Thanks Bob…very nice! Been enjoying all evening.

RR

Nice to hear. More to come. :slight_smile: Enjoy the holidays.

Thanks Bob,
The music is great, will bookmark the page and play it again.

The scenery here at the moment isn’t very Christmassy, a bit miserable, low thick rain clouds over the last few days, I got soaked a few times on my daily walks

Here it’s been cold and there’s some snow on the mountain.
I hope the snow stays on the mountain. :slight_smile:

Had lots of snow last Winter, very Holiday Season, about 10 inches at one point (here the local government/s are terrible) a little snow and everything grinds to a halt.

I went out on one of my morning walks and I could hardly see more than 50 yards (very heavy driven snow), at one point on the planned route I completely missed my turning. It took a while to realise it and go back and pay more attention to where I was going :wink:

And right now? Here it’s raining cats and dogs.

Merry Christmas to all.

Beautiful Sky, not seeing much of that, conditions here are pretty miserable, low clouds, high wind and rain. Not very seasonal.

Our White Christmas arrive a day late.

Our snow has arrived in liquid form, temperatures a bit warm for snow. Yesterday and most of today has been above 70c. Overcast and miserable.

Better to have some weather than to have none, a.k.a desert weather. Snow forecast here 7-12 inches, generally sloppy conditions to come soon. At least Bob’s weather changes daily and gives him a reason to get up at dawn everyday. :slight_smile:

That sounded a bit like last year, a very heavy dump of snow and I woke up to around 6" of snow. It didn’t stop my morning walk though, just dressed for the conditions.

I have something to get up for every day at dawn, usually to go to the loo :slight_smile:
Too much information I know.

It’s looking a lot more like winter today and, we’re expecting more tonight.

@ Bob
Some would like a ‘bit’ of snow (not a blizzard)for the beauty of the scenery (when looking out of the window in a warm house) and the kids generally love it.

Are your local services effected in these conditions (roads, power, telecommunications, etc.), our local services are terrible. They just don’t think it is worth the cost of the infrastructure for the amount of snow we get through the winter. Consequently when it does snow heavily everything grinds to a halt, roads, airports and on occasion power goes out (effecting internet connections).

A couple of months ago had the power off for most of the daytime to do preventative maintenance to power sub-stations, cutting back trees, etc. followed about a week later with a power outage.
