weather??

Nope, I wouldn't be so bad if there was just a smidgin of light. I do not mind it cold if the sky is blue and it is light.
But over the last few days it has never been light enough to do without the lights on......does my box in. It really does.

You would not like it down here mate,41&42 degrees this weekend,Finland sounds more to your liking.

10c here today ... and that's on the plus side:eek: No snow for Christmas; and tomorrow forecasting 14c! This has been one weird "winter." Still, a hot scotch goes down well.:D
 
Christmas Day forecast in South Australia - should hit 37 degrees, strong winds - possibility of rain. Not the best of days weather-wise but what the heck....

Much cooler Boxing Day, in the 20's.
 
The forecasters reckon New York is going to break records by having it's warmest Christmas on record @ 55deg F.
 
Why are folk humanising the weather?
"Barney","Steve" and now "Imogen" these are some of the names put forward for our recent weather conditions.
It may just be me,but there does seem to be more "storms" since they started naming the ruddy things.
To be quite Frank,I've had more than my Phil of this wet weather.
The wind isn't constant but the gusts are frightening,it's put a dampener on my day...


...The Met office have come up with a "name our storms" project if anyone has a suggestion.

Gusty Gordon,windy Whizz,lightening Less,damp gusset Dave,mesoscale Margaret and wet shower explorer are all names I Imogen won't make it to the short list.
 
I don't like the naming of storms either. Maybe because it is something the Yanks do.
I was supposed to be taking Ma for her diabetic review today, but I very gently suggested that it was a day where she might end up blown away, wet through and chilled to the marrow.
So we didn't go. It isn't sensible to venture out into inclement weather unless you absolutely have to.
As for Mesoscale Margaret...well I would have preferred meteoric, but ah well..if I have to be middling, then so be it.
 
Record high temperatures are contributing to a massive forest fire in Fort McMurray Northern B.C. has made 80,000 people flee their homes, never seen anything like it, houses are shells, trucks and cars just shells, my daughter who works in an oil camp there just phoned to say they are just being bused to Edmonton. It,s like watching a movie seeing all the vehicles driving through the burning forests, very scary and no rain forcast until Monday. Thankfully no injuries though.

Those poor folks in Alberta are having a rough time of it with that freaky weather ... and they had that massive flooding back in '13. Weather out on the prairies and areas up toward the shield can be real scary. All we can hope for is that the fire will burn itself out, and that nobody will be hurt. Canadian firefighters and emergency response teams are world class. And we are lucky in the sense that the damage will be limited to property

Down here around the Great Lakes weather has been cool, damp and miserable ... kinda like the Clayton weather I remember...

I know what you mean about "watching a movie" ... more and more of the world's weather seems like something out of a disaster movie ...

I hope everyone stays safe.
Houses and trucks can be replaced...those we love cannot.

We have been in Australia when they have had forest fires(firestorms) and seen the devastation they cause.
Strangely though, communities seem to rally together and be made stronger by such adversity.
My thoughts are with all those who are affected.
Man likes to feel he has control, but in truth Mother nature will always have the last word.
