Re: weather??
 

What a gorgeous day! I'll spare you the details. Snicker, snicker.

Re: weather??
 

Ok ... can't resist it. Temperature25 ... clear ... gentle breeze from the lake ... a few light clouds ... I moved a table under the big maple tree in my yard ... a great beer drinking and bbqing day .... but the bad news is; same tomorrow and a little nicer for the weekend. I know where I'm spending my vacation this year; right here in Canada.

Re: weather??
 

And the bad news did come true. Even better than yesterday. Except for the hangover. Don't drink Root Beer Schnapps on a ho s'ixgsdaojfpa[paougjpuhg ... Sorry about that, one of my cats walked across the keyboard. I'll leave in the gibberish just in case someone has a cat who might understand what it means.

Re: weather??
 

The whole time away and now currently, it's been very hot (for this time of year), 80 - 90s with no rain. Quite the bother to come back to these conditions when I have much other things to catch up on! Accy sent me some of that delightful cool rainy weather please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Brian

Re: weather??
 

Cool rainy weather .... delightfull???????? I think that if you are spending time in the sun you should wear a hat:D

Meanwhile, we are suffering thro' temps in the mid 20s, clear skies, gentle breezes .... oh for some cool rainy weather! I don't be thinking so:eek:

Re: weather??

Re: weather??
 

I hear that residents of Cullpepper, Virginia would like you to send them some rain and cooler temps.

But is southern Ontario, we are quite happy with what we have ... I will spare you the details.

Re: weather??
 

Why don't you convert to metric temps ... this makes it seem cooler. Like, here it's 25 right now. Sorry about the spelling, but we are used to names like Kwartha, Ponteix, etc., .... or maybe it's the English in me. England where very little is pronounced as it is spelt!

I hear that Baffin Island is a great spot to get away from the heat.

Re: weather??
 

Blimey!! Its just gone really really dark in Ossy, literally within a few minutes.... theres either a giant alien craft in the sky :D or its going to hammer it down. Its still not very cold though so its looking like a thunderstorm!!

Re: weather??
 

Coming your way...............from Darwen
Thunder and hailstones..........get your wellies on

Re: weather??
 

It has just been thundering & lightening :notworthy

Re: weather??

Re: weather??
 

Aliens in Ossy? They sure can't be looking for intelligent life! I always thought that there was constant darkness in Ossy .... :Dbetween the ears of the inhabitants:D

In Kingston, the weather is boringly great.;)

Re: weather??
 

Thats got to be a wind up.
I have seen many canadians walking about with vacant looks and glazed eyes on my travels...............and not too bright either

Re: weather??

Re: weather??

Just been on bbc website and this is the weather forecast for today:

Now this afternoon i had my washing out on the line and it dried in a couple of hours. Was gardening having to dig out the weeds on the front for 3 hours. Stood talking to the neighbours for another half hour. Then went up to the chippie in my tshirt and jeans - wheres the rain? :D

Re: weather??
 

Up with the sparras this morn.Blue sky,sun shining,did some washing..on line drying.Had a brew & read the paper in the back yard.A proper summer type of morning,if you will.Later,weather still permitting of course,i shall don shorts & t-shirt & take myself off to a local beer garden.:)

Re: weather??
 

I bought a mobile Air conditioning unit in January (last years stock going cheap) - looking forward to using it soon.

Re: weather??
 

Never made the beer garden....the bar b q made its debut for 2007....bit of a half arsed attempt but we all had a burger.Had'nt really time to prepare or invite anyone round,this weather really does catch you out.Tomorrow we may go sledging or sunbathing....have'nt quite decided yet:rolleyes:

Re: weather??
 

do you have to put a pipe out through the window for it to work...

I am thinking of getting one, and are they any good....

cheers Magpie

Re: weather??
 

Yes it is a 'pipe through the window sort' - (Hyndburn Homes wouldnt like me to knock a hole in the wall :D.)
They work like a fridge in reverse. I havent used it as a cooler yet but have tested it's heating function to make sure I hadn't bought something duff. You can get air coolers which just blow air over ice, and they are cheaper, but my cousin in Wales has one like that and she says she wished she had paid a bit more and got one with refridgerant.

Re: weather??
 

Ive got my shorts on, t-shirt and sandals.
Appologies in advance if it snows tomorrow. :D

Re: weather??
 

Today we have a cold front moving in from the north of course. This will clash with the warm air mass and give us a storm, a nice relief from the muggy high 20s we had for a week. Thank god for the lake ... on the hottest days a five minute walk brings me to the water and the cool breeze.

Re: weather??
 

Put on my wellies today waiting for the snow and it turned out to be a lovely day again.

Re: weather??
 

you been on the:Banane40:....LOL
was a bit breezy though, especially in the shade:cool:

Re: weather??
 

Wish it had been a bit breezy in our factory,it's like working in a greenhouse when the suns out & i'm on 2-10(glass panels in roof).And to rub salt in my wounds there always seems to be folk sat outside pubs en route to work.

Re: weather??
 

We have a nice northerly air flow today .... good clean Canadian air ... the air quality is great ... the sun is out .... and the walleye season is open ... it don't get much better, and this weather is set in for a few days. With the looney at a 20 year high, I might just sail over to New York and stock up on cheap booze. A few belts of some potent potable makes the great weather even better. What goes well with bbq walleye? White wine? Vodka? Beer? What the hell, some of everything. As an aside, Ontarians spent over 4 billion dollars at the liquor stores last year. A new record. Drink up, eh!

Re: weather??
 

well whats happened to the weather today then?, bit dull innit, but close, wonder if we will get thunder:p, havent had a good thunder storm for ages:D

Re: weather??
 

A wonderful weekend just passed, especially great because on Saturday, Kingston celebrated First Capital Day .... (Kingston was the first capital of Canada) ... Yesterday a thunderstorm which cleared the air, and today: Back to balmy.

It's comforting that I am so many kilometres away from most of you ... however hard you throw the rotten fruit at me, I'm out of range.

Re: weather??
 

Go on Eric tell me more about your wonderful trees (you are risking my arrival on your doorstep - I hope you realise that :D )

Re: weather??
 

Which tree? I have two maples and a large elm. Tho' I don't really own them, the squirrels and the birds do:) Kingston does have a large urban forrest, though the trees took a beating in the ice storm of '99. But that's not the kind of weather I wish to brag about, altho' it was awe inspiring, 4 days of freezing rain and high winds does give an alien aspect to the landscape.:eek:

Re: weather??
 

seen on telly this morning that the last time we had horrible weather like this, it was the year that the rest of the summer was horrible!
i hope not, its nearly july and havent used me barbie since ......ooooo i cant bloody remember...LOL
when is the sun gonna come back??:(

Re: weather??
 

Record temperature of 49 degrees Celsius in Italy, and weather in the UK that makes you think you should really be building an Ark.

If this is global warming they can keep it.

Re: weather??
 

:eek:thats 120.2 degrees Fahrenheit!!
surley noone can survive that!!

Re: weather??
 

My best friend Miily's dad lives down in Puglia, the place in the south that recorded the temperature.

He said it's horrible, and old people are dropping like flies.:(

It'd be great if we reached 20 today.

Re: weather??
 

I wonder if the culvert of the River Hyndburn is big enough to cope with this abnormally high rainfall. Has anyone anything to report about the size of the river in its visible sections?
(A forum thread 'The culverting of the river' a few years ago detailed its route.)

Re: weather??
 

It must be really abnormal weather you guys are having in the north ... it even made our local news ... pictures of choppers in Sheffield, the dam in Rotherham ... (I know; who gives a damn ... it's only Yorkshire) ... We are having a mini heat wave ... 32 with high humidex, about 5 less by the lake ... but tomorrow the weather is supposed to break, with a cold front, storms, and cooler temps. But we are having, esp in western Canada, many more tornadoes than is usual. I do think the debate on climate change is over ... climate change won.

Re: weather??
 

If you see anyone trying to bury their goldfish today in the Tinker, please feel free to warn them.:D

Re: weather??
 

oh no......weather warnings for weekend, hope we dont get flooded like yorkshire:(

Met Office: North West England: severe weather warnings

Re: weather??
 

Going to Hisaraonu, Turkey next week. They are having extremely high temps at the moment, it's in the mid 40s. But i know where i would rather be if it was between here and Turkey.

Re: weather??
 

IN JULY....LOLAttachment 9603:eek:

Re: weather??
 

Fingers crosssed, that it picks up before July 15th.:rolleyes:


St Swithin’s Day, if it does rain
Full forty days, it will remain
St Swithin’s Day, if it be fair
For forty days, t'will rain no more.

Re: weather??
 

that reminds me, where can i buy a good brolly??

Re: weather??
 

Or: If you can see the top of Pendle Hill it is going to rain. If you can't see the top of Pendle Hill, it is raining.:rolleyes:

Re: weather??
 

We looked at the River Hyndburn yesterday...it was fast flowing and full, but there was still a good way before it reached the top of the culvert......that was down Bull Bridge.
OK....so i know we have had a lot of rain since then.
And yesterday I surfed down Riley's Hill on a wave of rainwater.

Re: weather??
 

The Hyndburn? Is that the river that I knew as the River Stink when I was decades younger? Really used to smell down by (I think) the paper mill in Rishton.

Anyway, people of Accrington, we need some rain in Kingston. Maybe a trade agreement: we would be happy to take some rain. We have to trade an abundant supply of moskies, skunk, squirells, chipmunk, deer, moose, bear, wolves, coyotes, snapping turtles, Canada geese, mallard, all kinds of game birds, and loons (altho' I hear that Ossy has an oversupply of these). Maybe some sunshine, we have enough of that to spare. And to fill all the new lakes that may soon be on your doorstep, how about some bass, lake trout, salmon, perch, walleye, whitefish, lake cod etc.:)

Re: weather??
 

yeh thats the stink eric n you have also educated me, didnt realise that was it in rishton.;)

Re: weather??
 

I remember that there was a path thro' Swales' farm, Ringstonhalgh, that came out in Rishton,and that if you went down to the end of the field, there was always a rope hanging from one of the trees, and you could swing out over the river. I wonder if the kids who fell in ever glowed in the dark after:confused:

Oh, almost forgot, it's also strawberry season, so we can trade a few tonnes of strawberries for a few thousand litres of rain:cool:

Re: weather??
 

facts about lightning!
did you know you are not supposed to lie down outside during a storm!!:eek:
or that rubber soles on ya shoe are a waste of time!

Before the thunderstorm

• Unplug all non-essential appliances, including the television, as lightning can cause power surges
• Seek shelter if possible. When you hear thunder you are already within range of where the next ground flash may occur, lightning can strike as far as 10 miles away from the centre of a storm
• During the thunderstormAttachment 9613
  You should use the '30-30 Rule' to determine if lightning threatens :
  Count the seconds between seeing the lightning, and hearing the thunder. If this time is 30 seconds or less, the lightning is close enough to be a threat. Seek shelter immediately.
  Lightning may be hidden by clouds, if you can hear thunder, lightning is likely to be a threat.
  • Avoid using the phone — telephone lines can conduct electricity
  • Avoid using taps and sinks — metal pipes can conduct electricity
  • If outside avoid water and find a low-lying open place that is a safe distance from trees, poles or metal objects
  • Avoid activities such as golf, rod fishing or boating on a lake
  • If you find yourself in an exposed location it may be advisable to squat close to the ground, with hands on knees and with head tucked between them
  • Try to touch as little of the ground with your body as possible, do not lie down on the ground
  • If you feel your hair stand on end, drop to the above position immediately.

so now you know:DAttachment 9613

Re: weather??
 

Blimey, have I woken up in the wrong country ? It's not raining ! (at the moment !:rolleyes:)

Re: weather??
 

Bin that last hopelessly optimistic post; it IS now raining !:(

Re: weather??
 

My new mobile aircon unit has been used for 2 days only :(
I am taking vitamin D to compensate for lack of sunshine.
This miserable summer is sending me into decline.
I might as well hibernate all year round.
Greta Garbo said it all - "I vant to be alone"

Re: weather??
 

Well the air-con and the vitamins are doing wonders for your hair Greta, it looks great!:D

Re: weather??
 

Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse, along comes Captain Canuck to tell you about the beautiful weather in the colonies. A little rain this morning, with some distant thunder over the lake. Temps. later today in the low 20s, a little cooler by the water, light west winds, partly cloudy, but with long sunny periods. I think I might take a trip out to the berry farm, and pick up some fresh strawberries - if you pick your own they are dirt cheap, and you can snack for free while you pick.:D:D:D

Somehow, I don't think this will cheer you up;)

Re: weather??
 

Eric, you know what? You were exactly right. i have a line of towels drying in the garage...they should be blowing snowily on the line.......I heard on the weather forecast that it was going to be breezy so put in 3 large bath sheets and some other towels....they may be dry by next week...either that or mouldy.

Re: weather??
 

So if you do get struck by lightning you will be in a perfect position to kiss your a** goodby, neat, eh.:banjump:

Re: weather??
 

Exactly right that I peed everyone off?:confused: I have a clothesline. I should use it more for clothes .... think green I guess. Now I hang bird feeders on it. When the feeders are on the line, it makes it difficult for the squirells to get at the food. Hanging out the washing would be a great idea today, because the weather, in case I forgot to mention it:D, is gorgeous. Nah, I think I'll leave it as it is. Much better looking at the sparrows, jays, and cardinals instead of my socks and shorts.

Re: weather??
 

Well, I like my line dried laundry...have not had a dryer for many many years...and when I did have one it was mainly a storeplace for stuff that needed to be ironed. :)
I think probably Saturday is looking about the best day over the weekend.

Re: weather??
 

What's the forcast for Sat.? Light drizzle instead of rain?

Re: weather??
 

Showers, but with some bright spells.:)

Re: weather??
 

when i was young me mam used to hide in the pantry with light out when it lightened, which as a kid,i thought hilarious, when i was older she told me her sister was killed by it when they were coming home from school,that sure as hell stopped me taking the mick.:o she also used to disconnect the telly cos she thought if it hit the ariel it would travel down the cable,dont know if thats the case?

Re: weather??
 

hasnt it been nice this afternoon?, well i think i might mow the lawn in a bit, i know its getting late but its too bushy and it might rain tomorrow, well not might, probably will:D

Re: weather??
 

Finally, some rain, along with high winds and quite a nice little storm. Unfortunately the rain won't last, and by tomorrow, we will be back in that damned sunshine, with temps in the high 20s. Not to worry, if the long range forcast is accurate, the wonderful rain will be back at the end of next week.

Re: weather??
 

This is getting beyond a a joke now ! You work all week and then can't do anything on the day off you get 'cos it's bl**dy raining again ! It's weeks since I've seen a cricket match, the bbq is unused since last August and there is no chance of me going and sorting the rabbits out in this downpour ! GRRRR. Just a couple of hours would be nice,or it could rain all it wants during the night ....:s_splash::s_splash::s_splash:

Re: weather??
 

was a bright start this morning now as im typing this, its suddenly become a bit dark:(.....more rain??
typical british weather eh?

Re: weather??
 

Geez ... just quit typing and everything will clear up ... it's that simple, I'm surprised you can't see ... must have Ossy blood in you.:eek:
