Walter Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Saw a family that had to hide in a stream, under a jetty, to stay out of the fires. Kids couldn't swim and we just hanging on to their grandparents. So scary! My thoughts are with you and Reg, slave! We are having unbelievable weather here in Florida, for January! 82 right now as I sit outside watching my son's swim team practice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Strider Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 It's freaking COLD here in L.A.! I've had to break out my gloves. It's still sunny during the day, but the highest it gets is the mid-50s F./ 12-14° C. Nights are freezing...low 40s to mid-30s. Saturday's forecast is 56°/33° F...or 13.3°/0.5° C. Time for a batch of hot cocoa with marshmallows. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
planted Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 (edited) 41F and drizzly. Foggy too, which means its going to warm up tomorrow like they said! Edited January 12, 2013 by planted Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chillumpuffer Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Snow and cold today. The weekend was dry but saturday there was a brisk easterly which made it freezing. There's an old saying "wind from the east is neither good to man nor beast". Too right Yesterday though it was sunny and cold but no breeze so it was OK. Played golf both days and really enjoyed it Problem with the snow today though is, I'm having a tonne of logs delivered and will have to take them to the top of the garden to put in woodstore. I may be sometime!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fool In The Rain 60 Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 (edited) Hope Mrs CP doesn't get held up on her return Journey on Thursday, (snow and the Transport system recipe for Disaster) Light dusting of snow for London. Sky looks laden with more snow though and it is Good luck with putting all your logs away... Edited January 14, 2013 by Fool In The Rain 60 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chillumpuffer Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Thanks Fool. I tell her that a trip up to the cold uplands of Scotland is not a good idea but she is a determined beast Mrs CP. Still it keeps her in coats,bags,shoes,clothes, (contd p94) Not to keen on the logs today. They will have to be taken up the garden which is a snow covered wet slushy mess. But I could put them in the ginnel which seperates my house to next doors but the neighbour ( gollum), yes he does look like him, is shall we say, a little confused as to what is his - if you get me drift? Best to keep in today Fool and watch the snow falling from a leaden sky? Time for a cup of Assam Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chillumpuffer Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 The view from the house. Great/hate. Delete as neccessary? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Best to keep in today Fool and watch the snow falling from a leaden sky? Time for a cup of Assam I see, Mrs CP is a dedicated shopper, if she gets stranded with the Transport she can Shop,Shop,Shop..LOL Put some of the logs in the Ginnel nice and close to the House, and the rest in the wood pile, maybe Gollum will give you a hand to stack them if he is at home...( that's if he is a good Neighbour, my 70 year old Neighbour was helping my son split logs for me yesterday) Would love to stay indoors today but Hospital Appoint this afternoon, so got to go out. View from your House Great, but would Hate to be out in it... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chillumpuffer Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Great advice Fool. He will not help me and too be honest I don't want him to. The guy who delivers the logs will help me. He has been delivering my stash for years and always gives me a lift. Anyway I will get a good buzz out of doing it. Once it is all in I can relax with a glass of wine by the fire, maybe have a small joint of priscilla and watch The Albert Hall show. I have a Sloppy Guiseppe Pizza in the fridge for tonight.

chillumpuffer Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Stopped snowing now so I'll have to prepare for log delivery this arvo. May also have to nip to village store for supplies. Forecast is for more snow later this evening but by that time I'll be chinese eyed and enjoying some up beat 70's guitar tunes Everything still on for Friday Ally?

Charles J. White Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 It’s fucking 11 degrees Celsius today which I think is about 40 F – I’m not a fan of hot January days otherwise I would move to the other colony called Bermuda…No skiing for the next 3 days… Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We had 13 degrees last weekend ( not the one gone). I love mild winter days - this snow can go fuck itself. There is not one reason I can think of for enjoying snow.
