How many do you get before you have to make them up in June?
How many "snow" days have you had so far this year?
only 1 this year before today. Now we've a winter storm with snow and ice. One of those dangerous ones for here (So. Illinois). Snow with a slow freezing rain. It's truly a wonder filled world outside. There are trees dressed in transparent coats of ice, popping and groaning. The power's been knocked off twice already. Traffic has slowed to practilly non-existant.
Reply:It has been years since we had a snow day.
Reply:I like in the south so there is no snow days. =( We get ice sometimes but rarely get snow.
Reply:well they let us out of work early one day but we don't have to make it up and they paid us for it.
Reply:Zero. We don't get snow days at work.
Reply:Zero =(
I hope we have one today though! It's snowing a bit, and I heard it's going to be sleet soon, then rain.
Reply:I think just one since a lot of our snow fell over Christmas vacation and they (husband and kids) were already out of school anyway. I think there are enough "built-in" snow days that they still get out of school at the normal time. BTW, I've had two days I've gotten to go home early from work due to the electricity being out.

What's a good exotic location for me to stop in??
If I'm travelling return Montreal, Canada to Perth Australia.
What location would a plane/airline automatically stop over in - so it doesn't add much $$$ onto my plane ticket - I would like to keep it less than $3,500 return! I'm traveling in June.
I like:
-Snow.
-Sun.
-Diving.
-Shopping.
-Skying.
What's a good exotic location for me to stop in??
If you fly Singapore Airlines, you get a free stop in Singapore- it's a wonderful, very exotic place. Air New Zealand will give you a stop in Auckland, which is also great. Thai Airways and Japan Airlines (but I'm not sure of their destinations in Australia or if they even fly from Monteal) have connections in Thailand and Japan, respectively. All very exotic and fun places- enjoy :)
Reply:If you fly Air New Zealand, you get a free stop in Auckland, if you fly Singapore airlines (pacific portion), you get free stop in SIN. Going to Perth, you can either connect in southeast asia, or enter Aussie at Sydney then on to Perth. You want exotic? Bali and Fiji are nice but you don't get those trips as free stop-overs.
Reply:Fly from YUL to Vancouver by Air Canada and then from there to Perth by Qantas. Vancouver be quite a fun, I believe. Lots of shopping, sun, sand %26amp; sea activities and that all within yr budget. Try it.

How cold does it get in melbourne, australia in june, july, august?
also, how much snow?
How cold does it get in melbourne, australia in june, july, august?
There's no snow in Melbourne itself in winter. You can drive a couple of hours away to the mountains - falls creek, etc, if you want to see snow. It gets a bit fresh in the mornings, overnight lows of maybe 4C. If the sun comes out, it's usually pleasant - 20C... It hasn'r rained much over the last 10 or so winters. It can get hotter, not much colder though. I think the coldest high during the day would be about 15C.
Anyways, I hope that helps!
Have a look here, you may find a bit more detail.

Reply:f you look at a good map you will see a line that runs across just above the centre of Australia from Rockhampton to western Australias pilbarra region. This is the line of the Tropic of Capricorn and all areas in Australia above that line are in The tropics. The tropics only has 2 seasons wet and dry the dry season is between April and September so June July and August are absolutly perfect for being anywhere up North. Brisbane and the Gold Coast are semi tropical . It can get cold at night but usually nice sunny days around that time of year. Perth can get cold in winter but not freezing Sydney melbourne and Canberra can get bitterly cold. Not so much Sydney . June july and August are so perfect for Cairns The great barrier reef The WhitSundays Darwin Broome and all those wonderful places up North.
Reply:Chilly, but if you're from outside of Australia you won't think it's so bad. Australians have a low tolerence for true cold!
North American winters that stay below zero and have several feet of snow are unheard of in Australia.
In Melbourne, expect daily highs around 12-16degrees celsius and lows around 4-8degrees celsius. Of course this is an average. On certain days it can get a lot colder or warmer than these averages. Also 4 seasons in one day is common.
Reply:I went and lived there for 3 years back in the early 1980's and I can tell you it's cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey at that time of year.
The weather reports over there include a "wind chill factor" which is unheard of elsewhere in Australia.
This "wind chill factor" actually means that it is colder than it is.
I found ice on my car during those months and ice on the road too. It's scary stuff, but doesn't happen all winter thankfully.
Reply:For one... it doesn't snow in any of the mainland capital cities. Snow (in Australia), stays up in the mountains... where it belongs. So we don't get any snow in Melbourne. If you want to see snow in an Australian capital city... try Hobart. Otherwise, it snows in Canberra some times. Which is hard to believe given all the hot air there! LOL
As for cold... on the odd occasion, it can get down to -4*C overnight. And I mean "odd occasion"... like every seven or eight years or so.
More often than not though, the daytime low is in the single digits -- 4*C to 9*C. With the daytime high usually in the low- to mid-teens.
Reply:well i live near the beach(Franskton)..In winter June-September we can have temps of in between 3-15 max...
My niece lives in yarra Junction they have Mt Donna Buang right at their door-step..It is roughly 1 1/2 hours drive from Melbourne..
The best places for snow in Victoria are Mt Buller and Mt Baw Baw(Mt baw Baw is near Warrigal) 2 hrs from Melbourne...Really there are plenty of places in Victoria that get snow...

Reply:Usually down to 3 or 4 Celsius, about 36 - 42 F. at night, up to 12C to 20 C during the day. No snow in M. (usually) but after the beginning of June may start falling in the ranges about 100k away. Some good skiing about 200 ks away.

Snow in my atic?
I purchased a new home in june 2005 . Yesterday I noticed water leaking from my kitchen cealing. I live in a 2 story cape code so I looked in my atic space above my kitchen on top of my blown in insulation there was a small pile of snow melting causing the leak what's the deal please help
Snow in my atic?
I love these questions. People ask me why I live in New Orleans!!!!! Your problem is geographical in nature. MOVE SOUTH Come on even the birds know. HAPPY MARDI GRAS Gotta go buy some fresh shrimp, and crabs, oh yea don't forget the crawfish!!!!Lais les bon temps roulle!!!!!!!!
Reply:You need to be a little better detective. Where is the snow? It is under a vent? If it is, check the vent to make sure that the vent is not broken. The vent should have slats that angle down. Did they install it upside down? If the snow is towards the outside edge it may have blown up under the eaves and through a vent there. Check the outside of the house, under the eave. Is there a vent there? Is it broken or loose? Or, is there a window in the attic space? Is it broken or ill fitting? Once you determine where the snow is located...then you can detect where is might have come in? If you had a very strong wind storm along with snow, it could have blown in a vent that is not in need of repair. Sometimes the wind simply blows hard enough to foil the vent.
Reply:You obviously have a whole in your roof somewhere. To the guy above talking about moving south...I see your point, but I will take a bit of snow over giant city-destroying hurricanes.
Reply:YOu could have a hole in the roof.
Reply:Hole. Opening in the roof or siding. Have an air vent in the siding? Loose shingles? Loose mortar along chimney base?
You will have to go up on the top of the roof and look around. Even with a strong blowing wind you should not have an entry for snow. A professional roofer might be able to pinpoint situation if you cannot locate opening.
Reply:My answer is the same as you asked this question before.
Reply:block up the holes where the snow is coming in.

What varieties of Apple trees would be best for a small orchard in my area?
I live in north eastern Montana about 50 miles south of the canadian border. Temperatures during the year go from 100 degrees in the summer to 40 degrees below zero in the winter. I have a couple of Praire Spy trees that seem to be doing alright but I want to have the biggest apples possible in the shortest growing period. It has been known to freeze here up to May 20th and it has snowed on the first of June some years.
What varieties of Apple trees would be best for a small orchard in my area?
'King' apples are big fruit and tough trees. Good keepers too.
Is the 'Prairie Spy' the same as a 'Northern Spy'? If not the 'Northern Spy' is a lovely apple...I'm not sure on it's cold tolerance.
According to my Sunset Western Gardener here are a few potential choices:
'Beverly Hills' , 'Honeycrisp' , recommended for Minnesotta,
'Norland', a Canadian special, 'Summerred', and 'Wealthy'.
Mmmm I love apples!!!
Reply:contact the experimental and research farm in Morden, Manitoba. they have been developing flowers, fruits and vegetables there for many decades that are specially meant for our harsh canadian climates.
Reply:I would contact the local extension agency. They will be able to tell you what will thrive in your area. Another good place would be a large local nursery or even a local orchard if there is one. It sounds like your growing span is short, so good luck with your hunt for a good variety of apple.
We are planting apple trees in 2007, and our climate is great for lots of varieties, and we have chosen mutsu and jonagold.

How is the climate at Himanchal pradesh now in June?

How is the climate at Himanchal pradesh now in June?
hot climate
Reply:Himachal is situated in the western Himalayas. Covering an area of 55,780 kilometres (34,660 mi),[1] Himachal Pradesh is a mountainous state with elevation ranging from about 350 metres (1,148 ft) to 6,000 metres (19,685 ft) above the sea level.[10]
River Beas near Manali.The drainage system of Himachal is composed both of rivers and glaciers. Himalayan rivers criss-cross the entire mountain chain. In fact the rivers are older than the mountain system. [11] Himachal Pradesh provides water to both the Indus and Ganges basins.[12] The drainage systems of the region are the Chandra Bhaga or the Chenab, the Ravi, the Beas, the Sutlej and the Yamuna. These rivers are perennial and are fed by snow and rainfall. They are protected by an extensive cover of natural vegetation. [12]
There is great variation in the climatic conditions of Himachal due to extreme variation in elevation. The climate varies from hot and sub-humid tropical in the southern tracts to cold, alpine and glacial in the northern and eastern mountain ranges with more elevation.[13] The state has areas like Dharamsala that receive very heavy rainfall, as well as those like Lahaul and Spiti that are cold and almost rainless. Broadly Himachal experience three seasons; hot weather season, cold weather season and rainy season. Summer lasts from mid April till the end of June and most parts become very hot (except in alpine zone which experience mild summer) with the average temperature ranging from 28 °C (82 °F) to 32 °C (90 °F).[14] Winter lasts from late November till mid March. Snowfall is common in alpine tracts (generally above 2,200 metres (7,218 ft) i.e. in the Higher and Trans-Himalayan region).[

In fact the rivers are older than the mountain system. [11] Himachal Pradesh provides water to both the Indus and Ganges basins.[12] The drainage systems of the region are the Chandra Bhaga or the Chenab, the Ravi, the Beas, the Sutlej and the Yamuna. These rivers are perennial and are fed by snow and rainfall. They are protected by an extensive cover of natural vegetation. [12]
There is great variation in the climatic conditions of Himachal due to extreme variation in elevation. The climate varies from hot and sub-humid tropical in the southern tracts to cold, alpine and glacial in the northern and eastern mountain ranges with more elevation.[13] The state has areas like Dharamsala that receive very heavy rainfall, as well as those like Lahaul and Spiti that are cold and almost rainless. Broadly Himachal experience three seasons; hot weather season, cold weather season and rainy season. Summer lasts from mid April till the end of June and most parts become very hot (except in alpine zone which experience mild summer) with the average temperature ranging from 28 °C (82 °F) to 32 °C (90 °F).[14] Winter lasts from late November till mid March. Snowfall is common in alpine tracts (generally above 2,200 metres (7,218 ft) i.e. in the Higher and Trans-Himalayan region).[
