wander if its right? dont think it will be tho the wind is just way to strong thing theyve made a mistake

Re: weather??
 

I find this really funny:D:dancedog::D

Re: weather??
 

If the wind is going to be that strong on Friday, think i'll cancel the day and stay in bed listening to it. lol

Re: weather??
 

I suggest moving the bed downstairs because with those winds no-one will have a roof

Re: weather??
 

no-one would have an house:eek:

Re: weather??
 

met office says Heavy rain wed night and thurs!

Re: weather??
 

Did you go? I promise you there's not been a smidge of snow around Warrington today, not even any frost this morning. It snowed twice, in this area, yesterday. Both times it was for 5 minutes and both times it melted before it hit the ground.

Re: weather??
 

well met office have suddenly changed it lol its not gunna be so windy after all haha i thought it was good trick to play on us all

Re: weather??
 

Yep i did,took me ages to defrost my car and remove several inches of snow.
I had my car booked in for its first service,was a lovely morning in Warrington and no snow to be seen

Re: weather??
 

Teach them how to skate ... you can't start them too young; and who knows, they could end up in the NHL:alright:

Re: weather??
 

These 2????? Theyd end up attacking each other or something lol

Re: weather??
 

Two is old enough ... if they can toddle, they can skate:alright: Who knows, you could have a couple of Wayne Gretkys in your family;)

Re: weather??
 

Drat, and i've spent half the day moving my bed downstairs. :D

Re: weather??
 

And attacking one another is all part of hockey:theband:

Re: weather??
 

Just when we thought winter was on its way out -
news that more Siberian icy winds are due to blast us next week
Bitter Siberian winds set to bring snow and give UK coldest winter for 13 years | Mail Online

In Australia folks are dying in a heatwave:rolleyes:

Re: weather??
 

Tempratures of 40+ for the next week or so
last night was the hottest over night on record & people were sleeping on the beach

Re: weather??
 

Thanks Peter.
Just what we wanted to hear think i will jump on a plane and come and sleep in your garden ok.

Re: weather??
 

Groundhog Day is next week .... let's keep our fingers crossed. And there aren't too many people sleeping on the local beaches .... this might have something to do with the fact that they are under several feet of snow:mosher: It's been snowing for the past couple of days; and it looks like snow in the forcast for at least the next five days:eek:

Re: weather??
 

you probably would not get much sleep.it was siill 35 degrees at 7.00 am when i went to work this morning.

Re: weather??
 

Well you come here and you can have a good sleep in one of my beds amd be frozen but i will put you a hot water bottle in and one for christine as well now thats a good offer dont you think.:D

Re: weather??
 

Another link to the expected weather next week, but not the weather that interested me, it was the comment by Akki of Accrington where the Icelanders have sent 3,000 jumpers to the U.K. because they had heard our elderly residents were suffering due to them not being able to pay their fuel bills.

Felt a bit funny about it .. being a relief area .. :( Still, good to know we can get help from other countrys instead of handing it out.

Big chill set to hit Lancashire next week (From Lancashire Telegraph)

Re: weather??
 

Has anyone any idea where all those jumpers went? I saw the report in the papers but it didn't mention any destination. Will those who might be entitled to one have to apply through the "usual channels"? If so, I can see it being mid Summer, 2010, before they get a cardi. :rolleyes:

Re: weather??
 

Finally made it ... the snowbanks at the side of my driveway are now taller than I am:theband:

Re: weather??
 

Any pics Eric?

Re: weather??
 

I'll charge up my digi and see what I can do.

Re: weather??

Re: weather??
 

Just hope that's all it does. Don't want a really heavy snow fall.

Re: weather??
 

oh i do, i LOVEEEEEEEE snow :D

Re: weather??
 

I'm with you on that one flashy, i love snow too. But not this week, to much to do.

Re: weather??

Re: weather??
 

Just drove back from M/chester and snowing hard on m62.pretty sure it will reach us

Re: weather??

Re: weather??

I do love snow too Flashy, but i hate the bloody slush, wish people wouldnt walk on it:angry:....LOL

Re: weather??

Re: weather??
 

HAHA:rolleyes:

Re: weather??
 

Must admit it does look lovely out there at the moment.

Just off to work soon (walking), wonder if i get sent home early. I do hope so.

Re: weather??
 

lol, thought i would get a telling off from you this morning Sara l

Re: weather??
 

No you won't get a telling of from me flashy. Especially if i get sent home early fingers crossed. Have a nice day, and build your Reech a snowman.

Re: weather??
 

Yep there is still a bit about:)

Re: weather??
 

noticed only one set of footprints in the snow (Pic 3) .. must have been the paperlad dont folk go to work in your street (looks like it was daylight)
:D ;)

Re: weather??
 

They where taken at 8-08 this morning not much gets moving round here till 8-45 when kids go to school
the one set of foot prints are from someone heading to express gifts.
not seen a paper lad round here for ages
the place in the road with not much snow is from a milk float that parks there most evenings
the rest of the cars are taxis

Re: weather??
 

Ah , So it must have been a Pole or other Eastern European (just going of whats beeen said in other threads ) ;) :D

is that one of the streets between Blackburn Rd. and Hyndburn Rd. ( e.g. Persia st.) looks kind of familiar

Re: weather??
 

Lancashire closed again due to a bit of snow:

Re: weather??
 

Yes its Persia st

Re: weather??
 

its snowing in rishton

Re: weather??
 

thats a blessing.:D;)

Re: weather??
 

Got some .... but seem to be having problems getting them on here .... maybe I will figure it out later:confused:

Re: weather??
 

Maybe living in the snow and ice is good for your health .... a member of the Inuit Rangers was recently decorated for his service by our Govenor General ... he is still an active member of the Rangers at the age of 88:eek:

Re: weather??
 

Well, the bad news is in; Nova Scotia's Shubenacadie Sam, Ontario's Wiarton Willie, and Punxsutawney Phil of Gobbler's Knob, Pa. all saw their shadows:mad: So that will be six more weeks of winter .... Happy Ground Hog Day:theband:

Re: weather??
 

Probably about 6" of white stuff here in Leeds. Kids and wife all got the day off, not muggins though:-(

Re: weather??
 

Still snowing here too, though the forecast says sleet:confused:

Re: weather??
 

Hi those of you travelling to Prostar tonight unless the weather significantly changes (unlikely) tonights game is on

Re: weather??
 

We had an inch of snow yesterday morning. Most of it thawed by lunchtime but then we got another inch last night. By this morning it had all gone!

Re: weather??
 

Do you really believe in all that?

Re: weather??
 

Yup ... and Santa too ... and don't forget the Tooth Fairy:mosher::D:D

Re: weather??

Re: weather??

Re: weather??
 

Watch the roads tomorrow guys, if ya driving....Met Office: North West England: severe weather warnings

Weather warning!

Re: weather??
 

If South Aussie is out there, please let us know you are OK ..x

Re: weather??
 

Think he might be in a different state Kate. South Australia on his profile. The fires are in Victoria. :)

Re: weather??
 

Right, got it .... you mean South Australia as a 'state' (south east), rather than geographic south... which is where Victoria is. Just that he was talking about very high temperatures of 40+, Should be OK then. Ta.

Is difficult to imagine what they are going though isn't it.

Re: weather??
 

Right now it is 3:21 m and it is Foggy and the temp is
around 50 degrees

Re: weather??
 

We have been very lucky so far ,and not had any major bushfires as yet,in South Australia.
A fire started on Saturday [20klms away ] but was quickly extinguished.
South Australia is noted as being the driest state in the driest continent on earth
Let,s hope our good luck continues

Re: weather??
 

Just finished looking at some pics on CBC.ca ... you guys got hit real bad ... Here's wishing you all "good luck".

Re: weather??
 

Thanks for your response South Aussie .. very relieved.

Hey, blobs of ice dropped out from my milk this morning as I poured it over me breakfast cereal. First time for years.

Re: weather??
 

Im hoping i can get the BBQ out this summer, since its been in the shed for 2 years!!:(

Re: weather??
 

Having a bbq is not just a summer thing .... I used mine several times this winter ... shovel away the snow and away we go ... I have a great pic of my bbq peeking out of a snowbank, but I can't seem to get the damn thing on here:mad:

Re: weather??
 

Can ya imagine getting the BBQ out now?, id get some right funny looks!!, LOL...but i bet it would smell bloody good and taste:)

Re: weather??
 

When we had that scortching hot summer 2 years ago I desperately tried to buy a mobile airconditioning machine and they were sold out.

I eventually got one in a January sale (be prepared for next time I thought)

It has been used for less than 24 hours in total in the 2 years since.:o

It has an alternative function as a BIG fan heater - which might be needed someday:rolleyes:

Re: weather??
 

Which scortching hot summer was that Margaret?

Re: weather??
 

You don't remember :eek:
...you need to change your butcher ;)

Re: weather??
 

Damn right it would smell and taste good ... imagine, out onto the ice, dig a hole, pull out some fat Walleye's, then home to the bbq ... a nice white wine chilling in the snowbank ..... mmmmmm:theband: if you live in a country where real winter weather is a given, you might as well get out and enjoy it ..... :mosher:

Re: weather??
 

Snowing today ... snowed yesterday ... and tomorrow, snow.

Re: weather??
 

Just checked the long range forcast, and it looks like we might get ... you guessed it ... more snow:Banane49:

Re: weather??
 

Im fed up with snow now, want sun!!!

Re: weather??
 

It's snowing here ... and the forcast for tomorrow, more snow .... we started winter weather here in the last two weeks of October, and winter is still going strong. I've worn out one snow shovel, and have had to have my skates sharpenned 4 times .... but I still use the bbq, and all you have to do to get fresh fish is drill a hole in the ice.:theband:

Re: weather??
 

Eric , ever thought about buying one of these for getting around Kingston , a 1924 concept vehicle , film is a bit slow to start , but interesting when it gets going

Snow Vehicle Concept (1924)

Re: weather??
 

Wow ... is that ever a neat vehicle .... I wish I had enough engineering knowledge to figure out why those "wheels" lost out to the tracked snowmobiles .... :confused:

Re: weather??
 

Weather??? Last week I was golfing and today 6inch of the white stuff. The good news, we,re heading down to Palm Springs for the month of March, 78 deg down there today. Golf, golf and more golf.

Re: weather??
 

My golf clubs will be hanging out in the basement for a while yet:mad: But at least I can fish all year round ... as long as I leave Canada for Tyendenaga:mosher:

Re: weather??
 

You,ll have to explain that last bit Eric? My fishing license only costs me $6 this year and I intend to make the best of it.

Re: weather??
 

Oh, Tyendenaga is First Nations territory ..... Bay of Quinte Mohawks.

Re: weather??
 

Be careful Eric them Mohawks are good with them Tomahawks:D

Re: weather??
 

Nah ... tomahawks are old hat ... they all have firearms now ... and for all you smokers: cigs are only $10 for a carton of 200 on the rez; and good cuban cigars $10 a pop:mosher:

And it's been bloody cold here for the past few days .... down to -25 with the windchill:mad:

Re: weather??
 

Is snow on the way again??, i hope not!

Re: weather??
 

Oh yeh, more snow is on the way ... but only a light dusting of 10cm on the weekend .... this has been a long winter ... but it can't last more than a couple of more months:eek:

Re: weather??
 

Do you get cabin fever sometimes?

Re: weather??
 

Bushfires in Victoria just about under control

Here in SA our first rainfall in 80 days,even though it was only 10 mm, it was most welcome.

Re: weather??
 

well we got a slight covering of snow overnight, most of it seems to have landed on the car.:eek:

Re: weather??
 

Looks like you'll have to keep your shirt on then Eric, when your shifting the snow:D

Re: weather??
 

Big snowflakes this afternoon....didnt they look lovely?:D

clear night tonight so its gonna be cold!

Re: weather??
 

Never ... in winter I live in an igloo .... and, according to the long range forecast, I might have to get my teepee ready to go ..... ;)

But seriously ... no, when winter arrives, I get out and enjoy it .... drove past the lake yesterday and there were lots of folks out on the ice enjoying the sunshine ... it was cold (about -15 with the windchill) but that doesn't keep everyone from having fun. And it looks like spring might be on the way in the next couple of weeks ... and if the next few weeks don't bring us nice weather, I can always take in a show at the K-Rock ... looks like Neil Young, k. d. lang, Bryan Adams, the Tragically Hip, and Diana Krall will be coming this month.

This has been a long, cold winter ... the worst in 15 years ... esp. out west: in Regina, Sask. they had 60 days where they recorded temps below -30:eek: But .... almost over:mosher:

Re: weather??
 

Wasnt it a nice day today?, i hope it will be the same tomorrow, gonna drag me fella out on a bike ride then clear the shed:D
