completely sufficient. It's no Mediterranean sea/bathing environment but it's fine for most purposes. 30 sounds a little high for average summer temperature in Trondheim though.

unless you've seen pic of it outside the forms, then i think you mean Dubai, UAE.

but riyadh is a clean city in general and there are a couple of nice buildings and some old ones surrounding the city.

i should post some pics in the "where are you from?" thread.
