there is nothing colder than a Summer in San Francisco.

Pah! :roll:

"Nothing colder"?! If you really think that, Milady, may one venture to suggest that your aristocratic status has allowed you to be somewhat feather-bedded? A bit of breeze; a bit of overcast; a few days when the sun doesn't come out at all? I wouldn't categorise that as the coldest thing ever, in the history of the world.

Try the wilds of Suffolk, near the coast, when an North-Easterly wind is blowing.

:wink:

Oh, but you are being far too literal in your interpretation. You are assuming that coldness has something to do with a number on a scale invented by Mr Fahrenheit or Mr Kelvin. "Coldness" to a lady is a product of very different variables. It has to do with the gap between expectation and reality as mitigated by the prevailing fashions of the day and the events of the moment. So climbing a glacier isn't likely to be "cold" because the cold is expected and ski jackets, salopettes, gloves etc appropriate and warm. :lol:

Sorry, Yer Ladyship - you lost me somewhere around "Oh, but...".

Or even away from the coast. This was near Eye on Wednesday morning -

 

[Penners]

Wow, Me! - your speedo goes up to 140!

Mind you, other forum members can beat that. Flyfisher's amplifier goes up to 11.

Unfortunately, not at the moment. I had a gig in Hitchen on Friday but couldn't get there because of the snow.

But goodness Me! -13 is pretty serious stuff. :shock:

We have snow on the Galtees this morning which will make the wind cooler. I can't take a picture because of low cloud.

140 miles per hour, pah, I spit on it! My tractor will do 14 mph. Downhill of course......... :twisted:

My landrover can go from 0 - 40. Usually stopping along the way to visit 10, 20, and 30 for a while.

We've burned the first ton of wood we had delivered this winter. Or rather, the second ton, as I realised too late that the first ton was about a year away from being in burnable condition. Now we're back into the soggy stuff, and struggling. I think I shall have to have some more delivered by the second supplier, while the first (and never again) supplier's offering continues to mature
Meanwhile, the northern fringe of our roof has a nice crop of....

Hard hat area there, I reckon, for fetching in the milk...

 

[DJH]

Yippee..... we've got some snow......



These are the Galtee Mountains with Galteemore the highest in the range and the photo taken from through our living room window . A lot of people say that it's a pity the electricity pole is in the way but we have such a wide ranging view we don't take any notice of it and, to be truthful, we'll settle for an electricity supply no matter where they put their pole. Well, almost. :lol:

Just come back from the NE US where we enjoyed the fine Vermont winter - -30 is lovely for skiing, as long as it's cross country and not downhill! But the houses are warm. Here in Cymru, it's been -5 - 0 since Friday, but my house is quite ummm chilly.
15 tog wool duvet, bed socks, two layers of flannel PJs, and 4 people to a bed (2 of them are small, but very efficient heaters!), and we're just about managing... May have to stand up and do some jumping jacks soon though...

 

[Penners]

4 people to a bed

Many thanks for that imaginative solution to problem of chilly nights. However, I have canvassed all our neighbours and none of them seems keen...

This cold weather has finally forced me into putting some curtains up in our freezing attic bedroom. Well, I've got as far as cutting out some fabric and putting it on curtain clips on some suspension pole thingys but I haven't done any sewing as yet. It's already made a difference! I think we'll have to live with the suspension poles as they're dormer windows with very hard stone and plaster walls and oak lintels as hard as rock so our DIY skills won't stretch to fitting proper poles and brackets plus being small plain casement windows, they won't look right with too much frippery. And I must paint the windows when the weather improves...

Is anyone else already noticing lots more jobs to do - things that probably needed doing but have alarmingly got worse with the wet and now cold weather?

Isn't that what they call... curtains? :wink:
