Looks like the beast from the east has fizzled out, just be rain.

Hi,

Yes Logan; looks like Blackie and Gale are back on duty from tomorrow; heavy rain and breezy so what's new? Don't we here in the UK make a lot of noise about a bit of snow; "The beast from the east" 2" of snow here shuts the country down so we never stood a chance when a mighty 6" fell? Two continuous days of hot sunshine will force a water shortage assuming we enjoy such a long summer?

I was going to wash the Yeti this afternoon but I reckon leaving a bar of soap on it's roof will do the job.

More snow and blizzards forecast; above is a picture we often see from our front windows.

Kind regards, Colin.

That's because we don't have it regularly like the USA and Russia.

Logan, we had about 1" of snow several years ago (on Easter yet!) and most of Texas came to a screeching halt. We had brought our snow shovel with us from New York, mostly as a reminder of why we are in Texas. My husband actually took the shovel to a neighbor and offered to loan it for "clearing their sidewalk." The guy didn't know what the shovel was!
Note: as I write this I'm wearing shorts and cooling down from watering the gardens.

What a shame to have the snow shovel being unused; you're most welcome to my snow free of charge for life Marlingardener.

Kind regards, Colin.

Colin, despite your kind and generous offer of free snow, I'll pass on that. Our snow shovel is now used to make paths around the gardens. It's now a "dirt mover"!

What a nice change from NY to Texas and also GREAT for gardening!

Hi,

Thanks alp; we look directly across the valley to the tower; beyond the tower The Pennines which cause us so much weather misery. Blackie arrived at 3:18 this morning making his presence known on the roof and our bedroom window; I was wide awake designing a gouge grinding jig in my head; Gale is arriving on the next train? Friends from Hull 80 miles away are visiting us at 10:30 so not the best welcome with a soaking wet welcome mat? Blackie is my constant black cloud but why take his troubles out on our friends.

Kind regards, Colin.

It's raining again.

If I were you, I would move! Too depressing!

Hi,

Thanks alp.

Into each life a little rain must fall; mines just a waterfall and now at 70 I think I'm getting used to working in heavy clothing?

I think if I was a stick of rock and was broken in half it would say "Yorkshireman".

Kind regards, Colin.

Lovely way of putting it! Wonderful resignation and spirit!
