I'm envious. We're having uncomfortable heat here in NZ (the hottest in recorded history I think). I had a bad hot day at work (which I am now recovering from with copious amounts of light beer - three cheers for beer!
) Auckland has pretty awesome winter weather, never going over 15°C (and seldom going down to frost levels - in fact, never in my part). Bring back winter!

..been cooling off here, as well.Temps made it to 19F Wed-not a cloud in the sky - beautiful! Yesterday only got to 17F by 2:30(not incl. windchill) so last night was "cold" (Brass monkeys & all that) Looks like we're gonna get snow this weekend.Already readied the snow-blower.Get it ready every year, but haven't used it in almost 3 years.

We've had a bit of a break the last few days, temps just above freezing to the old snow is melting pretty well. But now we have a winter storm warning from 5:00 am to morrow through the weekend. Supposedly blowing snow & freezing rain/sleet.

For very light snow Hoadie you can use a leaf blower to move it.

Well you wont have a problem keeping your BEER cold !!!!! I remember doing that when I lived in Germany !!! Many times I had to stand before the CSM and get my but chewed for sitting my Beer out on the ledge of our barracks window in the snow that had accumulated there !!! I would try that down here , but the cans get all muddy !!!! |

You know guys reading all of your posts about snow really makes me chuckle and think "What the heck is wrong with us guys back here in the UK?" If we get 2 inches of snow we think we are having a terrible winter and are reverting back to the ice age, and if it gets to 4 inches deep then all he!! and sheer panick breaks loose and the whole country seems to grind to a halt!
Me, I like a couple of inches of virgin snow - It gives me the perfect opportunity to see exactly what is moving about on the land where I shoot - Fur, Feather or Human!

ARGH! Snowed all night..Still snowing!(This is like MD weather!
)Most things were cancelled last nite (ie: Legion bar)Your right Rhino-God is keeping my beer warm..only problem is, the back deck is drifted in..every time I want a beer, its "hide & seek"!! Using a snowshovel to find yer beer aint fun! Snowmobiles runnin up & down the streets last nite..makes me wanna string wire across the road, bout chest high! (Buncha rotters!) & they'll be the first to complain when I go outside @0630 with the snowblower..makin too much noise while they sleep, U see..Hoadie |
