Lots of snow. Dogs love it. I guess they like it when the world looks a bit different.

It's freaking hot here today, -1C only... What a relieve, actually. I don't mind snow and frost, but people are so little used to here that driving is a nightmare. Everybody drives as if they are on oil while the roads have been thorougly cleaned.

Well on the good side here in the Seattle area temps are up around 50 F.  On the down side there is no let up in the rain, so of course we're going through another 100-year flood (we have these every year now), as in if you live near a river, which many do, you're knee deep in it.  Our little creek out back is looking impressive.  I can't wait for the surely looming plague of locusts next week.

I see. Yes, that's a warm place -- do you get heavy rains there, this time of year? No, not yet. We usually get heavy pourings from June-August.
 
 (And just how "brown" are the men there, anyway? More of a very light beige, really, aren't they?)Wink Well, yes. But the Aetas (AKA Atis) who are believed to be the first group to inhabit the Philippine archipelago do have brown skin and hair. 

 Aeta Wiki
 
In any case, your assertion that it will "never" snow there would seem to indicate that you don't believe in continental drift, due to the inexorable movement of the earth's tectonic plates. The lizards and palm trees in Antarctica once smugly believed the same thing....Wink I will be long gone when that happens.LOL
Thanks, Judgment Day -- that was interesting, about the Aetas. I, of course, live on "stolen land" myself. An alternate version of our national anthem begins: " O Canada, our home on (instead of the usual "and") native land...."LOLErmm
 
Now, you might well be gone before the land mass you stand upon goes slamming into another, but I think it would be only prudent of you to always brace yourself against something sturdy, and to eschew standing too close to the edges, just in case...
 
That's why you'll generally find me here, safely ensconced in the middle of the continent -- no sneaky, jagged new mountain range is going to spring up under me while I doze, I can tell you that! Granted, the capricious continents generally creep around the globe slowly and stealthily, but they might well be trying to lull us into incautious complacency and a false sense of security, the better to catch us unawares, and send us all flying "arse over kettle" when they suddenly decide to spring forward into the rocky arms of their massy partners in the tectonic dance! One can't be too careful in these matters -- you have been duly warned! Stern Smile

-27 C here now, and sunny. Lovely day -- if a mite chilly.
 
Thanks for all of the interesting updates on your local weather, folks! Please keep them coming, especially if anything unseasonal or unusual (such as the sudden appearance of exotic flora and fauna hitherto confined to an overseas land) occurs in your area. Smile

Wow, to me that's brutally cold.  I guess in your estimation I am sitting here at a tropical -1.  We are supposed to get a whopping 1-3 inches of snow tonight or tomorrow though.  LOL

You never have a camera handy when you need one do you - hasn't gone above freezing today & due to freezing fog, all the trees have ridiculously thick hoar frost on them turning dreary (Peter.... ) Stevenage into a Narnia lookalike.

Llandeilo, about an hour's drive into Wales from here, recorded -16 on Monday night...Pinch.  We managed to get away with only -10, topping the previous week's -9.  On Tuesday morning, I made my way to north London, everywhere in between being covered with a light blanket of the white stuff...
 
I must say, the Cotswolds looked rather majestic, with deep blue, cloudless sky and the white fields glistening in the sun...Smile
 
that said, this has to be the most prolonged cold snap we've had for getting on for a decade...and yes, its killed a lot of the ground bugs off, but on the other hand, it isn't doing many of the Octagenarians a lot of good either...Ermm

^ the only jumper permitted under the Gothic Codex is the one Robert Smith use to wear - known as the "Fat Bob" among the goffick in-crowd.

Exactly like that Dean - good shots

Ah - Robert Smith, patron of Lipstick For The Blind

[edit]

Looks like same weather tonight as last night - with no sign during today of a thaw, the hoar frost should be fairly impressive tomorrow; I predict a photographic expedition tomorrow

At the very least, I may venture into the garden...

Same here, at least according to the Weather Channel. Actually, it did snow yesterday morning - when I got out of the grocery store, lovely white flakes were falling (though of course they didn't last a second). Today it's quite chilly outside, and temps will probably not rise much above 0°C for the next week or so.

It was about -20 C here in Poland recently. Now it's warmer - not much below 0. And we do have a lot of snow.
