Snow...
-
It's sunny and about 15-20 degrees (Celsius) here. It's ben like this for about the last week or two. Almond trees are starting to blossom (last year they did in January).
I go out in just a shirt and a light jacket (yes and I wear pants/trousers, too).
-
It's snowing here in Knoxville, TN, too. Funny you should mention that about the bread and milk, Eric, as the people here do the same thing. I don't know why (neither do my relatives up north, who laugh about it), but they do.

Because they are paranoid. Nobody in the South knows how to behave in the snow. You get a single flake on the ground and watch out, here come the tow trucks.
Alan, I hope everyone in your area is ok. Did you have any damage to your property?

Thanks, Eric but no. You know what the British are like...one guy got a broken leg when a chimney collapsed. We get more drama when British Rail gets the "wrong kind of snow" (genuine excuse) on the tracks...all 1/4" of it.

i always wondered about the people that buy 8 gallons of milk and 8 loafs of bread and 8 dozen eggs before a snow storm... are they planning on a french toast feast?
this winter has been mild for us in PA, i wish we had gotten more snow this year, but hey... i hope we have a nice summer. -

We did have an earthquake last night, though. 5.2 on the Richter scale
Alan could you feel that in Liverpool? We could feel it here in Hull, The whole house shook for about a minute. Overall here I think there were a few damaged chimneys but nothing serious. Americans I know you get alot of tremors but the UK only get one every 20 years so it was quite exciting.
-
Well I have never felt one myself and I even lived in Santa Barbara for 7 years.
-
Oh yes; I certainly felt it Jon. Considering how much the house shook...all the creaking and groaning woodwork, I was amazed that it didn't set an alarm off anywhere. Maybe something to do with the frequency?
BTW. So much for animals and their sixth sense. I was still up, working on my laptop, with the cat beside me. She never batted an eyelid. -
Well your squirrel seems to have known something was up... looks like Arthur Dent getting ready for transport

Born and raised So. Cal girl... I have lived through some whoppers! It is funny how you get used to them. I would wake up and look over at the rod that opened my blinds and depending on how bad it was swinging would determine if I would get up or not! C-R-A-Z-Y
