Re: weather??
 

My brother and his family are driving down to St.Ives in Cornwall. They set off last night at 10pm, hoping to miss the worst of the traffic.

They've just called now to say they are only near Bristol. Apparently parts of the M5 are under three feet of flood water. Traffic is being re-routed on to country lanes because it's so bad. They stopped at a service station, but so has everyone else, and the place has run out of food and drink.

The British summer, what a washout.:(

Re: weather??
 

What a nightmare for them garinda, hope that they finally get to where they are going not to stressed out and that they can enjoy their holiday.

Re: weather??
 

My dad , stepmum and my daughter set out for Devon yesterday evening; they were stuck on the M5 for 12 solid hours. They have finally got to Appledore now; it's a good job they had packed sandwiches and drinks.:(

They've just arrived now, and said it was chaos.:eek:

Re: weather??
 

Yesterday I did a favor for a sick friend of mine ... he needed someone to drive his taxi in order to pay his bills ... well, it's an almost new Impala, with good AC, so what the hell. I picked up a guy at the airport; he is a biologist at Queens U.; his speciality is the study of fragile lake environments in the Arctic and the high boreal. His studies of lake sediments have led him to draw some reasonable, yet scary info on global warming. The conversation got around to the weather in England and he told me that the heavy rainfall demonstrates the accuracy of predictions of the results of human activity on the precipitation rates in NW Europe. Just for the hell of it, I asked him how long the planet had before it became completely f**ked up. Ballpark figure, based on what he knows, and what he knows of related research: 30yrs. But he said that he would put his money on 20yrs. Interesting.

Re: weather??
 

I dont believe that any of it is due to Global Warming. Things like this have happened before: Ice Age anyone??

There was also something in the Mid Ages a bit like what we are experiencing now, and you didn't see them Jetting around the world, driving round in Range Rovers and spraying deodorant before they went out!! :p

I'm not saying that CO2 omissions don't help it along a bit, but I think even if we all drove round in Toyota Prius's this would still be happening!!

Re: weather??
 

Exactly thirty years ago was also a dreadful, wet summer, which followed the heatwave of 1976 the year before, just like we had last year.

I'll report back in 2037 if there is a thirty year pattern emerging here.:D

Re: weather??
 

And don't forget that in 1483 the Duke of Buckingham's rebellion against Richard lll was stopped in its tracks by the flooding of the Severn after days of torrential rain. This, no doubt, can be seen as proof positive that global warming is a charming fantasy created by wild-eyed lefty granola eaters.

How ironic that you guys suffer with too much rain and we suffer from not enough! Thankfully I don't get a water bill as I have a well. Have the water going ~3hours/day between landscaping and garden.

Hope you guys get the sunshine and warmth very soon.

Brian

Re: weather??
 

You guys should switch to metric ... the temps would go down immediately ... for example, today it is only 27 degrees here. And beware, I don't think the guys in Accy can handle "sunshine and warmth." Cold and damp is the way to go in Lancashire;)

Culpeper County named disaster area


Allison Brophy Champion
Staff writer
Friday, August 10, 2007

The U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Thursday declared seven Virginia counties, including Culpeper, primary natural disaster areas because of the sustained impact on farmers of drought and high temperatures.

The disaster designation makes farmers eligible for low-interest loans and any grants Congress may approve. Crop losses in Culpeper County are expected to total more than $1.5 million with some farmers losing more than 50 percent of their yield.

In addition, many farmers have been forced to buy hay and haul water to feed their cattle, as much of the county’s pastureland has not grown beyond a few inches in as many months.:(:(:(


Well, that somes things up pretty well for how the summer as gone. Thankfully, we have a strong, faithful, deep well which has saved most of my veges, fruits, landscaping and lawn area for croquet and badminton.

Had a nice long rain last night!

Brian

Re: weather??
 

This is how bad a summer we've had....:mad:

My neighbour gave me some sunflower seedlings. They are meant to grow between 6-10 foot tall, with the flowers measuring about ten inches diameter.

For months I've nurtured them. They've had a weekly feed. They've been watered on the very rare occasion it hasn't rained. Slugs and caterpillars have been picked off and killed, and they've been securely staked against the winds.

Today one of them flowered.

Hurrah!:)

Except it's the size of a bloomin' dandelion, and is only three feet tall.:mad:

I don't think it'll inspire any budding Van Goghs to get their paints and easel out.:D

Re: weather??
 

I couldn't attach it as a file because it was too big, the photograph not the flower.:D

Hopefully here's a link to the weedy thing.

Re: weather??
 

Pity, my sunflowers are great this year ... lots of feed for the birds and the squirells ...

Re: weather??
 

Mine may be small and weedy, but provided a tasty meal for a Wren this evening. I watched it in the drizzle, pecking away at the seeds for twenty minutes.:)

Re: weather??
 

You can't win them all, you have won two competitions this week don't be greedy!:p

Re: weather??
 

Oh no, I was glad it was pecking away.

It's welcome to the sunflower seeds...what few there are.:D

Re: weather??
 

Oh for a wren ... I have bluejays, beautiful birds, but they eat like a combine harvester:D

Re: weather??
 

I had a very good year with my Sunflowers. They got to about the sizes described by Rindy. Have attracted alot of yellow and blue finches.

As for bluejays, I find them to be nasty bullies. The baseball team from Toronto notwithstanding!:cool::p

Re: weather??
 

So that was it :( - summer? is over officially today -I'm not ready for Autumn yet. In January, I made what I thought was a canny move by buying a mobile airconditioning machine at a winter cut price of £200 - used it 2 days in May (Spring?), and it has just taken up space since. If we do get a hot summer next year it will have got rusty by then.

Re: weather??
 

Winter is on the way! Snowmobiling, four wheeling, x coutry skiing, and HOCKEY!!!!! It's still great here, temps around 20, sunny, cool evenings; but in Northern Ontario, esp north of Lake Superior around Pickle Lake, Sioux Lookout and Kapuskasing they have had snow, below zero temps, and wind chill warnings. A few weeks of fall beauty, when the maples turn into their amazing fall colors, and then winter ... can hardly wait.

Re: weather??
 

We are getting some pretty good weather at the moment, it is just that the nights are drawing in really quickly. At least we can put the heating on if it is to cold:D

Re: weather??
 

I am going to lay in a couple of cords of wood for the fire place; nothing like a roaring fire on a cold night. Winter is not all that bad; you just don't give in to it. Canadians are great winter survivors: it's going to come, it's going to get frigid and white, so we might as well enjoy it. And Hockey every night for the next seven or eight months.:D

It definitely felt colder this morning and certainly this evening.

Re: Mods, Please post for me!
 

Not me this time ... in southern Ontario we still have the southerly flow ... temps with the humidex around 30. Blame the guys in Saskatchewan and Manitoba, they are having the cool weather. And as far as wet goes, we have had only a little more than half of the usual summer rain. Our big concern is the low water levels in the Great Lakes. But we will be into milder (high teens) temps by the weekend, and, if the long range forecast holds, we will have single digit highs by the second week in October.

But the leaves are turning and the show is just as beautiful as it always is. My two Maples are turning, a nice contrast to the big Elm I have.

Best wishes from paradise.:D

There are 2 large trees in my lounge window view - sycamore and norwegian maple. The sycamore always hibernates first - has about 10% yellow leaves already and a few have fallen (on my car :( )

Re: weather??
 

Leaves falling on the car is not bad ... in the great ice storm of '99 a whole bloody tree fell on my car:eek:

Re: weather??
 

They say that due to the severity of our drought that the foliage will be really off this year. I guess it just will help us appreciate it the next time they show in all their brilliance!

Except for the continual heavy sweat through "winterous" chores, this has become of some intrigue. Still harvesting alot of veges that should been long gone, the chicks and guineas are still feasting on insects, have got to finish some spring projects. In other words, these weather reports truly aren't meant to be whinges, more accurately, just weather reports from across the pond!:cool::p

Re: weather??
 

32 is not "cooling down"! We have had a week of much higher than normal temps, but today it looks like 17 for a high, with some rain, and the weekend, uniformly nice: 20 for a high, low teens at night and clear. But it seems as if the real fall weather will not arrive until the end of the first week of October. Watched a show the other night on what is happening in the high Arctic, scarey. Don't expect too many cold northerly flows this winter. But maybe that's a good thing.

Re: weather??
 

You mean I've been killing myself in this heat cutting, splitting, stacking firewood for naught. I'm hoping for a nice long cold winter. I love it when all of life seems to slow down with the snow storms and all!

Re: weather??
 

I spent the evening visiting friends and munching on cabernet and shiraz grapes directly from the vines (leaving the stems on the vine, ) and picking/harvesting Avocados and Pomegranates , a sure sign fall/autumn is on its way

just a tip, Pomegranate juice is the best meat tenderizer there is for game meat , deer/elk/pig/bear/wild turkey etc. , (think its mentioned in the Bible), and know for a fact that the Bedu use it for tenderizing camel and goat meat , just make sure you use only the juice, not the pith or the pits ;) ;)

Re: weather??
 

And the chances of a white Christmas here ... looks like a 100% deal ... we've already had quite a bit of snow ... unfortunately it looks like the temp will warm a little by monday, and with some rain in the forecast the snow will be gone. Montreal has already had major snowfalls. But they always get it. They spend over $600 million a year on snow removal. We had our first little blizzard last friday; the 401, the major freeway running just north of town, was closed for a while and our local snowplows were buzzing around for most of the night.

But Christmas without snow just isn't Christmas.
