This Winter

[shanered6]

there is somthing realy wrong with the weather this past 2 to 3 years up and down like a yoyo ! i mean in march this year i was having barbques in shorts and a Tshirt , in june i was in a Tshirt,shirt and fleese and it was -4c something is happening and its happening fast !!!!

Well it's not global 'warming' from where I am - at this point, I think it's another Ice Age on the way!

Of course YOU would think it's unbelievably cold. After all, you Floridians probably turn the heat on when the weather gets down to 70.

I wait until it gets down to 65F before turning the heat on.

My grandson and I spent most of the day at Daytona Beach - until the daily rains moved in.

I just watched Samantha Brown on TLC do a presentation of Montreal and laughed when she said,
"Canada has winter and July".

I love Samantha Brown and her travel programs, however, after that remark, she's lost points with me

:y24: I concur with that!

As Jack Benny used to say, "Now cut that out!!"

Apparently it is so cold in The Free State that a lot of farmers are wearing two pairs of shorts......

(If you dont understand, substitute Ireland for The Free State.)

(If you are Irish I apologise.......)

It's 10c in Jozi today with an overnight low of -1c but with the windchill factor, the real feel is -6c at the moment. And Farside has confiding with our mad Canadian friend!

Still HOT and HUMID here in South ALabama around Nov. it will switch to cool and HUMID. Those are our 2 season.

It was raw here today. At 9 am I was in the park having a walk and a jog. It was supposed to be +4C but with a strong wind it felt a lot colder than that. My little townhouse was freezing throughout today and I went to bed at 6 pm just to warm up!

I'm up again now and I'll watch a little of the Olympics closing ceremony. At least the wind has died down and I think we've probably had our last really cold winter snap- I hope so anyway....

Well I managed an entire whole minute of that before switching the TV off. And I can do a much, MUCH, better Churchill imitation than that tosser....

Blooming heck it's cold; back to bed.

It's been an unusually hot and sticky day for us at 26C (79F) with 78% humidity.
The temp is bearable, but the humidity is a killer.

 

[keystiger]

Yes Rocky the humidity is the bear. We average 85-90% humidity here in the summer and 65-75% in the winter. You have to grow gills living here.

Wow, that is sticky!!!!
We normally don't get much humidity, but when we do it's hard to take because we have no tolerance for it.

 

[keystiger]

Sticky, yep. Thats what we got. Its like living in a sauna. You do acclimate, its amazing what the body can adjust to.
I actually enjoy mowing the yard and working outside in the August heat. However the few days we get down below 55 degrees......I am in the house in front of a fire!!! With a fleece jacket and long sleeves on!

 

[CarlS]

Me too, Adrian. 55 F is getting COLD!

 

[keystiger]

78 degrees this a.m. (sounds perfect for a ride) then add in the 93% humidity. Its not raining but by the time I get to work....it might as well be.

 

[shanered6]

thats handy keys ..you can have a shower in your clothes before you get to work !

 

[CarlS]

And that is exactly why I wear textile gear rather than leathers.
