Hey folks,
the weather is the classical topic for meaningless small talk, but I find it seriously interesting. I love following the weather conditions and observing weather phenomena. In a way I like almost all kinds of weather - sunny summer days, fog in the autumn, rain and thunderstorms, snow and ice. So let me start this topic for an exchange about our weather. :wOOt:
Right now we have Daisy - a low that's bringing quite a bit of snow and wind. There have been warnings of severe weather and even recommendations to stockpile food, drinking water, candles and electric torches. :blink: I wonder what all the fuss is about - isn't this simply the weather that should be in this region at this time of the year? Isn't this just one normal Middle-European winter after so many too warm ones?
What is it like in your place? Luth, I heard on the news that there is unusually much snow in the North of Spain. Are you affected?
Cheers!

Hi Markus!
I feel like in the lift trying to talk with some neighbour :lol3:
-Oh, hello!
-Hello...
-...
-Cold weather, isn't it?
-Yup, pretty cold. That's weather changing, y'know...
-...mmmh... Yep, sure...
:lol3:
Yes, you heard well: we have an uncommon cold and snowy weather. We are having snow at really low height above sea level... In fact, yesterday I was able to touch the snow, but not because I saw it fall: some cars coming from very near had it on their bonnet; the little mountains near us (very near, and low: perhaps 100 meters high?) were a little white, where the cars came from, I suppose. I've heard that today it can snow even lower, but I don't think it will happen here. Snow or not, temperatures are really low, near 0º, what is pretty unusual here. I prefer not to imagine in the mountains :wacko: Apart from my town, almost all Catalonia (except really low height) is white now, and almost all North of Spain. Besides that, in Andalusia region (South of Spain) they have several heavy rains, and they had a lot of floods :wacko:
Well, I've heard in London have been a lot of problems because of snow too, with a looot of flight cancellations and delays... What about other countries?
-
Oh Regina Frigoris,
there were pics in the news of Spanish shores under snow. So I guess not even you are safe from the white stuff. :afaid:
Cheers!
Markus
-
I like this weather. Finally is the winter a winter :)
-
Right now we have a nice weather. It is a sunny day but with cold sea wind. I think we are in 18 or 20 c degrees.
-
Dear "neighbours" and far-away friends,
here we have a bit of crazy weather. A week ago (?) we had 35-40 degrees of difference between 2-3 days. I'm not used to have a headache because of weather changes, but that was too much even for me. :(
Apart from that, I'm fine with this weather. I have to wear much more clothes, but I like snow, and I think I've made peace also with coldness. (Thanks to my tile stove, for example.) The temperature goes like between -10 and +5 degrees, after its mood. :wink2: No wind usually, and today we have a bright sunshine. Sometimes we have mist, that I enjoy very much, and a few days ago I could see some mist-spots on the road that I've never seen before - it was fun to catch tiny little clouds near to the ground. :)
-
Oh, your weather changes really swiftly!!!!
And as for my land, the frost attacks with a new stroke! Today now (noticing that the sun set about 4 hours ago) it's being -22 deg.C.
-
Wow, that's pretty cold!
Over here all the beautiful snow is thawing. :bawl: But we might get some more cold days soon...
Cheers!
Markus

Well, I've heard in London have been a lot of problems because of snow too, with a looot of flight cancellations and delays... What about other countries?
Sorry for delayed response (delay not caused by snow :fish:) - I was in London for much of last week and there were travel problems on the trains as well as with flights. However by the time I needed to leave London all was ok again. Much of the snow across the country has now melted, but I believe more is forecast for later this week...
There was plenty of snow around during our London trip, but we all battled the cold with plenty of warming spirits :drunk:
-
:unsure:
* Looks out of the window * .... :wOOt:
Weather here: nice, warm and cloudless.
Weather here last week: cold, gray, and rainy. There was a lot of snow in the mountains surrounding the city, and now the view of the volcanoes is quiet something! (On the other hand, a few people living of those mountains died frozen, which is more than something sad :'( )
-
-22!!!! And atmospheric preasure is very high, about 775 mm Hg, when the norm for our place is 748. It loads me a bit)))
-
Time here... There have been really long time with cloudy, rainy days, a lot more than usual. I wish a sunny day!!!! :ninja:
-
My town is in the middle of a storm! I love this weather :yeha:
-
It's been raining in Kuwait. :ninja:
-
Hey folks,
Lava, old Sethian, no wonder you're fond of storms! :wink2:
Jorge, how much rain has fallen? Just a tiny little bit - or will it be enough to make the desert bloom?
Cheers!
Markus
-
Dregs are everywhere!)))) We're covered with snow! And cold! Tomorrow is prommised to be the coldest day, here where I'm being now itwill be about -27!
-
Nice, Siren. :biggrin: Be sure to dress warm - even if I sound like your mum now, in this case she's right. :wink2:
We're supposed to get -19°C tonight, and I'll head off for work long before sunrise. :wOOt:
Cheers!
Markus
-
I´ve never touch the snow in my life ... :ninja:
-
I´ve never touch the snow in my life ... :ninja:
me neither :ninja:
@t: not that cold anymore here
-
Then it's about time, folks! :ninja:
Shall I send you some? :lol3:
Cheers!
Markus
-
YES please! :wOOt:
you know we actualy havent had rain for over 2.5months!! :blink:
-
There are some montains near my town where it is an observatory, and there always snow in winter but I don´t know why I haven´t go. The only snow I had try is the Ice Cream :lol3:
-
I touched snow three weeks ago... from a car coming from the nearby hills! Those were the most cold days for long time here, and it snowed a little in low heights. Beside that, I've lived 4 or 5 little snowing days in my live... very rare, but not impossible to happen! :insane:
-
I didn't touch any snow today, but some snow touched me - as it was driven right into my face by the icy morning wind. :afaid: :lol3:
I love the way my ears glow when I sit in the office, having the first coffee of the day. :biggrin:
Cheers!
Markus
-
It was cold today. Like really, it was really cold for this desert. People were going around in jackets and still freezing.
6°C this morning. Around 12°C when I got back home from school.
-
It's almost the same °C here, but under zero. :lol: (:afaid:)
-
Really nice weather today: The maximum is 17 c, and the minimus 8 c, and it is a sunny day. Is just perfect to drink some beers in the beach :fish:
-
Come to us as we're covered with the unusual amount of snow this year! It's warmer now: -5'C or near to that, but the end of this week should be cold again. And it's snowing, snowing and once more - snowing!!!!
-
Hi folks,
over here the winter is still lingering on, and right now a little bit of new snow is falling. Almost six weeks of frost and snow... it's great to have a real winter after all those un-winters we had in the past years. But now I'm also looking forward to the next spring. :)
Cheers!
Markus
-
Hy!
Here is quite a lot of snow right now.. last two days were very generous with it. Even my train to Ljubljana last night had one hour of delay because of bad weather condition. The roads are very bad and dangerous, but that's not the snows fault, it's human because they don't do their job! Anyway it's not very cold, just -2 degrees.
I only complain when I'm the one driving because it's very tiring in such weather to get anywhere.
This is the winter of my childhood! I like it like this! This is how winter should look like! :yeha:
-
We got fresh snow during the night also :) I like it a lot... tough I miss fresh air. It's very smoggy here - as always in Prague during the winter :( but it causes me migrenes... which is annoying so I wish it would be sunny with no cloud on the sky.... fresh air.... sun. It's also good because when I am at work and it's nicer weather - people are less unpleasant also. -_-
-
Rain has already destroyed entire towns down here! And is not even ranny season yet :(
yo yo yo
-
Yeah well, we are boiling here in Brazil, that's the appropriate expression. Some places in Rio de Janeiro the termic sensation gets above 50 Celsius. Can you imagine that? There was a day that RJ earned the title of second warmest place on Earth, only losing for a African city.
-
I heard about that, hauntedboy. That was on German news, too, that you're experiencing an unusualle hot time even for Brazilian conditions. And that in the carnival season...
Cheers, anyway!
Markus
-
My hope is that some day we'll get to see just naked women during summer. No more loinclothes, thanks to the sun! :yeha:
-
:lol3:
But you'll be too weak to enjoy that sight or to take advantage of these circumstances. :ninja:
Cheers, anyway!
Markus
-
This morning I've seen some little tiny small snowflakes falling... So small that you had to look it hard to realize what they were! But they were HERE!!! :insane:
-
Weird things going on here...
A round bright thingy has appeared in the sky. :blink: It seems like a huge floodlight and is far too bright to look at - you can see its bright light all over the city. :afaid:
I have heard ancient tales about a phenomenon like this, but I've never thought they could be true! (Well, "never" is exaggerated, but for the past few months we had virtually no sunshine here).
Cheers!
Markus
-
I'm afraid you have to get used to that sight, Markus... Old tales also say that from now on the Fearful Flashlight will appear sooner and sooner...
-
That sure is scary! I mean, as warm as the thingy is it might be harmful to all the wonderful snow.
Is it also true that the thingy makes all the lovely barren trees all green? :afaid:
Cheers!
Markus Hrimthursicus
-
The sunny days are appearing again :)
-
Hi folks,
we're having a thaw here, including some rain. I find this more uncomfortable than frost, but it surely is time for spring to come near.
Cheers!
Markus
-
Hi folks,
right now it is creepily stormy here: Torn clouds, eerily lit by the full moon, are racing over the sky, driven by the storm "Xynthia". On my roofdeck a few plants have been blown over, and the plastic table is lying upside-down besides its usual place. :afaid:
Cheers, anyway!
Markus
-
Hi Markus,
Xynthya has already passed by Spain, although not in Catalonia. It has struck the Atlantic coast (Galicia and Euskadi, as far as I know), and it has been very powerful, with wind "blows" of 250 km/h the heaviest :blink:
I wish that storm will go away fast and leave the less injuries possible -_-
-
Well, I really can't complain as Xynthia had already lost much power when it arrived here. Compared to what happened in Western Europe - over 50 deaths and lots of material damage - we were really spared here; no serious damage as far as I can tell.
Cheers!
Markus
-
mmmm.... those storms are becoming more frequent in Europe. I still remember the last year one :afaid: ... and from the wind speeds Luth mentions I must conclude that that one was nothing compared to Xynthia. :blink:
Anyway, so far the apocalypse-2010 counts say: Haiti, Chile, Western Europe, Taiwan ... man, this is getting nasty.
-
Oh guys, hope nothing bad happens to you due to that nasty storm...
In Kuwait, we had a beautiful yellow/orange day today. Literally, it looked beautiful to have such a huge dust cloud all over. Sure, it got nasty by entering into rooms and leaving its trail all over town after a while, but the sight of it was amazing. Should have taken pictures. :ninja:
-
Why haven't you taken any, Jorge? :bawl:
The storm is over - but spring is still far from here. Right now, we're up for a few more cold days...
Cheers!
Markus
-
Well ehm... I was kind of at school without a camera at the time. :unsure:
-
We have a very good day! ::)
-
So do we, Siren,
we had a bit of sunshine these days. But apart from that I think this may be the beginning of the Fimbulvetr as there is no end of the winter in sight. :afaid:
Cheers!
Markus
-
The Fimbulwinter? :afaid:
Nah, in here it's getting all warm and sunny once more. :ninja:
-
Whew - that's good news, I suppose?
Now, would you exchange some of that warmth and sunshine for... for.... say for a snow-cooled beer?
Cheers!
Markus
-
Back at home after a hotel-night in Barcelona (very near my work) because I was unable to travel to my home, due to snow. I'll explain better later :insane:
-
That bad, Luth? Oh my goodness...
Over here it was a wonderful day. Slightly frosty, but a very sunny day with blue, almost cloudless skies over snowy fields. I like the contrast between the cold air and the warming sun. :)
Cheers!
Markus
-
Well... I'm sure that some of you would think this is only a tiny little snowy day, but in Barcelona, when it really rarely snows, and when it does it is so weak it hardly turns any road white... :unsure:
Yesterday I was working, luckily in a big-windowed office, so we could see all the snow since the beginning. It started to rain first, and after some rain some little snowflake started to fall. But gound was wet and weather was not so cold, so it lasted a lot of time... hours, until it started to lie. It did at 15h aprox., when snow was falling more and more heavily. A lot of people in the office decided to go home earlier, as we supposed Barcelona is not used to snow and we could have problems with trains and cars. Of course, we had! No train was leaving the station except two which had a very short distance to travel. Perhaps you can remember I work in Barcelona but live in Calella, at 60 km... Luckily for me, Xiquet was trapped in Barcelona too (he works in another city near Barcelona, and he went out from there with great difficulties, by car, but he had to leave the car in Barcelona as it was impossible to drive!). So, we together booked a hotel for a single night, at 100 m from my work :ninja:
Today trains worked again, but as the tracks of the train are by the coast, and we have high waves due to the wind, I lasted more than 2h before arriving home, instead the 1h15min it use to last. Nice day :disgust:
Well... This is the bad part. The good part is that I was walking (and trying not to fall) in a heavy snow storm (heavy for us, I'm aware!), what I almost enjoyed if not for my wet and frozen feet toes. And I saw a fantastic and hard to see again view of Barcelona. You must think we are a coast city and it only snows every 3 or 4 years, or less, and never so hard. Infrastructures are simply not prepared! All city was isolated because you could use no train, no car, no bus... even it was really difficult to use mobile phone :unsure:
Some pictures taken from internet. I took some with my mobile camera, but the quality is so bad it even looks as a less snowy day :whistle:

:roll: Man, that so freaking cool! The last time I went to Barcelona it was hot as hell, and to see it like that is like watching a postcard from a parallel universe :roll:
-
Hey Luth,
that must have been quite an event for you!
I understand that this casts a towns into chaos that is not used to snow at all - quite to the contrary of our towns here who fell into chaos, too, due to a winter you have to consider quite normal, just because our towns are becoming too lazy to prepare for normal winters. But for you this is something very unusual.
I think you did the right thing and made the best of it. :)
Cheers!
Markus
-
Oh! These are really surprising pics! I like them anyway))))
Today it was snowing all the day! Even for us days with such amounts of snow are abnormal indeed. And the wind is really loathful. It had overtaken me on my way to the university and I could do nothing but to run, for I was sure it wanted to freeze me to the bone :wOOt: :wOOt: :wOOt: :lol: :lol:
-
Yeah, the spring feeling is arriving!
-
Hey folks,
yesterday we had classical April weather with clouds, showers and sunny gaps in between. In the afternoon I got into an incredibly intense shower of sleet - I was soaking wet within a minute or so, and at the top time it was getting hard to see anything due to the urge to protect my eyes but also due to the veils of rain.
But in the evening I was rewarded with some beautiful sights as the setting sun shone across the shower-landscape over my city. There was a veil of rain to the Northwest which was lighted in yellow, almost golden colour by the sun, and to the East there were parts of a double-rainbow visible. All of that changed quite quickly, within minutes.
Wish it was a bit warmer, though, so my plants can finally burst into leaf.
Cheers!
Markus

Come here! Moscow's getting warmer and warmer). Today by folly I've worn my leather boots. I thought I'd be boiled alive ;D
-
I just woke up to a mixture of a sandstorm and a thunderstorm, with a bit of rain.
It's settled down a bit now, but it was pretty scary when I first saw it. :blink:
-
Does that mean it was raining mud from a sky with lightning, Jorge? :blink:
Anyway, I can imagine that this must have been pretty impressive and scary indeed.
Cheers!
Markus
-
I've seen it before, but in this case it was like a huge cloud of sand was covering the city. It was dark! All I could see outside my window was the palm tree in front of it wiggling like crazy to the wind. And then I heard thunder, saw a bright spot in the sand cloud and heard thunder again. And then I noticed there was a tiny bit of rain coming down. I later found out it was quite a bit of rain, which actually managed to flood (just a bit) the little backyard that my house and our neighbors' house shares.
About two hours and a half later, now, it's all sunny and nice again. :blink:
-
Really impressive, but like many weather phenomena it's most fun when it's experienced from window-place indoors. :lol3:
Cheers!
Markus
-
We have sunny day in CZ but from windows I can see "dusty" sky in far skies. It suddenly beggins with straight line and it's white/yellow.
-
Never been sooooooooooo hot in Mexico before!!! Damn!!
yo yo yo
-
Like Markus told us some time before, something really frightening happened. A big, bright, hot round thing had appeared on the skies!!! :afaid:
It seems we're getting more and more English weather... We have no week without one, two, three... five raining days! I think this following summer won't have the drought problem... It's also strange that, 2 or 3 weeks ago we had two really hot days, when I had to wear sleevless shirts, and these previous days I even had cold with two-three thin cloth layers. Weather is CRAZY! :fish: (not to speak about the South of Spain, in Andalucia, where they tend to have terrible hot and dry weather, and this year they have more floods than in all their life :afaid: ).
-
I love the weather of my city because in almost all Mexico it is very hot and raining, and here is like 21 C and no raining. This are the advantages of having mediterranean weather :)
-
Should I tell you our current temperature?
Well, it's dark, so current temperature must be somewhere around 35 C. It's been sunny today, so I'm pretty sure that during the daytime, temperatures probably reached somewhere near 50 C. [url=http://www.smiley-faces.o
-
That is called ¨extreme tortures¨.
-
Should I tell you our current temperature?
Well, it's dark, so current temperature must be somewhere around 35 C. It's been sunny today, so I'm pretty sure that during the daytime, temperatures probably reached somewhere near 50 C.
If any day, or any century, I dare to say something like "I want to go to visit One"... KILL ME BEFORE!!!!! :afaid:

Don't worry, if you ever do, either the visa procedure or the outdoors summer heat will kill you.
And if it doesn't, well, relax, there's air-conditioning in every closed space. :fish:
...And you could always visit in winter :whistle:
-
...And you could always visit in winter :whistle:
When it's 45? ;D

jajajajaja
-
Hey folks,
the Kuwaiti One is gonna laugh at me now, but I find it scorching hot. The whole country is sweating and moaning in the summer heat...
Cheers, anyway!
Markus
-
Terrible here also, Markus. So I understand Your words... I really hate when already at 10 am is 38° in the sun and almost sixty in the afternoon. :hug2:
-
Dear Miri,
I'm not complaining because I promised myself not to complain over our heat again when I experienced the conditions in summer in Shanghai last year. But then again I admit that I'll be glad when this heat is over.
You know, for me it's only inconvenient, but for children, sick or old people it can become actually dangerous. That's why I hate the cheap weather-reports that are besides themselves with joy when it gets hot. The hotter it gets, the louder they cheer. :disgust: I prefer those reports that say "Well, it's nice for the beach, but..."
Anyway, seems we'll have to live with this heat for a few more weeks. When this kind of weather is established at this time of the year it's often very stable. So let's make the best of it!
Cheers!
Markus
-
I myself hate the people around here who say that I am stupid or crazy cause I hate hot weather. Fine, they like it... me not. I don't tell them also, that they are being stupid cause they like this weather.
And actually - as You mentioned - I am one of those sick people (have heart problems) so this weather causes me much stress. :/
-
Yup, that's what I mean! I understand you ver well, Miri. But you are surely not alone when you prefer somewhat cooler weather!
Cheers!
Markus
-
"Well, it's nice for the beach, but..."
That is so true. I have luck to be living by the sea so I can go to the beach. But staying at home during summer time is so horrible, so boring..
In general I love summer cause it is usually the best time of year for me. I can go to so many places with friends, go to beaches, go out without freezing, a lot of people in town, a lot of events during summer time. At winter my town is dead. Oh and that strange feeling in the air (summernight city)
-
:sofa:
-
Hey folks,
right now an intense thunderstorm is raging to the Northwest. There is barely a second without at least one flash of lightning... I do hope, though, that we'll get some rain here.
Cheers!
Markus
-
:sofa:
Why are you hiding? oh and btw I do love summer rain ^_^
-
Because I like this weather the best. :)
-
There's nothing wrong about that :) But I think that the weather conditions are different in Budapest than here in Prg. As far as I remember the air was more Mediterranean. Which is easier to bear :)
I hope You will enjoy this weather fully :) Cause we got clouds today - the sun is hidden - I think it's that stuff Markus was posting about yesterday evening. Usually we get weather from Northwest.
-
Because I like this weather the best. :)
People born at summer time (Leo at zodiac) usually prefer summer weather ;)
-
That's truth :)
-
The newspaper says today:
Condiciones actuales: Soleado (sunny)
Temperatura: 25° C
Perfect to go and swim in the beach :cht:
-
Today we had a beautiful sunny day, with a temperature of 50° C, and unusually high humidity.
This meant that going outdoors for too long was met with a long, sweaty and painful death. :whistle:
-
Damn it! I hate humidity. I thought living in the sea has only one bad thing: humidity. I also thought it would be a good idea to travel to a warmer, but drier place, like the dessert. I simply can't imagine 50º with humidity. Death is preferable :afaid:
Btw... One, you'll have a nice temperature here... only 27º, according to the Barcelona's web. Today we had 31º (but in the sun, at midday, it was, to me, killingly hot).
You'll enjoy the low temperatures :disgust:
-
Hey folks,
Jorge, if you find Barcelona too cold, come here and enjoy some 34°C!
Luth, aren't you supposed to be fond of sun and heat? :unsure: You're Spanish, after all...
I can't confirm that summer-born people prefer the summer. I was born a few days after the summer solstice and I prefer mild warmth to summer-heat. :nana:
Cheers!
Markus
-
But you aren't a Leo. -_-
Nah, seriously: I don't think it's about Zodiacs. It's just that I feel more alive. And I don't have to wear those tons of clothes. The few clothes people wear are very colourful. I can wet my head any time and look like a mad woman. I can leave all doors and windows open. These are some of the things I love about summer heat. :)
-
There 2 days were so perfect and so relaxing for me. Yesterday afternoon I went to 2 beaches with different friends and felt so relaxed. Today I went to the beach and after that I went to play football and then to the beach again. I jumped into the sea even though it was already night. Now I am at home and ready go to out with some friends. That is what I love, and everything is so near where I live :) I can't do that at winter time.
-
Dark clouds covered the sky and it was slightly raining in the morning for few minutes :whistle:
-
Hey weather-folks,
last night some rain fell - onto my roof-deck as well as onto our family-cottage. :) Now we're heading for some more dry, hot days.
Cheers!
Markus
-
There was a hurrican in South Moscow. But it's still very hot, too hot. Such a temperature was noticed only in 1934!
-
Hey Siren,
perhaps you mean a tornado? A strong but small whirlwind, only a few dozens or hundreds of meters across but highly dangerous. Anyway, I hope nobody got seriously injured!
Over here we had some rain and a little bit of thunder and lightning, but it was pretty calm. Well, the rain is highly welcome as the earth here is getting too dry.
Cheers!
Markus
-
They say that we are going to have some storms, rain, wind, and much colder weather from this late evening on. :unsure: Well, I would prefer a calm sunny weekend, but anyway... I'll enjoy it. :wink2:
-
It's on the way dear Lucy! :)
-
I don't mind the temperature but a little lower would be nice, this is too hot and some wind also. :P
-
Ney, a tornado harm Petersburg and one more city (don't remebmer which one). In Moscow was a hurrican.
--
I can't stand this heat anymore! The temperature in Moscow was +39. And no rain! The grass has lready faded! It's yellow and brown, and the forest and mires set on fire.
:pop:
-
+39?? I heard about +35, but I see it's worse :afaid:
How can it be? In Barcelona it's not hard to reach +35 (with a lot of humidity, which turns out to feel like a lot more), and in the south of Spain (Andalucía...) +40 is terribly usual. But... they are used to. I will never travel to the south on Summer for that reason. Now, I won't be able to travel to the very north for the same reason? :afaid:
Weather turned crazy. I've read that in South America there are lowest temperatures from 40 years to now. Bad, bad, bad :disgust:
-
Yes, we have here in CZ around +39 to... well, not now, but few days ago yes and with 90% humidity. It was terrible :afaid:
Now it's about +19 or +17 and rainy rainy....
But +39 in Russia??? That's crazy! Hope the weather will turn more normal in close time!
-
+39 + 90% humidity??
Hides in a hole in North Pole.
:afaid:
-
Yes, I could not almost breathe and my heart hurt me quite a lot so I stayed on the sofa not doing anything.
Now I am fine! :)
-
Yay, we got no rain but the cold wind came and when I was at the beach and got out of the sea it was cold and I couldn't sit in wet pants cause of the cold wind :)
-
I don´t like that sensation of being wet and the cold wind blowing straight to you.
-
+39?? I heard about +35, but I see it's worse :afaid:
Weather turned crazy. I've read that in South America there are lowest temperatures from 40 years to now. Bad, bad, bad :disgust:
We were promised to have +35, but...but...when I was near our tube station, it was written here the temperature was +39. Easy to believe! I was hardly overheated.
Yup, it's really insane these days! It wants us to perish, I guess!
-
Hey folks,
over here it's pretty cool for the season - less than 20°C - and rainy, but with sunnier patches in between. That led to some beautiful sights last evening. There were huge cumuli towering in the distance, dark, but their sides lit by the setting sun. There was a high double-rainbow which was high as a rainbow can get because the sun was setting. And there was that amazing diffuse yellow light you get when a low sun shines into a rainshower. Oh, you should have seen that!
Cheers!
Markus

:wOOt: I like this weather a lot actually. I enjoy the dark heavy clouds with lower white ones which look like a ripped nifel over there.
Double rainbow - yeeesss.... I've seen this first time in my life this summer after some really heavy storms (hails etc) during the day time - then it appeared and it was fantastic cause the colours looked so bright on the dark backround.
Enjoy it Markus! :wink2:
-
It may have been fantastic, Markus! I would like to be in Germany now! Just yesterday, in Barcelona we had the hottest day perhaps for 200 years or more... 40º in some parts of the city, with a terrible African wind (not breeze, not: wind). In my way from work to train, more than 10 minutes, at 15.30, I thought I would faint... :afaid: Luckily in Calella the wind was not and temperatures were a little lower. But terrible day yesterday :afaid:
What had happened? World become crazy, when in Moscow there are almost 40º for several weeks, in Germany there's a cool day and in Barcelona we have a high temperature record over 200 years or more :insane:
-
in Poland we have the same weather like in Germany, that's why I probably got sick :(
-
:hug2: Hugs Agnes
-
Seems like the weather is going nuts everywhere... This week in Kuwait, it's not been that hot, but it's been humid as hell. Feels like going back to Venezuela sort of. And coming back home drenched in sweat. :ninja:
-
Humid in the desert? How can it be? :afaid:
-
I'm assuming it's because of the shores on the Persian... I mean Arabian Gulf. :ninja:
-
Not so weird... In the news it was explained how those high temperatures arrived here: it seems it's like a DIRECTLY FROM THE SAHARA bubble which travels and makes, for few hours, be like in the desert itself. In some parts of Valencia it has been even more than 40... I think 44 or 45º :afaid:
-
That's really strange. We have around 20°C :blink:
-
We have again the normal temperatures... Perhaps less than 30º as maximum. It was really one day... some hours... but what hours!!!!! :afaid: :afaid: :afaid:
-
We got a wonderful weather today (and yesterday too). It's not hot, but it's not cold and sun is shining, clear blue sky and near some forests and pastures nice fresh air. This is for me the best weather. Wish it was weather and temperature like this whole summer :roll-eyes:
I took a walk to the nearest water dam - It's called Hostivař reservoir and it's supposed to be a bathing place in summer but in last decade it suffers a lot from anabaena/cyanophytes which are of course bad too people. It's always the first reservoir in Prague to be closed cause of this every summer.
Well I came there and found out they are emitting the water - draining the reservoir. So I even did not take any pics of it - and I am not sure I would do even if it was full of water. It's really filthy water usually.
But I took a walk around in the so called "forest park" Hostivař and "forest park" Háje. It was very nice and I took only 2 pics.
I met a lot of animals I haven't seen since ages (some of them never):
- red squirrel
- black squirrel
- Tettigoniidae - some of the grasshoppers :) I don't see them since my early childhood. They completely disappeared from the city
- for first time in my life I saw a bird from the Piciformes - woodpeckers :) I think it might be this one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Spotted_Woodpecker (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Spotted_Woodpecker) :)
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/cd/Buntspecht_Dendrocopos_major-2.jpg/200px-Buntspecht_Dendrocopos_major-2.jpg)
I also met one mushroom I haven't seen since my early childhood. Its smell I can recognize from miles :D - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phallus_impudicus (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phallus_impudicus)
Here are two pics from my way:

Hey Kris,
we have the same lovely weather over here, but you're making better use of it - I'm busy with my apartment today and I'll be back in the office tomorrow. ::)
Lovely pics! I'm glad you enjoyed your excursion this much.
Burgundy snails and woodpeckers also occur in our garden; the latter like to use one of my favourite trees - a robinia that we grew from a seed - as a woodpecker's smithy. I haven't found any proper translation of the German term "Spechtschmiede", but I hope you know what I mean: A place where the woodpecker fixes, for instance, a pine-cone in order to peck out the seeds. The branchings of the robinia seem to have just the right angle for that. :)
Woodpeckers even live here in town as this is - despite the ugly architecture - a rather green part of the city.
Cheers!
Markus
-
I should learn German better. :wOOt:
-
Hey Lucy,
I bet that even most German have no idea what a Spechtschmiede is supposed to be. :wink2:
Cheers!
Markus
-
Haha, lots of years ago my mom got compliments for the same reason in Germany, because she could write Verpflegung correctly.
-
:biggrin:
Oh BTW, something else I love about this weather: It seems to intensify the colours of the plants. Apples, for instance, need cool nights and sunny days in order to get intensely red. I think I've read somewhere that this weather also intensifies the autumn colours of the leaves. Finally I'm convinced that late summer sunshine makes flowers more intense. Ooohh, the red of a rose in late summer sunshine! The velvet dark red of "chocolate flowers" and the red of my dahlia which had a shrill purplish hue in summer and which has turned my favourite red now!
Cheers!
Markus
-
Thank You Markus, indeed seems that Germany is in better environmental state than CZ. Woodpeckers becomes rather uncommon here. And all the animals I use to meet. For me when I meet them all of sudden - I realize "dear G-d, I haven't seen this animal since ages and I even didn't notice" but when I notice I miss their sounds and such a lot.
-
Thuderstorms, thunderstorms, and more thunderstoms... we got at least one per day, and today Sutur is unleashing hell over our heads. AND, on the top of that, Hurricane Matthew is coming our way :disgust:. The whole country will drawn like Lemuria if we continue this way.
Oh! nice woodpecker Krisi! Those birds are real fun to watch.
-
Huricane Karl has whipped out Veracruz, it was just devastating.
yo yo yo

Hey Loke,
were you affected? Say, what happened?
Best regards
Markus
-
O_o! Loke, are you and everyone OK?!
-
We are just fine, I am like 5 hours away from that cost, thx for asking, but still we ve bee having lousy weather due to the huracane but nothing in comare with em.
Humanitary help is comming from all the states of the republic and people from Veracruz are starting to rebuild their lives, and literary, their homes.
yo yo yo
-
Stay fine Loki :)
-
Glad to hear you're fine so far, Loke!
A real hurricane must be awful indeed. I think we Europeans can't really imagine what this must be like.
Over here it's been raining for days now. This is going in many people's nerves but not on mine. I've never understood how one can let bad weather get on one's mood. It's getting a bit dangerous, though; the great amount of rain causes high water in some brooks and small rivers and it also fills some basements, but this is far from being really catastrophic weather.
Cheers!
Markus
-
Glad to hear!
Agree with Markus! We really don't know what it really is.
Even "little" and not destructive hurricans make us fear. Can't imagine how is to face this!
>:(
It's a cool and rainy autumn day. Yesterday the weather was much better.
-
The weather is perfect for listening Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath and Black Sabbath - Sabbath bloody sabbath albums. Cloudy and fresh air, but is not cold neither hot. Suddenly some thunders in the sky, and some minutes of calmed rain.
-
Another huracane just hit Mexico, damn
yo yo yo

we just had wonderful autumn fog :) really foggy weather in the morning.

What's a hell happens! When I heard it in the news, I thought about our community...
Here it's about +2 deg C, very windy and a bit wet. But anyway I have to stay home with the flu...
-
Hey folks,
it's the first frosty night in my city, the first time I see puddles frozen. The next days are going to get even colder - frosty days are coming up for the weekend - and we might even get some snow. :yeha:
I brought in the not-hardy plants from my roof-deck, so I demand frost now - so I didn't bring them in in vain. :ninja:
Hell Nifel and cheers!

Here it's "colder than a ticket-taker's smile in the Ivar theater on a Saturday night". Frost cometh--- :looks out the window: Correction, frost cameth. The weather forecast promises snow in the next few days.
I like traveling while the scenery (and, more often than not, my chosen method of transport) is snowbound. Or if there's at least a bit of snow in the air. Since I plan to hit the road tomorrow at some point, I'm hoping to be caught in a blizzard or at least slip on some ice :hop:
Hell Nifel
Gesundheit!
and cheers!
Also cheers ;D
-
the first time I see puddles frozen.
I was like :blink: because I thought you were talking about poodles. Sorry... :blush:
Hell Nifel

Hides and explodes of laughter Sorry again... :blush:

I haven't seen any frozen poodles yet, nor any other frozen dogs. :unsure: But I'll keep my eyes open!
Cheers!

Here is windy and rainy. Temperatures not more than 7ºC.
Perfect day to stay at home, lying in the sofa with a blanket...
...but I must continue growing profits of the souless Markets. :bye:
-
Windy and rainy, too. About I guess it's about 0 ºC.
-
4°, sunshine, but they promised snow for tonight! :yeha:
-
Here it's 5,5°C. -_- And now I'm going out. :afaid:
-
It's cold and ugly weather here too -_- Lot of smog again ¬¬
-
I like the weather today. It's cool, not windy and dry.
-
Snow's lovely, but slush isn't. As a general rule.
Thus, at least, spake this unit you call Nighthawk.
There it was, in our lovely Croatian capital, this Nighthawk-unit. Twas waiting for bus no. 234, which makes its rounds every 25 minutes, except when it doesn't. Apparently, snow is a bus-deterrent. The bus was either a bit late or time melted as the unit Nighthawk's circuits froze. All it remembers is the temperature dropping, the wind scatting Jethro Tull's "Dogs in the Midwinter" and the first few flakes earnestly kamikaze-ing to the ground.
The rest is 01110011011010010110110001100101011011100110001101100101.

First snow in my city!

Well, we do not have such a cold but... first snow on my cell phone:

Lovely pics, Kris, especially with a cellphone! :wOOt: I wouldn't have told it without mentioning!
Sadly the snow did start to melt in my district, but there is still plenty in the higher parts of the city. :)
-
:) Haha, that was my intention - it's actually new cell phone and cause we do not have a camera - I wanted a phone with a bit better camera :) So for some pics it works fine!
Check this out x) It was snowing whole night:

Lovely pics indeed, Kris! Thank you for sharing and congrats for having such a decent cam on your phone. :)
Until yesterday it was frosty but mainly dry here, now we have frost and snow.
Cheers!

Very nice photos! :wOOt:

Nice photos Kris! :biggrin: The weather is looking lovely on your part of the world.

Weather forecasts predict heavy integrals and the proving of the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, with chances of finding areas under curves and calculating the momentum of moving particles. :ninja:
-
Today we're having the perfect winter day. :) There's a thick cover of snow, but the skies are clear and the sun is shining. Large flat ice crystals have formed on trees, shrubs and herbs, thin, triangular plates about 1cm long. The sun glints off these plates when the angle is correct, so when you walk around the landscape is sparkling. :)
Cheers!

Seems like everyone's having snow except for me :D
It's pretty warm here actually :blink:
-
It's pretty warm here, too. The snow's mostly melted away.
It's kinda... spring-y.
-
Guess we'll have a non-snowy New Year :D
-
The Muslim one? Yeah :D The Gregorian calendar one just might have a bit of snow, you never know :ninja:
-
Nice weather has stayed for 4 days, it's unbelievable :innocent:
Cold, cloudy but sun keeps shining
I can't help airing quilt again
-
The Gregorian calendar one just might have a bit of snow, you never know :ninja:
You got that right :ninja: We had some snow earlier today. And it's goddamn freezing. :D
Not so sure about the warm New Year anymore. :D
-
Well, we have temperatures between 15-25 degrees Celsius here for the winter.
I love winter here. :biggrin:
-
Yesterday we had freezing rain which was very nasty for the traffic. After that it started to snow again - and my hometown was fascinatingly silent. :spock: I noticed that when I got out of the car and walked to my front door... Hardly any sound! There were only few cars on the streets, and their noise was muffled by the snow on the streets and the falling snow in the air. Wonderful!
Cheers!
Markus
-
A lot of snow, a lot of rain, than snow again, but now it's raining!
Ve-e-e-e-e-e-ry strange weather!
-
Ok, we had almost-summer weather not long ago (do you remember, Markus, Lucy?). A few time after the NTSMS party departure it arrived the full-winter weather... to the point that we were at -1º in Barcelona, and snowing only at 300 meters high (very very mid-winter temperature). Now, we have really mild weather again. And the forecast says that full winter temperatures are coming again.
Weather IS CRAZY!!!!!! :afaid: :afaid: :afaid:
-
The springy weather is off, there was a huge windstorm (172 km/h at one place, new official record for Hungary). They promise -12 and snow for next week.
Finally. Winter.

When I was going to my university, it was OK, but when I was going back home all the street was covered with ice. But I withstood))).

It's said that the nice weather will end in tomorrow. So good bye the sunshine day. :bye:
It's Heavy snow in Solar Terms now. Getting colder and drier, but I still not sure if I can see snow this year. :med2:
-
WOW! It's SNOWING outside!
:w00t_jump: :w00t_jump:
My roommate who came from northern China is calm. :spock:
But another one who came from interior area and me look like :hop: :hop:
It's unusual to see heavy snow in southern China :roll:
There is a mantle of snow outside now :wub:
Forgive me, the snowfalls - which could be call heavy relatively - I have experienced isn't exceed for 10 times. :blush:
-
Enjoy the snow, Monade!
If you like it, I can send some of ours to you - we've got a lot of it.
Cheers!
Markus
-
All of you, enjoy the snow! :hop:
Here it's just dead cold, stays under 0 degrees during daytime too, but it would look so much better with being snowy, it wouldn't melt finally.
-
Enjoy the snow, Monade!

Well, how do you plan to send :lol:
The snow haven't melt yet, even after the schoolmates' daylong snowball fight :afaid:
It is in TOP10 of heavy snow I have seem.
And the first one looks like:

(2008, my high school :biggrin:)
In comparation, the a lot of you said and you mean made me feel heartbroken :bawl:
Envy you your heavy snow :fireevil:
-
After the 2011 summer Prague meeting, we will need a heavily in-snowed meeting next, to please everyone. :lol:
-
But that's a decent snow cover already, Monade. :)
Well, admitted, ours is higher. I can teleport some of it over to you or - if that doesn't work properly - send it by airmail. We've still got more than enough of it - so much that now I'm dreaming of a white Christmas, just like the ones I used to know. :wub:
Cheers!

@Topic
After the snow 2 days before, we gained shining days back :yeha:
I found that when I have exams, especially when I have a lot of exams, it is always sunny :ninja:
-
Today the weather is damn bad! We had an ice-rain (I don't know what it is, I overslept this view) and railway freezed. I'm out of the city! I must have had exams today! But! I could not go out of this place because of this ice on the railway! But what a luck I felt when found out that our teacher had had to stay out of the city, too!
-
Hey folks,
we've had thawing for several days now; today it was +10°C and warmer - plus rainy. There is heavy high water in some parts of Germany, including my home town. :( Luckily my home is not affected, but I can only hope that the planetarium will get out of this undamaged.
Cheers!
Markus
-
About -10 but feels like very warm. :wub:
-
Hey folks,
we had some pretty stormy days in the mean time, but nothing really serious here. The high water that followed the thawing was much worse. It did a lot of damage and even started to threaten my place slightly, but luckily I was spared. The planetarium was struck worse, but it will re-open next week. :nosweat:
Now we have a mild cold. I wonder if the winter will be back once more or if spring is about to come up.
Cheers!
Markus
-
Actually, I was wondering the same. On the 2nd February the bears came out from the cave, and since the sun wasn't shining, they didn't go back to sleep (this is a cute tradition, I don't know whether you have it too?) so spring-time should approach... :unsure: I keep my fingers crossed for that. :lol:
-
Like groundhog day, Lucy?
I haven't heard of it locally, but I know that such traditions exist in several places.
Well, we've had some decent winter this year and right now it's around 0°C instead of nicely frosty and snowy, so we might as well go for spring soon. :lol3: On my roofdeck the leek is starting to grow and the first shrubs have swelling buds that are turning green, :wOOt: so they believe spring to be just around the corner, too.
Cheers!
Markus
-
Cold and wet, the wind is wild
It can kill you, my dear child))))
-
The winter is back after a few days of pure springtime.. :(
any of you experienced in winter thunderstorms...with lightnings and stuff? I know its a quite rare phenomena but this year we had 2... well...one while it was snowing and it was nothing spectacular, just managed to notice some lightnings and a bit of a thunder, but one was big , probably because it was in a week with highly unusual temperatures for this time of the year.
Can't wait for the spring..i love the weather then.
-
The weather has changed very much... It seems, we'll have to be ready for everything soon.
-
Hey folks,
it's still nicely frosty here, but warmer air is just around the corner - and that's alright even with me at this time of year. If spring comes now, it's alright. :lol3:
No, Gevurah, I don't remember any winter thunderstorms - but I can imagine that it must have been quite impressive.
Cheers!
Markus
-
Well, the weather is starting to finally warm up.
Temperatures of up to 27C. It's awesome.
-
Hey folks,
here the frost is gone, but so is the sunshine. Yesterday we had a clear, cold day with a beautiful dusk and a clear early night. Today it's slightly above 0°C but all cloudy. :(
Cheers!
Markus
-
Hey folks,
for a couple of days we've been having incredible pre-spring-weather: Dry and sunny, with clear skies both day and night. Mild frost in the night, a few degrees above zero in the days. I love it... and it's close to turning the first shrubs green. Today I saw the first crocuses in bloom! :wOOt:
Cheers!
Markus
-
That's great, Markus! :wink2:
-
Hey folks,
this was a rainy day. After a sunny and warm weekend, which made all the leaves explode, I saw and heard my first thunderstorm of this year last night. :) On my roofdeck the mayberry is blooming, the holly is growing new leaves, the apple tree is showing the first buds... without doubt, spring has come!
Cheers!
Markus
-
Same here! :) It was really a "monsoon" here this morning. I had a great migraine at night cause of the temperature and weather change... :/
But after all I am really enjoying this spring :)
-
Well, past week was a normal winter week for us, and since last Friday spring arrived! Temperatures of almost 25º in the midday, people in the beach (I am always surprised how people rush to be beach the very first day of heat!)... and we sowed our sunflowers, again. What will be their hight this summer? More than 2 m? More than 2,5? :wOOt:
-
Oh Regina Mea,
you'll have to visit the neighbours above your apartment in order to see your sunflowers bloom. :biggrin:
Cheers!

:wub: Springggggggg!

The weather is whacked. Over the past two weeks or three we've been getting rain and sandstorms one following the other.
Biggest one was about two weeks ago, looked somewhat like this:
(http://a6.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/198595_10150456796920578_783690577_17738613_7393735_n.jpg)
-
That's terrible. I cannot really imagine sandstorms... do the people go to work? They can't really breath don't they? What about the air conditioning? Usually it would break cause the little tiny parts of the sand would screw it up... How do they protect it?
-
It really didn't cause much harm actually... Just left a lot of annoying sand all over the place.
-
:blink:
Glad to hear that it didn't harm a lot. But anyway it's awful!!
-
Whew, that's one sandstorm, Jorge!
Is that a view from your place or was it taken somewhere else? Anyway, it's an impressive moment with one skyscraper still in front of the sand with others engulfed already.
Not much damage done? Is that a common phenomenon down there? How do people deal with it? Does everyday life go on or do the sand storms stop traffic?
Over here it's been quite windy, too. There was a kind of sandstorm in the Northern part of Germany, caused by strong winds blowing over barren, dry fields. As the sand crossed a highway it blocked the view so badly that a deadly mass crash happened...
Best regards
Markus
-
That's from some place else.
Funnily, while the storm occurred, I was enjoying an awesome afternoon nap.
And sandstorms are common, but none of that magnitude. Either way, all it did was filling the entire place with (more) sand.
-
In the past few days we've had a really windy weather, and guess what it brought combined with many weeks of absolutely no rain - sandstorms! I guess Markus can confirm th too, because I've seen the news about the terrible car accident on a German highway. It caused similiar problems here as well, but luckily no such big accidents. But we're definitely not prepared for such conditions, it prolly would have been totally ordinary in more sandy places.
It was really surprising, these happen in like every ten years. I instantly had Jorge's picture in my mind when I've heard about it, NTSMS is now in my head all the time. :lol3:
-
NTSMS is now in my head all the time. :lol3:
There's no turning back, there's no turning back... :w00t_jump:

:ninja:
:lol:
-
Well, another sandstorm hit today.
I got to school to find out classes are cancelled.
-
Hey folks,
no more sandstorms here, no thunderstorms or any other dramatic weather phenomena. Just clear blue skies, sunny days, a light breeze for several weeks now. Pleasant weather to be outdoors - but it's becoming a serious threat to agriculture and all that is green in general. Luckily we have the chance to get at least some rain by Wednesday or Thursday.
Cheers!
Markus
-
Markus! That's fine! And seems to be like ours).
And hope that sanstorms will atack Jorge and others NO more!
-
Whew, at last some rain has arried here and at our cottage. There was some hail, too, but it didn't do any damage, apparently. :) Oh, did I mention the thunder? :ninja:
Cheers!
Markus
-
Man, it's getting hot again. ¬¬
40 degrees celsius and above. :afaid:
-
:dead smiley:
In such a weather even zombies would not wake up!
-
Scary, Jorge!
I suppose that's a bit easier to bear due to the dry air, but still it's very, very hot.
Cheers, anyway!
Markus
-
The heat's only starting. It'll hit temperatures above 50 by mid-June or something.
Thank Notessomess and Cthulhu for AC.
-
Jorge, :wacko: :o! It's increadible! I hope you have everything to cool the air at home!
-
Sounds very deserty indeed. What are the summer nights like, Jorge?
Cheers!
Markus Nonarabicus
-
Summer nights are as warm as early spring days (temperatures between 30 and 40 degrees).
So yes, we still get barbecued alive at night if the AC isn't on. :biggrin:
-
Don't forget to put some spicy sauce on then! :roll:
-
Would you like some bread with your neighbour or some more salad? :ninja:
-
I'd enjoy more salad, please :cht2: :cht2: :cht2:

You mean EATING The One? :unsure: Well, this reminds me of...

The Chief Anglerfish wouldn't even bother to barbecue anyone. He'd skip that part and go straight to the eating. I wonder how he's doing... sighs
Well, no eating NTSMS members! Only their neighbours and only with appropriate sauce and side dishes.
Cheers!
Markus
-
I miss Rick :)
-
Yeah... Rick and Alu and Eresh and Vlad and Livi... so many good folks we haven't seen for ages. But that's a topic of its own.
Cheers, anyway!
Markus
-
Hey hey, I know I'm cute and chubby and everything, but no eating! :ninja:
...Ah well, guess what? Kuwait is again having another fit of weather bipolarity. Temperatures have dropped a bit and now there's a cloudy white sky.
Well, at least it isn't the oven it was two days ago.
-
Got some news too...
Ugly weather, isn't it??? :lol: It's really nasty weather here. It makes me fall asleep (when I need to study) and so few daylight...
-
Something for you, Markus: look here (http://www.idokep.hu/hirek/porordog-vasvaron). :)
-
Hey folks,
a dust devil, how cute! :wub: Thank you, Lucy. :) You know, I wouldn't be able to resist approaching and trying to touch it, just to know what it feels like and to see if you can stand inside one without serious harm.
Here, we have got our rain and now there is a mix of sun, clouds and showers.
Cheers!
Markus
-
I hear thunder :) Thor Amighty is slamming the door of Valhalla :afaid: :ninja: :afaid:
-
Either that - or he's slamming his jar on the table because he's run out of mead. :wicking: Yet again.
-
Well, last night Thor seemed to visit Kuwait as well. Didn't find any mead apparently, because he was damn loud too. :ninja:
-
Oh, You would not believe what a STORM it was during the night! Absolutely awesome! I had to switch all electricity...
The lightnings were so strong that only when I hide into the room without windows with closed door I could not see it, otherwise, I could use curtains, hands, pillow and still when there was a flash of light it still felt like..
(http://images.hollywood.com/site/mib.jpg)
After each lightning I was very desorianted and such. And thunders made shake the things in flat - my lungs also!! Oh, that was so pretty Seems Thor didn't get his mead for a long time already :afaid: anywhere :verymad:
:wicking: :wicking:
-
That must have been quite close, Kris!
Another one seems to be coming up here. Let's see what this one brings - let's hope for it to water my plants without harming them. :)
Cheers!
Markus
-
Maybe You should place them in You flat for the night?
-
Good idea, Kris, but there's not nearly enough space. Also it would make them miss a lot of sunlight, so all I do is to make sure they don't get blown off the roof-deck - and call on the Vanir that they may spare me any hail.
Cheers!
Markus
-
Beginning of the storm. Thor knocks again on the door!

-
Maybe You should place them in You flat for the night?
:roll:
I'm sorry Kris, I just imagined the situation... :lol:
What a wonderful photo! :thumbup: It means that tomorrow Thor will enter my country too. :wOOt:
-
Thor seems to have not come back ever since two nights ago. He's learned the Arabs don't drink mead.
Expecting retaliation from the Gods in the near future. :afaid: :ninja:
-
Yeah, I wonder to paint some nice Thor's hammer this weekend. For his celebration and burn it at the balcony as a sacrifice for him :afaid:
-
Hey folks,
Kris, did you take that photo by yourself?
Do paint a Miollnir if you feel like! But please take a photo before sacrificing it. (Or just keep the painting and offer him some mead. By drinking it in his honour. :wicking:)
Jorge, perhaps there is some al-Thor around who prefers hemp to honey?
Cheers!
Markus
-
Oh yes, I did :) It took me several minutes on the balcony to catch that lighning :)) as You see, the quality is terrible cause I had to zoooooom a lot. And as it is just cell phone camera, it's pretty pixelish :D
But my dear cell phone does the best it can!
Let's see with the Mjǫlnir what can I do! (But in any case, I have got a mead too... one bottle safe in the bar!)
That's a good question, Markus, for Jorge... what if he prefers there something else?
-
Biiiiig congrats, then, Kris! I can imagine it wasn't easy to catch that one.
-
Congrats to my cell phone! x) It has a special ability... called "best pic TM" it catches several pics in few seconds ... about 6 and then You can choose which one You like best. It's awesome exactly for this :) I was lucky, this was the last pic it made in the line. And the lightning just came x)
-
Oh :) Grímsvötn is erupting :)
(http://i.huffpost.com/gen/280588/thumbs/r-GRIMSVOTN-VOLCANO-ERUPTION-ICELAND-large570.jpg)
-
Retaliation from the Gods received: 50°C temperatures :ninja:
-
Oh crap :cht:
-
Ouch, Jorge,
that should be enough to literally fry something. :afaid: What have you done to provoke that?
Kris, that reminds me of the Eiapopeia or whatever the thingy was called whcih blew up last year, stopping European aviation for several days. Not that I missed the planes in the sky, but that was pretty bad for all those who were dependent on planes.
Cheers!
Markus
-
Having no mead to offer. :ninja:
-
Yes, but I think that Grímsvötn is not that terrible as Eyjafjallajökull : )) They say it's not gonna be such a big fun as the eruption last year :( But at the same time - my friend was on a plane for 11 hours to America yesterday... so basically I am glad that no planes were affected.
You should get some, dear One :ninja: Seems the weather god is in pretty bad mood in last days. :spock:
-
And the summer is only beginning... Jorge, you should find out how to appease the local weather gods - or relocate somewhere less furnacy.
Kris, I've read the same - that this eruption is not likely to impact traffic as much as the Eia-thingy last year. Probably nobody would even notice another Icelandic volcano burping if it were not for last year's pause in aviation.
Cheers!
Markus

:wOOt:!
When I was going home from my studies the sun was shining and it was warm enough. But then I stopped to make a call, and at this moment suddenly came a lot of grey clouds and the sun disappeared, and the wind started blowing with such speed that I fell on my knees! I stood up and ran to the underground. But after 15-17 minutes when I went out of it the sun appeared again and there was a very-very bright rainbow )))
-
Bipolar weather :wOOt:
-
:roll:
-
So we need a good meteotherapist?
We had wonderful summer weather here recently, warm lots of sun, occasionally some rain or thunderstorm and all the time some refreshing wind. That weather made wonderful flowers bloom, iris and peonies and the first roses...
Right now it's getting colder, but I prefer that to a heat-wave. :)
Cheers!
Markus
-
Heat wave?
(http://bashinginminds.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/castle-heat-wave.jpg)
:roll:
Sorry, we are just watching a series with my bf - called "Castle" and there is a long story about it... it is about writer Richard Castle who joins police detective Kate Beckett during solving cases and he uses her as inspiration for his book character - he bases the book character Nikki Heat on Kate Beckett. And he writes - in that tv serie - a book called Heat Wave. But seems fans were so curious about it that someone (dunno who - I guess that the scenarist of the series?) had to really write the book!!! So it was released like that "Heat Wave" by Rick Castle. And I just had to laugh over the "heat wave" You wrote.
-
:lol3:
A fictional book becoming real? Reminds me of the Al Azif - but that's a story of its own. :lol3:
Cheers!
Markus

OMCD, what a thunderstorm!
At first there was light rain for quite some time, but then it picked up dramatically. I used to think that rains falls down from the sky, but this rain was going from left to right. :blink: Luckily the storm didn't do much damage on my roofdeck as far as I can tell now in the dark.The rain was so dense that you couldn't see further than 50-100 meters, I estimate. At least the nearby town was hidden behind the curtain of water.
There was also some lightning, but you could see only the nearest bolts directly - the rest were only flashes. But there were nearby bolts, sometimes crashing their sharp thunder on us within fractions of a second. Really heavy, and I was glad I wasn't outdoors at that time.
It vanished as fast as it had come, and an hour later we were enjoying some late sunshine again.
Cheers!
Markus
-
It's funny... we had the same just when You wrote about that yesterday :) We had hails actually and the lightnings sometimes took more than 5 seconds... it was fascinating. Until my bf had to go to work in it :/
-
(http://www.spaceweather.com/swpod2011/22jun11/20110621_084000_anim.tim-den.gif)
It's huge storm on the Sun. The pic is showing the solstice solar wind heading to Earth and influencing it's magnetic field.
Anyway... my migraine told me earlier!!!
-
We got a huge spectacular thunderstorm over whole Bohemia : ) Watching it from behind the window :wOOt:
-
I hope it's enjoyable and doesn't do any serious damage. :) We've got a thunderstorm outside, too, and I don't have to water my roof-deck-plants.
I like observing rain and thunderstorms on the internet where you can see the places of rain and their intensity respectively the places where lightning stroke within the past few hours and when. Do you know such websites for your country, too?
Cheers!
Markus
-
Aren't Your lil plants hurt? Here it almost broke a tree..
Oh yes, I have many of such websites in my "favourites" : ) And there's also Amateur Stormchaser Society :lol:
-
Sounds like nice pages, Kris!
No damage done, all the greenies still intact. Thanks to the rain they got over my absence without any stress. :)
Cheers!
Markus
-
They say that there was more than 40 thousand flashlights over Prague they say on the web of Czech Hydrometeorological Office!
And pic of one of the Prague's amateur stormchasers: :blink:

They have links on their website for the German radars too : ) Czech it out: http://www.bourky.cz/ (http://www.bourky.cz/) on the right side of the page
-
Hey folks,
what a thunderstorm that was! For ten or more minutes it seemed that not a single second passed without at least one flash of lightning... Scarily heavy gusts of winds drove insane amounts of water through the air while the trees were bending. That was really intense...
...and it followed a day with a great and very moist heat with some heavy thunderstorms in the morning, too. Then it was sunny (and jungle-hot!) in the afternoon, and now this.
Cheers!
Markus
-
P.S.: The BLIDS lightning locator (http://www.industry.siemens.com/industrysolutions/global/de/blids/service/spion/Seiten/spion_de.aspx) says there were 38.484 lightnings in Germany between 7 and 9 pm, and my vicinity is just a single big red blob on the map. :lol3:
-
Oh yes, we had a pretty good storm around 1 AM here too :D I could not sleep at all.
-
Yeah, those were heavy.
Today it's unbearably hot and humid, but cooler weather is coming up. :nosweat: But only after some more storms and rain. :afaid:
Cheers!
Markus
-
:blink: :blink: :blink:!!!
Hey, friends! Come to Moscow: there're no thunderstorms and the temperature is about 22 deg. C. :btfly:
-
Bye-bye summer! :bye:
But this year it's been way too hot for me too. :unsure:
-
Oh, I am so happy the summer is hopefuly finished :-) After the terrible hots here in last days (around 40°C in shade) I really enjoy colder weather :-)
-
Yeah, yool and sunny coming up. That's some weather for me. :)
-
It's quite weird but our autumns start on the 1st of September :lol3:, so the weather has been cool and rainy for the last few days :biggrin:
-
This early autumn weather in Toronto feels like winter in Kuwait.
I sense this winter will be harsh... :ninja:
-
Coooooool! :wOOt: :wOOt: :wOOt: I am so envious!
Today we had our first autumn weather too. It was sensible in the air. Felt great to me! :wink2:
-
Hey Jorge,
so your first day at university was autumnish? I'm convinced you'll be fine otherwise, but I'm also convinced you're up for some seriously real winter. :wOOt:
Our weather is a cool mix of some sunshine, lots of clouds and some rain.
Oh, taking a walk around the block I noticed that some trees fell in the recent thunderstorm. :blink: I'll try to get some pics before they're removed.
Cheers!
Markus
-
Don't be envious... I think I caught a bit of a cold. Well, part of it is probably the result of all the cheering and obnoxious screaming for my university's welcome week. :barca: *Insert "York U" instead of "Barca" on that banner*
-
Eh, Jorge,
As for me, I'd like cold weather much more than heat. So send me some cold days if you wish to get rid of them :lol3:.
Well, this winter can be harsh, but we're told it will ne mild almost all over the world. So don't worry much. Time shall tell)))
-
Oh yeah, and I just found out how thin the walls are... I'm buying winter clothes asap. :ninja:
-
Have you got an electrical heater? I think it would be a good idea. You can also fill the space between window frames with wadding and fix it with adhesive tape. It helps to preserve the normal temperature inside.
-
Another classical summer storm has just passed...
About 20 minutes ago a loud swoosh outdoors caught my attention. I went to my roof-deck just to see the wind seriously picking up. Trees were bending, leaves and seeds were flying high in the air, pieces of dust and gravel were darting around, hitting me like needles. In the sky, a typical roll cloud was moving across my place, followed by dark grey clouds with a leaden, blueish-grey shimmer in between.
Then the rain came, and with it lightning and thunder. The rain was very, very heavy, creating a grey veil made of many individual strands. My roof-deck was covered in water, flowing to a corner and then down the drain. After a while even some grains of hail were mixed in. When the first lighter patches of sky appeared, the rain subsided quite quickly.
Short but intense. I hope there wasn't much damage this time.
Cheers!
Markus
-
O_o! I see what it was like! About 2 weeks ago I was caught by the thunder when I was walking in a forest. It was almost the same. I was scared to death! Thankfully, after 10 minutes of running I could hide a shop. It was nasty.
-
It's been raining for a week, I guess. But the weather is nice. About 15 deg C and very calm.
-
Yeah, that must have been scary... of course the rain is very unpleasant, but the storm and lightning can be really dangerous.
Looks like we're up for a couple of calm, mildly warm days. :)
Cheers!
Markus
-
We had a wonderful storm tonight :-)
-
It's a warm and nice 25 degrees celsius out there. :biggrin:
-
Isn't that a bit boring, Jorge? I mean, we've got storms and thunder and lightning and hail and rainfloods and even some tornadoes, and you're just coming up with nice weather? ¬¬
Cheers!
Markus
-
We're having the most wonderful golden autumn weather with the clearest of skies, warm, sunny days, cool, ultra-clear nights which are moonless right now. Just plain wonderful! :)
Cheers!
Markus

Exactly the same here, dear Markus! :) I enjoy it a lot cause it is not so hot for me - so I have everyday 2 hour walk around this part of city.
-
Autumn is kicking in. And man, it's getting cold.
I need a jacket to walk outside without freezing. :ninja:
-
Yeah, within the past few days the warm, sunny autumn weather was replaced by cooler, cloudier and windier weather. Even I put on a jacket,and that surely means something!
Cheers!
Markus
-
Those days, today included, we're arriving to more than 30, even 35º, as a maximum temperature. What's that??!??! Autumm or in the middle of summer??? :blink:
I want some cold, to be able to wear longsleeve, even a light jacket, not only at 6.30 a.m. or because the air conditioning in the train :bawl:
-
It's been raining 3 days in a row here :-(. Kinda annoying so much water. I have a leak in my room too >:(. It's a tropical storm that is affecting the country and it seems there is another one coming after this one :-(.
-
here it's cold. About 5-10 degrees. At the weekend it will be -5 degrees at night.. I'm already wearing a jumper and a warm coat + gloves.. I would like to have your weather, Luth..
-
Hey folks,
Luth, give it some time. Winter will come! He's just stopped somewhere on the road to you, having a snack so he can strike at full force when he arrives. :)
Eresh, that sounds scary. Those storms can do a lot of serious harm, so I can just hope you'll be fine.
Agnes, our weather is similar to yours. Cool, sunny days, cold, clear nights with a light frost. I enjoy this. :) Yesterday I've even seen a tiny patch of ice in the afternoon. :blink: This means that even I wear a long-sleeved short or a short-sleeved plus a jacket! :biggrin: (One week ago I was still going for a long afternoon-doggie-walk in short sleeves which was funny, because everybody else was dressed up as for winter - thick jackets, caps, scarves... :disgust: :lol3:)
Cheers!
Markus
-
About 5-10 deg., too, very calm and nice. To my humble opinion, it's the best october I can recall.
-
Well... Autumn arrived! Not only I can wear longsleeve for fist time since... since... when was last time I had to wear longsleeve and jacket? I can't remember :fish:
As I was saying, not only now it's colder (more according to the moment of the year we're now), but rain has arrived. In fact, storms arrived. If I have to tell... sky is falling... it's raining dogs and cats and elephants and tigers and... Today it has been very funny. From work to the train it had been raining so much that it was impossible to cross some streets without soaking your feet on water. Of course, I've arrived to the station with more water than jeans and trainers. Then, I had an appointment with the doctor (usual checkup) and I had time very tight... so I was forced to walk very fast despite the hard rain and wind and thunders and lightenings. The most fun came when my umbrella broke... Not only the few meters I still had until arriving to the doctor, but all the way back, with the hard rain falling again.
Ok, I arrived home soaking wet from hair to feet. Luckily I had a warm shower awaiting for me :lol3:
-
What's the point in taking a shower when you're wet, anyway? :unsure:
-
Fogging moisture! :ninja: :roll:
We had some more lovely Golden October days - which were one hell of a sight with all the intensely coloured autumn leaves under a blue sky - but today the weather turned very Novemberish, with nothing but fog all day long.
Cheers!
Markus
-
Sooo many leaves.
But I'm freezing. :afaid: :ninja:
-
So Canada is colder than Kuwait? :unsure:
-
Also many leaves here :-) I sometimes can finally meet the huge piles of orange/redish fallen leaves and if I wasn't ill at home I would really enjoy that :)
-
Get better soon, Kris! :hug2:
Shall we keep some leaves and some sunshine for you?
Cheers!
Markus
-
Awww, Kris, get well! Lil' Chtuly wishes you get well too! It purred it in my ear (yes, you can believe that! :innocent: ).
-
Thank You both :)
-
Hey folks,
we're having strange weather. It's mild and windless; the strange thing is the sunshine. The air is extremely moist - your breath will come out in visible puffs, there's a very, very fine mist in the air, visible only when sunrays and shadows alternate (sunlight through trees) and anything wet will take ages to dry. Still there was no fog today. In the morning there was some very pretty fog right along the river but that's all, the day remained sunny. Only now there's fog outside.
Luckily we don't have the massive rain that is troubling the countries on the Mediterranean shore. Luth, I hope it's only annoying to you and not as bad as elsewhere!
Cheers!
Markus
-
Eya Markus!
Indeed, only a little annoying. Besides some minor problem in some parts of the country (flood on lower floors and such), the rain is very welcome. We had two months of drought, and rain is falling pretty well: continuously, although sometimes too heavy, usually regular intensity. We needed water: no mushrooms because too heat and too few water! Now, some mushrooms will appear :wOOt:
It seems all water and wind came here :blink:
-
No rain here, but no need to water anything. In fact, right here and now the fog is so dense that water is dripping from the bare twigs of the trees. :blink:
Cheers!
Markus
-
It snows!!!
-
Your first snow this winter? :wOOt:
You can tell that we had our first snow - or at least frost - when my signature turns to "Hell Nifel!" :biggrin:
Cheers!
Markus
-
Nice! :-)
We got a first "frost" today. Below the zero this morning. :-)
-
Your first snow this winter? :wOOt:
You can tell that we had our first snow - or at least frost - when my signature turns to "Hell Nifel!" :biggrin:
Cheers!

Everything is soooo :cht: !

We got a Silent Hill weather today...

-
Feels like winter is close.
There's small little showers of snow flakes every now and then.
I'm terrified for what the next few weeks will be like. :ninja:
EDIT: Just walked through snow. A first time. Felt interesting.
-
Wow, really first time? For me it's VERY RARE to see snowing (despite the fact that two years ago I got stuck in Barcelona due to a snow accumulation), but I've seen it few times on my life. It must have been wonderful, was it not? I mean... I'm sure you'll get tired of it very soon, but a new thing is ever exciting!!! :yeha:
Btw... Does anyone remember a round, yellowish thing that used to be up there in the sky? I can't remember the name... I know it appeared a lot this summer (very very dry summer), but this November is, at the moment, one of the rainiest from 1927 or such in Catalonia (the third rainiest at the moment). Yesterday I heard this data. And half a month to continue raining and exceed those figures. My poor umbrellas... (the ones that survived, not the one broken the first windy storm)... they have never been so busy!
Spain, a country of sun and beach and... well... I think we must change the topic a little :afaid:
-
Yeah, it's the first time I've seen snow in conscious memory.
I'm pretty sure I saw some as a toddler, but that's something I obviously don't remember.
-
Can you send me a little? It would be fun to start a snow-battle... :whistle:
-
Isn't wonderful?! : )))
-
The funny thing is that the snow showers are so short there's not even a single snow bed on the ground. :ninja:
-
Hey folks,
Jorge, I think you will get some serious snow cover soon. And then I hope that your railway companies and your municipalities are smarter than ours who went "Snow? Snow?! Who could have ever expected snow right now, in winter?" last year. :fish:
Our weather is boring. High pressure without end! Sometimes more foggy, sometimes clearer, sometimes a bit frosty, sometimes a bit above zero - but always that calm high pressure weather. Well, as far as I'm concerned we can keep this kind of boredom for another while!
Cheers!
Markus
-
Snow its laying its first bed... It's beautiful. :bawl:
-
Lucky you! That must be beautiful... Over here, the drought is still strong - rivers at low water revealing more bombs from WWII.
-
Then I got a Christmas song for You, Markus! :-) It's definitely a right "bomb-atmosphere". Jolly song!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t039p6xqutU&ob=av2e (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t039p6xqutU&ob=av2e)
-
Another song that can't be viewed from Germany... But thanks, anyway - I think I've got an idea of the song. :wink2:
-
Hey folks,
a serious storm is approaching. It's the kind we call "Orkan" in German. I've found "hurricane" as a translation but of course we're not talking about the tropical hurricanes here. This name is given to any storm with wind speeds of 120 km/h or more. The worst part will pass us by, but what we'll get is heavy enough, including some heavy rain. There's a severe weather alert and there's likely to be some damage.
In the mountains it's even worse than down here because "Joachim" is a snow storm there. Trees are collapsing under the weight in the storm. Let's hope that no people get seriously injured.
Oh, and farewell, my dear winter-barbecue tonight. :bye:
Cheers, anyway!
Markus
-
P.S.: "Joachim" has even developed an eye: The center of the storm is almost wind- and cloudless. :blink:
-
We got the orkan here too (also call it the same). Not in Prague, here is very strong wind but not so strong. Orkan is in the mountains...
-
I'm glad that you're not directly affected, either. :)
Well, Eresh can probably just laugh at our "severe weather" but to me it's scary enough. I do hear sirens more often than usual today, that's probably due to the storm - even though it's not sooo bad here.
Cheers!
Markus
-
Severe weather brings catastrophes in my country. And I mean catastrophes. We are never prepared for our long winters (which involves ridiculous amounts of rain). It's very sad because as always, poor people are the most affected :bawl:
Now it is summer (we only have summer and winter) and during this time of the year we get hit by a few "cold fronts". Which is nice. But usually cold fronts bring strong winds, and again, poor people are affected because it damages their homes :-(
By the way, I have never seen snow :blink: only on TV, etc :ninja:
Today it is hot. I am thinking 28C. Very sunny (turns on her fan). Read on the newspaper we might have rain ¬¬. Weather is going nuts :wacko:
-
Yeah, Eresh, I'm aware that your storms are much worse than ours. And luckily even "Joachim" passed without any major damage here.
Never seen any real snow? Well, we still get some every now and then; the past two winters were pretty cold and snow-rich. Perhaps you'll get some snow on a journey one day. :)
Cheers!
Markus
-
Canada's weather has been behaving oddly.
It's middle of freakin' December, yet there's been very little snowfall. The first snowbeds seemed to be the last; they were gone after a pair of days and it really hasn't snowed ever since. I'm hoping that it snows when I'm back from my winter holiday in Kuwait (yeah, that makes perfect sense... One week or so... in Kuwait... :ninja:).
-
Kuwait? Winter? Only 30°C?
But we're not getting any real winter, either. Yeah, it's a bit colder now, but there's no snow and the next warm days are coming up. :bawl:
Cheers, anyway!
Markus
-
It's closer to 15°C, but it's nothing like the -8°C we had here the other day. No snow. But damn, walking through the street that day was one of the worst mistakes I've ever made. :ninja:
-
Hey folks,
when I was to Munich early last week I saw a little bit of snow there. But last Saturday there was some serious snowfall even down here, and it's been frosty ever since, so at last I'm getting some winter this winter. :yeha:
Cheers!
Markus Frigophilus
-
The past week has been pretty snowy here as well. But it's odd; it snows, stays there for a day or so, melts and disappears. Rinse and repeat.
-
Got some pics? :-)
Here we are getting real winter this week. It finally started to freeze. Today it's supposed to be -5°C during the day and on Sunday -11°C during day and -30°C at night :unsure: It's rather unpractical on that day cause in the Sunday morning at 9:00 AM we are supposed to attend an excursion at the airport - which is rather windy and cold place even without this Russian winter (it really came from Ural this cold front) so I really wonder how am I going to make it with no proper clothes.
Not to mention the frosts in Tromso... which is waiting for me on 16th Feb. :lol3:
-
-30°C at night :
O_O
:afaid: :afaid: :afaid:
I'd die... :fish:

Oh, River, I see! We're freezing, too. Of course, we also could not escape this front from Ural. In fact, I can't remember when the end of January was so cold (and the beginning - so warm :)).
I didn't buy winter boots and my old ones I forgot in a cottage, so now I'm suffering :))).
-
I'm freezing too! I was outside today and I was wearing winter boots, tights + socks, jeans, long shirt, polar jacket, winter jacket, gloves, scarf, hat and a hood. IT ALL DIDN"T HELP! It is soooo cold that my fingers were turning purple.. Now I'm finally home, eating hot cucumber soup and warming up my fingers by touching the bowl ;)
-
Yep... It's getting pretty cold, and the snow is actually settling in.
6cm of snow or so. :ninja: That was all from snowfall last night.
-
I see all Europeans suffer the same :lol:
I bought a cap today. :ninja: Pics later.
-
Cold is coming here... tomorrow and Friday it will be fully here. It's said that there will be the lower temperatures for almost 25 years... and we'll be below 0 even on the coast. Well... I'll be able to tell you, as I live on the coast :fish:
-
Unfortunately, no pics. But it's really wonderful, with snow and lots of sun.
The cold is heavy, though. It's so cold that sometimes I'm even wearing and undershirt beneath my pullover, and that surely means something! :lol3:
Strange thing is that up to now the winter was way too warm so nobody really expected this anymore. Meteorologists say that cold at this time of the year may mean a long winter, well into March. We'll see... I'm also curious about the winter coming to Spain now.
Cheers!

...AND the bipolarity of the weather strikes again. 10 degrees Celsius today.
I could've gone around just in my longsleeve and I'd have been fine. :ninja:
-
Well, I've just heard that, at the weekend, we can reach -5º on the coast. We'll see :ninja:
I think I've never ever been at -5º in all my life :roll: :afaid:
-
it's -15º right now in Warsaw. Coming nights it will be about -30º! - or just they say that.. but it was almost -20º last night.. brrrrr! :afaid: :afaid: :afaid:
-
Hey folks,
Well, I've just heard that, at the weekend, we can reach -5º on the coast. We'll see :ninja:
I think I've never ever been at -5º in all my life :roll: :afaid:
Oh my coldest queen, if that is true, then ordinary water might turn into a solid, glossy substance that we Northeners call "ice". Watch out for that! :nana:
Agnes, that cold is really heavy. This is weather that I'm taking serious because it's getting scary - you don't want to be stuck outdoors in that cold! :afaid:
Cheers!

Yes... I know that’s nothing for you, northeners. But don’t laugh at me for that... not too much... :ninja:
If I was at -30º, I'd simply die in nanoseconds, y'know :afaid:
PS. Of course, I’m talking about the coastline. On the mountain (the Pyrinees, for instance) I’ve heard they can arrive at -20º... :ninja:
PS2. I've just read that near the Tordera (the river that it's a few kilometers from my town) they can reach -14º???!! That's the usual temperature on winter on the mountain! :afaid: :blink:
-
View it as an exciting adventure, my queen! :)
-
Yes, Markus is right. Take it as a challenge and also interesting add to this year - might not happen for another 20 years or so :-)
I myself will have hard time on Sunday at the airport.

-
Hard as an icicle, Kris. :afaid: But I hope you'll enjoy it. :)
Myself, I like the cold a lot. Spring is not all the fun it can be unless there was some serious frost first. I even find the dry, biting cold very invigorating!
Cheers!
Markus
-
Ok... I'll do it!
(http://fortnightlitpress.files.wordpress.com/2011/05/knapp01.png?w=480)
Tomorrow it's possible I see snow (not much forecast). I don't mind, I even enjoy because its rarity... If I don't get stuck in Barcelona because trains or car transport is absolutely impossible, as it happened to me two years ago :ninja:
-
In that case, milady, grab your sleigh, kidnap a horse, and then off you go!
-
Oh yes... my sleigh? Where did I put it last time I needed it? :whistle:
Btw... Why kidnapping a horse? I already have two or three just in case :lol3:
-
Uh... oh... and heavy winds and, of course, WAVES. If there is a little cold and a few snow, and my train decides there are a lot of tecnical problems and can't travel... For Markus and Lucy, who know how near from the sea my train goes, imagine! I can imagine:
"No, no, no!! We can't travel! You see... for sure the train will slip with ice, and if not, it will be swallowed by a gigantic, frozen wave. And, if not, the Mayas will be right and the End of the World will happen now!!"
Tomorrow can be an "interesting" day :roll:
-
I rather enjoy the weather too. Especially like on day such as one we had today. Freezing cold but sunny skies :-)
-
Sure, Luth,
even up here in Germany it usually takes only three to five snowflakes to disrupt public transportation and cause a general chaos.
Well, keep us informed, please, until your internet connection freezes!
Cheers!
Markus
-
-9 and a little of snow.. dissapointed! they said it will be at least 50 cm.. it's not even 10... :disgust:
-
No snow since those 6cm from a few days ago melted. Now it's just windy, chilly and annoying.
-
Seems that all the fine winter weather is here - a little bit of snow is lying outdoors, it's frosty yet sunny... and it's supposed to stay that way for some more time. :yeha:
-
Hey folks,
still we're having the loveliest winter weather. So on my way from the office to the train, across the white fields, I just had to listen to Secret of the Runes. What an experience to hear "Ginnungagap" in the icy fields with the sun shining right on you! "Nifelheim" was a must as well.
And then I saw glistening crystals of ice lying on the snow cover, reflecting and refracting the light of the sun. So the snow was glistening with lots of tiny bright lights, bright as small LEDs - bright and clear in its pristine rainbow colours as the sparkling of a diamond! What a sight...
Cheers!
Markus
-
Hey hey! It's snowing in Warsaw :D
-
So we got snow from yesterday too. Today is snowing all day. Not much but it is. I happy for the snow but at the same time it's making me worry a bit - even though I still have a week left. I am afraid my flight might be very much delayed or cancelled next Thursday. :(
-
Winter is approaching its end. :bye: The severe frost is over, we just have some mild degrees below zero and are getting a thaw soon - probably connected to moister air with rain or some last snow. This is a pity because I just loved the winter weather, but I'm happy that we had at least those 2 1/2 weeks of genuine winter. :)
Cheers!
Markus
-
Finally, some snow again. And I'm hearing it'll be probably be like this until mid-March.
-
it's snowing from the night.. all the time. Finally it's winter, not Siberia :D
-
They predicted there'd be a snow storm... What did we actually get? A slushy dropping from the sky, pretty much.
So the outside world resembles a dirt and grass slushy.
-
:disgust: Blizzards aren't what they used to be any more. :disgust:

Hello! I arrived this morning to Zürich and it was absolutely awesome spring day here! I even did not need to take a coat but had tank top and one thing sweater and then a sweathsirt. The city looked so beautiful and peaceful - people sitting first time outside the restaurants eating their sandwiches and meals and drinking coffee enjoying the sun and fresh air. A fairytale! I saw swans after long time too and well - it was simply a beautiful day!
-
Hey folks,
we're having the first really fine, sunny, warm springish (i.e. vernal) day of the year. :wOOt: Fine and sunny and warm and springish enough for me to take a short roofdeckian sunbath. :)
Cheers!
Markus
-
The weather has gone insane in Canada. Not but a week ago, we were still having snow and temperatures below zero.
Lo and behold, this week, it's all 9°C and above, it's sunny, nice and warm.
Somebody tell me just what the hell is up with the weather here....
-
Somebody tell me just what the hell is up with the weather here....
Obviously it has taken a look at the calendar. Less than a week to go before the equinox!
Cheers!
Markus
-
Hey folks,
did you get some rain, Luth?
Over here it's nicely sunny, but a bit of water from above would come in handy, too. We're having a bit of a drought which is worrying the farmers and gardeners.
Cheers!
Markus
-
We had one day and half of rain... not enough, definitively, but we'll survive for a bit longer... We're on the worst draught for some decades (several fires in winter... not even on spring!) :afaid:
Dances the Rain Dance for Spain and Germany.
-
It was nice and warm, reaching temperatures up to some 25°C last week. This week? It feels like the weather decided to go bipolar once more! We had everything between 3°C and -10°C (no snow though). What sorcery is this?!
-
It should be Spring all the time..but it's snowing riight now in Warsaw..
-
:blink: really? That's a bit strange but well - it's that kind of "April weather".
-
yup! huuuuuge snowflakes ;) btw...is cold last days.. Hope it will be around 15 degrees in a week..
-
Yeah, it's become a bit colder over here as well. Though I suppose that 8-10°C and some light frost at night is pretty normal for this time of year and the extra warmth we had recently isn't.
Anyway, now clouds are rolling in but the morning was utterly sunny. So it's good that I did a long doggie walk right then. :biggrin:
Cheers!
Markus
-
Hey folks,
we're up for some genuine April weather right now. Yesterday I even heard my first thunder of the year. :evil2:
Cheers!
Markus
-
Sunny and warm, but too dry. At least sunny and warm enough to take a sunbath on the priestly roof-deck. :)
Cheers!
Markus
-
very very warm and sunny here as well. No need to wear a longsleeve :)
-
All clouds here... And forecast of 3 rainy days in Andorra :mad3:
Can you lend us some of your sun? :bawl:
-
In exchange for some rain at the right time - sure! :thumbup:
-

Gladly - it's 29th April and we have 30°C in shade. I hate this.
-
That hot already? :unsure: I understand you well; I don't like the heat, either. But the sun I'm actually enjoying.
Still that doesn't mean, that the summer will have to be unbearably hot. We'll see. :)
Cheers!
Markus
-
Yes, sunny weather is fine but the heat I don't like :) Especially not in spring. I want spring. Not summer :)
-
Hey folks,
I just had a wonderful weather experience: A diffuse yellow light lured me out onto my roof-deck. The air was calm, and to the Southwest there were windmills standing still. To the south a thunderstorm was raging out of leaden clouds and the smoke from a chimney was being blown away by the wind. The yellow light came from a large display of mammatus clouds to the Northwest - something I've never seen before. :wOOt:
Then a light breeze came up and the windmills started moving while the mammatus faded. Let's see how this continues - I do hope that we get some rain.
Cheers!
Markus
-
P.S.: Why don't the gods listen to me? I have asked for rain, not for stormwinds or a stroboscope of lighting. :disgust:
-
I did not get either :( I only heard some thunder and there was a short shower but no promised storm :(
-
Some rain at last!
There were several sunny and dry weeks. The weather was pleasant but it didn't rain. The meadows were beginning to dry out, rivers and lakes running on low water. It was starting to scare me - and at last we got some rain. It came rather gently last Saturday, over a few hours - slow enough for the ground to absorb the water.
A lot more rain is coming up today. I just hope for a little bit of sunshine on Wednesday morning, right at sunrise... :ninja:
Cheers!
Markus
-
Here it's rainy in last days too :) Well, it's heading here right from Your direction : ))
I am glad even though it's bit depressing... because all the plants and the grass was dry and yellow and the rain was a lot needed already also for the agriculturists too.
-
We're having a rather dry week, but just today there has to be rain to almost all Catalonia. I've seen so little drop this morning, but not very much... in fact, where I live is one of the very few places where huge storms are not on the forecast! :evil2:
-
We're having more sandstorms than it should be legal. :ninja:
-
Where would that be, Jorge? Al-Sand or Maple Country? :unsure:
Cheers!
Markus
-
Al-Sand of course. Been here for over a month, want to go back to Canada ASAP. :ninja:
-
I see, Jorge. Well, I wanted to be sure because a) I wasn't aware that you're staying so long and b) sand storms can become surprisingly much of a problem even up here.
Cheers!
Markus
-
Yeah... But see, over the past 20 days or so, we've had 4 or 5 sandstorms pass by. The sky's been orange most of them, and while it's a cool sight at first, it does become boring after a while. Not to mention that going out with a sandstorm out there is guarantee that you'll be covered in it, not to mention that driving becomes horrible with the lowered visibility.
-
50°C in the sun in here, folks!
I really missed the moment when ČR moved from mild temperate zone to subtropic. bitter smile
-
I have no idea of the temperature on the sun, but at the shadow, it reaches 30º... and it's not the hottest day. Tomorrow, with the storms, time will be a lot milder :lol3:
-
50°C in the sun in here, folks!
Jesus Kris, when did you move to Kuwait?
-
40°C in shade!
I think this is the end of the world! :nosweat:
-
we had 33°C in shade today.
after that (about 4pm) we had a storm with rain and hail. it's so sultrily...
-
Today between 15-20º anywhere. It's all cloudy :biggrin:
-
Believe it or not, folks,
we had a light fog last night!
The weather has been unsettled for a few weeks now: Occasionally sunny, warm but not hot, often cloudy and with rain-showers. Showers and sometimes severe thunderstorms.
The week before my birthday we had such a heavy rain around our cottage that mud flowed from the surrounding fields, actual brooks flowed right through our garden - and the cart-track leading to our piece of ground became impassable. :blink: Dad had been stuck out there for a couple of days, so we did the garden-party in the weekend instead of right at the birthday. Luckily we had parked our cars at the end of the concrete road - because that night another rain refreshed all the mud. We would have been locked in if we had parked our cars right at the cottage!
In fact, a neighbour of ours ignored the mud and got stuck so badly that he had to leave the car there.
One of the thunderstorms also blew a potted fir-tree off my roof-deck. It was standing near the edge and I never expected it to be so easy to blow off. Well, I'll have to see if I can retrieve it...
The weather is not likely to change soon; at this time of year this kind of weather tends to be quite stable. We'll see... actually I don't really miss the big heat; I'd just like the air to be a little dryer than it is right now. :nosweat:
Cheers!
Markus
-
We still have the terrible heat. They say the situation will be better from Monday on - we'll see.
Actually, I'm used to enjoy this weather but this is way too much for me too. :unsure: It's even worse for Jácint. :(
Whoa High Priest, that's some kind of adventure! But say, would you please post some pics of your roof-deck garden? I'm already very curious, because you are used to mention lots of kinds of plants, even big ones, and I guess that your garden must be impressively beautiful. :)
-
here hot and sunny as well. sleeping at night is very difficult.. we had to buy a new fan..
-
Hey folks,
the past weeks were so cool and rainy here that even I didn't quite like it. You know I'm not fond of heat waves and drought, but so far this summer was too cloudy and cool even for my taste. Well, the forecasts are promising some more summery weather coming up...
Cheers!
Markus
-
Hey folks,
today we had the ultimate perfect summer day! Pristine blue skies, burning sun, 34°C in the shade and a light wind. Luckily I could spend it at our cottage, so I could enjoy this weather (instead of suffering from it in the city).
Cheers!
Markus
-
Mildly and warm and somewhat sunny days with cool nights - autumn is coming near!
-
Summer's really gone...it got cold outside, this week it was really not nice and today was the worst of them all.. :afaid:
-
Mmmhhh... what do you count as "cold"? :shifty:
-
We have quite cold weather too :) But I like this kind of cold - when it is sunny and yet fresh cold air. :-) We had this since Sunday... But Saturday was steel-greyish and ugly and it was rather ugly cold on that day :D
I like the weather how it's now. Let's just hope it stays for few more days. (Or the whole autumn :ninja: )
-
It's similar here, Kris,
though I wouldn't call it "cold" yet. Sunny days, fresh nights - lovely early-autumn-weather. But alas, greyer weather is coming up for us.
But my definition of cold may differ from yours. Here's how I define temperatures:
Markus wears...
- ...a thick jacket and the river is frozen - cold
- ...something long-sleeved and there is no ice outdoors at noon - cool
- ...something short-sleeved - warm
- ...something short-sleeved with stains - too warm
- ...nothing at all - get out of my bathroom!
Cheers!
Markus
-
Strange weather today: Clear - stars and moon nicely visible - yet very windy, almost stormy.

Here at Dreamer's Homestead the temperature is colder than in Bp, of course. Luckily there was a lot of rain, so every plant is happy in the garden. :) Today we have a pleasant sunny day, about 20 grades, and wind. Here's always windy, because there are no hills. Enjoy your day guys!
-
It was awesome weather here today 8)
-
Oh, that sounds very pleasant, miladies! Lucy, you do need to keep your plants happy so they can keep your bees happy. :)
Here, the day started sunny and calm. Then it got cloudier, and around 5:30 pm I observed something from my office that I've never seen in the flesh before. You have to know that my office is on the 4th floor of a building that's the highest within a few kilometers on a very flat piece of land, so I have a wide view over the surrounding fields, to a distant horizon.
So there were those low dark clouds rolling in beneath the higher ones, and looking out of the window I noticed something like a cloud travelling right across the ground. It was a cloud of dust, apparently, and it got stronger as it moved across a barren dry field. It looked just like the cloud of debris at the base of a tornado! Was it rotating? I can't tell for sure. I guess not, but at times it seemed to be. There was no funnel descending from the clouds above as you'd expect for a tornado. But as that structure reached some - what? agricultural truck-trailers? bales of straw? - it immediately tore something high into the air.
That structure quickly moved on and dissipated. I'm not sure what it was. A small and faint tornado? Dunno, but at least it was one hell of a wind.
Right after that thing there was a front of heavy rain coming along. Whatever it was, I'm impressed!
Cheers!
Markus

This is a view from my window, the room where is my PC and me right now :whistle:
-
Very nice! :thumbup:
We just had a few grains that vanished as soon as they reached the ground. Apart from that it's unpleasantly moist and cool and grey - well, November's coming up.
Cheers!
Markus
-
So after one beautiful sunny day that would count as that of an Indian summer... It's raining like I'm in Seattle or something.
-
We've got few centimetres of snow this night. Branches of some trees were cut down quite quickly this day cause of the heavy snow they started to endanger people on the streets... :-)
It is very nice... those snowy nights with just city lights. :wub:
-
No snow yet, but lots of rain with colder temperature, almost frost :)
-
some snow stays. It's -3,5°C outside :ninja:
-
Well, it looks like Toronto is getting a bit of the cold touch of Hurricane Sandy, which is currently tearing our lovely Southern neighbors apart. It's currently raining like crazy and the wind is blowing like god-knows-what. It's so damn loud I can't even concentrate to do work.
-
Ouch! Hope you're not getting any serious damage up there!
Best regards
Markus
-
End result for Toronto vs. Hurricane Sandy (so far): 60000 people lost power (most of them got it back already), some trees fell, public transport routes got detoured and some old lady died hit by a street sign that the wind tore off its post. This was all off from Monday night.
Tuesday, which was supposed to be the "holy-crap-we're-all-going-to-die" day of the storm was as calm as any regular rainy day here (we even got to see some patches of blue sky and the sun for a bit!), and today (Wednesday) has so far been the exact same thing. While the hurricane did give the States a huge hit, looks like this bullet grazed us.
Which is good because I can go to the show tonight without fear of being killed by flying debris, being flung back and forth by the wind, having the show ruined by a power loss in the middle of the bands' sets or returning home soaked in rainwater. :biggrin:
-
I've been to the windy North of Moscow today, so I can't comb my hair after that )... But here, in my district, the weather is very nice: cool and a bit snowy.
-
Sounds nice. :)
We are having late autumn weather here. It's calm and the last days were often foggy, with lots of frost on the trees until noon. Today, in contrast, it's very sunny outside.
Cheers!
Markus
-
The icy winter is creeping near, dark skies upon us.
I'm dead serious, it's starting to get cold and the sunset is at like 4:30pm. :ninja:
-
And well, nothing more fitting to the winter solstice: it's snowing. :)
-
from the local weather forecast - it's gonna be above 0 degress during X-mass. I don't like it at all. It was the same exactly a year ago..
-
It's the same here everytime... It is snowing before Christmas, then it melts and then - on Christmas day it usually rains.
-
It's said that, the Christmas day, we can have even 20º as a mzximum (in the coast... where I live). Don't tell me of high temperatures :nana:
-
That's quite strange :blink: I thought that in Spain it is regular winter too... not tropical winter.
-
It is. In the coast, of course, temperatures are always milder. Three or four weeks ago we had very low temperatures (3º or less on the coast), but right now we have a warm air wave, and there's even arriving more for next week. That's the reason :fish:
-
Dry and windy here at 28C I think
-
Hey folks,
we had some wonderful winter weather for a while before it got mild again. Now there are a few cooler days again, with temperatures just around the freezing point, but warmer weather is coming up. :(
Cheers, anyway!
Markus
-
Same here... for now it is snowing outside like if you torn apart a feather pillow but it will melt.
-
Hey folks,
can anyone confirm that the sun still exists? Last time I saw it was back in 2012... :unsure:
Cheers, anyway!
Markus
-
Ask my Deutschlehrerin... she went home (Germany) to be with her Deutsch family those holidays, and she got 12 days of 24 Uhr rain. Sie didn't get any sun until coming back to Barcelona :fish:
-
Aber in Barcelona hat sie die Sonne wieder gesehen? :unsure:
-
Ja :ninja:
-
Jetzt bin ich erleichtert! :)
-
Perhaps you have to come here to see the sun again :biggrin:
-
You know... if I come in November, I might even see a little bite taken out of it. :wOOt: But that would be the fifth journey this year. :insane:
-
In November there's an eclypse? Which zone? :wOOt:
-
On the 3rd November you will get a partial solar eclipse, albeit just a very small one. Really just a tiny bite. But still, a solar eclipse!
-
It's not possible... I've just read that post, and learnt about the 3rd of November... Then I changed to Facebook and seen a photo by a weather programme at our local TV. Those are the astronomical important things that will happen on 2013 :roll:

We really have a lot more sunshine here than we had in Bp. Even now in winter! :)
-
We had kind of spring in last weeks... :-/ Now proper winter what I find rather exhausting. I need the winter to relax like animals do.
Now it's rainy in last days and today it got a bit colder again. So it is that kind of freezing rain (cannot recall the English expression for it).
-
It's still there! :yeha: Today the clouds broke up, showed a little of the blue skies beyond and even let a few sun-rays pass through.
That's a weird image to illustrate the upcoming events, Luth. :blink: That's Venus - but you'll never see it like that from Earth, or with human eyes for that matter. They could have chosen a better one easily, but what the hell! Most important is that they announce some events that people can see easily. :thumbup:
Cheers!
Markus

Hey folks,
some colder and drier air has arrived, and this morning was a winter morning as fine as it can be. :yeha: You know, the cuddly predator has slept at my place, and when we were having the first short walk in the early dawn it was clear and there were some stars visible. After dozing for another hour and having breakfast we took a long walk to the nearby gravel pits at the river.
OMCD! The sun was hanging low in cloudless skies. The snow on the way was glistening in all rainbow-colours. I was slightly frosty but the air was dry and calm, hence the cold wasn't unpleasant. Where the sun shone on my dark clothes it got warm. And then the lake! Deep blue, framed by yellowish-brown reed, bare trees and intensely red cornel. Just plain wonderful! :)
Cheers!
Markus
-
We finally got some snow again today! :wOOt:
-
we've got some too :wOOt: and some cold wind too :afaid:
-
Hey folks,
still the winter is going on here. :yeha: The temperature is below zero all day long, there is snow lying outside - just plain lovely. :) I'm very fond of this late winter time, especially when the weather is like this.
Cheers!
Markus
-
It's bloody freezing out here.
Actually, let me put this in more detail. It was so damn cold that my ears hurt from the cold while I was walking to and from class.
-
I know that feeling :ninja:
-
Me, too, folks! And actually that's just a little too much for me, when the exposed parts of skin start to hurt - especially ears or forehead. But hell, when it just doesn't hurt yet and the ears start to glow once you're back indoors, that's one nice winter feeling. :wOOt:
I'm going to get that feeling now - Abby's at my place and I promised her a long winter-lake-morning-walk. :biggrin:
Cheers!
Markus
-
Lately, we had quite strong winter for us (- 11°C during the day, -20°C during the night)... now there comes milder weather a huge change in two days! Today is already much warmer and on Wednesday it should be almost +10°C!
Then again, on Friday the temperature should drop below zero and the next Monday we expect -8°C. It's like a rollercoaster around here!
I am at home :( cause I am sick with quite an ugly case of tonsillitis :-(
-
Oh, that's bad news, Kris! Take good care and get better soon!
About the weather, it's very similar here: We had lovely winter until last weekend. A warm front came in on Sunday and brought frost-free air, some rain and wind up to storm. It will stay like this until the weekend, even though the temperature will sink a little again. A little, but not enough (no serious frost). In my eyes, this is nasty weather. :tongue: I want some winter back!
Cheers!
Markus
-
Get better, Kris! :unsure:
Here it's one day snow, next day no. :D The snow only stays one day and melts for the next day.
-
Thank you :)
I hope I will. All my chest hurts from the cough.
We had a rain this morning, all the snow is melting down. :( I want more winter too.
-
Toronto weather is bipolar. A week ago I was freezing at nearly -25°C, and now it's around a nice 13°C. Dammit mother nature, make up your mind! You either want to kill me with frost or you want me to be depressed with rainy but otherwise okay weather.
-
Hey folks,
yeah, we have these quick changes over here, too... After some warm days it's getting a bit colder again.
Yesterday was stormy, and in the evening there were lightning and thunder. My first thunderstorm in 2013. :ninja:
Cheers!
Markus
-
yesterday we had a nice but windy Spring day.. Now it's raining again.. :/ The forcast says it will be snowing on Monday, then again raining.. Winter coming back on 14th Feb.
-
Today we had a "white-out": The snow was falling so heavily that the horizon disappeared and you could not tell the distant land from the sky. :blink:
-

Been there, done that. :biggrin:
-
Well, you're in Canada - I think white-outs were invented up there, right? :nana:
-
Yep :nana:
We had more than 12 hours of snowing yesterday too.
-
we had as well :)
-
Is there anyone without snow right now? :unsure:
-
Oh, yes, we! :biggrin:
-
Me!! But it may change in a few days... :ninja:
-
Awww, poor Lucy! And poor Luthy - but the cold air is flowing towards you. Think of a guy in short sleeves when it arrives. :)
You know that I'm very fond of really wintry winters. But I'll admit that I caught myself thinking "OK, this is enough snow for the time being." - I'm looking forwards to spring. But you know what it's like - the later it comes, the more intensely you'll enjoy it. :wink2:
Cheers!
Markus
-
Well... it's said that Monday can snow even in the coast line... nothing sure, of course! Here, it snows once every 3 or 4 years, and usually very few. Except three years ago, when I got stuck in Barcelona because train and roads were all cut because of too much (for us) snow :cht2:
-
Not much of a snow but still white outside :)
I have to admit that this year (guess first time in my life) I wish for spring. I am so much looking forward to taking off the coat, going to school in a hoodie only. :btfly:
And I wish to see the spring flowers! x) Crocuses and such.
-
Yesterday evening the snow has arrived, and for today morning we have about a 10-15 cm thick layer of snow, covering everything. :) And it keeps falling! It looks like we are a bit stuck here. :biggrin:
-
I understand, Kris! :)
Well, as a prologue to spring we have snowdrops and winter aconites in bloom here. :) But for the time being I'll enjoy the remaining winter days - I'm up for a long snowy walk with the cuddly predator.
Lucy, I hope you have all you need under your cozy white blanket. :)
Cheers!
Markus
-
Yes, thank you! :) We always keep some extra food for such cases. Funny is that we have a guest now, who should be in Kecskemét (about 50 km far) in the evening. And János has to go somewhere at 1 pm. So the guys are trying to shoveling the snow away and hopefully going to make the road free with the truck. :D
-
Best of luck
With the truck,
So they can go
Despite the snow!
-
:roll:
-
:roll:
-
Hey folks,
spring may be approaching... there are snowdrops in bloom, and today I saw the first crocus-buds. Also I smelled the first poplar-buds today, which is a scent of spring to me. But for the time being, a new snowfall turned the landscape back to white within a few hours.
Cheers!
Markus
-
On Saturday, midday on the sun, I had to roll up my sleeves... :ninja: :blink:
-
Same here... But today - snow. On Thursday -14°C at night forecasted. :ninja:
-
It's starting to get warm(er) and the geese are starting to flock back in.
You have no idea how much I loathe geese.
-
Noisy?
-
Noisy and illegal to exercise revenge on.
-
Sounds like seagulls to me too :)
-
We have very good weather, and sunshine. On the weekend are some frosty nights to follow (-4, -5 C), but then spring returns. The birds are singing loud and today we have planted the first onions, tomorrow garlic to follow! :)
-
Sounds good, Lucy! Those days are coming up for me as well, but for the time being it's still snowy and cold all day long.
Cheers!
Markus
-
We are buried under a thick, ~25 cm layer of snow. :D
-
you can build a snowman :wOOt: today we had a cold and veeery windy day. No new snow. I want spring.. :btfly:
-
But you've still got electricity, Lucy? :unsure:
Snow lying here, too, but right now it's clear. :)
Cheers!
Markus
-
Yes, we are fine, thank you! But the situation in the whole country is serious. Lot of people got stuck on the roads, even highways, despite that the they could hear everywhere a notification that everyone should stay at home. The Ministry of the interior even sent sms-es, to my cell phone too, that they are rescuing them, and if they are out of fuel, sit into someone else's car. How can they be so irresponsible, to depart with little children, grandmother, without food and drink, blankets, not enough fuel? :(
-
That is really irresponsible, I agree.
Still I have to say it surprises me that only 25 cm of snow can make your country turn upside down :blink: We have that every now and then each winter in Prague and I am not talking about those meters of snow outside the cities and in the mountains - is it so unusual in Hungary? :unsure:
I am glad to hear you are ok :-) How does Jácint like snow?
-
I think it's more about the wind that creates enormous obstacles from the snow. You know Hungary is mostly plain. :)
And yes, we are also not used to this amount of snow, because they say that there wasn't so many as far as they ever remember.
There were some funny events too: we saw a tractor yesterday, making the road free in front of us, then it came back again, with 6-7 children after it, on their sledges. They turned two times and also stopped to play in the snow. :lol:
Jácint? He loves the lot of light that comes from the white snow. Last time when we went to a sledge ride, he seemed to enjoy. Now we are going out again, because the sun is shining nicely, snowfall and wind stopped. :)
-

-
Wow. Well, I am glad you are ok. I see now, it's mostly a problem with the wind.
-
Hey folks,
pretty amazing how at the very instant of the equinox all the white, cold winter snow turned into -
well, into white, cold spring snow. :ninja:
Cheers!
Markus
-
:lol3: Nicely said!
Our weather became very unfriendly in the latest two days. :unsure: Cold, rainy, and since yesterday it's also very windy. Now the rain is turning into snow, and the mass media says again not to leave homes on the Northern parts. My mother-in-law lives in the Northernmost part, so she can't come to visit us right now, as she wanted.
-
That's nasty, but it's better that she stays at home than standing on the highway for a couple of days.
Actually, there is just one word needed to describe our current weather:
:afaid: FIMBULVETR! :afaid:
Cheers, anyway!
Markus
-
It finally feels like spring. After a pair of days of snow, the sun is shining again and it's nice out.
FINALLY. :ninja:
-
Lucky you, Jorge!
Over here, the weather is becoming more and more surreal: It's sunny but bitter-cold. We have serious frost and the icy Eastern wind is tough. However, when you're standing in a wind-calm place where the sun hits you, you can feel its warmth. Too bad that there are no leaves to suck in the sunlight to make sugar from it.
Cheers!
Markus
-
Same here. It's -9°C outside :ninja:
-
It's snowing again. :) A lot of snow! We won't go out until it starts to melt, or the tractor cleans the road again.
Goes to switch the bread baking machine on
-
So we really had a white Easter this year, folks. :blink:
As I woke up on Easter Sunday, there was snow falling outdoors, and it was still falling as I walked the cuddly predator around the gravel pits.
Even now there is still snow lying in many places. In this cold air it takes direct sunlight to melt the snow, so in any shady place it still stays white.
Cheers!
Markus
-
it will be snowing tonight again..
-
We do not have a snow forecast, at least according to yr.no but still the weather is annoying. Very Danish weather... in my opinion. :)
It's interesting you know, because according to old sayings (and to what I remember), this kind of weather is not supposed to be unusual in my country. Even in the half of April there could be snow and frost. But in last years we got so much used to the fact that the winter goes away in half of March that now it is a shock for us :)
-
Indeed, Kris!
Our weathermen were telling us that so late a winter is unusual even for our old climate, before the global warming started to kick in. Paradoxically, the warming may be causing these late winters: By changing Arctic cold-air-flows it might bring late cold winters to our latitudes. :wacko:
Whatever... today we had a sunny day with milder air. Still, everybody was wearing thick winter jackets, including me - but mine was open. :wink2: But although spring is slowly sneaking in, deeper in the forest where I took Abby for one of our long walks, there was still quite a lot of snow lying.
Cheers!
Markus
-
We got first sun in many days! :) I am so glad for that. But it's not to last long.
Yes, as far as I know, the global warming should cause the Gulf Stream to disappear. And that one is supposed to be the reason why here in Central Europe we have such a mild winters (and that in Norway up high still bloom cherry trees, England usually does not know lower degrees than 0°C, etc...) and so when this one disappears - we are to get rough winters.
-
Yeah, Kris,
that's the big "New Ice Age by Global Warming" scenario. The one that would take centuries or millennia in real life and that was speeded up to a few weeks by Roland Emmerich for "The Day After Tomorrow". But as I understood it, this here is a different effect. The gulf stream is still working well and it's just different winds that bring cold air to our latitudes.
Anyway, seems like we're slowly approaching some real spring. :)
Cheers!
Markus
-
I wish we were but the forecast is "bad" for the whole April here :( It is supposed to get warmer but "grey weather". And honestly... I don't care if it's 10 or -20... I need sun. So the "warm but grey" does not suit me :bawl:
-
I understand, Kris! But remember: Every day there is sunshine only 3-4 km from you!
Keep your ears pricked and cheers!
Markus
-
This is a great saying, I will spread it! :lol3:
-
Which one - the sunshine or the pricked ears? :unsure: :biggrin:
-
Oh! :nosweat: I didn't even notice the pricked ears. What does it mean?
-
Ooops, Lucy,
seems I messed up two figures of speech. What I meant to say is "Stay strong and well, don't let anything drag you down". But that's correctly expressed as "Keep your chin up!". In German we have the saying "Halt die Ohren steif!" for the same, and that's literally "Keep your ears pricked". :wacko: :lol3:
Apparenly, this is also of interest for our Regina Mala Germanonecarica. :ninja:
Anyway, we're having a cloudy but bright day. No sunshine, but when you go out you still get a good dose of daylight.
Cheers!
Markus
-
There's a major bug on the weather program. It's snowing in the middle of April. :ninja:
-
Not unsual in Canada, imho! :ninja: :nana:
-
Sorry, mate,
I told the weather guys they could send our snow and frost to Canada - I had forgotten you're still there... :unsure:
Cheers, anyway!
Markus
-
My Deutsch teacher told us temperatures higher of 20 are expected in Germany... :ninja:
-
Yeah. Either indoors, when you put on the heating, or on a single sunny afternoon in mid-July. :nana:
Nah, I heard the same and I do want some warmer weather at last.
(Yeah, that was really me saying that!)
Cheers!
Markus
-
Indeed, we're having spring-weather! :wOOt: It's warmer, sunnier - and for the first time since months I've seen cumulus clouds, which make the sky look much more summerly than that uniform flat cover we used to have for ages.
Cheers!
Markus
-

Blue, cloudless, warm day here.
Why am I at home studying German, right now? What have to do the Perfekt with enjoying that lovely day? :ninja:
-
You could be on the beach, studying German. :wOOt:
-
In fact, very soon it would be pretty easy: I won't need any book or notebook to study, only the chance to spot some German here and there and start talking with him/her. :fish:
-
You could talk about the weather with them. We could gather a lot of specific meteorological terms so you can scare them, my evil queen. :ninja:
BTW, I'm withdrawing my praise for our local weather because thick clouds have rolled in. :tongue:
Cheers, anyway!
Markus
-
Jetz I'm in der Zug. Ich sehe a lot of Leute in the beach!
We're at 24° :nana:
Btw... The Lektion we are doing right now is about weather :biggrin:
-
Is it? :lol3:
So let me tell you some important weather vocabulary:
Das ist doch kein Wetter mehr! - It's too cold and too wet for this time of year!
Dieses Sauwetter geht mir auf den Geist! - I would prefer some warmer and sunnier weather!
Scheiß Regen! - It's raining too much for my personal taste!
Cheers!
Markus
-
Hey folks,
we're having the strangest weather. There's a bright hot thing in the sky that lights up the whole landscape and makes it warm outdoors. :blink: Dunno what that is, but it might be dangerous: I saw a guy with a burnt neck today who said he'd been exposed to the rays of that hot bright thing. :afaid:
Cheers!
Markus
-
Do not expose yourself too much to that bright thing from the sky... or you'll end up as so many English and German people in my town, who expose themselves without any brain to it, and they turn walking tomatoes :evil2:
-
I knew that thing is dangerous! :mad3:
-
Today was sunny and warm enough so I could do the long doggie walk short-sleeved at last! :yeha:
-
It was cold today.
And it snowed again yesterday. It was Hitler's birthday, I had an exam and it snowed. It was the worst Saturday morning I've had in a while.
-
:roll:
That's Hitler from his grave for you. He made the skies snow.
-
Ouch, poor Jorge! But I'm sure that eventually spring will come even to you.
-
We just had a first storm (I mean, over my place). :-) How relaxing! Pity it was just few thunders.
-
Another storm :) This time there's a warning for the half of the country cause the storms are supposed to be severe, with strong wind and hails.
-
Whew - hope there won't be or wasn't any serious damage, Kris!
All we got was a colder and rainy day with lots of clouds. The rain was welcome after a few dry weeks. Tomorrow should be drier and sunnier again. :)
Cheers!
Markus
-
No rain since weeks... they predict rain only for the upper parts of the country. We have a lot of hot sunshine! And very good ice cream in the town. :thumbup:
-
We've got an "Irish/English" weather. It's raining (with short pauses) second day already.... Makes me so sleepy. Feels like hammer to the head. :) I praise coffee.
-
Same here, Kris..
-
Have you read about the tornado in upper Italy? :)

-
So, Toronto is finally warming up. The thermostat is hitting the 20s in the Celsius scale and I'm happily chilling without having to even wear a sweater.
-
Hey folks,
no, I haven't heard of that tornado yet. Very impressive photos! I just hope that nobody got seriously injured.
Our weather is more Canadian than Czech these days, it seems. We're up for a friendly and rather warm weekend. I've left my tomato- and chilli-seedlings outdoors over night for the first time. :yeha:
Cheers!
Markus
-
So today it's sunshine and blue skies since the early morning :) But the forecast says: STORRRRMS! STORRRRMSSS! :cht:
-
I hope you had some entertaining thunderstorms without any serious damage, Kris!
Our weather is bleak: Too cold and rainy for this time of year. Yeah, this saves me some work with watering my roof-deck. but my plants would seriously enjoy some more sunshine.
Cheers, anyway!
Markus
-
Too hot. Just plain simply too hot.
-
I know. Same here. Today I installed anti-star shield into my bedroom and when going to the shop I had to take on my premium Mercury spacesuit.
-
Anti-star-shield! :lol3:
"Radiation levels rising. Put up the ASS! NOW!!" :roll:
Worst of all, I'm having late shift this week. I need to get out around noon and get to the office which has no air-conditioning. :bawl:
Cheers, anyway!
Markus
-
I understand that :( It is horrible.
The worst day is predicted here on Thursday - which is my exam :( one of the worst, which means, that in addition to the stress, I will be fighting these hots (not really good for me too) and heavy headache which is common for me in hots. :( This all could do very bad service to my exam presentation :(
-
It's hot in Poland too. At least the laundry is dry quickly. :roll: Good luck with the exam, Kris :kiss:
-
Thank you :-) I will need it!
-
Nasty weather for an exam... Eat light and rich in carbohydrates, drink plenty, and take more time than usual to get there so you needn't hurry and have some time left to cool down.
Best of luck and cheers!
Markus
-
thank you, Markus :) but I don't think i will be able to eat anything. But for the water - definitely yes, plenty of it. :)
-
Right now it's terribly warm and the sky is hazy. In the evening or tonight heavy thunderstorms are expected, and that will end the current heat wave...
-
37°C in shade. :nosweat: They promised some cooling from tomorrow on...
-
We had 30°C at night tonight :( horrible.
BTW, I got mark 3 from the exam. It is a shame but I am just happy it's done. :)
-
I see, Kris. But you've passed and that's what counts most, isn't it? So congrats! :bow:
About our weather: We did get severe thunderstorms last night and they did bring much cooler air. :nosweat: Luckily, no damage was done right here. The rain was heavy and the lightning activity intense. In a 90-minute-interval they measured 137.000 bolts of lightning over Germany and small parts of the neighbouring countries. That's quite a lot - a normal front in summer may bring 30.000...
Cheers!
Markus
-
I watched the storms in Germany on the radars :-) Very interesting, indeed!
We had only few here. In the middle of the night a thunder and 2 lightnings woke me up but that was all. Nothing really happened. So I guess it was already distant even though quite noisy.
-
Lucky you! We couldn't sleep the WHOLE night because it was too hot! The window was opened and the fan turned on... during the night the cats started to do MIAUUUUUU to eachother (it's so hearable, where we live now it's some kind of a well...
Please send me some thunderstorms to Warsaw (even if I'm going tomorrow to Puławy, mum is coming back from Germany). I need some sleep...
I need some cooler air..
-
Serves cold drinks and wet towels to all who have this crazy hot weather
Congrats, Kris! :wink2:
-
yes please!
it's 31 degrees in the shadow... jeeeeez :nosweat:
-
Poor you, Agnes! I hope you'll get some cooler air soon. :)
-
I hope the same ;) It's 33 degrees in the shadow now.. and imagine that I have to leave home to do the shopping and buy a ticket for a train for tomorrow..
-
thanks for sending some rain and thunders to Warsaw (it's somewhere above us, it's grey around) Some rain from time to time, some thunders on the right and left..
I hope it will be cooler at least for a night. So far it's still hard to breathe (and the clouds are for 5 hours here ;) ) It's 24 Celsius degrees outside (but the temperature I feel I a little bit higher.
Hugs :*
EDIT: I went outside, It's much better :)
-
Curiosly, we have a very mild summer here! A max. of 24º in a sunny day is not a lot, and I don't feel too much humidity. Tonight / Tomorrow some rains or storms can arrive, so temperature can even be lower. We've had very few days of real hot, when at those time of the year, usually, we've been already sweating for a lot of time! Maybe we've changed the climate? :ninja:
In fact, in the mountainous part, there had been some heavy problems: there's a lot more snow than usual this time and right now they had some high temperatures (snow melts), some heavy heavy rains (snow melts and rain makes rivers grow). Consequences: the rivers have been uncontrollable, some of them have overflown and a lot of people had to leave their homes for safety for some days. Bridges broken, and a lot of destruction. No human life suffered, fortunately, but rivers have been fuller than ever... in their birthplace! :unsure:
-
Yeah, seems like they confused your weather and ours.
But seriously, Luth, I'm sorry to hear about the floods! Of course it's good that nobody got killed, but the material damage is bad enough.
Best regards
Markus
-
You guys have been having floods, so I'll not complain about the humidity and boiling in my room.
...Oops, I just did. :ninja:
-
So, two weeks later it's us who have the floods... :ninja:
-
Are you ok?
-
I'm fine, I live in area at an elevation high enough that I was pretty much unaffected, but other parts of the city were pretty hectic. We also had a city-wide blackout.
So, this is what happened: Monday seemed like a nice regular day, you know, sunny and all. Then at about 4pm it all got dark out of a sudden, it rains. And it rains. And it didn't stop raining until about midnight. We had twice the amount of precipitation we'd regularly have in a whole month... So obviously, this led to rather unfortunate situations, especially downtown where the subway tunnels flooded. People's basements got flooded to pretty much waist-depth. And well, then there was the city-wide blackout. My building for example didn't get power back until about 1am. But things are fine. Now it's just a little wet out there.
-
Ooops, sorry to hear that, Jorge! I hope the damage was only material and no one got seriously injured?
That local flood even made it into our newspapers, albeit only as a small note.
Over here, we're having the finest summer weather: Lots of sun, some clouds and rainshowers in between, warm but not yet unpleasantly hot - just plain lovely. :)
Cheers!
Markus
-
Yeah, it mostly material, except for the couple of people whose sanities were questionable after spending a couple hours without electricity or Internet.
-
I see, Jorge. Well, that's good news after all.
Over here, we're still having the finest imaginable summer weather. No complaints at all! It's sunny, mildly warm, no annoying or even dangerous heat. Lovely!
Cheers!
Markus
-
I am glad you are ok. :) Sorry, I could not read this earlier.
-
So, how's the weather in everyones countries?
I know summer can be rough in Europe.
We have had some rain in EL Salvador, and today it's sunny and 27C.
I keep checking often the temperature in Alaska, today it's 23C, not bad, right?
-
Still fine over here. :) Sun and warmth but the nights are still reasonably cool. Some rain would be nice, but not on Friday, please. :lol3: However, heat and moisture are increasing, which makes the weather less and less pleasant.
Alaska sounds pleasant, though... :thumbup:
Cheers!
Markus
-
Czech Republic says: horrible weather - the wolfram is melting ¬¬
-
Yes! humidity is terrible! I hate it....in the city, San Salvador it is not that bad. There are other cities in which it sucks.
We've had some thunders, I like those because it will cool off during the night :-)
Keep cool my friends :)
-
Just been in the news: from last 14 days, there have been 13 with hail somewhere in Catalonia (usually in the farming zone, where it can be more harmful). It's absolutely atypical for a July, and the reason is the good weather stuck in Ireland instead of Italy and its Mediterranean area... Summarizing: a lot of heat (the usual one), a lot of humidity (nothing weird here) and a lot of evening with thunderstorms and hail... which is absolutelly weird and bad for the crops :afaid:
-
Hail, Luth? That's quite nasty; can do a lot of damage and often comes with severe thunderstorms which can do a lot of harm, too. I hope you'll get calmer weather soon!
We're up for two very hot days which will be followed by showers and thunderstorms tomorrow...
Cheers!
Markus
-
It looks like we are following German weather again. We have very hot temperature, and the forecast says we'll have refreshing rain on Monday afternoon. The plants are suffering...
-
I want rain.. a lot of rain.. and a lower temperature.. Imagine that it's 30°C in our bedroom :mad3:
-
I would like to host you to sleep! We have terribly hot weather (41°C predicted for today) but at night it's about 24°C in the bedroom. Thanks to the vicinity of mother Nature. :)
-
41º?? OMCD! It's like the south of Spain? Have you moved and told us nothing? :ninja:
We were supposed to have a lot of rain and storms the last night, but at least here, I've seen nothing (although I was sleeping :innocent: ). Now there's no rain... and for all today, more storms were predicted. Let's keep the rain away, because this evening we want to go to a beach bar where a musician we liked a lot plays. Rain = Music OFF... :ninja:
-
Send the rain here! I know why it was so hot in our bedroom. We sleep on the last floor in this house, and it's in the attic. Lucky us we've bought a flat on 5th floor! (and 2 more are above us!) Ps. We've got our block warmed, the windows are in our flat and we have all the walls :P Maybe next week we will be able to see our flat in reality for the first time!
-
You better ask for the rain to fall slowly, Agnes! Not in severe thunderstorms as we had it the past few nights.
Luth, enjoy a dry night and tell us all about it afterwards. :thumbup: Lucy, be careful with that heat! :unsure: And Agnes, best of luck with apartment and do keep us updated! :wOOt:
Cheers!
Markus
-
Today we've got only about 36°C in shade but in last days it was around 40°C too :( In my flat (under the roof) it's almost 30°C :( I cannot sleep well at all.
-
Same here, Kris - our bedroom is under the roof, the window is still opened (the only way to get some air inside), we turn on the fan for almost the whole night to at least fall asleep.
-
I think time went crazy! Correct me if I'm mistaken but... that's not the normal weather, is it? I mean... 40º in the shade is not so weird in the south of Spain, but the center of Europe? Really? Time might be colder than the Mediterranean! :disgust:
-
Nice weather... nice weather... perhaps too nice? Please, can anyone tell me if Autumn is really here? We've had two or three "more atumnish" but, since some days ago, we're again at 25º, and with a lot of humidity (which makes it feel like even warmer, even at night). I've seen the forecast, and we won't have lower temperatures during, at least, five more days. We'll arrive at November with almost-Summer temperature? Is the weather crazy? I wish to get rid of my Summer clothes (well... to have it hidden in the wardrobe, at least) and take my Autumm clothes to see a little of the world!! :bawl: :ninja:
-
Hey Luth,
it's very similar over here. We're up for about 20°C. This feels scary with the autumnally short days and low sun. But even scarier were the 20°C Munich experienced last December!
They say that the climate change is confusing air streams. That lead to cold and long up here winters recently even though the average world temperature was higher than ever, and these late warm days may be related to that, too. I mean, strange end extreme is nothing new at all, but the exceptions of yore are becoming the rules of today, and that is strange and frightening.
Cheers, anyway!
Markus
-
Yep, I suppose the climate change has something to do... :afaid:
In fact, that temperature is not so weird if you think how long we had to wait until real heat arrived: this year, some people even said that Summer was not coming! Of course, it did, but a lot later than usual. It seems that more than temperature changing, what it happens right now is temperatures changing its usual period of the year... :ninja:
-
Right you are, oh Regina Mea Mala! Winter in spring, spring in summer, summer in autumn...
I hope things will turn out right for us!
Cheers!
Markus

Barcelona today, maximum of 29º. Some (few) cities from Catalonia, even 31º.
Luckily, Tuesday might be the day when temperatures start to drop. I wish so... it's not normal going to walk alongside the beach, and see a lot of people there... in the sand, and in the water. :afaid:
-
Still so hot, Luthy? :unsure: We have a similar 22-25°C since days, we didn't have to start a fire. But we have the same news about Tuesday.

Hey folks,
we've had unusually warm weather, too. Last Sunday I was taking a walk with Abby in short sleeves. That weather felt surreal: The daily course of the sun and the state of the vegetation all scream "autumn" while the temperature is saying "summer". At the same time, the sunlight is falling at a low angle through the almost bare branches and between the trunks of the trees, thus making forest floors strangely bright. That felt definitely weird to me.
Yesterday we had a bad storm... now, some calmer and cooler weather is in sight.
Cheers!

Hey folks,
I just loved this morning, despite the fact that I had to get up cruelly early for my early shift. But the sky was clear, the stars twinkling, some light frost in the air and hoarfrost not only on the cars but even on the grass. Hell Nifel! :biggrin:
Cheers!
Markus
-
How is the weather now, Luthy? Is it getting colder there too? :)
-
Yes, it is!! Now in the morning is really colder (less than 10º), and during the day too. Still not freezing cold, but in fact... here, we rarely have it freezing cold :nana:.
Plus, last weekend we had huge rains and storms, after a very unusual dry Autumn (not good for our "neighbors" from the Sardinia island, who recieved the same storm transformed in a cyclon :-[ ).
-
Hey folks,
after some cool and moist days, yesterday was almost frosty and clear. :) Winter is sneaking up!
Cheers!

Indeed! that's why I've bought a new winter jacket. And today my bf started his way to work with scraping the windows in our car.. :nosweat:
-
Weather is crazy... two weeks ago, at midday, I could almost go short-sleeve. Today, morning, Barcelona, near 0º. It has been snowing (very light snow) very near my city, I suppose that in places that are not at the sea level. And the forecast says that it can (light) snow in El Tibidabo, a mountain in Barcelona (so, not so high...).
Where is Autumn? Where Spring? Where the middle terms have gone? :bawl:

Hey folks,
the media are full of reports and warnings about winter-gale "Xaver" coming up. A severe storm with gusts that makes objects fly around dangerously is expected. Besides that, the coast is preparing for a storm-tide comparable to the great tide of 1962. The weather situation is comparable, they say, but the dams are much better. Still there are warnings not to leave the house if you can avoid it.
I live in the middle of Germany, and the North is to affected most badly this time. I don't think I'll be in any serious trouble. We'll have to wait and see - cross your fingers a bit, please!
Cheers!
Markus

Hey folks,
Xaver is storming outdoors. This afternoon, before the storm, I saw a large field of Mammatus-clouds, which is unusual... normally these clouds appear near heavy thunderstorms. I took that as a foresign of the approaching storm.
Cheers!
Markus
-
Take good care, High Priest - or rule the winds! :pop: Do you need to leave your home before the storm proceeds?
-
Yes, take care!
I think the most stormy will be in the north, won't it? :afaid:
-
Thank you, miladies!
Apparently, the worst storm is over for my part of Germany. Not much damage here, as far as I could see. The North, especially the coast, has been struck much worse. Now I must see how bad the snow will get.
I was out on my way to work before the storm arrived and returned now, after the gale had subsided a bit. The warnings go on until tomorrow noon, by which time I will be in the office again. :)
Cheers!
Markus

I got home before the storm here started - I know we had a thunderstorm at night. Veeeeeeery strooong wind started about 12 hrs ago and is still with us.
Also we had a power failure during the night and in the morning, now the power is back.
The clouds walk through the sky very quickly!
-
After very warm December and the first part of January, the frost eventually came to us... Now it's getting warmer, but about -16 deg. C still... However, it feels nice and there's a lot of snow :hop:
-
Canadian winter is in full scale. I don't want to leave to the outdoors. :ninja:
-
I can guess it's been just as cold as in the Northen States, isn't it? ((
-
We've got real winter in Poland too. Now the temp. is ~ - 10 deg. C. But last weekend it was about -18 deg. C. :afaid: brrrr!
-
We had -18 by tonight. We have wonderful Nifelish pictures shared on Facebook! :)
-
Yeah, it's hitting about -20 this week. Going to class and work becomes less and less appealing with every passing minute.
-
The day after tomorrow will be the coldest this week. Down to -20, too... I begin to feel sorry I don't have winter boots :-(...
-
Luckily, I've got winter boots. Wanna try them on? :wink2: I've heard the last forecast for Poland - it will be - 35 deg. C. in February.. :afaid:

I hope it won't last for long!
This is all the global warming )

Global warming, my ass. From what I hear, this is the coldest winter Toronto has had in the last decade.

As well as Moscow.... well, no, not exactly this.... This December was the warmest, but August, September and January are extraordinary, and the last is the coldest with some more new absolute records.
And in Tutonchany today it's -78 deg C which is the absolute record for all inhabited places in Russia.
-
Mmmhh... for the past few weeks we had some nice little winter here, too. Not as deep as ou folks mentioned, just some light frost and a little bit snow. Luth, I wish we would have had that in Frankfurt! Very pleasant, but unfortunately we're above zero again, at least in the day time. :(
Cheers!
Markus
-
Aaaaand we're about ankle deep in snow. Going to class today will be a struggle. :ninja:
-
Hey folks,
we're heaving mild and sunny spring weather, even too warm for this season. It feels nice, but we're in need of some rain for fields, forest and gardens.
The good news is that some rain is in sight. :) The bad news is that it's supposed to come in the weekend. :mad:
The worst news is that most of the rain is coming to the West of the country. :mad3:
Let's hope that the rain comes a bit earlier or later than expected now!
Cheers!
Markus

According to the weather channels I look at on the Internet, on Saturday it may rain, but only light rain, and specially at night... I've looked by the city of Frankfurt... :ninja: :afaid:
-
And Toronto weather is still cold and snowy.
We had a nice day with temperatures of about 10 degrees Celsius yesterday. A false spring. Today we're being hit by a blizzard.
-
Ouch, Jorge! That sounds a lot nastier than the moist weekend in Frankfurt.
-
I'd love to send a bit of Moscow weather to everyone. It's warm (about 12 deg.C), dry and quiet here...
-
The world upside down... in Moskow at 12º... only a few less than here? Germany with a long lasting sun (who has decided to hide a little precisely THAT WEEKEND!)?
World is crazy... :wacko:
-
Now it's cold and wet again :cht:
-
Not over here, Lady Sa'iltu. We're having rather dry and sunny weather - almost too dry, actually. I hope for some serious rain to come soon. Apart from that, the weather is quite enjoyable. Caught quite a bit of sunshine at the cottage today. :)
Cheers!
Markus

Here, a very spring weather for the weekend! But Thursday we had a rain that had more of mud than of rain. In Barcelona, it "rained" 1g of Sahara dust every quadrat meter. Today I've cleaned the balcony... I think half Sahara has been cleaned in my home! :ninja:
-
Perhaps, Luth. And the rest ended up in Germany, for instance on my parents' car. :lol3:
-
Hey folks,
at last we've had some substantial rain today. The days before had been quite stormy... but now we're up for some sunny spring weather again. :)
Cheers!

Your storms have come to us now setting free hot sunny days ))).
Actually, I'm happy the weather is stormy now, at least, it's hot no more )))
-
I feel like talking, so let's talk about the weather, just like in good English manner. :lol:
I'm sending you my warmest hugs, from my country with hot temperature (finally). Lately the weather couldn't decide between rainy, windy, or mild, and it was very exhausting to bear. But since yesterday, early summer is here! I'm enjoying garden works and the bees are feeling great too. :) Beautiful flowers and scent are everywhere. All I see is green. :)
-
[On the elevator mode on]Oh, that's nice! Here we are having some sunny and warm days, too, together with some cloudy and rainy! In fact, after long time with too dry weather, we're finally getting some water. Curiously, although living beside the sea, we're having more mountain-like weather: sunny in the morning, clouds arriving in the afternoon, heavy and short rains in the evening. Isn't that nice? :wacko:[/on the elevator mode off]
-
We've got rain past last 24 hours. Feels like autumn :)
-
here it's raining almost every day for the last week..
