E100

Merry xmas from my future snow shed

The sys admin was swapping out the overheated cpu and ram at the time

Thats not much firewoood. I have about 6 cubic meters maybe 10 times that in storage. I guess you know something I don't

It looks like a maple. More strange that most of my fruit vines and bushes still have green leaves on them. My cherry tree which had a fly problem this year though looks like its already produced leaf buds. I am meant to spray it with bourdeoux and insecticide before blossom to kill fly lavea. So I dont have beelzebub in my garden next year. Hope it wont start bloom in winter or will have to climb on roof with pressure sprayer in winter.

If south gets frost before March I will eat knockers woodshed

Beware ides of march

I only remember one proper winter when little. Dont remember the year. But was in southeast and I would? Sadly I agree. Thats why one day I plan to have a log cabin in maybe near vostok for winter and a villa in perhaps Ghana for summer.

Wait till ides of march For power bills. In this weather when I put woodburner on it reaches 40c after two hours. As for pensioners having accidents. One of my granfathers was a ww2 vet and won a swimming competition against men in their twenties in his 80's.

Lower accidents? I think Cumbria would disagree and would have liked a seasonal white christmas

In this weather. Quickest way to cut the grass is to set fire to it. It will grow back in a couple of months anyway

I feel the same. Only positive note is that we can dream of snow and blizzards and african summers and eventually we win the weather lottery. If we got +40c every summer and -40c winter every year. Would get boring winning lottery every time.

From what I have read many strong el nino started mild and gave a cold early spring. I think models are indicating mild january and february and it seems likely. For March and April its a shot in the dark, but odds are much better than write off Jan and Feb. But unless April I something exceptional. The game end for winter in March for me anyway and winters last chance to play her cards. Otherwise welcome spring and hope for a hot summer.

I'm not sure how related this is to weather, but ive noticed the North magnetic core moving at an increasing speed towards Russia. Also noticed that our weather seems to becoming more tropical, perhaps like japan with different months for rainy seasons. Just brainstorming. Not suggesting there is any relation between them but interested. http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2009/12/091224-north-pole-magnetic-russia-earth-core.html

I think I will skip the winter tyres and just get myself a halftrack if we get ground frost this year. Seriously judging by recent weather a boat may be better idea in some places

I think issue is that most live in towns and cities. Roads gritted with muck is not a pleasant site. I am lucky to live in a fairly rural location. Always drawn to forest in winter. I guess it may be to do with being born in northern Russia. How anyone can't see beauty in this though is beyond me.
