Just saying' like. we have never seen the likes of the weather here recently. big storms that just won't die away and just when you think they are gone they come back and bite ya. Hopefully some bright calm weather will settle in shortly. In the mean time, wrap up warm and take care of yourselves. Sometimes I think bright calm weather doesn't appreciate how much we all love it for what it is and has to repeatedly develop into a deep violent depression to make us take notice, get our attention. Sad.

Just be the despised one, in California we are having unusually high temperatures and already have an extreme drought warning in place (about 9 months earlier than we would usually have these). Almost no rain this winter when we normally get all ours. :-\
So in short send us your rain...
-
It never stops raining here and would you believe they are going it introduce water charges. Tax tax and more tax.
We should set up a trade agreement. I'll give you water and you give sunshine
-
Weather here, in northern England, today, was just the usual wet, dull and shitty stuff...
But yesterday lunchtime... f-ing mental! High force winds with massive crashing hailstones... PLUS dazzling fork-lightning and window-rattling thunder, all at the same time!
:D
-
Our forecast is for a week of storms just like you described. I always feel there is a deep affinity between Ireland and North Wales all the way up past Newcastle. Maybe it's that prevailing winds carry us in the air to fall over you lot or something.
-
Wet and grey.
:(
-
in the meantime the wet and grey weather today is apparently the best we are going to have for a while. rain, sleet, snow, wind coming over the next few days. feels like the irish summer might have arrived early.
-
Oh man, it's been BRUTALLY cold for the past 2 weeks here. There's a "polar vortex" that has sat over a big part of the US with temps wayyy below the norm. Today has been the first day it got above freezing. "Normal" for us right now is about 40F during the day. It hasn't been higher than 20F and dipping well below 0F at night. It's not as bad as some places but still. Not fun at all.
Fingers crossed thai it is finally on its way out.
-
Manchester (UK not NH) is wet, grey and cold. As it is most of the time :)
-
sounds rough brian but its fair to say you guys are geared up for that weather.
danny, i reckon whatever manchester gets travels straight up over here in wickow ireland on its way. wind, rain, and particularly cold at the moment
not sure if this works as an image but here goes. thats ireland under the blue bit lol. its been like that for months.

If some rock band doesn't take "POLAR VORTEX" as their name I'm gonna start a band and name it that.
-

-
Very windy in Notts tonight.
-
wet n windy in west wales tonight but not as bad as the other week.thoughts with all those people with flooded homes
-
Manchester (UK not NH) is wet, grey and cold. As it is most of the time :)
As previous post :)
Although it sunshine for around an hour this morning!
-
65 F and sunny in Nashville. Rain/Snow mix tomorrow, though. Been a cold/wet winter for us.
Blink - I'm hearing some horrible stuff coming out of the drought you guys are having. Farmers seem to have already given up the year before it's started.
-
Lovely summer's day here in New Zealand. Blue sky and 25 degrees and the sun is slowly setting over the islands in the bay.
Should I rub it in some more? :)
-
Everyone is the UK currently hates you, Johnz...
;D
-
we had it rough yesterday here
and its to get really rough tonight. national alert level and to go on for a week more or less. annoying since I have to travel to London on Tuesday and I don't trust airplanes at the best of times
what part of new Zealand is that johnz?
I was in Auckland a few years back. it you are talking about the view there then you are one lucky bloke
-

You're welcome! ;D
-
what part of new Zealand is that johnz?
I was in Auckland a few years back. it you are talking about the view there then you are one lucky bloke
I live up in the Bay of Islands, about 3 hours north of Auckland. I grew up in Bremen and Leeds but have been out here almost 20 years. I still appreciate the beauty here every day.
-
cool. it certainly is beautiful. but such a safe feeling place as well.
-
so the wind and rain is relentless
had to fly from london to dublin last night and it was the roughest flight i have ever been on. and i have flown all over the place frequently. sickening for some. i just resign myself to fact that very time i get on one of those things, f something goes wrong then it really does go wrong
then wake up this morning to half a tree having broken on my garden and its blocking the lane next to my house. trying to find someone in this terrible weather to sort it out with me is a not going well either.
i a searching hard for the silver lining on this cloud......
-
Manchester is still grey but now has rain and very strong winds :(
-
We're in the middle of a full blown blizzard here in colonial Boston. I was shoveling the drive to the blasting loud sounds of "dog and wolf". Made a dreary job tolerable.
-
V wet and windy.
Some of my garden fence ran away in the night.
Prolly gone to live with johnz !
:o
-
I'm just over six feet tall, weighing in at about 15 stone and I swear, the wind nearly knocked me on my arse at one point today...
It's settled down to merely freezing, wet and shitty but reports say it's gonna get a hell of a lot worse in a couple of days...
-
where do you live ray?
-
A crappy town in South Cheshire, UK.
-
i could forecast your weather and you could become a celebrity weather forecaster and make loads of money for nothing
its going to be wet and windy
forever
-
Cheers, Heno. :D
-
tune in tomorrow for more of the same
-
so ray, be sure, there is some nasty wind and rain coming your way man
its here right now. i'm sitting in a conservatory at the end of the kitchen and the rain is so heavy that i am waiting for the bass line to kick in any time now
-
Cheers, Heno, gotta batten down the hatches now!
it was a bit bad a few days ago and my TV aeriel blew down so I have no TV reception now... and I don't miss it one bit! If there's something I really need to watch, I can do it via the internet and I find I'm watching a lot less shit, just to fill the time as I used to!
Now, how to turn that into an excuse to stop paying my TV licence... ;)
-
we are about to get the worst wet and windy weather in 15 years here
i'll blow a big giant kiss into the wind
all of manchester will be made up

sad story really :-[

Finally some real rain here in Northern California. Up to 6 inches in some areas today!
Weather scientists (yes they are real!) said we need the same rain every other day until May to get over our drought! Really bad situation her and my family in Ireland are really considering an export business to us now with the storm they are having. :-\
-

Blink - I'm hearing some horrible stuff coming out of the drought you guys are having. Farmers seem to have already given up the year before it's started.
Yeah Szmurf, fruits and veg are going to get really really expensive this year. Farmers are making a decision between watering their fruit trees/vines or planting seasonal crops - if they don't water their annual vegetation like almond and fruite trees and grapes they are gone for years. It is worse for the animal farmers as they have no feed/water. Lots of dairy cows being sold as beef now. As a veggie it is hard to see the slaughter en masse. There are already water restrictions in place in a lot of areas and some major towns have less than 100 days of water left and they have been today the state cannot help out this year with water being shipped it. Sad.
For an idea of the size issue, the graphics are unbelievable:

its rotten here. as dreary and wet and windy as it could be. my poor bird got up early to go to the market and sell the doggie beds she makes. really brave and committed to go out that day. i got up to help. think i'll just toddle back to the land of nod. don't any tell her......
and why don't rich californian farmers move their farms to ireland. i am sure some of their crops would thrive in this moderate mid atlantic climate
-
Very windy in Notts this afternoon.
-
eye of the storm here i reckon
went to the pub
met clive. a few beers. the world felt a little brighter
-
Cold and very windy here in Blyton, Lincolnshire.
Got the fire roaring away and waiting for Match of the Day to start.
Missus is sat here feeding the dog wasabi peanuts :) :)
-
nice man
doesn't the dogs belly disagree with that stuff?
-
I'll find out in the morning :)
-
haha
-
someone like jesus
hey
as good as it gets
-
its a bright clear dry day here
which is good since a mate of mine is getting buried today. he was the one that used to bring us fishing in a boat years ago. i hate when funerals take place in lousy weather. i don't like funerals at all. don't even go to them in the most part.
-
Sorry about your friend. sad news.
It was beautiful out today here in Boston. My christmas tree is sitting on my back porch covered in snow. It looked lonely so I hung a bright red ornament on it. Looks kinda cool now.
-
Its all cool. He was sick for a good while and his life was fishing and drinking so in some ways sweet release.
and the weather here is ridiculous. its appears to have woken up and decided its winter all over again.
trying to confirm details for trip the Dubai and Johannesburg starting on Saturday for 9 days. bit of a pain to arrange at such short notice but hopefully it will all come together.
-
Grey all day in Manchester then bloody hail stones on my way home from work!
-
yeah. its grey here and its all heading in your direction
-
bye ek it's windy !!!
Anyone lost any tiles or fence panels yet ?
-
Well, it hit today! It's mental out there. Windows rattling, heavy things clattering downwards from the roof and if I dare to open a window, doors start slamming almost hard enough to break them! Plus the lights have started flickering on occasion, so the potential for a power-out is there... I'm also getting FB messages that a few trees are going down in the nearby vicinity...
I think that Mother Nature is getting a bit pissed off with us lowly mortals... can't blame her.
-
It's the same here Master Ray.
Woman round the corner has had a tree go through the front of her house.
It's calming down a bit now but it's still very noisy and windy.
-
rotten weather all day here. supposed to continue tonight.
flying to johannesburg in the morning at 8am. valentines night will be cut short. should catch the late fa cup game tomorrow evening in abu dhabi and the one on sunday down in johannesburg
if nothing else i will post from as far away
-
Wet and windy in Manchester again. Noticed loads of trees down in Southern Cemetery on the way home from work that didn't appear to be down this morning?
-
in Johannesburg
27 degrees today. man I don't like weather that's too warm
travelled for 24 hours solid and didn't an hour's sleep. didn't drink except a glass of wine with food. done a serious amount of work.
started the wheel of time and think I am going too get lost in it. well not lost precisely. more escape in it
-
Lovely day here in South Cheshire! Not very cold, blinding sunshine and that howling wind of the last few days has reduced to a minor breeze... I even went for a little walk earlier!
:)

Same in Manchester Ray... I'm nervous about tomorrow now!

Weather-wise, it's been a mixed bag - a month ago I was in Australia, with 35+ (C) degree heat. Then to Vegas, where it was mild (max 15-18deg, lows of 4 or 5), then to New York, where it rarely got above freezing. Now back here, where it seems we need to build an ark. ;)
-
what were you travelling for?
25 degrees and the sun bursting. too hot outside for me. just as well I'm here for work.
watched an excellent series on the way down here. it was a bbc documentary about Arabia and its wildlife. it is incredible what evolution has done to ensure that those that mutate survive.

Wedding and honeymoon! Wedding in Australia (I'm from there), honeymoon in the States and back home to the UK.
I'm not much of a fan of hot weather, either. Maybe that's why I left Australia in the first place!
-
i've been to oz a few times. i'm not sure any of the colonialists are made for that weather
should all move back to a housing estate in manchester
-
Well, it definitely doesn't suit me, despite having spent my first 25 years there...
-
we went to a wedding on the paddle steamer on the river in brisbane. hottest day ever. having a beer with a couple of the locals and asked how do they cope and they said they didn't. some of them were like 4th generation and none of them could cope.
-
Manchester is still grey but a lot warmer today. But not as warm as Oz!
-
Normally it's approximately -20 celsius here and 50-70 cm snow everywhere in the mid winter. But now it's just raining water and +3 celsius. Well it's more comfortable than normally but have to say it's totally weird times we have now. Water's nearly everywhere.
Last autumn there were 5 lesser storm winds between November and December. It was only short time that we had the normal 2 weeks period in January with -15c and -20c degrees. But there wasn't snow more than only 2 cm:s which meant that active layer of frost was very deep (it gets to 2 meters deep once in 30 years).
Active layer and frost is good to the tree roots of conifereous woods we have here. The woods have get used to extreme cold during thousands of years at these latitudes. Now when the weather's so messed up with all that global warming things seem to get upside down here. Foreign species of plants and animals arrive more often.
Strange times...

Yep, it's a nightmare. I have family near Brisbane and they pretty much stay inside with the air conditioner, or swim in the pool. I'm from much further south, and we were lucky with the weather as it'd been 40 deg the previous week!

yep and so do all the new pests/diseases/pathogens: Here in the UK it's not just Ash trees. Currently there are restrictions on import/movement of Sweet Chestnut and Plane trees as well as the spread of Sudden Oak Death
-
Sudden Oak Death
Dont like the sound of that. Is it a new goth band ? ;D
-
Dont like the sound of that. Is it a new goth band ? ;D
Should be! Did you read about the American pacifist nun who along with a couple of other elderly people broke into a nuclear facility? The report I read described her as "The Nuclear Nun" - now that's a band name ;D

yeah. house to car to shopping mall. all aircon.
the place that got me most for summer heat was Geneva. but since half the shops sell chocolate we would run in there for a while to cool down
-
Anna, that sounds bad.
May I ask are you working or something in a gardening career or do some ecological investigation?
Maybe Sudden Oak Death are touring with the grind band Ash Trees at the Sweet Chestnut! I saw them at Pests & Panthogens festival! :o
-
man, I saw anthrax once
worst experience of my life
-
so i'm back on the auld sod and none the better for it. rain, wind, cold. nothing new there.
flight back was a little bumpy. didn't sleep. 24 hours on the road again.
-

You`re in Australia, right? I guess the distances are, eh somewhat long there? :)
I used to know an Australian couple who lived in Finland long time ago, before they moved back there.
I think they live now near to Wollongong or Melbourne.
-
I was in South Africa returning to Ireland via Abu Dhabi
I've been to Brisbane a couple of times
-
Ok, Ireland... Maybe I just remembered that Brisbane thing. Cheers.

The bad probably comes from the cumulative effects and the vulnerability of species to new/adapted pathogens & pests.
Yes - I'm a Commercial Landscape Manager
Nice festival 8)

picked up here a little after a terrible night
in other news, i got back from south africa on monday. been working flat out since for corporate investment. our son luke was 18 on wednesday. he went to london for three days yesterday. i was on my way back from dropping him off to the airport and passed an ambulance on the way back. found out my aged Da was in the back heading to hospital with acute pneumonia. i worked until 2am this morning and was back up at half six for critical investor presentations. finish at 6pm and then head up to hospital. my bird is hardly talking to me.
i could actually add my own personal verse to 225
and i swear, we never asked for any of this
and if anyone says that new model army don't talk to you then they should have their head examined

As an Aussie expat, I can confirm that not only does it take a bloody long time to get there from this side of the world, it takes a bloody long time to get anywhere within Australia. My family are in the ACT and I lived in Perth for a little while, and it was a six hour flight to get home. Needless to say, I didn't get home very often. :(
Australia's a nice place, but there are limits.
-
i agree, its stunning
house of cards us
unreal

Actually now the weather`s been quite nice last week. Only -1 celsius and sun shining. It hasn´t rained at all. That's what I like with spring when there`s much more light and nature wakes up very slowly. Birds get active and start to build their nests. Humidity is not so high, just enough for the plants to grow up.
As I recently told here about minus degrees and what kind of winter we should have here, there`s an interesting point with a "normal" winter, that the air humidity is very low when temperature drops to minus. Air is dry if there`s -20 celsius and snow. It`s not the snow you could mould in your hands.
I`ll check if I can find some winter video to you here...
Ok, this youtube video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=BmPc_scVZvo#t=0) was filmed in Nilsiä in 2011. It`s not the area where we live but 600km:s to north.
Winter is normally similar around here in south coastal areas too. (My roots are actually from Nilsiä from my father`s side...)
-
Wow Rusco,
they almost take on a human shape,
the ultimate "Trees in Winter"
-
weather is cold tonight but the mild temperate air stream returns tomorrow
tough day today. not sure why but it didn't feel good. awkward weekend too. hospitals, airports, man city winning things, sick wife.
i'll be glad when this week is half over at least. although huge meeting on Thursday that I have to be in shape for.
not sure whats happening in Ukraine. nearly time we had a thread about it
-
, this youtube video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=BmPc_scVZvo#t=0)
Absolutely gorgeous - thanks for that. Of course your winters are what makes your timber so good. Compare the growth rings of a tree from Finland to one from a fast and long growing season country. Then ask a carpenter which wood is best. So if the winters change............... no, there's nothing wrong here, nothing at all.
:(
-
man, gandalf got a raw deal in lotr
-
so, yeah. the weather here is stunning. And I mean cool, calm and crisp. With warm sunshine each day. Spring is certainly in the air probably best evidenced by Arsenal's seasonal implosion.
So how is it where you are now?
-
The weather is bright n sunny here in the west of Scotland for the 2nd day in a row and fairly hot considering it the middle of march
-
Foggy.
-
Just heard some forecasts for the next weekend. Headlines scream it's going to be -20 again and a total snow chaos. Well, that's headlines you know... It's probably -5 degree celsius and 5-10 cm:s snow which is going to melt away in half week or so. *sigh* It has been so nice weather until this. But there's always, always a post-winter before it's wise to change summer tires to your car.
On the other hand I heard that Spring is 3 weeks earlier than normally.

I wouldn't put too much faith in what the UK newspapers say. If a certain redtop tabloid is to be believed, we're all going to be murdered by killer spiders over the next month.

In the imagination of newspaper editors intent on drumming up hysteria in the minds of people too simple or distracted to figure out what BS it is, apparently... (and if it ain't the spiders, it's gonna be the folks from Romania or Poland or, I dunno, who are we supposed to be hating on this week? I get confused...) :-\
On the bright side, if one of these spiders bites you, you might get superpowers and end up in a Hollywood movie so, every cloud and that...

Preparing for cyclone Lusi to hit within the next 12 hours. Never much fun when you live on a boat. Hoping that it will change course.

Yes, all good thanks. A bit of a sleepless night but the worst of it seems to have gone through. Nothing too major. Power is out in town, a few slips and trees down and a few boats broke their moorings but no one got hurt. Time to catch up on some sleep.
-
good to hear man
-
so the weather here is changeable. but that's ok. my b'day today. feeling the love. and devils bit
-
It's your birthday? Big b-day wishes to you, mate.
Another year of wisdom and experience that brings you THAT bit closer to the ultimate realisation of what life is TRULY about...
or, alternatively, you're just getting very old and, quite frankly, it's all downhill from here...
;D
Whatever, mate, hope you had a nice day.
-
cheers bro.
someone said earlier that I am on the downslope of the roller coaster of life and that is where the best bits are
not sure how I feel about that
-
Happy B-day Heno :)
-
Happy Birthday to you. :)
-
ahhh
thanks guys
makes me feel even better
-
Bloody hell, the weather where I am just went batshit crazy...
It's bloody cold, but in the last 20 minutes we have driving wind, torrential rain (with a bit of sleet in it) and both dazzling fork lightning and the loudest thunder I've heard in ages...
Quite frankly, I'm just waiting for the Four Horsemen to show up...
:o
-
yes. we've just had a squall here that would shiver yer timbers
-
Well, it's calmed down now, but jeez, that was a bit mental...
-
anyway, a few pics of wicklow on what was a stunning spring day at the centre of the universe

by the way. i can spell. its just sometimes the autocorrect on this mac kicks in and i press post without realising
-
weather is calm and dry and bright. a little cool. garden tomorrow. going to bust a nut. not looking forward to the grass though. there is a lot of poop hidden in the long grass.......think i might need to drink a few tonight and have that determined get it over with head on me tomorrow
-
Raining. Winter's over here too. Last piece of snow I've seen, melted last week. At mid days it's 11 celsius warm, at nights -4. If winter had been normal it would be this warm at the end of April.
Welcome summer!
-
Warm and sunny for the last few days.
I sat in the garden in me shorts and vest for a while !
I think I've washed nearly everything in the house buy using the launderette or my dodgy machine. The parts I ordered have arrived now, so I have to be brave and try and fit them now. Wish me luck !!
-
use a spell on it
-
Wezzy, if you can get your fela to log of twitter for an hour, he can give you a hand ::)
-
well despite all my prayers to just about every deity i know (yes, Justin, Sturgeon and Jello are in there), it didn't rain overnight and the grass is so long and thick that I am going to have to hire to get it to a manageable height. this is going to be a looooooooooonnng day
-
use a spell on it
Might have to !
Wezzy, if you can get your fela to log of twitter for an hour, he can give you a hand ::)
He's been up in that there London since Thursday and wouldn't have a clue anyhoo !
I've got the parts and they don't look too scary, plus I've seen a couple of DIY vidjos on U Tube (not for my machine though) and it looks kinda ok . I'll give it a go and if it goes belly up I've got a lovely friend who has a very lovely husband who might help me out.
I thought I might as well try to replace the dodgy parts (£40) instead of forking out £300 for another machine.
Mend and make do !
:) :)

Show it who's boss Wezzy. Don't fall for any of the crap about women can't use tools and fix things. Whack it with yer hammer :D

jaysus, weird stuff.
i told you my Dad was in hospital. he was there for about 2 weeks and got out on Thursday. he'd been passing blood but it all seemed to resolve itself.
this morning at 4am he was brought to hospital again. this time he was coughing up blood. sometimes it just kicks you out of the blue, when you are least expecting it
-
wicklow harbour, this evening. the weather speaks for itself. its the general climate that sucks

-
so weather wise we are having an early summer
-
nice and mild with showers
i wonder what the summer is going to be like? el nino is starting to act funny and that means a deluge. but if it goes the other way it means a drought.
-
Oak before Ash - in for a splash, Ash before Oak - in for a soak. Ain't no Ash leaves properly out here in Kent yet, Oaks are looking lovely and green tho'..................... probably all bollocks mind
:-*
-
hey Anna, what if its a late coming weeping ash lie this one in our garden? its nearly always june before it starts and can have leave up to christmas

-
stunning and getting better. man, its gonna be a once weekend too. about time
-
Heno - if that Ash leafs in June then if the old saying is true then surely that there Ireland has a scorching summer every year :P
Who's that little fella chilling under the tree?
-
we are having the most stunning weather here and the tree is coming to life. just overnight it has gained leaves. i'll get a pic tomorrow and post.
the little guy is just keeping my seat warm for when i get older......
-
Keep sending that weather over the water Heno, first decent day of the year here, if a bit overcast in the afternoon. Weekend set to be better :)
-
i will shush, and all the good will and positive thinking to shower down on everyone northeast of here.
and anyway, back to the tree. earlier than most years, she is starting to come a little. if i read Anna's comments correctly then this is not a good sign, in fact it may well be that it is going to lash. for months and months.
164 year old tree. here as long at the house. still strong but probably needs some major surgery if it going to survive. there are only two of its type in ireland. thats one more then my type!!!
oh, and should've done the grass today. but my back is knackered.

Good sunshine has arrived nicely Sir. First time we have sat at the top of the garden this year :)
-
A lovely day today here in South Cheshire... on the same day that my folks went to Italy, in search of good weather... apparently, temperatures over there are dropping...
:-\
-
Lovely here again today.
Yesterday it was too hot to mow the lawn so I sat on my arse and read my book in the garden.
:)

[...] and anyway, back to the tree. earlier than most years, she is starting to come a little. if i read Anna's comments correctly then this is not a good sign, in fact it may well be that it is going to lash. for months and months.
That's a beautiful, old tree you post photos, Heno. I think Anna posted a message here earlier about tree diseases and mentioned the ash tree and some other (gothic sounding) names for them. We had in our earlier place a very old oak too which seemed to suffer at times about a loss of water.
It's interesting how different oaks are compared to other trees. Their veins are so large that they could absorb even sand inside the veins. Once a carpenter told me that you have to resharpen a circular saw blade after sawing an oak trunk (even though the blade had been sharpened before it) and at times you could see even sparks coming out the trunk while sawing.
The weather's just fine here now. Very beautiful and 25 degrees in mid-day. I've been spading our courtyard last week or so. Yeah, sweaty work it is. ;)
-
Well, today it was a lovely day, but right now I've got loud thunder and torrential hailstones...
Dammit, weather is fucked up right now!
-
too true ray. not sure what its going to do next. warm and damp and cold and bright and windy and dull
-
and i've only gone and aggravated the nerve in my owed back. my leg is killing me. chop it off time nearly.
i can't handle this right now. there is nothing worse than this pain. although maybe there is, its just i've yet to experience it. and never want to either.
you know one of those pains where you sob to yourself and talk to yourself and even appeal to the weirdest things for help.....well, multiply that by 50 million times and start there.
:o :( >:( :-[ :-X :-\ :'(

Sounds like you and Shush should have a conversation, he has severe tendonitis and a broken ankle...
I, on the other hand, have mild sciatica and some backache that might be psychosomatic...
-
well, i need a friend, a real friend. one that will, upon my request, chop my right leg off.
Ray and Shush, you guys are in pole position. I think Rusco has what it takes. and then somehow I think Anna could do it. the rest can either supply copious amounts of devils bit slow release pain killers and some homely, not so motherly, nursing.

Well, it's official, fellow NMA Forum-ites, we're all taking a trip over the Irish sea to chop Heno's leg off.
Now THERE'S a concept that's never been uttered on this Forum before...
;D
-
just make sure you get the right leg Ray.
-
The one in the middle isn't it ?
-
MISSED BOTH MY LEGS!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rc9BGSsU_ZU
Sorry, couldn't resist...
;D
-
ok lads, thats it, cancel the amputation. lets go for a communal lobotomy
-
Good Grief - stay away from here for a days and you chaps are up for cutting each others bits off (Thought that was my domain ;D) Did you all enjoy playing Doctors & Nurses when you were running about in short trousers? Not really funny all these ailments but it is kinda' funny when you think we talk about moshing in a pit but then we're all starting to fade and it sounds like a OAP's Doctors surgery he he he.... seriously tho' you take care of yourselves now.
Hey Heno - you got it round the wrong way if the oaks are out first supposed to be good summer.
:-*
-
ok, well the tree is early and its raining every day for the foreseeable future. so i think we can rely on that saying.
i even like playing doctors and nurses these days
-
How do you look in your nurses outfit Heno ?
-
hahahahaha
quiet good now that i've started to fill out on top

Aah you've had some serious pain there. Sounds bad (and now Shush too broke his leg, right?)... You know, by saying that I would have something "what it takes" I'll tell you; although I've a collection of petrol and electrical machines here ;D and I may look like an ugly cave troll ;D but would rather piss in my pants and wouldn't never hurt anyone really. :-*
-
cave trolls
now i'm gonna have to watch some lord of the rings
-
cave trolls
Yes? I'm listening. ;D
Hope you get your legs fixed you both.
-
Or listen to Bo Hansson - Lord of the rings ;D

The Weather is humid and hot as shit. So much so that my door is swollen shut and i had to get a hammer to get it open. I have to do all my running/biking and physical activity at five in the morning so i don't pass out and die due to heat. Advice- Never move to the south-east us unless you like hurricanes, insects and severe heat/humidity. It's a hell hole. A wonderful tropical storm/ possibly hurricane may be on it's way as well.
-
south east of america?
-
so our weather has been brilliant for a while now. Looks like it will change a little over the next short while but we have enjoyed it whiles it here.
Here is an image of the fireworks that took place at the weekend to signal the start of the Round Ireland Race.
enjoy

Another sunny day here in the west of Scotland What's happing better lap it while we can
-
Hot and humid. You could probably even cook breakfast on nothing but the pavement. ;D
-
Gorgeous, just gorgeous x
-
It's also a lovely day here in South Cheshire.
-
Hot and now about a thousand or so honey bees decided a tree right out side of my door is the perfect place for them to swarm. About three of them decided that my car would be a nice place to live as well. I am all for saving the bees but and I know they don't intentionally want to harm people but hundreds of bee stings don't sound very pleasant. I am hoping it just rains and scares them off because I don't want to have to kill them. Plus I was attacked as a toddler by bees so it brings back some horrible first memories.
-
looks like a story where it could end up with a sting in the tail
so my mates mam died late last night. bit of chaos around here for a few days. playing supporting role which is OK. prefer that to be being centre stage.
the weather broke yesterday and it appears to be unsettled for the foreseeable future. so its goodbye summer and hello rest of year.....
-
The weather today where I am? Bloody hot, dense and close, feels like even breathing is a bit of an effort... would be nice if I had windows that could open wide but, no, my outdated old flat only has windows that open a few inches...
So, a big fan blasting out cold air that would help me sleep... :D nope, I had one but it packed up a few hours ago... >:(
So, I'm currently sweating like a South African paraplegic athlete in court... :o
(Hey, at least I can still make jokes...)
-
Just had some lovely lightning bolts here in the East Mids, now started to rain thankfully. Hopefully it will cool things down a bit
-
If it starts raining and I'm still awake, I'm throwing on whatever clothes come to hand and going for a wander in the raindrops!
-
well, did it happen ray?
-
well, did it happen ray?
It did, mate, and it felt heavenly.
Still couldn't get to sleep though, so I'm getting towards 48 hours without sleep... if I post some utter bollocks later on, that's the insomnia!
(big chorus from other forumites saying how will we be able to tell any difference..? ) ;)
-
so what can you do with insomnia? you don't drink when you're like that do you?
-
so what can you do with insomnia? you don't drink when you're like that do you?
What can you do with insomnia? Not very much. Drinking heavily helps in the short term... in the long term, not so much. Likewise sleeping pills... horrendously addictive and, IMO, best avoided. Trust me, I speak from experience.
Hoping to crash out in the next hour or two, my eyelids are getting pleasantly droopy... :)
-
good for you.
-
ZZZZZZZZz
-
Thankfully, my weather today has gone from HOT AND MUGGY AND TRULY ANNOYING to VERY RAINY!! !
And I bloody love it... went for a walk on my way to get a pizza in shorts, trainers and a T-shirt in chilly heavy rain... felt like I could breathe properly for the first time in days...
Summer rain is awesome!!!!
:D
-
haven't had a beer for 3 weeks
and not even looking for one
i dunno
this is weird
wonder what addiction will take me over next
hope its work so i can get this project finished
this is weird folks, real weird. like probably haven't stopped drinking or more than three days since i was mid teens
and now this
-
so anyway, weather is ok, life is pain since we are living the laws.
who knows what tomorrow brings, maybe another day
-
Weather is good in sunny Ayrshire today just the right temperature for me
I'm in a good place managed to win the Here comes the war logo 1993 European tour t shirt on ebay which meant a lot as i was at the Glasgow barrowlands gig with a good mate who is no longer with us and its awesome looking t shirt as well
-
Weird weather today... two o clock in the afternoon and one half of the sky is all sunny and shit and then a big black cloud comes over, bringing big loud thunder and torrential rain that furiously splatters on the pavements outside my home (not to mention the occasional big bad thunderflash in the sky)...
... yet it's all nice and calm and sweet half an hour after that...? :(
-
we got some seriously dirty weather on its way here. time to chill out, play some music and kill a few orcs and dragons
but isn't it great that we all persevered through the toughest times on this board and satisfying that when you visit there are so many diverse topics with new posts
happy as a pig in shit - not to be taken literally ray and shush
-
hey anna
did you go to your festival on your tod?
-
its been a cold and dreary week in the most part
or fresh and irish compared to the exotic summer we've just had
-

It's been mostly the same here. We actually had a 34 days of freaky hot sun and raining only twice that time. Well, now it's been raining one week and only today 50mm:s, which is a hell lot. Autumn...

Hell, Witch, us here in the UK are on the cusp of Summer and Autumn... we have absolutely no ******* idea what the weather is going to do!!!!
Put it like this... I went out to do a bit of shopping roundabout 9am this morning, it was so bloody cold... so I stuck on a jumper when I went out to buy a few beers at 4pm... and I was sweating like anything by the time I got back home, thanks to the total change in weather! Shit got very warm after being so cold earlier!! :o
Who knows what will happen on Monday...? :o
-
Thank you very much for your reply :)
-
look forward to meeting you next week , witch. :)
-
Thank you very much for your reply :)
Um, I wasn't being sarcastic or anything, genuinely joking... :-\
-
dull and dreary, sort of brings the atmosphere for the game at turf moor alive
-
september 1st, the slow beautiful slide into winter. we're getting 22 to 24 degrees this week. hope winter turns crisp
-
A GORGEOUS day today! A hot sun but with a nice breeze to balance it out. And the trees are starting to turn brown and pretty...
Autumn is deffo my favourite season...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cb8M81bHVko

-
30 degrees and muggy. This is the hottest it's been all summer and I've just started work again >:( It'll be worse next week when the classrooms fill up with sweaty teenagers :'(
-
september 1st, the slow beautiful slide into winter. we're getting 22 to 24 degrees this week. hope winter turns crisp
It's 8 to 14 here at mid days. 4-8 at nights. I wish a crispy winter too. Better if it starts on late October and lasts until start of April. -7 to -20 minus please. :)
-
i like that idea of extreme to extreme. i'm envious of you
here we have a mini heatwave of 22 to 23 degrees and all the flies have decide its the start of summer all over again
big L is in the garden, little L is back in school and I am working day and night on a deal
-
certainly autumn
nice though
-
bright and chill, dry too
-
A really nice late summer/ early autumn day here just having a chilled out day Wine and Blood in-between some motor sports F1 and BTCC the Scotland game is on later not expecting much against Germany will be happy with a half decent performance
-
yeah, ireland game starts in the next few minute from the same group
interesting times
should be fun when we meet you lot
-
It is still as hot and humid as shit. With lots of bugs just waiting to feed on human blood.

Back to the point:
It's getting darker every week here. At 19:30 (or 7:30 PM as many of you call it) at evening you could see how it's going to take only 1 hour before it's pitch dark everywhere. Well now it's been last four hours.
During a start of winter the sun settles down at 6:00 PM or even 5:00 PM. It's dark so long until minus temperatures and snow comes in late of October or somewhere in December. Snow actually reflects the light a little bit. Then the sunniest time of the day lasts only 5 or 6 hours in December-March. But you could not see the sun here in Dec and Jan. (There's only some light but you couldn't see its source.) What it means to a normal working man it's only mid day of Saturdays and Sundays at home you could see the sun couple of hours when you're not working.
-
My best mate Dan is in New York right now and, apparently, its 97 degrees and humid as hell. I wouldn't fancy that. ???
Personally, I'm looking forward to Autumn. It's get cool (but not cold) and the trees and flowers look lovely. Deffo my favourite season.
-
Love a bit of NY. last time I was there it was Winter. Thick ice in Central Park. That place gets real Winter and Summer, from one extreme to the other. What we get varies from year to year. Not sure which is best. The feel of a real Season, or unpredictability
btw, Dan coming to Notts this December ??
-
Almost certainly. Might be also bringing an NMA newbie. Damn, to gauge that newbies reaction to the craziness that is an NMA gig or a pre-gig meet... ;D
-
I am jealous for what they are about to receive
-
Been really hot here all week in Scotland for September Met my better half in Glasgow for a coffee and a walk about the shops etc Was really busy referendum fever seems to have gripped the city with the yes supports definitely out numbering the no's on the city centre streets Seemed to be a lot of green party yes badges as well maybe that's just Celtic fans not wanting to wear blue and white lol Will do a proper post on independence asap

bump diddy bump diddy bump bump bump diddy

Was wondering where you were, sir! Glad you haven't abandoned us... ;)
'.. had to take a business trip to LA...' oh, you little jetsetter, you!
I took a train to Manchester the other day... does that compare?
;D
-
It's been quite warm (+9 celsius) during mid days. But I, we, have to be prepared for the winter these times. At earliest it might take only 2 weeks until we get sustained snow and the winter starts.
Nice comeback Heno!
-
well all i could think about was the green and the grey
aint getting rid of me that easy
and ray, sitting alongside 3 vaping drunks on the plane....i'd rather be heading to manchester
-
Sunny.
Hot.
Rainy.
Windy.
Damp.
Darker.
All in one day.
The shops are selling Christmas stuff and I'm still wearing sandals.
Not wearing a coat yet either.
Still warm for October.
-
Well, it's gone very cold and very wet here in South Cheshire... I can manage one or the other, but both in one day... :-\
I always used to make it a 'thing' that I wouldn't put any heating on in my tiny little flat before December 1st... heck, I'm Northern, we can cope with things getting a bit chilly! But, in my rapidly ageing years, I think I might have to put the heating on tonight...
The younger version of myself is so ashamed... :-\
-
Starting to get really cold here in Ayrshire.
Autumn has definitely bitten hard and it feels like winter is on the way thankfully i have my nma woolly hat to keep me warm lol. Gawd the clocks haven't even gone back yet, i hate the dark nights they always feel so depressing but what can you do. Oh well time to catch up on sum dvds, music, games and maybe even a book or two. Suppose it means that the 13th December is ever nearer.
-
all good on the western approaches in the mid atlantic. settling into our slightly breezy, slightly moderate, slightly damp climate. which is ok but i hate these days where you are stuck between and t-shirt and a hoody with a jacket over it. think i'll winter my 18 year old boots next week and get them ready for prime time
-
Nice walk home from work tonight... I love autumn and all the colours that it brings. It's funny, because everything is beautiful, but it's because everything is dying...
Someone should write a song about that.
-
Personally, I hate autumn. Only for the ever closing in darkness. Soon the clocks will back, the you leave work and its already dark.
I never would have made a good Goth :-\
-

... but Autumn means it's only a matter of weeks until another big and doubtlessly classic Xmas NMA gig! Can't say that about Spring, can you?
-
Yeah, I'll give you that one ;)
-
Very blowy
-
Aye heavy showers and strong winds says it all
-
Just got home from work and the expression 'drowned rat' doesn't begin to cover it.
Anyone know this Noah fella? He might have something to do with it...
-
You know this (or some other No Rain versions of that festival)? ;)

10 degrees C swing here between last night and tonight. mild tonight, first chill yesterday
dull, overcast
but all good otherwise....
-
Just heard from a forecast: next night it's going to -5 C.
The high score today was in northern Lappland Finland. -20.
-
i would love to go there again. it was incredible. but only for a short stay
-

You've been there? Where did you go? Yllas (Ylläs) or Ruka or Levi?
-
Bloody hell, it went cold all of a sudden! Had a nice Autumn walk home in mellow temperatures roundabout 5pm this afternoon... then just now nipped over to ASDA for a few supplies...
F-ing sodding Crikey, it's so cold out there, even the witches tits are calling in sick!
-
Yesterday when you wrote that Ray, it went cold here too (although we get winds here from different directions from the world).
Now it's raining snow first time since last winter. We have to change the tyres here to stud (like spikes) type every autumn and back when it's March/April. I'm going to wait for some time before I'll change them. Just hoping the snow is not staying yet. Have to wait for some time.
-
we've had ridiculous rain
-
and the whole of ireland is rain free right now
except for here
like how does a cloud always seem to be hanging over here?

every day since 1966
or so it feels
-
I loved this afternoon... the copper-y red leaves from the trees scattered everywhere, a temperature that was just chilly enough to give you those nice autumn tingles and a 4pm-ish sunset that bathed my surroundings in a fine warm-coloured pretty hue...
:)
-
Sounds gorgeous Ray. I like to walk the dog just before sunset - it's when you get the best colours :)
-
It's -1 during middays, -3 to -4 at midnight. No snow yet. Dry air. A deadline to change the tyres is after one week.
Waiting for the start of December, if we'd finally get a real winter. Then I'll put my yukon, sarawak & fiordland on and take a full throttle.
-
Very cold. apparently Canada has given the entire United States it's insanely cold weather.
It's a record breaking cold for November.
-
we've heard that we might be getting the worst weather with snow and freezing temps all over christmass
ireland and uk is where i heard it about
anyone else here this?
or is it all just another distraction whilst they play their silly games
-
Last winter (in the UK) was supposed to be the worst ever, murderous and freezing... I didn't see a single snowflake... likewise, hurricane conditions in the last fortnight...
**** the news reports, I'll believe it when I experience it.
-
ray, get out from under that 10 ft snowdrift
-
Now it's the time for winter tyres. Yesterday it took 1 & half hour to drive to home, only 50 km:s/hour.
-
A wet morning that looks like brighten up a bit. Heading to Glasgow to meet a couple of mates Check out the festive markets probably buy some kind of exotic burger sorry veggies lol and go to costa for a mocha.
-
crisp calm and calm again
just like me
sure where would ya get it
-
90 percent chance of thunderstorms for 17 hours tonight and Tomorrow. This means flooding will be likely. Basically I am staying with a friend that does not live near a river until this passes. It's better than staying in an unstable mobile home that shakes every time it gets very windy and rains hard.
-
What I've understood from the news in couple of last three years, it looks like you've had quite radical changes in weather in the States more often?
-
We enjoyed sunshine approximately 5 hours during whole November. Wished
that snow would come at last. It reflects day light and makes everything brighter.
-
wow
we lit the real fires for the first time. its got a colder. it might only get as high as 5 tomorrow
brrrrrrr........
-
Damn, it's so cold here in South Cheshire that the brass monkeys were knocking on my door and asking if I knew any welders... ;D
-
A nasty cold wet and windy here with heavy hail showers As we say dreich
-
It's still damn hot. I want to live somewhere with actually seasons. That's why i am looking to move to Pittsburgh or North New York near the Canadian border. You get cold winters, mild springs and autumns and warm summers.
-
Well I have to say I hardly believe there are any actual seasons left. Weathers have changed so much. I'm scared once again about a storm. Forecasts assumed at first there's winding 11 meters on Wednesday (tomorrow). Then they changed it to 6 meters per sec. Now they changed it to damn 20 meters. It's always with these storms that if the worst would happen, I and my wife would get a 8 ton weight of spine tree on our roof. I am nervous about tomorrow.
-
Okay, we survived yesterday. Day after tomorrow there will be another storm coming.
-
wet, warm and windy.
;D
-
Okay, now it seems to be alright here. Snowing started yesterday and now we've got 10 to 15 centimetres snow everywhere in the country. It's nearly -5 Celsius and the forecasts expect -13 on Thursday. It's going up and down for one week and if everything goes normally, it will go to -15 to -20 or higher on January.
-
Dependable cold weather in your part of the World Rusco. Here its still all over the place, 12c+ here today. Had to turn the heating off at work.

Yea, it's because we don't get the warmth from the golf streams that you get over there. The warm winds can't cross over the mountains in Norway. It's also due to that when the winds approach the lands from a sea they'll change the direction. So the coldness comes from north and east to here.
I like it because it's so silent then. It doesn't wind nearly at all then and maybe you could hear couple of loud noises that trees and icy lakes may cause. Even the bad guys don't rob apartments then.
-
But the weather is changing every 3 to 5 months a lot. On July we had +25 to +29 for one month.
-
-18 now. The trees are making 'bang' noises. Cars have to be loaded with extra power supply that they could be used.
-
After rusco's post im not going to complain. Been about -4 here and i definitely don't mind that get some suitable clothes on fire up the mp3 player and go for a good walk down the woods, you cant beat the winter landscape for beauty, greens and browns against a frosty background of white
-
Well, cold is cold wheter it's -4 or more :). It's possible to get used to cold. It will take couple of weeks. Today, earlier when I posted here it was 6:30 AM here. It went up to -21 during midday, but then it started to get warmer very fast. It's only -10 now. Something strange there is because the forecasts expect plus celsius for tomorrow.
-
Went for a good long walk Yesterday with the family. It was very hampered by the pavements being coated in compacted snow which had turned to 2 inch thick ice. Woke up this morning, all of it, absolutely all of it gone, and a warm day. WTF :-\
-
WTF...
I heard about estimations there's going to be a very fierce storm hitting some parts of England, southern Norway, southern Sweden, Denmark and/or northern parts of Germany on next Friday. Approx wind speed 35 meters/sec or even 40 meters/sec.
Can anyone of you living near to above mentioned nations please tell are the news about it correct? The direction the storm might be moving is not yet clear. If it passes even to bit northern it might hit Finland as well.
???

Nothing special for the noth of Germany (11 isn`t friendly, but not 35)
Have a look here (Denmark forecast)

Let's hope it will lessen its power when it approach a land.

somebody can give me back the summer please :-*
-
Ha, Heno... there was a conversation that strayed over into various other threads about the merits of brown sauce or 'red sauce' (or, as us civilised people call it, tomato sauce ;) ) on a bacon sandwich. Yeah, I know, silly shit, but it's making us laugh.
-
(or, as us civilised people call it, tomato sauce ;) )
Posh git ;D
The original point of the sauce war was that there is no definitive answer. It was in response to someone stating that it is an undisputable fact that Lennon was a better song writer than Sullivan. Anyone choosing to disagree with this has no brain. My original point was, there is no fact as to who is the greatest ever song writer, like with sauce a matter of personal taste and opinion -- in my case, Sullivan and red sauce.
Oh sorry, tomato sauce :D

oh, i guess i'll have to play ketchup ray

Nice you came back Heno! What have you been doing?
-
trying to get the merge ro four company completed with an LA based one
trying to figure out how to use technology to make government more transparent and putting citizens services on a par with global brand services and capabilities
and i was in china for three days last week and am still not over the fact that i worked through both time zones and managed a grand total of 5 hours sleep in 72 hours. i'm too old for this
and still recovering from the local canton cuisine of preserved pig innards cold meat platter which i thought was braied canotese duck when i ordered it. i even flapped my wings and said quack quack and the chinese people, who hadn't one word fo english, kept nodding. then it arrived......wel man, i have a stomach for most things but not a pigs stomach, boiled and chilled intestinal fat, steamed spleen, i think their might have even been a couple of smoked sweetbreads. lung. the ******* lot.
and now i am back in the land of spuds and pasta
man i gotta work on a menu for the new year. a healthy and engaging one. like a jamie's 15 minutes meals. with no meat. just some good fish on it. or i aint physically and mentally going to survive the challenges ahead......
bet you're glad you asked mate.
how are you anyway?
oh, and its raining and windy and a tree is down in the corner of my garden and it is being held up by the telegraph wires (thats phone lines to you young uns) and i have to go to dublin. and i bet the work crew arrive when i am not here and make a mess of the hedge.
all fun and games
if my trip had been to brazil i reckon i would have risked disappearing into the forest and seek out a lost tribe that walks around naked all day, men go hunting whilst getting wasted on drinking the bones of their fathers in some psychedelic concoction and only visit the womens huts for sex and food.
why oh why did we have to evolve.

Heno - International Man Of Mystery!

It's hot again. Three days ago it was as cold as hell.

wind and rain and snow everywhere but here
major storm coming tonight.
-
Another crap January day, cold wet and windy and i will count myself lucky tens of thousands of people have had it a lot worse, some have been left without electricity for a few days.
-
my missus said shes never known it to be so windy
i apologised
-
Bloody bizarre day here in South Cheshire! Horizontal rain, then a bit of snow, then an hour of sunshine, then dark ominous clouds that pissed sleet on us (with the occasional rainbow) and now it's calmed down but SO ******* cold...
:-\
-
Been lovely,
Just read this in The Independent:
"A Met Office spokesperson continued: “An organised band of sleet and snow showers"
Who's organising the weather and how are they doing it ???
We should be told, it might be terrorists and we should be bombing these organised bands ;D
-
bahahahahaha
2014 the warmest year on record
oil prices going through the floor
US almost self sufficient for oil due to shale
seems like there just might be a major global conflict on its way for some reason
-
The first snow here for a couple of years about maybe 5 inches, yes it may look beautiful at times I hate it when it all gets compacted hard into the pavement and walking becomes difficult
-
got some blocks
i hate burning trees but they are from a renewable source
man these are good blocks as they say in blockland
-
;D
-
gonna burn a rake of them again today
-
Good stuff, I do like a nice fire, unfortunately I don't have a fireplace so I'll just have to imagine a virtual one. :)
-
Like a bloody skating rink out there lol
-
Bloody Cold ;D
-
Just been out to Ikea at Leeds and Nottingham and then visited some friends in Newark.
Got home after about a 30 mile journey and it was snowing very heavily, it's now stopped but forecast to be very cold tonight.
Not at work tomorrow so a day making jewellery beckons
-
gonna burn a rake of them again today
We burn them every day in a fireplace. Sometimes only once per two days if it's not too cold outside.
-
well i've managed to light and maintain the fire without an coal. the trick is to chop lots of big blocks into small blocks and then mix small and big when adding blocks to the fire. its all ablaze now.
smokin'
-
The fire always burns brightest when no one is watching heno lol
-
Tonight, it's getting pretty damn cold. And, for some reason, my whole street smells strongly of chocolate. I have no ******* idea what that's all about.
-
The fire always burns brightest when no one is watching heno lol
its must because by the time i get back to it, its gone out.......

then you need to remember that if you leave a fire to burn it will burn itself away- pay attention man :)
p.s. there's usually a few embers left though and generally they only need a gentle breath to blaze away again :-*
-
It tried to snow earlier here today, but failed. Thank God... I hate snow more than I hate fascism... all pretty and shit at first, then it turns into a slushy ugly mess that's just waiting to send you tumbling over and HURT you...
I would like to personally greet every single, delicate, prettily-individual little snowflake that falls anywhere near me... and punch it in its bastard face.

i never head that phrase before. i'll probably use it until the day i burn out myself now
so it nearly went out yesterday. we collect all the sticks from big tree all year round and use them to start the fire. i just grab a handful and its is back even from the tiniest glow

so this chinese project has been going very well except for one or two little hiccups. i've been working over 20 hours a day this week with only getting rest from about 7am to 10am or so each day. the great firewall of china is interesting. sometimes things work perfectly and mysteriously without warning they start to fail. that happened last night when our download service stopped working in the middle of the conference. luckily around 85% of attendees had already downloaded it. getting angry calls from clients who don't under the risk of computing across the gfw of china is not easy at the best of times, getting them at 4am when you think all is going well, is terrible. if i have learned anything from this week it is you can never plan for the unknown unknowns. add that little chinese gfw ingredient and it goes to a totally other level.
dark cold and damp here. sure whats new.

did you ever get the impression that this space fella is here to drive traffic

cold
very cold
windy
makes it colder
so its very very cold
-
calm, cloudy, cold
typical grey winters day
no rain, no snow
still burning my logs and blocks
biggest problem is that now that i have got well into the first load it appears that the bloke who supplied them is more than capable of throwing in a load of rubbish. like, some are like damp pulp in places and will never burn, rotting a little.
next year we're going to burn our own since we'll have to get the tree people in and trim everything. that, and the council sent me a letter to say that i have to cut the perimeter hedge. i've purposely let it grow as i want to get it shaped that it grows straight out about 1.5ft at the top of the wall and then straight up with a gentle apex on the top. i'll wait until they threaten me and then sort. has to be done before march when the ban on trimming hedges comes in
-
You have a period of ban for trimming hedges in Ireland?
Sorry I don't mean to be rude but just reminding if you'll burn your own wood they should be kept outside for one year drying. Some of the leaf trees like birch here should dry even for 2 years before burning them to get the best result with heating the house.
But what you said about the traitor selling rotten wood, that sucks. Once we had some bastard too who said he was selling logs in cubic metres. Well this guy brought the wood inside a normal car and wanted money for one cubic metres. Ffs, happy we didn't continue it.
Today I felled 2 spruces which were hundred years old giants. There's a storm coming again next night. Winds from north blowing up to 21-30 meters/sec. At first I had to fell down a birch from their way. Well, everything didn't go like I decided in the start: they fell were they had to but another of them had so long branches that they knocked down one pine too, + another pine which maintained its place but became a tree called "konkelo" in Finnish. That means a tree which is leaning strongly to some direction and has strong tensions inside it... So now we've got suddenly 5 trees which will give us wood for 6,5 cubic metres.
-
so, i didn't know that but i reckon after trying to burn the first one i'd probably come on here and ask you and anna about what the **** is going on :D
and sure. we have some rule that says that we should cut hedgerow in urban areas starting in march each year. its understandable since housing densities here are like large housing estates so keeping some green in the concrete jungle is a must. and garden wildlife starting humping at that time
we need to start a commune
-
so, i didn't know that but i reckon after trying to burn the first one i'd probably come on here and ask you and anna about what the **** is going on
No no please don't get me wrong good ol' Heno. I realised I answered too fast. What do I know about Irish customs and traditions or wood types(?), nothing is the answer. ;)
We here have laws too about how to treat wildlife in urban territories. I know there are some cities where you couldn't fell a single tree without a permission for that, even though the tree would threaten your house. I don't know the exact word to describe this in English. Hehe.
Let's start a Family commune! 8)
-
i know that ya dope
are you on high ground where you are?
-
I live in a top floor flat. No greenery. Can't be arsed with it, quite frankly.
Best of luck, though, with the commune thing.
:)
-
i lived on the 26th floor of a tower squat in north london for about three months. i understand how alien greenery. except of course if its bud
-
i know that ya dope
Eeh, have to admit I'm not quite sure what you mean.
you on high ground where you are?
It's located in west southern coast, or 10 km's near to it. This isn't highlands, but farming areas, straight ground here.Winds come here from many directions.
-
thats like saying "i know that" and giving you a rub on the head.....dopey
sounds isolated and bleak
where precisely is it?
-
sounds isolated and bleak
where precisely is it?
Yep. We live in a deep forest in Finland Proper (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southwest_Finland). There's 4,5 km's to nearest town. But the nearest big city (Turku) is in 35 km's distance. I honestly assume our way of living would feel very isolated (and boring) to most of you urban citizens. ;)
There's a well romanticized view about Finland as a land of thousands of lakes and full of forests (http://www.luonnossa.org/Metsanhoito/Suomen_metsat/183-5.jpg). At times we ourselves tend to believe it too. But in reality, nowadays as there are strict laws and ways we should take care of forests, means their ecological diversity is not so good as it used to be, and as what the maintenance itself demand. They are so-called economical "forests", heavily treated, sparsely grown and which support often only one of the tree species (mainly pine and birch). (Nobody wants spruce because its price is so low.)
Let's try this: I put a link to my post on a Google+ group called "Woodworking". There you could see the project with spruces I told in my earlier post above. (I apologise the bad quality of photos). Here it goes:

Currently waiting for Tropical Cyclone Pam to arrive. It's been downgraded from a category 5 to a 4 but it's still a pretty nasty storm. It literally blew Vanuatu off the map yesterday. Don't think I'll be getting much sleep on my boat tonight.

Here in lovely Boston (USA Boston), it's another sort of mild day(above freezing) with some good melting going on. The massive snow fall we just had (106 inches in less than a month) is finally starting to dissolve. Who did we piss off to deserve this winter?

Oh Johnz, yea we've heard the storm there at Vanuatu was really, really bad. It was very sad news and unbelievably strong storm. Heard their president called it a "monster" that literally destroyed everything.
So where are you sailing nowadays? If I remember right you live in a boat or? Please correct me if I remember it wrong. :)

Thanks Rusco. I live on my boat in New Zealand. Luckily the storm turned and we only got the edge of it which was still nasty but nothing like what Vanuatu got. Got some huge seas but not so much wind so it was ok.

that cyclone was something else.
do they happen often? the pacific is so huge and so sparsely populated.
-

That was the biggest one in a long time but we should be seeing more of them as the climate gets warmer. These storms get their energy from the warm water which has been steadily getting warmer over the last decades. At the moment we get around 2 or 3 each summer. Most of them are smaller though. Cat 2 or 3. Pam was Cat. 5 which was the same as Katrina in the Gulf of Mexico and is as bad as it gets. Not pretty!

Definitely the best day of the year so far Has spring sprung in stewarton Gives me a excuse to wear my new stop the killing t shirt, over my hoodie its no that warm lol

We poor at our 40's.
I don't know how is it in other countries but here our parent's generation called us by a name meaning "you're a newcomer to things and ye don't know how to get things fixed because you're THAT age". That's only because they remember their childhood at countryside and learned things you don't have to do in the cities.
But at the same time: we're too old for the second Y generation. We have a morality about working that we've learned from parents, so we're not flexible enough with the new needs at working.

Weather: cold, rainy, no feelings of near spring (beginning tomorow?)
And stop complaining - you are too young and not in your 50`s ;D ;D

Sunny but blummin cold in the playground this afternoon.

A few heavy showers, went a walk down the woods and managed to get get caught in probably the only hail shower of the day whilst in the middle of nowhere n the isn't much shelter beneath the trees yet. Still i really enjoyed it mp3 on shuffle, didn't see anybody else just a few birds n squirrels. Managed to loss a few of the winter cobwebs, need to keep it up
-
F-ing bloody crikey, mad weather today!
Woken up at 4am by winds so fierce that I thought my bedroom window was gonna get smashed in! Managed to get off to sleep, awoken by calm, nice, pretty sunny stuff. :)
By lunchtime, it was throwing down hard hailstones horizontally. And it's been back and forth between those two extremeties between then and now...
???

Bloody typical! It's been a lovely warm sunny day and no sooner do you get home for the long weekend and it gets cloudy >:(

Weather today here..? Looks lovely, all bright and sunny, then you go out in a light jacket and **** ME, that harsh wind is freezing... :o
-
hello friends. been on the road for a few weeks
what the haps with the paps, or the story with rory?
in other words - whats been happening. just saw witch's departing note and sort of feeling that there should be nothing here that causes a stalwart of family to leave, certainly nothing on this board. so, give us the deets please.
-
A lot colder here today after a really good week we can't complain its still April
-
Horizontal rain, blown in by very cold winds...
-
F-ing bloody freezing, turned off my heating a few days back! Wish I hadn't!
-
How about, what is the warmest period in Britain at summer? Once, I remember being there in June for couple of weeks and it was really warm then whole time.
Normally it's very hot here in July from 10th to mid of August. Last summer it was more than 25 celsius for one month. And half of that period even 30 celsius.
Now it's about 10 celsius. Last week there was a day we had the last snow (we call it "back winter"). It's normal it pours down once at the end of April and melts away. But yeah, on the other hand we've had not snow for a long time.
-
i would love to live there
-
It was very, very windy which I am finding is common in The Netherlands.
-
its a well known fact that the dutch are full of wind LOL
but a wonderful place and wonderful people although you had better be thick skinned and able to handle the direct nature of the interaction.
-
I haven't noticed the directness yet, just friendliness. However I am living in more-or-less a small hippy commune so perhaps they are more alternative Dutch people. I like it, just am not used to the idea of recycling used toilet paper instead of flushing. It smells awful.
But today was a sunny day and bike ride alone the Rhine in a town with horses and windmills. I just wanted to live there and never return. It's beautiful.
-
Turned out really nice after a few showers in the morning, managed to get a bit of shopping in Irvine after work then went a good walk later on with my mp3 player on shuffle mode as usual, only seen 1 jogger and a few grey squirrels
-
Freezing horizontal rain with icy winds, so bad that I had to get my parka out of winter retirement just so I could nip over to Asda...
Yay, summer!
-
Its cold here in Germany right now my husband had his bday yesterday and he got a present done by us a flight wit a saille plane but he was not able too coz the weather was not okay >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(
-
I meant with Im sorry my mistake......
-
Stormy, windy and cold. It's the first of June and it feels like October. They canceled all boats to the island. The next boat has been set back to noon tomorrow. It's not safe to sail at the moment. The fishing boats weren't even out.
I mean it's not as bad as a hurricane with spin- off tornadoes like my place of birth but by european standards pretty bad. But of course they go into mass panic over a category one storm when we cope with Katrina or something ;D
-
Raining cats and dogs in West Yorkshire; and has been since about 3pm. Welcome, June.
-
From West Yorks and you've only just found NMA !!!! ???
Oh well, better late than never. ;)
-

Tell me about it!
-
Alternating between stair rods and scirocco today... Sort of moving in the right direction for summer I suppose?
-
Cracking the flags today. Yes folks, West Yorkshire summer 2015 happened on Thursday 6th June. ;)
-
Hot and sweaty thank you.
:)
-
Was rather close in the East Mids today. Like it wanted to rain but couldn't be bothered to :-\
-
Hot right now in Germany 34 degrees ...
-
It's about 18 celsius during these times.
Grass growing and cutting it a little bit. I still have some timber work left from last winter. It's ok if I'll do it until the start of July, in a case of pests in forests.
I feel quite well now too. My wife started her unbelievably long summer vacation that will last two months. I mean TWO ******* months! Geez, that's something I could never achieve. Well, she's working at a kindergarten and they have a similar contract as teachers at schools have.
Well, we´re going to have a renovation at July. We're going for exile for that month. At last week of July even to Greece to one of our friends 60 years birthday party. That will be nice.
Cheers and love to you all. I haven't been here for a while here due to my busy weekly periods. I won't forget you. :)

Not liking my weather today. It's rather over-warm but there's no cool breeze to balance it out. Got all my windows open. Think I might need a fan on later.
I prefer a milder season.
-
Been really nice here over the last few days wow its even went over 20 cei
-
Grey and humid most of the day.
Light rain now.
Still warm.
Smells fresh out in the garden.

Been really hot all day and we just nearly had a thunder storm (but not quite). The rain though was something else. Like something outta a rainforest - and it was warm !!!!
-
does anyone think gareth bale purposely sets out to look like a fictional character from ancient chinese tv shows?
-
Now it's raining.
Bouncing back up from the road rain.
My garden is going to love this.
So are the blummin slugs and snails !
;D
-
A tiny bit cooler today Went a good walk through the woods got a few midgie bites along the way

It's all gone 'muggy'.
I don't like 'muggy'. :(
-
sounds like i feel sometimes ray
anna, i dunno. not close to understanding what attracts someone like me to it. it fucking baffles me
-
Grey and humid.
-
Oh, it rained a bit earlier... a walk in the rain after a couple of days of dull warm muggy weather? Priceless.
I love the rain...

A classic.
I did not love the rain in the Midlands this weekend. Ankle-deep in mud the consistency of slurry.

mmmmmm slurry

Ha, Sheena. A mate of mine got back today, he said it was like the bloody Somme...

Ooh I have tractor envy Wessexy witch. That would have been v useful...
-
Hot again today.
Absolutely lashed it down for about 10 minutes after school yesterday though .
-
Very hot and Sunny today - from what I can see through the window in the distance. If you are getting out and about in the sun today - spare a though for those stuck behind a hot sticky desk >:(
-
Ma heart bleeds for you shush lol
Hot humid sultry muggy you choice Not sunny but
-
Not liking this heat, especially when you're trying to get to sleep and you don't have air conditioning... could put a fan on but how much 'leccy does that use up?
What can I say, I'm a winterlover.
-
Depends how many kw its ray for every kw it costs about 13p a hour approximate
-
So, it's been hot and muggy all day, not my favourite weather conditions, but the clouds were gathering and thunder and lightning, in the distance, started to boom and flash... yay, a refreshing cool storm!
And then it starts throwing down hail stones. In the middle of a heatwave.
What in the name of flippin' bloody crikey is wrong with weather nowadays?
:-[
-
hot. it was hot in la.
man. I never saw so many homeless people. living in tents or less. close to down town. really weird and unexpected. in most places they move people en masse into ghettos and townships and slums. theres such a contrast but the same injustice all over the world.
and people think those on the street are sick. sick, but not in a nice way. theres almost blame involved. heard the same debate on radio earlier here.
so the weather is sunny
the climate is rotten

Felt much the same way time I was in Manchester...
-
Can't talk for LA but in the UK.................. Austerity in action.
Noticeably more and more suffering every month.
Even in my part of the world which is ostensibly one of the richest parts of England. The numbers of homeless is rising. To most people they seem to be invisible or if not it's seen as their own fault. I've noticed more and more individuals on the street and encampments in roadside verges and just the other week a 20 year girl was found dead on wasteland.
Progressive civilised Britain? Dream on. >:(
A ballboy fainting a Wimbledon is of more concern.
Nevermind, it's not your son/daughter on the street is it?
-
Yes Anna the Tories are definitely on a rampage against the poorest in society. Cutting working/child tax credits and housing benefit. The percentage of poor get higher ever year whilst the rich few get richer. Is really what the country gave a huge backing to only a few months ago. No wonder IDS doesn't want to tell us how many people have died after getting there benefits cut
-
They've now redefined Child Poverty............................... >:(
-
I think this sums up The Tories...

Weather today ? bloody awful. Been more like November than late July. Just goes to show, you can never predict the British weather. No doubt plenty of people booked Weddings/ Barbecue's for 24th /25th July in the sensible assumption the weather should be good by then. ::)
-
Only a few light showers here lol
Is this officially the worst summer ever ?
-
It's raining >:(
-
It's stereotypical english weather. Rain and wind and it's cold in mid summer
-
Don't forget to slap on the sun lotion for the great British Summer in the morning ::)
-
Its officially dreich
-
Still raining...
-
Its officially dreich
Blimey Pol - that took some work in google to figure out but I gather it means light rain that gets you wet before you know it :-\
Been quite nice here today ;D
-
'That fine rain that soaks you through', as Peter Kay once said.
Personally, I find it quite refreshing....
-
Blimey, the weather tonight 'round my way! Dark clouds throwing down freezing rain, huge lightning flashes and thunder loud enough to rattle me windows! Quite frankly, I'm waiting for these four gentlemen to show up... ;)

Serves ya right for living in that there North ;D
Here it's been unbelievably gorgeous - clear blue skies, pure sunshine and oof but it was hot. Caught the sun so much out on the range for 4 hours they'll probably put me in Belmarsh :D

Isn't it great though. Our weird and very wonderful British weather. Earlier today, thinking - Wow sunshine, we set off to go for a nice walk in the country side. When we got back, rain drops like golf balls, thunder and lightening, then a bit cold, then hot and sweaty in the pub. -- all in th same day.
Mother nature RULES 8)
-
Exactly, Shush... I remember the magnificent Bill Hicks saying something about Californian weather and the people who live there that went 'every day, hot and sunny, hot and sunny, hot and sunny and you LOVE it... what are you, a fuckin' lizard?'
Love that unpredictability! :D
-
Probably the hottest day of the year here ,definitely up there
Went to Ayr racecourse car boot got a few DVDs bottom young ones acdc u2 a new boxed pair of clippers n Sony speaker for my mp3 n still got change from £20 lol

The wrong one probably ;D

on the subject of weather...its pissing down here, at least a little cooler than the oven which was Saturday. im ready for autumn now. I love september
-
The wrong one probably ;D
as we do!
-
Gutted one direction are splitting up
Just found out about 1D splitting up.
Horrified, devastated, tearful, upset... I don't know long it is gonna take me to get over it.
I just think that...
Oh, wait.... I just got over it.
;D
-
Oh jeezus you're not gonna be dying again are ya ? ;D
-
It has been quite warm here in August. Nights are cold, but on middays it reaches to 22 to 25. Tomorrow they said 27 celsius... It's nice because earlier part of summer (or - most of it) has been cold and rainy.
-
The weather in Essex is just random a bit of everything :)
-
Autumn seems to be coming on and I'm happy because it's my favourite season... it's getting darker in the evenings, there's a lovely chill in the mornings and the evenings and the trees are on the verge of turning brown...
It's funny about the trees... they all look so beautiful because everything is dying...
Someone should write a song about that. ;)
-
In my new home Maramures region of Romania it was sunny and hot in midday but there was a nice breeze coming from the Carpathians this evening. I had to pick plums for hours, it will soon be horinca.
-
A very murky start which eventually managed to burn off into late afternoon sunshine. Went a much needed walk down the woods with my mp3, very enjoyable , autumn is just starting to kick in
-
doesn't time fly?

Time, he's waiting in the wings
He speaks of senseless things
His script is you and me, boys

So, it's only mid-September but already I'm walking to work in a big bloody parka with the hood over my head... :-\
-
It's still September but the gritters are already out... :-\
-
A bit of Indian summer here, September probably the best month of the year , getting cold though especially in the morning and at night. Lets hope the winter coats haven't gone
-
Great innit !!
Summer this year not very impressive, but it is finishing very nicely :)
-
[...] Lets hope the winter coats haven't gone
Aw, you'll know I will swamp the forum again with posts about freezing temperatures. Snow 2 meters... frosty nose, ice peaks and sawing logs all the day. :D
Actually there's a certain thing around here again which is a sign of autumn: storm approaching tomorrow evening and lasting for 2 days. Oh, mine. ???
-
Makes me wonder how come over here you get a few millimetres of snow and the country grinds to a halt
-
Admit I exaggerated that a bit. Not 2 meters. ;)
Yea few millimetres can cause exceptional cases what comes to adherence on a road. I think car tyres and their adherence are the biggest cause for troubles in countries where it doesn't snow often.
Btw what are the strange news about the "earthquake" in north London? Ground dropped for 10 meters at 20 meters diameter or something?
-
Without checking the full facts mate . It was a sink hole not sure if they happen where you are , I'm sure it will be explained better on the internet somewhere
-
Glorious !!! Absolutely bloody glorious :-*
Again !!!!!!!!!!!!! ;D
It's been beautiful and warm ! I mean, 2nd October and standing outside the office for a smoke in a vest ? Still got Sunflowers coming in the garden although to be fair this weekend will probably be the last lot I'll get to cut for the house and my biggest ever one has now finished :( 3.25m I reckon, But the gardening year still has a few weeks excitement left in it before sleeping for winter 8)
Think the Wochenende is gonna be cool too .......................... :P
-
First snow today in Lapland I heard. 1-4cm's.
-
Oh! It's a gorgeous, foggy, atmospheric, not-too-cold kind of Autumn evening, the kind I really love! Think I might have to go for a walk, kicking through the fallen leaves... before them bloody annoying Christmas decorations go up and ruin it all...
-

It was actually really nice again today for a good few hours, felt quite warm when you weren't in the shade. What's happening warm Scotland November
-
Yea, it's warm here again too. It's beautiful and a strange start for November.
-
Fookin' hell, the wind tonight here! Left my bedroom window open and it blew half the rail / curtains into the room!
Feel like I should start singing 'Somewhere Over The Rainbow' and put my ruby slippers on! ;)
-
That will be all those beans ray , n stick to your boots plz lol
Been pissin down for days here, enough for the cult to change their minds

I see they're now putting out Heinz beans in little plastic microwave-able pots.
It's uncanny.

Man! We've had them for ages down 'ere ;D

You southerners and your modern technology lol

Many of my fellow Cheshire friends are talking about snowfall tonight on Facebook... not seeing any of it here.
I'm hoping not to wake up tomorrow to a thick layer of cold slippery horribleness... >:(

Well, MR, us Welsh are getting some. Started here at about ten PM and it's still going now, unfortunately. Can't stand snow.
-
I do also despise that bastard-y snow stuff... >:(
-
Not a big fan of the white stuff, its cold and slippy. But, it is also nice to see it for the first time to confirm the season.
-
It's raining big white flakes very densely. 2-3 cm:s snow but it will melt quite soon. 0 c° outside.
Yea, we've got the Flakes (http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=RFvtoJrK1Zg). ;-)
-
Bloody cold but at least its dry
-
Cold! Cold! So f-ing cold!!!! :-[
-
Damn, so much water falling onto my hometown today that I'm wondering if anyone knows a bloke called 'Noah'...
-
Were gonna need a bigger boat
-
Biblical rain here too...
-
Biblical rain here too...
We had that here too, luckily about 3am, I have a leaking gutter which spills onto my window sill, making a noise.
Had a pee, went back to sleep.
It's strong winds that keep me awake and rattle the house.
-
rain everywhere
saw a simulation of weather over ireland. it unintentionally centred on our peaceful little hamlet of wicklow
no one would ever move to wicklow if they saw it. pricks won't share it either.
-
Damn, just nipped over to Asda and it's so windy! Almost blew me over!
If it gets any windier, I'll wake up in Oz with a pair of ruby slippers on...
-
somewhere over the rainbow raymundo
-
The rain is biblical. Flooding and road closures right up the Calder valley. Hebden Bridge under water again. Where's Noah when you need him?
-
Well I'm certainly not going to complain, its wet and miserable alright but thinking about others who are a lot worse off and knowing how lucky I was to make the Nottingham trip wouldn't have been possible the week before or two weeks later
-
No rain where I am at the mo. Just warmer that it should be.
-
It went day before yesterday to -10c° and have stayed there since. I heard it will go to -15c° on next weekend and it starts to snow quite a lot.
We should go to Nilsiä for new year's eve. 3 days there and drive 7 hours back on Sunday. I really like the place there at Nilsiä. It's in northern Savonia district, where my parent's generic come from.
-
Well, it might be the middle of winter but today we found a nice new daffodil in our back garden and saw a bumble bee ???
-
Just waiting on storm fannybaws doing it worst
-
Windy or what !! Not slept a bloody wink >:(
-
It went today to -25 Celsius. It has soon been for 5 days near to that. I had to put magnesium salt to the last well where water should discharge to a frozen gutter. Salt makes wonders.
It should get 10 C° warmer on Sun and Mon and then I can start logging.
-
I can't imagine how cold that is Rusco.

Dry and still air, WW. It doesn't wind at all then and skies are cloudless. If weather goes towards depression; low-pressure area, then it gets warmer but it will bring clouds, winds and possibly snow too. Then it feels actually colder because of the wind. But of course when it's -20 or such alike you'd feel cold if you don't have good winter clothes. Covering face, feet and hands (fingers, toes, nose and ears) well is important because they're the first places that will get cold. Also, if you run, move, or do some sports outside cold will pinch you quite easily. If having an asthma it'll make it difficult to be outside for a long time. During winter the humidity inside houses gets also very dry and quite many need to use some moisturising lotions.
We have actually only a ridiculous 1 cm of snow in southern Finland now. So the frost line beneath the ground is very deep now. Snow could be also a well insulation for the ground, drainage and even to the buildings if it's collected like a shelter near to them (but of course the pipelines etc. are insulated and contstructed in a way they they're not depended of the frost line).
We've been waiting this actually quite a long time that forest machines could go working to the forests.
Now the frost line is deep enough. Otherwise the roots of the trees would suffer too much because of the weight.
-
Rusco, what are the Summers like where you are ?
-
Hey Shush!
During May it's something like +5 to +20 Celsius. Inbetween March and May it rains very little. On June there's often an odd storm and rain but it gets warmer; 11 to 24 Celsius or something like that. In July and August it's often hot and rains less. Something like 17 to 27 Celsius.
At times it's a bit frustrating with our weather because it changes quite drastically. Two to three months and it turns to something else all the time. :)
Now, today it went to -13 Celsius. Tomorrow possibly -5. Then at next week back to -14.
-
What I've heard, this is easy compared to some areas on the other side of Urals. Coldest places on the earth that are inhabited by people. -83 Celsius.
There are some strange things with water that could occur in cold. Pipes for example: another being for hot water and another for cold. Guess which one of them will freeze first? (in a case cold raises so high, or insulation is constructed in a wrong way)
Answer is: hot pipe.
-
In science it's called the Mpempa effect, I see.
...now we're getting snow, at last. Snowing heavily 'til Wednesday. I've been constructing a 2 cubic meters size wooden "box" or something outside. It will become actually a warehouse with a roof and and small door to store wood; boards etc that take too much space at my work room. It isn't ready yet and I have to dig it out of snow on Wen. Bugger. :)
-
Shitty. I have been living with my parents house and will be until feb 12th. This means I am bored. There are no jobs to get for only a month. None available and can't stand being of no use. All I have to do it sit on the internet.
It's my only socialization.
-
Oh crap. This was the weather thread. not how are you feeling today thread
Sorry for my lack of attentiveness.

Was going to complain about the cold but compared to rusco its tropical

Here's a link to Finnish weather forecast: http://ilmatieteenlaitos.fi/
Here -15c now.
-
It's a bit breezy here tonight.
-
Pissing it.

-
Not sure if its been mentioned......raining. I think nowadays that heavy rain is called a storm and has a name. Which changes. Every half hour. ::)
-
Couldn't let the kids go out today.
(http://www.4smileys.com/smileys/seasons-smileys/storm.gif)
-
Cold but calm.
-
Think we missed the worst of the latest storm this time
-
Windy
-
Well the cold went away and snow melt. Moisty. But there are huge amounts of ice still in the gutters that cause gutters and rivers to flood a hell lot. Ice blocks the pipes under the roads that go beneath them.
-
(http://www.4smileys.com/smileys/seasons-smileys/freezing_cold.gif)
-
Yep. It's back. Next week going -10c.
-
A bit less breezy now. But definitely damp.
-
Wild wet and windy
-
Same.
-
More rain lol , went to Glasgow school of vape , basically a vaping event held in Drury street just across from the horseshoe bar ( very well known pub) , was alright bought a few juices had a few irn bru's met some decent people. Was better than staying in on Sunday that's for sure
-
First snow of the winter! Mixed with rain, low temperatures and high winds, so it's basically a horizontal cavalcade of clothe-soaking nastiness.... >:(
-
Cold and windy in Germany
-
Cold.
-
It's zero Celsius now. We've snow about 10cm's. Last week -6 Celsius but next week probably on plus temperature.

How I envy you!!! I love the snow and cold as much as I love the sun.
We just get bloody rain.
-
About plus 5c I would guess outside. The days are getting longer.
Each day I hear more birdsong. Chaffinch is the first (mid feb) been hearing goldcrests in the hedgerow this week. Groups of long-tailed-tits have been flitting around for a couple of weeks now.
For me its summer when I hear the first willow warbler. Can be early may, but usually mid may when this visitor is in full voice.
Willow warbler voice https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FjiV8et8C34
-
Clocks go forward on Sunday!
-
Why?
-
Surely we don't need a "daylight saving hour" or even a double one that once was...
It plays havoc with 12 hour shifts these days!
-
Yeah, but it happens, so live with it!
Personally, I prefer dark evenings...
-
You live without the expectation of the light of a new season.
May the skin grow over your eyes as a redundant organ.
-
A near tropical 15c here today
-
Balmy (not barmy) here. But warm enough to make leaving work pleasant of an afternoon. I'd say about 13c and full sunshine when I opened the doors.
Waiting for the bus, I swear I heard the start of a willow warblers song. It could have been a wren and chaffinch singing together and my mind playing hopeful tricks for the spring to come. Don't usually hear willow warblers in full song til may. He could be an early visitor staking his ground in an area richer with food before moving to their usual breeding grounds.

Sun shine. Light snow. Sun shine. Heavy snow ???

The last two early mornings have been really nice, though soon turning a lot colder. Managed to get a good start on pressure washing the back door.

No snow, but periods of bright sunlight punctuated by fiercely horizontal hailstones from a dark sky... :o

Sounds familiar - we had that as well...and it's the same thing all over again today. BUT it's supposed to get a tiny little bit warmer ;-)
-
Fantastic.
Bright starts. That's the main thing. I'm more than happy with that for my first week off of the year. All things considered.
Nice to leave a few windows open and hear the local blackbirds remind me its dawn and to get my arse out of bed even earlier!
Sweet.

But...didn't you say it was your week OFF???? :o
-
Yep.
Feck...I'm not due in court again am I?
-

Sorry, I am more the "let some other bird catch the worm" type. ;) So it seemed weird - but I guess I AM missing out on a few very nice, quiet moments. My excuse is that my dogs hate getting up early, too. ;)

Not a tennis court...

Sounds wonderful Coumarin :)

Same again today, but with added loud thunder!

Another amazing dawn. Set out at 0445. The moon was straight through my bedroom window again about 0400. One of those new "energy efficient" lamp posts was installed right outside a couple of years ago. I considered getting thicker curtains, but then I wouldn't be able to judge real light either.
Light breakfast, Pennine socks on. First full outing for the boots I'd repaired and been staring at since last Autumn. Batteries charged, Bottle filled with the strained juice of 13 grapefruit made last night.
Cold and navy blue sky to begin. Set out with no coat (which was needed) Just a tee with a Leicester Tigers jersey.
Loads and loads of wildlife around. Never seen so much activity this time of year.
Good breakfast in the café near home about 0900. Quick sleep, Photos uploaded. Camera cleared and getting ready for the morning.
Today was definitely a good day.
I'm honestly proud to say that I love the world.
-
Sounds awesome! Any chance to have a look at the photos?
-
Thanks Stephanie, it was.
I'm hoping that my pics of the Kingfishers will be good.
Once the week is over I will have a look through and maybe put one or two up.

Heno, good to see you back :)
Heno, where the **** have you been :o

A braw nite for making my mark for democracy. Forgotten that you get two separate votes for the Scottish Parliament. Firstly a first past the post vote for your area then what's called list candidates where you vote for a party to represent all the country these lists candidates are chosen by proportional representation. Think its a good idea you get to pick someone to represent local issues, then you use proportional representation to pick someone to represent national interests in a much fairer way. Take note Westminster !!!
-
Balmy. Welcome at last, spring. I've missed you :-*
-
Lovely driving home from physio therapy with the sterio on and windows down.
Same time last week I was driving home in snow !
:)
-
A decent day weather wise probably somewhere in the high teens. Results in for the Scottish Parliament with the snp a clear winner but 2 seats short of a overall majority. The labour party were totally humiliated being voted into 3rd place with those nasty tories in second (fck what we thinking) . The green party gained a few seats beating the Lib Dems in the process. There were no independent msp's for the first time

Hello stranger :)
Weatherwise, absolutely gorgeous ;D

Cracking the Yorkshire flags today
-
The first truly warm day in Cheshire... and then an evening with gentle summer rain coming down, so a nice walk to cool off..? Nice...
-
Lovely landscape from my top floor kitchen window tonight on a nice, mild, gentle rain kind of evening...
We've got a dazzling sun going down in the west, but there are fierce stormclouds brewing in the east, which my window faces, so we've got all the buildings and trees lit up with a lovely golden glow set against the ominous darkness of the sky... a rare lovely sight in my hometown.
-
Fcking hot - just encouraged more greedy bastards to eat more chips in a certain Ayrshire seaside town
-
Bloody miserable after a weekend of sunshine. It's weird having sunburn when it's cold and damp >:(
-
Sun Sea n chip shops , been wall to wall sunshine for over a week in the west of Scotland (must be a record lol) Rain predicted Tuesday
-
Sunny now.

Blimey Pol, a rare treat for you, its usually the other way around. Weather in the East Midlands has been truly shite all week,
-
Weather in Cheshire is very nice right now...
-
Sadly not much time to enjoy it
-
Sun , sea and sausage suppers lol
-
It's one of those 'close' Summer evenings that don't feel all that hot, yet you still feel a bit sticky and sweaty and are hoping for a bit of rain to cool everything down...
What can I say, I'm a winterlover, I prefer it when it's cold and dark outside and you can shut the world out in your warm little home...
-
Been muggy today in Luton arpund 26 deg
At around 4 pm it started to rain heavily with thunder and lightning
Roads flooded and blocked with submerged vehicles.
Took me 1 1/2 hours to do 6 miles !!!
-
MUGGY! That was the word I was looking for! ;D
Still muggy, but the clouds are gathering and I'm hoping for the clouds to piss it down between now and when I go to bed...
-
Looking like we might actually get rain today, the skies must break soon
-
Hot, very hot. I know I am a soft southern shandy drinking shyster but oof it's blinkin hot ;D
-
Well so much for the rain, the heavy cloud cover soon burnt off n it turned into a fckin scorcher
-
Lovely until it friggin lashed it down at home time.
:(
-
A lot cooler today, still no rain but its definitely on it's way, forecast looking grim for the next week or so
-
Plenty of rain for me today. Fair amount of thunder also .

Is 'I'm laying turf' a euphemism for something naughty? :)
-
Ok. It's -25 C. I heard there's going to be a sun shine next week. I even have three hairdryers inside my car, they're on all the time.
;) ;) ;) ;D ;D ;D
Nah, we even had +27 couple of weeks ago. Very pleasant, sunny and not rains too much.
-
I actually got caught in the rain today nowt too heavy, felt really good for a change. Nevermind its the start of stewarton gala week its bound to piss down. Oh been a murder ( Taggart voice) in stewarton this week n looking like the person who done it has set themselves on fire. Talk o the steamie ( Scottish reference) aboot here
-
Is 'I'm laying turf' a euphemism for something naughty? :)
Well I was on my hands and knees huffing and puffing but no....I really was putting turf down.

You need to get out more dude ;D
-
Today... rain, rain and rain again. Woken up this morning by a furious downpour. Seemed to die off so went over to my local supermarket to do some shopping, got piss-wet-through on the way back. Dried off and, when the sun came out, nipped over to a friends house... and got equally wet on the way back, totally out of the blue.
I suspect that there is such a thing as 'rain gods' and, for some reason, they fuckin' hate me.
;D

So another stewarton gala week comes to end in the rain with the pipe band marching down the main street giving it Scotland the brave, at least it was good for the main day yesterday
-
Grey. It wants to foff by my August hols
-
First proper heavy rain in several weeks with thunder storms
-
July more like fcking February, 14c n constant showers
-
Worst Summer I can remember >:(
-
Fcking hell who switched the oven on, a sultry 28 in stewarton
-
I've been in Nottingham today - 30 degrees. Love it :)
-
One of the hottest nights ever, not even done any evil but was still twisting, this morning the storm clouds were massing definitely wasn't mountains
-
OOf. Not a fan of the heat. Second day of annoying muggy-ness. Combine it with one of my frequent periods of insomnia and I got one hours sleep last night.
Still waiting for one of those immense thunderstorms (with one months worth of rain) that were promised by the newspapers, just to cool everything down for a bit... plenty of black clouds gathering this afternoon over Cheshire, but they all seem to have buggered off... >:(
-
One hour !! you lucky sod. Thats a good night for me. Personally I am loving the heat. Been waiting so long for summer to happen, I am not going to complain about being too hot. Spent all day yesterday walking around a field in Kent. Rosting hot, got some sunburn, drank many litres of water, god knows where it all went. Love it. Burn on :D
-
So it's been between 25 and 35 degrees all week and now as soon as school finishes for summer it's raining.
friggintypical
:(
-
A bit cloudy but still muggy... damn, I'm dreading my next electricity bill after the relentless running of my living room and bedroom fans... :-\
-
28 degrees in Berlin and sunny
-
Hot n wet a bit like a English pint lol
-

On our jollies at the mo in Saujon in France, red hot, current 38 degrees. Nice!!
Zen
-
38 degrees - nice. Fcking hell I couldn't go out the house if it was anywhere near that hot . Last weeks 28 was too much for me
-
It's finally a bit cooler where I am in Germany, about 25°C - and, most importantly, less humid. I like summer but don't like it when it gets too hot, I always feel really sorry for my pets, too.
-
cloudy, with a chance that it is going to get cloudier, before its gets brighter
and thats just my brain
-
thats cool. and hot at the same time
i guess the weather is variable
-
Wow it finally made it to a scorching 20 c in Scotland in what has to be the worst summer ever, think it to even last a few days. Looking after my mates dog for 2 weeks whilst he is on holiday, even managed to take the fat mutt a walk lol
-
scots are always cool
regardless of the weather
-
We just like complaining, were under appreciated after all we have given the world, obesity , liver disease, alcoholism, the junkie, the tramp . The deep fried pizza and mars bar, bagpipes , tartan. Stars of stage and screen - the bay city rollers , Darius, the krankies , john barrowman , Michelle McManus .

Blimey, went all Renton there for a bit didn't you?
'It's SHITE being Scottish! We're the lowest of the low. The scum of the ******* Earth! The most wretched, miserable, servile, pathetic trash that was ever shat into civilization. Some hate the English. I don't. They're just wankers. We, on the other hand, are COLONIZED by wankers. Can't even find a decent culture to be colonized BY. We're ruled by effete arseholes. It's a SHITE state of affairs to be in, Tommy, and ALL the fresh air in the world won't make any ******* difference!'
One of my favourite movie quotes ever.
;D
-
I could sell that to Irvine for the new movie lol
-
Fcking cracking day, got me washing out n all lol , took the dug a couple of walks , the midges were out in force later on though, nearly got eaten alive waiting for the wee man to do his business , he has to do this certain weird routine first lol
-
What dog ? You a daddy again or just babysitting?
-
Just watching benji the beagle for two weeks. He is generally ok but can be a pain at times
-
Well, it may still officially be Summer, but it has rained in the East-mids on and off all weekend. Sod Summer, I am now well and truly ready for the coming of "Winter" in five days :)
-
Sod Summer, I am now well and truly ready for the coming of "Winter" in five days :)
Amen brother :D
-
Fck we have had probably the best week of weather in about two months, great start to the week n sure it ended with lots of sometimes heavy showers at least it was warm
-
Back off holiday and straight into jury service. Weird!!
-
Wee benji is a way back home, mate cut his holiday short due to personal reasons. Kinda miss him even if he was a right pain at times.
-
Just got back from a long weekend in Devon where it was pissy everyday except the last (driving home) . Flippin scorchio here in my garden now.
-
Aye. Feels like Summer today. Even though I am in the middle of "Winter" :)
-
hot, very hot and apparently getting hotter over the next few days, seems might actually see NMA at an outdoor gig without getting rained on a la every time at Beautiful Days :o
-
Can I ask anyone that's interested to vote for the Juice Cabin to get 3 of there flavours through the tpd compliance testing for free. Its a small independent company from Pontefract Yorkshire and this would save them approximately £12,000 and possibly help save there business. I hope the powers that be at nma don't mind me posting this link as Justin vapes n its a local Yorkshire business. Ps they do make excellent juices at great prices and also have great customer service. Thanks

-
Fcking hell were well into Oct n it was still hot today, been doing double shifts stewarton and troon. Troon still fairly busy considering the time of year, think people are making the best of it whilst it lasts
-
Oh, I bloody LOVE foggy autumn nights... just nipped over to the supermarket over the road and to see everything shrouded in that slight dream-like fuzziness and to breathe in some lovely cold air and enjoy how it feels in your throat and lungs whilst seeing trees that never looked more beautiful in their red-and-browniness... damn, autumn is, without a doubt, my favourite season. Just love it.
Cue for a song, anyone..? Aw, you know what's coming... ;)

It's a bit parky round here tonight
-
bloody chilly
-
I'm not saying it's cold out there tonight, but I did bump into a brass monkey who politely asked me if I knew a welder who works out of hours...
-
Only because you have a habit of correcting errors in my posts M/R, a brass monkey would need a brazer, not a welder. 8)

Welders also do brazing lol.similar thing to gas welding but with different rods n a lower heat .
Anyway freezing today, the beginning of winter has came with vengeance, the trees in winter have shed their autumn leaves

7.5 earthquake in New Zealand last night. Didn't feel much up here in the north but parts of the South Island don't look too good. Some towns cut off and communications still down. Hope everyone is ok down there.
-
Its been on the news over here Johnz. Hope its not too bad.
-

Thanks Shush. Luckily the number of casualties appears to be low but the damage to infra-structure is quite substantial. They've already had over 50 aftershocks and this will go on for a few weeks at least. It will hit the tourism industry hard. It's their biggest earner down there and our summer season will start in just a couple of weeks. We're kinda used to earthquakes here but 7.5 is pretty sizeable even for New Zealand.

Blizzards
-
Utterly FOUL, all day! Dark skies, freezing cold and a hard nasty wind driving heavy rain horizontal. And it hasn't let up since this morning, not one bit. Nasty day!
-
OK! Today it's the the day the temperatures will drop again deep down to minus:
Now -11 Celsius, and in between 4:00 PM and 9:00 PM it goes to -16 Celsius. Next Thu apparently going over -20 or so. On next weekend the estimations are snow so it means the temperatures will raise back again near to zero for some time.
Now if everything goes alright we'll have minus for three months and everything's ok.
-
Alright, it dropped down. At morning when I woke up and went to work it was -20 indeed. During midday while working I received a photo from our security cam (due to birds flying near the zone of the camera) and it shows also the temperature in photos. I saw it was still -20. Actually at morning, temperature often will cool more for couple of hours because of sunrise. I can't explain the reason for it.
But, oh what a beautiful shiny day. Few minutes ago I went to check a well that leads to a gutter and if the electric pump works ok beneath in the drainage. And then, at a same time I heard a "strix aluco", an owl, singing/shouting up in a tree. Wow! What an exciting moment.
-
First flurry of snow in probably over a year, only about a inch as per normal everything goes a lot slower, train and buses running late and traffic moving slowly. Thankfully it won't last or the country would grind to a halt.
-
Mild snowfall tonight, but not enough to stick.
-
Had a snow flurry this morning for about 20 minutes :) :)
Just hope everyone, my mother included, on the East Coast escapes the threat of flooding that is forecast with the high tide tonight
-
We had to dig u out this morning to get the door fully open ,the kids climed the fence, to get to school on time as I were taking too long digging the gate open ,we do live : up in the mountains though alston cumbria is the highest market town in Britain so it shouldn't come as a surprise :) :)
-
Its a beautiful 20 degrees in Morrocco. Id glady trade it right now for a sweaty, adrenalin fuelled NMA gig.

Our dear friend Strix Aluco (tawny owl) heard nearby:

Bloody hell, it's cold out there tonight. I mean, proper COLD, and that same cold is filtering into my antiquated flat (where I can only afford to heat one room, the living room obviously) so I think I'm sleeping on the sofa tonight... aw, at least I have a very comfy sofa! ;)
-
Aye, it's a bit parky
-
living indoors as much as i do tends to make weather irrelevant
that is a bad thing
-
Lovely :) Was out in the garden moving shrubs and thoroughly enjoying myself. After a really cold winter (worse than anticipated) was so nice to be out there and it's good to know there is an awful lot to do 8)
-
Nice. Really hope we have a proper Summer this year. I miss them a lot.
-
Woke up this morning, it was bright and sunny, so thought 'yay, day out!' and went over to lovely Shrewsbury for a meander and pub lunch kind of thing... yup, by 1pm, dark clouds, a falling temperature and bloody cold winds. Dammit, Weather Gods, can't I just have a nice sunny day out? :-[
-
A surprise covering a snow in the morning, that led to the usual traffic disruption, thankfully I didn't have to travel anywhere, was mostly all gone by lunchtime. Can't remember having snow here this late into march before
-
Fingers crossed, touch wood n awe that shit but looking like spring has sprung. Buds on branches lambs in fields (yum) n getting towards a tropical 10 c
-
Another cracking day - 3 in a row. Looking like it won't last but its still march.
Other stuff - ordered a new washing machine its coming on the 6th , sorted out my broadband but its the 17th before that's done. Got a lot of stuff moved already
-
Was lovely and no surprise but in the garden again 8)
Thing with gardening is you can think a lot while you're doing it and I got to thinking about the last few years and where I am now. Distance and time gives a different perspective to a helluva lot of things. The world and my world has changed so much in that time is almost unbelievable. Don't have any regrets but sure there's a few things I would change/do different if I could but I doubt there's anyone in the world who wouldn't say the same. I'm so glad I'm where I am now and not in the black place with no light that I lived in.
Life's good :)
-
I remember those days, my friend, and I can't describe how happy I am that they're in your rear-view-mirror.
:D

thank you lovely :-*
-
Getting to think of what used to be n what may yet come true, not really a garden person don't get me wrong other peoples gardens are lovely. Think we live by hopes plans and inspiration maybe gardening is a metaphor plant the seeds n watch them grow and you get back what you put in. Managed to move a couple of chest of drawers, took them apart and rebuilt them still fcking heavy to get 3 flight of stairs. Having a chill out day tomorrow, working early morning then probably head to Glasgow, need to see Rory about my plans for my next tattoo, hopefully he is cool with my idea.
-
Last hints of past winter can be seen on the ground. Only some ice and a little heap of snow I piled up months ago. They'll disappear in few days. +5 Celsius on middays.
It's a fresh and sunny april going on now and all the birds migrating to Finland. :)

The Sun works hard all year and like to have a few days off. Always goes away for a few days over Easter >:(

Another day of moving, internet connected n working (hopefully) . Waiting on the young team coming to lift the heavy stuff for me , having a well earned chill. Oh a snap general election n the Tories have a 20 point lead in the opinion polls (whatever that means) (n Jeremy is almost unvoteable) . Hopefully spending the night in the new flat.
-
Lovely in the sunshine this aft. Spent a pleasant couple of hours at the Marsden cuckoo festival with my boy and friends :)
-
Cracking good weather today, family trip to Chester Zoo as a treat for my niece. Not been there since I was a kid, excellent zoo although bloody pricey. Glorious sunshine all day with just the right amount of breeze. What a lovely day... :)
-
was in Troon working, there was heavy showers including hail and a bitterly cold strong wind
-
Neither it is warm around here. Still only +5 Celsius and wind blows heavily. We even had occasional snowing few days ago.
-
another decent day in sunny ayrshire 16c. tomorrow is my last day working in troon its certainly been getting busier as it hots up.
anything else - still suprised by the local council results in scotland. the tories beating labour n getting 2nd place, and even winning seats in some of scotlands most deprived areas ie shettleston in glasgow n fergusliepark paisley. they even won a seat where the old ravenscraig steelworks was. a big wtf why would less well off areas vote for them.
-
Whoa. Tomorrow we'll get about +22 Celsius and the summer seems to start finally. I can't recall another spring time when it's been as cold as long time as it was now. I've heard there was a similar season in 1980 or -81. Couldn't remember it though.
But now, let the sun shine. 8)
-
Shouldn't complain but it was fckin roasting
-
My weather today? Utterly bloody gorgeous. If I wasn't so damn busy at work, I'd have pulled a sickie and buggered off to the seaside... 8)
-
Typical start to a Scottish summer with mostly heavy cloud cover and constant showers and temps in the mid teens tho feeling humid at times .
Went for a interview for a janitor jobs tho can't see me being pol the mild mannered janny anytime soon, why do they ask such stupid questions
-
A gorgeous sunny day that I enjoyed..but here comes the downside, a hot muggy evening in a tiny flat where opening the windows will make little difference when there's no oncoming breeze and, being someone on a pre-pay meter, I can't afford to keep electric fans running for any length of time...I'm currently sweating like a cat trying to bury a shit on a marble floor.

Still hot as hell despite a brief and disappointing bit of rain earlier... noticed there were a few drops coming down, grabbed shoes and a shirt to revel in the forthcoming downpour whilst nipping over to Asda... nope, it amounted to very little.
Still, the aircon at Asda... heavenly. 8)
-
Well after an absolutely mental storm yesterday, honestly proper nut-nuts with horizontal rain, winter strength wind, thunder and lightning and hail the size of ping-pong balls (or whiff-whaff if your that hunt boris) which damaged a whole lot of stuff in the garden - a;though the tomatoes, cucumbers and other fragile plants seem to have come through unscathed, now we are back to high temperatures and glorious sunshine. Wish I could post a picture of the sky here this evening. Mind you my legs look like they belong to a different body from my torso. Legs are white like an Eskimo whilst my torso is tanned like an Arab :D
-
Fckin pissed down all day - June my arse
Fell right on my arse entering the mall in Irvine as I changed surfaces from pavement to tiles, bruised n scraped 2 fingers, sore hip n knee n felt a right fanny, I should sue the Council Underhand Nasty Twats
June must have been the wettest month this year - Scottish summer you've gotta love it

Don't suppose anyone caught that on youtube Pol ;D ;D ;D ;D
Been very hot and sticky here today - felt like there should be a storm (there wasn't). We had a barbecue and lovely it was too - then I got stung by a bee on my boob! Oh and Keren got a tick bite the other day : frack me but it's like the Bolivian jungle here :D
-
I wonder what the youtube headline would be.
I won't mention boobees lol too late
Still lots of showers here mostly overcast every day n humid for the high teens . Think that's going to be our weather every year from now . Fairly dry mild winters , wet June n July, best weather late spring early autumn. Still working at troon n benji returned home
-
It's raining !
:o
-
Two dry days in a row, reasonable enough temp 17/18 , into the second week of the local hols "Glasgow fair" starts next week. Looks like I will be at troon till the end of the month . The shops been doing ok considering the weather
-
Raining all day, not like proper hard Northern rain, just a relentless depressing drizzle like you get when the clouds just can't be arsed to put on a proper show. ::)

Pissed down all day here (I think) , the rain stayed off when I was in Glasgow n it was humid. Another tattoo session hence the Glasgow visit , finished the small giger babies heads , one more session should finish my arm . As always a massive thanks to Rory and everyone at Terrys
-
PHOTO WHEN IT'S FINISHED PLEASE.
:)
sorry,didn't mean to shout !
:-[
-
Hot and humid...33°C outside, 29° in my office.
Severe weather warnings have been issued, though, it's starting to rain here - which is nice. I hope there won't be too much thunder until I get home - our new dog seems to be scared of thunderstorms. :(
-
Typical.
Broke up from school yesterday and it started to piss it down at lunch time (when the kids went home) and it hasn't stopped since then.

+20 to +24 today. Sunny and little wind.
-
Good Lord, so much rain around these parts over the last few days... and proper 'chucking it down' shit on a regular basis, several times a day.
Put it like this, we don't have any problem with rats... they all get strangled by the octopus.
-
Rain, wind and cold - horrible >:(
-
Hot with maybe 100 humidity and a 30 minute downpour. It said 39 degree celsius but it felt like 45. I often wonder how Malaysians live in it but some hardly sweat.
-
Man flu gone . Phone fixed . Mostly rain , wettest summer ever?
-
Warm and windy ;D
-
The storm clouds are massing, think we are going to miss the worst of it tho
-
How has my weather been today? 'Oddly lit and curious' is the best way I can describe it. It's been fairly warm but with winds that could be hot or cold. And, following an odd looking Sun / Clouds interface this morning, the sunlight has just looked... well, weird, not in any way that you can easily describe, just kind of muted and dull, if that makes any sense. Like someone put a filter over the real world... :o
I know, it's weird, I didn't have magic mushrooms on toast for breakfast, honestly! It's just been an odd looking day and, at the moment, it's just immensely windy with various things blowing up and down the street and car alarms going off left right and centre... :D
-
A really decent day all considered. A murky misty morning followed by a dry slightly sunny day with temps at approximately 15C . Two days left at troon tho have a couple of small things to do next week weather depending
-
Minus. Yep. It went to -3 at couple of recent nights. It could be at -6 at next night.

Bloody hell, cold tonight in Cheshire! Seeing as I can only afford to heat one room in my flat during the cold months, think it might be a night on the sofa for me! ::)
-
Unnaturally warm here in New York. Everybody is putting up Christmas lights outside and no jacket is needed! Our
Decembers are now what our Septembers used to be. New York used to be insanely cold in winter...but now we get just a few bitter cold days.

That's shite - it's only November :(
Was a bit worried coming back from 2 weeks in Las Vegas where the weather was brilliant (70-80 Farenheit) to cold grey Germany but thankfully not too bad here yet. A wonderful 2 weeks in a country that superficially may be similar to UK but really doesn't seem to be at all as far as it is possible to tell from only 2 weeks, 4 states and 1500m in a tiny part of that huge country. Cool times, cool memoories and even a new little bit of ink for a souvenir. Only went cos Keren really wanted wanted to go back to the US but have to say I wanna go again :o

It's fckin freezing here , had to put gloves on to take the bins out
-
I was in Manchester last night and it was SO cold and I went to the gig I was going into with two t-shirts, a thick jumper and a thick leather jacket... I seem to remember the last few winters in the UK have been fairly mild. But this one is a proper bollocks-freezer. Ladies, insert your own definition. ;)
-
Snow from 6 o clock this morning til about 8 o clock tonight. Had to walk a 5 mile round trip. Me legs are bloxxedd!!!
-
It snowed here too yesterday and last night. At morning I shoveled the courtyard but it looks like it will snow again tomorrow or next night. The branches in trees carry a heavy load of snow already and I could hear sounds of fission from trees in forest. Couple of tree tops broke and fell down. Normally trees endure such weight and more too but now the snow is so wet it weighs a lot more than normally. When there's not cold enough the roots are not frozen yet so the trees may become unstable.

That will be "Fanny Freezer"
:D
The snow is still here. We finished school at 3 today and are not going to start until 9.30 tomorrow so everyone can take their time travelling......makes no odds to me because I only live down the road and i walk it.
-
Today it was -17° Celsius, next morning -19° assumably. Forecasts say it is expected to go near to -30° Celsius on next week because of a high-pressure area coming from Siberia. High-pressure is good. Nice, sunny and beautiful without winds or storms.
-
Probably the best day of the year here , although it was it bit colder when I was in Glasgow. Booked a tattoo for a week on Friday when I was there .

That'll be the freezing, windy and snowy weather that we're forecasted to get next week
Said this morning on TV that it's an Artic blast and temps could drop to as low as -8
-
A full 25 degrees over normal February temperatures here in New York. Set a record. Tomorrow is supposed to be even warmer.
I have no idea what it is, but the climate here in NY is all messed up. Two months ago we had a stretch of the coldest winter temps on record; today and tomorrow we have the warmest winter temps on record. Wearing shorts in February tomorrow. This weather here is not normal. Scary almost.

It seems you're sending some of that our way, too.
I am not complaining, mind you - I love cold, sunny winter days. It's not going to be THAT cold...but still.
Looking out of my office window at the Rhine, it's a tad misty but sunny. -2°C, I think. Already had a lovely dog walk much earlier and I which I could be out with the dogs later instead of sitting here - but it seems I'll have plenty of time for that at the weekend. :)

New York cold is unforgettable for me.2 years ago I was trying to smoke outside the hotel and I couldn't even finish my cigarette as a hard smoker.I can't imagine NY and hot/warm together :D
-
New York cold is unforgettable for me.
Yeah, we get extremes here. Bitter, bitter life ending cold in winter, and then we get can't even leave the house heat and humidity in summer.
I always think of my fellow Americans in parts of Hawaii or Florida or parts Alaska and how they essentially have just one wardrobe. Here in NY we have the heaviest winter coats, sweaters, gloves, scarfs and snow boots along with sandals and shorts and multiple swimsuits. At the end of the season we "put away our winter clothes" (box them up) and take out our summer clothes. I wonder if you folks across the pond do the same.
-
Well we do. Still have all the 4 seasons. But the latitude is also norther here where I reside. Not maybe burning hot summers but some of it too.
But as we know it's not only about the latitudes. Climates have gone so distorted. We face more often extreme sides of seasons and weather phenomenons. :-\
-

Well, in some odd way I am glad to hear that. It's not just us getting clobbered with insane extremes. We are all in this together. That's how things get solved.

yeah born and raised here in Türkiye I grew up in mediterranean climate and luckily we have 4 seasons too.I love all seasons have no favorite one but as an Agean it's great being in the seaside in summer and right after get up walk to beach and jump into the sea.It makes everything okay.
-
So the beast from the East has arrived, we avoid the worst just. All trains cancelled in central Scotland, red alert don't travel warnings. Fairly thick powdery snow with a bitting cold strong wind causing drifts. Gotta say fckin freezing with the wind chill factor -12c .
-
Had 2 days of heavy snow and biting winds
All major and trunk roads in Lincolnshire have been blocked today
Hopefully over the worst of it and getting better soon
-
Very fine powdery snow, after not a lot all week. Traffic is slowing to a crawl as the world starts to look a bit white. And more to come in the next couple of days.
Over to Peter O'Hanraha Hanrahan with Politics....

Nice pop culture reference, sir!
Not much snow over here in Cheshire but that wind is really kicking in, hard enough to make the windows rattle, and it's SO bitingly cold. Popped over to ASDA just now which takes less than five minutes and I genuinely got a headache by the time I got there...
-
Just checked thermometer I've got outside and we've been down to -8!!!

Great show!!! Its the wind causing drifts here. We've had less than a cm of snow but its killed the traffic and where the wind has blew it we have 6 inch drifts. Its so powdery its untrue.
-
My school closed at 12 yesterday and is closed today (yay!)
Lots of very fine snow being whipped up into little tornados, very pretty to watch but cold as **** if you're out there.
Looking out of my front window it's very patchy with drifts about a foot deep in my neighbours garden,dusted over mine, the road is covered and the path is compleatly clear on one side of the road but deep enough to cover your shoes on my side. It's all down to which way the wind has whipped it up.
I might venture down the garden to look at the outside thermometer.

We live in englands highest village nent head in Cumbria 1500 ft ,it has snowed every day all day for a week we have to literally dig our way out the door through 10 ft high drifts all roads out and in are cut off from snow ,we can't see out it looks like blankets of white cotton wool covering the Windows, on the telly I see red weather alerts for other places but ours looks so much worse . It is worse than any snow I've seen in 15 years I've lived here,I just don't know when or how we are going to get out. There is a tiny shop basically the shelves are empty luckily I had a well stocked freezer but soon we will have used everything I'm hoping the snow stops soon ,even my two dogs who love walkin I snow have to be pushed out by force it's scary,because now it's blowing a gale ,we have a freezer in the garage opposite the house You have to dig a passage then dig to open the door ,when you get back in the house your eyelashes are frozen,within half an hour all your digging is covered by more snow :o ???🌨🌨🌨🌨🌨🌨🌨🌨

Stay safe Purplehaze I hope things get better for you soon.

I hear you having a lot of snow and cold. In a case your buildings are not build to take cold very much, please if you don't mind may I give few tips to you around there?
Here:
Water
During cold and when it gets deep to minus temperature it can (and will) freeze the pipes in your house if you don't have any special insulation for them and the pipes go outside "naked" or even too near the inside of a wall. They do not freeze immediately necessarily but possibly at the time when it's getting warmer and the temperature reaches back near to +/- 0 Celsius. So there should be some insulation at least. Few centimetres thick is enough. It should cover the pipe everywhere literally. (Just don't use metal as it can absorb the cold and it gets even colder...) But if the pipes freeze and you'll find out there's not coming warm water at all in your house and you start to heat the pipes, don't heat it with a very hot source or the pipe will break and you'll get a water leak in your house. For a surprise it's actually the warm pipe that freezes first not the cold one. Plus also, if you'll keep water flowing a bit all the time that will prevent a pipe freezing.
Frozen locks
You may face that locks are not working as they freeze (because they're metal). Then you should get VERY hot water put inside a plastic bag. Press the hot water bag against the lock and hold it that way about a half minute or longer.
Snow cover
Snow is a good insulation for drainage that runs (too) near beneath the surface. Just push snow on the way the pipeline goes. Snow itself isn't bad it's the cold and how to get prepared for that.
Possibly you don't need these tips, but in a case there's a gonna be more times like this in the future (maybe some drastic change with the weather and seasons during these crazy times?) who knows, and then this kind of things matter a lot for daily life. I'm quite sure there will be more things like this as there have been several times eras of deep froth taking over Russia and north of the States. Just think that it could come to Europe or elsewhere too. There are places in Siberia where temperatures go to -50 C to -70 C almost each year so who knows...
The coldest we had this winter here is -22 C. Now it's -13 C and should get warmer after Sunday.
PS. Not meant to be arrogant or anything, just trying to give a bit of advice if the things'll get nasty.

Looks like the coldest place is in Omyakon in Siberia: http://www.news.com.au/technology/environment/natural-wonders/welcome-to-the-coldest-inhabited-place-on-earth/news-story/4c67aadee3a38d6ed039fa8b1f5375a1

Most of the snow gone . Trains only running 1 per hour. Train to Glasgow was delayed n came into the wrong platform. Glasgow city centre was a nightmare trying to walk - fckin council could have cleared at least a decent path . Got a cpl of new tattoos (link soon hopefully). Train home cancelled had to wait an hour for the next one - went to the solid rock for a irn bru plus u can vape in there n the music was good.

In the middle West Midlands, its practically a lovely spring day. The snow after creating mayhem for two days, went in two days

I've been hearing a lot about Nenthead as I'm friends on FB with the landlady of your local pub, the Miners Arms. We used to be at school together ! It does look unreal up there, but it looks like the community spirit has been fantastic. Hope you get a decent thaw soon. Sadly I've seen today that there's been a major fire at the Hartside Cafe, and it looks like it's burnt down :'(
-
Very dark morning.Meteorology&news were warning for today the whole country would be under heavy rain storms.Sky looks dark grey and clouds look like there comes a thunder&lightning show very soon.Good that no work today or tomorrow.Beautiful day to visit some old NMA stuff which I haven't looked for a while.
-
Pretty mellow here in South Cheshire, but I'm sure that the likes of The Daily Mail will be telling us that 'Hurricane Deathbastard' is on it's way soon (yesterday they told us that a new strain of flu 'could' kill 300 million people this year... emphasis on 'could', I suppose ::) )
-
just came back from indonesia where is always warm and amazing. place people and weather. in berlin it was sunny when it was minus 10 only..................otherwise mainly greay rain wind etc. same old shit

Where in Indonesia were you Simon?
As you say an amazing place, and amazing people. Absolutely love Jakarta, will be back there in a few weeks. Never strayed off of Java though. My missus is from Bandung and has been to quite a few of the smaller islands, although not all of the 17,000 she says there is! Might be taking a hop over to Bali this time too.
-
It's been a quite nice weather during the winter season. If you could say a season was "succesful" it was now. It has stayed in minus temperature for 1,5 months or even longer. We've had snow all the time for 3 months. It's almost like it used to be 30 years ago.
Now it will go up and down. 0°C today, tomorrow -4°C, Thu water and wet snow. On Sat it will be -18°C but then again going to plus on Sun. Next Tuesday -16°C. Crazy.
-
Spring seems to have started (fingers crossed) definitely a bit warmer even if it's only 8c . Had the windows open most of the day n didn't put the heating on till evening. Got the dreaded meter readings email. Surprisingly I'm still slightly in credit.
-
Fckn hell 2 weeks n counting of almost non stop hot days , us pasty skinned Scots aren't designed for this , does make you feel good to a certain extent tho , good to out in a t shirt showing off the tattoos lol
-
Still fckn boiling here very little rain in the last month or so .
Survived a fckn painful tattoo session today ( inner bicep ) about 5 hours including a few short breaks ( hopefully post pic soon ) thanks as always to Rory and all at terrys tattoos Glasgow

Damn, it's hot here today and even with a couple of fans going, it's still a bit like this...

Summer has finally arrived over here in Jersey (well until the weekend according to forecast)..It is not as hot as the rest of U.K. we have a breeze coming in,and keeping Temp.to 25 Deg. UV is a very high 8,so their will be plenty of people looking like Lobsters. :)
-
Fuckin Hot !
-
Hottest day for 2 decades apparently in Scotland, tomorrow is to be warmer fh
-
Absolutely fckn boiling , had to take the train into Kilmarnock n returned a sweat soaked mess , can see why I never want to go anywhere hot on holiday, how the fck do people cope
-
I really struggle to sleep when it's hot so after a few nights of this, I'm feeling a bit zombiefied... I swear, if there's a lovely refreshing rainstorm anytime soon, I'll go out walking in it in shorts and a T-shirt...
-
Keep your eyes peeled for the Fashion Police.......... ;D
-
Shirts are an optional extra around here ! 8)
-
Hot, way too hot - and yes, I am allowed to complain about the heat because I never complain about the cold. ;D
Seriously, I realise complaining about the weather is a waste of energy and I try not to - but this is...tough. I feel especially bad for my pets - 2 of my dogs find it very hard to handle these temperatures and I am a bit worried for my oldest dog with heart issues.
Currently around 30°C - it's suposed to go down by 1 or 2 degress - but no rain or really cool temperatures in sight.Sitting at my desk with a small fan - looks silly but who cares? ::)
-
Yeah my part time dog Benji is suffering, hasn't been below the mid 20s all week with a high of 33 . I get him cones from the shop downstairs, he likes to sleep behind the sofa .
-
Pol, you've got a 'part time dog'? What the f**k is he the rest of the time? ;)
Is this the third or fourth week of relentlessly hot days in the UK? I've never seen it like this, every single lawn or field I see just like scorched straw.
-
Think he's a pig the way he eats n snorts about looking for food lol . He belongs to downstairs neighbour , I look after him when they are on holiday plus he can open the front door n visits several times a day
-
Ah yes that rare breed, The Porker Spaniel..........
-
Porker beagle lol.
-
33°C outside - but hey, apprently it only feels like 32°C! ;D That's a relief!
29.7°C at my office - I think I have reached melting point.
That's not the end of it, though, Thursday and Friday are supposed to be even hotter. :o
-
Glad it's a good bit cooler in Scotland
-
I love a good Summer and moan like billy-oh when its a poor Summer like last year. But, this is now getting to be like hard work. I just cannot sleep at night with the heat. I am now trying to sleep down stairs where it is slightly cooler and can grab 2-3 hours a night -- if I am lucky. :o
-
Humidity is about %85 now and Im melting.They turned the city to a concrete jungle by endless constructions and buildings and ground can't breath.Huge rains in last two days.We are rapidly becoming a monsoon climate land. >:(
-
Back to relentlessly hot today (and tonight) after a cool and wet day yesterday. I made a point of a good long walk yesterday evening in the wonderfully cool rain. Bliss.
-
Oh, what I would do for a cool and wet day... :(
36° today and also expected for the next days...
-
It's been cold today, probably about 5 degrees C then at 2 pm the weather picked up and went up to 24 degrees C. Then again it's been similar for 21 years for me, well the 5 degrees c bit has as I celebrate that amount of years in my current workplace on the 28th, although celebrate probably isn't the correct word, commiserate is closer to it. I've worked in a cold warehouse for that many years so when we have the best spell of weather that I can remember in my lifetime, 50 years, I appreciate knocking off and coming out into the glorious sunshine we've been having in this part of the world. It's not quite the same finishing work during the cooler months as it can be a bit depressing coming out of the cold into the cold and also the shorter days don't help either, so yeah, I'm absolutely loving this and long may it continue.

Flippin Hot.

36° today and also expected for the next days...
I hear you! The stretch of Rhine I reside at is supposed to be experiencing 39°C today...and the fireworks that normally start an annual town fest here has been cancelled. Mind you, very sensinble decision, given how dry it is! :o
-
Thanks for that Stephanie - we were going to go after we had been to the Tiger & Turtle to see the Blood Moon :)
Thermometer read 37.7 this afternoon :o :( I'm not good with this heat ;D
-
Another uncomfortable day... but there are dark and heavy clouds gathering on the Cheshire horizon, the breeze seems to be blowing them my way and a friend on another Forum indicates that there was a big downpour in Yorkshire a few hours ago...
Please, Weather Gods, a massive and torrential gush of your finest rain? Pretty please? :-*
-
The storm clouds have broken here with thunder and lightning. Still really humid tho , quite a bit of flash floods already
-
Rain !
:o
-
No proper storm but a relentless rain today and a nice cool wind. The air feels better already. :)
-
its been that awkward cross over period today ,, shorts or trousers :-\
-
Thanks for that Stephanie - we were going to go after we had been to the Tiger & Turtle to see the Blood Moon :)
Oh, never been there - can you believe that? Good spot to watch the moon I bet! Did you go?
Still hot here, we did get a little rain a couple of days ago but not enough...and the forecast - frustrating. Unless you like this heat which I sure don't. :P
-
Warm, humid and raining and that's how it's staying all day so if you're coming to see Justin later on, bring yer brolly or summut dry to change into after the gig (or buy a shiny new t-shirt from the venue).

Handing back to you in the studio.

*please read this next bit in the voice of Will Ferrell in 'Anchorman'...*
Thank you Pagan Dawn! Enjoy that pop show later on! Here, in Cheshire, it's gone somewhat colder and the same people who were moaning about how hot it has been for the last couple of months are now just as whiney about feeling cold. I guess some people are never satisfied. Now, sports!
-
Beautiful day 21 c in October in Scotland wtf . Had a bit of a shit day at work but got there
-
Sitting watching the small boats bobbing gently in the harbour,water rippling in the wind,heavy grey skys overhead,Autumn has arrived here in Jersey.........
-
Utterly pissing it down for the last couple of hours. So, with tedious inevitability, THIS is the day when I set out on a lovely sunny morning for my usual 30 minute walk to work and think 'nah, I won't bother with an umbrella or a waterproof coat...'
The expression 'drowned rat' doesn't even cover it right now.
-
It's wet and windy a bit. There were few nights it dropped below zero. -4 couple of weeks ago and it went to -2 twice last week but it's normal during this time of the year. Now it's been actually +11 to +15 couple of days.
-
Just got back home from Grantham. Peed down for 4 hours and a bit taters too.
-
Winter is coming
-
Chilly !
-
Not too bad at the moment here in Britains South Sea Island ;D.........expected to reach 10 deg.today.
-
Beautiful sunny day here in Cheshire... somewhat cold as well, but I find the combination of bright sun and cold wind rather refreshing... and is odd of me that I like wearing my big green parka and shades at the same time? Rather a cool look, IMO... and I so rarely look cool. 8)
-
Still smoke in the air from the wildfires but not like an ashtray like last weekend, air still rated "unhealthy". I still can't get my head around all the death to people and animals :'(
-
Beautifully warm day on Aberystwyth beach today. Swanning about in a t shirt :-\. Whats that about in mid November????
-
Should have went skinny dipping lol
-
Should have went skinny dipping lol
Are you kidding? I cant afford shrinkage ;D
-
Fckn cold especially with the wind chill . Got my new glasses today gonna take a bit of getting used to, giving me a sore head and the ground etc looks strange when I'm walking about, looks like the ground etc is on a slope when it isn't. Apparently they take a week or two to get used to, they are comfortable enough to wear n normal/ distance vision is excellent

Beautiful winters day with some frost in the morning.

Bloody warm here in Spain. Although I felt a slight chill and had to put me vest on.
-
Mild so far here in not so sunny Jersey.........have'nt had any heating on for 2 weeks,p*****g down at the moment,but not cold Temp.9 / 10 Deg. so,cannot complain.

One of the best easter weekends ever ? A tropical 20c plus in Ayrshire , was out n about with my shorts on lol, got a few funny looks ( nowt new) maybe the tattoos or the non hairy legs lol ( art isn't hairy) ,apparently we have another 2 days of it .
-

A beautiful morning,tide up,just gazing at the sun on the water..............

Yup, another surprisingly hot Easter round these parts...
And thank God I do check my spelling before I post things because it originally read 'a hot Easter around these pants' which brings up all sorts of disturbing connotations... :-\

Happy Easter with an real egg

Some delightful thunderstorms and hailstorms in the Est Midlands today. :)
-
Same here, had THREE huge thunderstorms today, all of them violently throwing down hail... in fact I got caught in one of them, took cover in a bus shelter. Now, I'm not exaggerating here when I say that the blast of thunder that went off whilst I was there was the very LOUDEST thing I've ever heard in my life. And I went to see Motorhead live a few times! I'm not remotely scared of thunder but I literally found myself crouched down with my hands over my head. My ears were ringing for about half an hour afterwards.
And now it's a quite pleasant Spring evening... I do like the way a good storm clears the air!
-
Flippin windy !
-
The thermometer on my fence in the back garden has gone off the scale at 50 degrees.
Scorchio

Had quite a good thunderstorm last night here in the South. I love them normally, but your experience above reminds me of a particularly violent thunderstorm a few years ago that started off fine and normal, but it was low and came directly over the house. There was one almighty crack of thunder that sounded and felt like a bomb going off over the roof of the house ! Not only excessively loud, but I could feel the air pressure pressing on my ear drums painfully. It had me wincing, and going "ok, that's enough now, pleeeeease STOP !!!" :o
-
A chilly 27 deg.today as opposed to a balmy 35 deg.yesterday.. ;D....
-
Genuinely quite fierce sun in South Cheshire this afternoon... but early this AM was a really impressive lightning storm. My kitchen window overlooks the Cheshire Plain and (outside of one storm I saw in Florida couple of decades ago) it was magnificent. Not all that much thunder but a near constant barrage of lightning flashes and occasional forked lightning, much have gone on for about 30 minutes. I've never seen anything like this around these parts... :o
-
We had it on Tuesday night. Lightning was a bit pants though. Best storm I ever saw was in Bulgaria. The lightning came in a shade of purple that lit the whole sky up.
-
A rather artic like 28c in Ayrshire. Thank fk I'm not down south, that was fckn roasting enough. Keep your 38 I wouldn't be able to go out. Enjoyed out with the shorts and nma t shirt on tho.
-
Jeez, I'm melting. Can't remember the last time I was this hot. I live just over the road from ASDA and, no joke, I just popped over there to get some shopping that I didn't really need just so I could wander around in the air-conditioned chilled section for a while. If I thought I could get away with it, I'd have taken a sleeping bag and a pillow and said 'just leave me here for the night, the cleaners can work around me...' ;D

Lashing it down.
I'm in Huddersfield !

We were getting washed away in north Cheshire. Better today though.
-
South of France, 31°c at 1PM... here, too much hot, again and again and again and again...
-
North Wales. Its a bit cloudy but very humid
-
Northern Tasmanian lowlands....pouring down, which is lifting the temperature to a roasting-hot 2 degrees overnight...
-
Back in Wiltshire.
Sunny. warm, showery.
Not bad.
-
Horizontal rain !
:o
-
Very strong winds forecast here in Jersey tonight.............a couple of my mates are at Fairport Conventions Cropredy Festival......NOT looking good there....thunder storms and strong winds,hope they have pegged their tents down well ;D....
-
Aw, heck, it's gone all hot and muggy and airless in South Cheshire. Fans turned up to the max.
-
Hot !

Hot, Muggy and Airless again in South Cheshire.
Sidenote... sounds like the worst solicitors firm ever.

It's cooling off nicely here. Some trees have a bit of their leaves turning already and it's not even September
Fall is my favourite time of year
-
the earliest days of spring, here in tasmania, up in the north...
around 0-ish overnight, most nights, but noticeably getting a bit warmer the last 2 weeks through the day - had my first moment thinking 'oh, best get my shorts out of the box' 2-ish days back....
nice but, well, winter is something fc7in real, getting older, getting wiser (so-called) and when you're looking another summer in the face...

Force 7 to gale force 8 winds,plus heavy rain.........same for tomorrow...Winter is coming...
-
It's our usual coolness here, that late autumn freeze that more and more reminds rather winter than autumn. It's beautiful (the tree leafs, nature and skies) although darkness sweeping over makes you to try to remember sun and summer. Theres a two month period we can't literally see the sun at all. Just a dim light reflecting from the clouds.
We've had now cold (minus celsius) about ten times. First it was a month ago in September. Now It's more than usual. But lasting snow will often come until Dec or at least January first week. Sometimes It's as early as in October.
-
Almost the end of november and no signs of winter.A dry season.No rains and that means drought.Everyday is sunny and still t-shirts and shorts are wearable.Dont know if this is good or bad.

I think it just is. There was a huge amount of snow just recently in france and spain. Also in austria, like a week ago just suddenly 60cm snow. I was there in 2012, went to work in a youth hostel and arrived like a week before christmas. no snow, much sun, we were working on the house outside in t-shirts, did sun-bathing and all of a sudden overnight, everything was white...
i think it's not good to think about climate in a global way, because it's constantly changing and more important, it's always different and moving in different areas.

Yes,you are right.It is always changeable.Born in a 4 season country I used to think I like all seasons but in years I moved to a bit summer person.Warm weather makes living easier in some ways especially if you're living in a chaotic city like Istanbul.

Crazy dark skies here in NZ from the Australian bushfires. It's 3 in the afternoon in mid-summer and I have to turn the lights on to read. Can't imagine how bad it must be for people across the ditch. It's 2000km away!
I don't know how to post pictures on here but here's an idea of what it looks like: https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/118593619/australia-bushfires-more-smoke-on-its-way-to-new-zealand

I've got relatives down under. Hoping to get in touch with them this week. It's truly frightening everything that's going on in the world right now, be it caused by / due to nature OR mankind. :'(
-
Windy. Very windy. Windier after my arse after a Chicken Dopiaza and eight pints of lager. Seriously, I'm thinking my windows might crash in at some point. :-\
-
Windy here in Jersey....more chicken korma and four pints of lager ;D...
-
Pissed it down 3 days in a row, looking like a 4th , maybe I'll get out walking
-
In the words of The Good Old Grateful Dead ''Summertime Has Come And Gone''...here in Jersey..
-
Damn, it's hot in Cheshire today.
-
Fookn roasting well for Scotland anyway
-
It has been really hot here in Jersey the last few days.....expecting thundery showers today..
-
Sweating my arse off in Prague for over a week now... +32 and humid during days... More than ever I'm glad to work at nights :)
-
Sunny day in Ayrshire tho only 12c atm.
Me - still trying to lose weight and get fitter, still walking most days weather permitting, exercise bike n general exercise, going to pick a mountain bike today.
Weight is currently under 85k , I was over a 100k so definitely getting there, aiming for 80k . Dieting has been easy, exercise definitely tough
-
Well done Pol on the weight loss thing, keep it up and keep going keeping it off.
Cheers
jc
-
I lost a bit over 2 stone in the latter half of 2019... was SO happy with that...but the boredom factor of 2020's lockdown has led to binge-eating and, subsequently, I've put much of it back on again... :-\
-
Thanks Jack.
Ray I used the boredom to go out n go walking, been out on my mountain bike the last couple of days, definitely tough n makes you realise how fit you were when young, the roads are a disgrace n its quite hilly about here but I'm gradually going further.
-
This morning - went over to the local cinema at about 11.30, bright sunny and warm day with a nice breeze. Had a walk around before the film, what a lovely day, had 'beer garden' thoughts about what to do afterwards...
Came out at about 3pm... grey clouds, freezing cold, harsh winds, everything pissing wet through and STILL pouring down.
Ah, British weather, you never fail to surprise me. ;D
-
Cleared up here about mid day , went out cycling, my biggest cycle since early teens, just stayed local as don't have any spare tubes etc. Cold wind at times, a few tough hills n didn't piss off too many drivers, probably done about 10 miles

Just read your other thread. Patches are a life and space saver!
Here in Cornwall, nice clear day with blue skys. Off to visit Tintagel Castle, Lands End and the Men an Tol while im here for a few days.
-
I came to work an hour ago and was shocked to realise that street lights were on... Darkness is creeping in earlier and earlier, I just hadn't paid attention to the fact. I think that still like week ago I had sunglasses resting on my head when came to work... But on the other hand, when I was walking to metro station, the sky was Amazing! :)
-
Beautiful day in sunny Ayrshire, went out my regular walk , glad I had my water bottle with me , gonna go a wee cycle once the rush hour dies
-
Sunny but windy force 5 at times, not cold so can't complain.... :)..
-
Temps.really dropped in the last few days.....yesterday was the first time i have found it cold had to put on a sweat shirt instead of normal tee.The forecast says it is 16 deg.does'nt feel like it,mind a force 6/7 wind probably not helping.........Autumn just around the corner..
-
First signs of autumn/winter definitely kicking in, temps have really dropped max of about 10c , trees are really starting to shed there leaves , two layers definitely required for longer walks especially with the wind coming from the north.
-
Cold crisp mornings when the sun is bright in the sky.... love it!
-
Storm Alex lashing Jersey storm force 9 winds with the prospect of force 10.A months worth of rain forecast to fall in 3 days,roads closed sailings suspended no reports of any damage as yet.As i cannot get out i will have to use my imagination regarding meals......you can always make something, plus a chance to see what is lurking in the icy depths of my freezer...mmmm....?.. ;D...
-
Pissing down all day. >:(
-
Pissing down all day. >:(
It peed down for 24hrs near enough. I was at work the night before. Drove to Hednesford yesterday. Awful.
-
Not enough rain at all for 3 years now … here in the part of Germany I live the trees are dying … makes me sad every day …
-
Feckn freezing this morning, out on the bike about 8.30 thought my hands were going to fall of , my head was freezing going down hill into the head wind , time to invest in better gear.
-
Tell me about it, the boiler is on the blink!
Fired up the gas fire for the first time in 6 years. Screwfix tomorrow for a CO alarm.
-
Aw, gorgeous Autumn-y weather here in Cheshire, nice and crisp in the morning but never too cold, nice and mild throughout the day. And those colours in the trees! My fave time of year, deffo. ;)
-
Already wearing my winter jacket...
Started pissing rain, just when I have to go home soon. Otherwise I wouldn't mind but I decided to wear my lady-shoes today. However, they're not very new ones. They're, well, well-marinated. If they get wet, trust me, you do not want to be nearby when I take those off :(
-
Well marinated lady shoes... ;D...
-
Indeed ;D I mean, there must be market for that, right? ;D
-
Not so sure ?.............think hand knitted socks would be your better option.. ;D...
-
Back on topic...it is lashing down here in Jersey,mild after a few coldish days,so no heating on yet.. :)..
-
Wet, cold then sunny and cold. I dont know where years gone. It only seems like 5 minutes ago that we were looking forward to summer.
And then we all got locked away to miss it.
-
Yep,it sure has been a strange year...........with more of the same to come i fear..
-
After a good week or so of constant rain its been dry tho cold n not too windy the last 3 days . Done about 10 miles each day on the specialized rockhopper, legs definitely feeling it but all good. Planning on keeping the weight down n fitness up through the winter
-
Third bright sunny day in a row here in Jersey,lovely clear blue sky.....a bit nippy first thing,but still not cold enough yet for heating to be put on....... :)...
-
Really cold , 4c but feeling like 2c ( according to the phone) , used the sunny day to exercise, cycling about 15 mile including a well steep hill , hard to breathe when the air is so cold , then went a 6 mile walk, normal route, calf muscles not happy lol
-
Sooo foggy I can barely see the pub across the street... Wanted to enjoy a sunny day and go for a long walk but ended up cleaning at home instead >:(
-
Mostly dry this week, cold tho 2-8 c , not too windy, got a decent amount of exercise in , still struggling with cardio but slowly improving, still breathing out my arse on the steeper hills lol
-
Loving the smell in the air when temperature drops below zero... Waiting for snow but clear skies so far.
Also today I found, fixed & washed my old, favourite leg warmers... I'm ready! :)
-
Do the leg warmers go with the well marinated lady shoes ? ?..... ;D

Not my weather but maybe Pol's......?..Thundersnow ??.just watching it on BBC..a new one on me..
-
Thankfully on the east coast, light morning snow here
-
Bloody freezing, at least dry n not windy, out on bike had to stay on the main roads as the smaller 1s were too icy, trying to get rid of the xmas excess
-
Wet and very windy here in Jersey,Temp.also dropping....heating now on...
-
Snowwwwwwww :) :D

Snowwwwwwww :) :D
Has a tiny bit last night here in Cheshire but I suspect those clouds are coming this way tonight...
-
All good here, had a tough January but got thru it ,

-
Very wet........but mild 12 Dgs.today,hardly had any heating on yet....It tends to get colder here in Feb.and March.....
-
Snoooowwww! :D Can't remember how many years ago it was last time when there was snow on the ground for so long in Prague... Today walking to supermarket I was practically wading in snow through the parking lot - what a cosy feeling! Yesterday coming back home from friend's place, decided to walk few metro stops further as the weather was nice. Pavements were rather icy than snowy so it was penguin-style but totally worth it :)
-
Beginning to question my sanity after going out cycling today , still managed about 15 mile/ 25km , its was about 2c with a wind chill of -5c with a blustery 25-30kmph wind especially on the open country roads, really struggled with the head wind n hills on the way home, character building some mite say .

It is finally feeling cold here.....forecast today 2 Deg./day...0 Deg./night.....slight risk of a snow shower....brrrr.
-
Sunny day in the 70s, low humidity, light breeze out of the east
Very pleasant day
-
A light dusting of snow last night...........cold today it is minus 2 Deg.at present...
-
Today -7 and was mostly sunny... Still snowy! Night temperature should drop to -20 on Sunday...but who cares when there's a curfew anyway...
As I happened to be in the city centre, I couldn't resist the urge to go for a walk as it was so beautiful outside! Not that there's anything wrong with going for a walk, just that I have currently some problem with my foot - I twisted it while having a rough wrestling match with my friend's hyper-active young Belgian shepherd. Which was awesome of course, but now the damn dog llluuuvs me ;D And my foot does hurt quite a bit after the walk... Totally worth it though.
Unfortunately the camera of my donated smartphone is crap, but it was fun to walk around playing a tourist and take pics - I also found the wall of eyes :)

Seems like Spring is coming early here in South Cheshire... some lovely winter sun mornings, just cold enough to be bracing but not too cold as to be unpleasant... turning to 'very mild and sunny' in the middle of the day... and some nice sunsets as we fade back into 'chilly'... very nice. :)
-
Beautiful almost spring day in sunny Ayrshire, cold morning about 4c with a light ground frost , a light easterly breeze 10kmph , out cycling about 9 30am avoiding the early
traffic, got just over 27km in the bank , fitness getting a bit better, new low rolling resistance tyres helping tho
-
Sunny but cold when you're out of the sun.
The weather has been all over the place over the last few days with warm sun, freezing nights, snow, hail all within moments !
-
April weather, was like plus 20 last week but it's been snowing past four days :-\
-
Five lovely sunny-yet-cool days in a row and the trees around me are bursting full of spring colours. Nice.
-
Last year we had covid but good weather in Berlin. This one more covid and generally shitty weather cold and windy most of the times. enough said.
-
Sunny for the last week...........but VERY windy....

WTH... At any rate, the weather's better than last night in south Moravia... A tornado??? :o

Persisting down here in not so sunny Jersey.............Flaming June ::)....

Pissing it down for two days here in Cheshire.
To be honest, I'm OK with it.... it's been a couple of hot weeks and I'm not a fan of hot weather.

I completely agree - pissing rain's better that heat...
Tomorrow's gonna be around thirty, then should cool down and start raining, looking forward :)
-
Not for me i love the sun/heat...i have just read that June was one of the wettest on record here in Jersey....and the way July has started more of the same i think.. ::)...
-
Yesterday evening was wonderful pouring summer rain... Enjoyed the tram ride back home, watching rainy cityscape through fogged-up window I kept wiping with my hoodie sleeve, listening to Surrounded. Woke up three o'clock at night to massive thunder storm. This morning the air was cool and fresh :)
-
Holy crap, I just saw video footage of damages caused by the tornado at the end of June in CR... I've always thought that I've lived in places where I exactly don't need to prepare for tornadoes but bloody hell...

Currently... Wow, I cannot remember seeing a thunderstorm like this :o Roll of thunder is constant, lightnings flashing a few times per second long time already and doesn't seem to end very soon... Chilling out in darkness, staring out of the window, listening to Navigating by the Stars...

Weather here is not great. 50-100 kilometers to the east, in the Walloon part of my country, it's an apocalypse though...
