Today's snow view

[ostarella]

When looking at the sidewalks, please bear in mind they were totally clear the day before yesterday - and then yesterday we got snow and wind. That stick by the sapling (SE View) is just under four feet high, so you can see how much snow we've got left - yeah, some has melted). High temp today is supposed to be 2F - yes, TWO degrees F. So those sidewalks are going to stay filled in for a couple days...

We've got it worse. :D

How many inches have you had up in Newcastle?

[beckyblack]

In undisturbed spot, it looks like at least 8 still there. And this is the second lot! The snow we had over Christmas had just gone away when they lot arrived and just kept coming.

We didn't really get that much before Christmas... I measured three inches in my front garden Wednesday. We haven't had any more yet, but we're west coast, and obviously much souther than you ;-) But usually ours doesn't stick around long... but it's still here. My road is like an ice rink! It is far from melting at the moment.

8 inches? Might have a little ways to go before you catch up to us ;-)

Heh, I suppose so. :D The cold is the thing here though. It's much colder than normal. Barely above 0 (celcius) even during the day. Was about -9 here last night and still about -5 on the way to work this morning. But parts of Scotland went down to -22! Aargh! That's way too cold for us.

It's actually warming up a bit the next few day - but, with increases wind, so the windchill comes in and makes it feel even colder. Waaah!

I hear you on that windchill! I could actually deal with the cold (well, kinda) if there was no wind.

Apparently Australia is having a heatwave right now. And being Australia that presumably means the kangaroos and deadly spiders have started bursting into flames and the beer fridge has to be turned ALL the way up. I wonder what the cheapest flight is I can get?

Makes one seriously wonder why we (meaning singles) stay in places like this. WTF??? We could live anywhere and we stay with the cold ad snow and ice?

Murdock, MOVE OVER!

I envy you singletons! :-P I can be heard occasionally saying 'I'm never living with another man' lol!

I know, I know, I'm married. But God forbid, if anything happened... I'm never living with another man! Singleton for me! Hell yeah!

I'm married to one of them, and could move there tomorrow all legal and above board - and I STILL live here.

Murdock locked me up and threw away the key!

From what I understand Australia's heat is unbearable! Go to New Zealand instead... the North Island is sub-tropical. So it's like being in the UK, only a little warmer :D I can recommend the Bay of Islands ;-)

oh so pretty. We still have the snow here, although it's like ice on the pavements. Usually snow comes and it's gone in a day or two, but it's kept so cold that it's sticking around... AND apparently we have more on the way Sunday/Monday. So once again the whole country will come to a stop! :;rolls eyes:: Admittedly, I'm not driving in it unless I have to. One car in the repair shop is enough for me!

[beckyblack]

I've got my shopping in for the week and have no reason to go out before Monday morning now! :D I'm in for the weekend.

[billy-shriner.livejournal.com]

Lost!!!! :-P

[beckyblack]

There will be plenty of that! Having the shopping done gives me an extra hour tomorrow. What can I do with that? :D

[billy-shriner.livejournal.com]

I'm having my shopping delivered tomorrow. Got work tomorrow too :-( and we're out for the night... I'm going to freeze :-O
