Re: The weather
SNOW! Wasn't forecast as of yesterday either! Battling out in my 4x4 into the chaos I kow will await as we just do not cope with the white stuff here. I was going to travel a distance to pick up my daughter from college as she is right poorly (tonsillitis) but there is no way I can now. Those of you in countries/areas that cope with snow think yourselves lucky. I am now off onto the roads with people who don't know how to drive in snow, those with rear-wheel drive vehicles and no winter tyres/snow chains. Oh, it will be such fun! Hopefully I will be back on here later.

Mycroft’s popularity doesn’t surprise me at all. He is, after all, incredibly beautiful, clever and well-dressed. And beautiful. Did I mention that?

Re: The weather
Bali hi calls me! I wish! All set to freeze to nice slippery conditions overnight here. Maybe 2 cms of snow and one local school has closed by 11a.m. as not all staff could get in. Pathetic really!

Re: The weather
Yesterday was above 70 here (okay, 22 or so for you Celsius people). Quite nice. But we had a really warm winter last year, with no snow at all, so we really need a good hard freeze this year to kill of some of the bugs and such.

Re: The weather
35 Celsius on Monday, 29 today and apparently it'll snap tomorrow with a storm which should help clear the air up.
I've had hot Christmas' before but this is the first one in the Southern Hemisphere - turkey is off for sure!

It'd be both a think. I might try to do a nice salad dressing with sage and thyme in it. Adapting Christmas flavours to a salad of sorts might be a nice distraction. I'm up for ideas!

Re: The weather
I might be getting snow this weekend if my forecast guy is anywhere accurate (like he is...never). A couple feet would be nice, but not very likely.

Re: The weather
(Oh I love cranberries)
Today it snowed! 
Everything looks so peaceful and other than Sherlock I don't find it hateful...
Still, I don't like the snow on the streets and the cold temperatures since I have to ride to school by bike every morning...
I love the way the snowflakes gently float down on all the rooftops and the little birds on the bird house, picking seeds and hiding from the wind.

Re: The weather
I like the snow. I think in the history-lesson everyone was just looking out of the window because of this amazing snowflakes (@Lelli)... I like the winter, when the snow finally came. When it is just cold and dark it's not really my favorite thing, but with snow, I really like winter. Walking throw the snow, and, what's also really nice, is riding in it... I really enjoy this weather when I'm going to the stable, and I hope that the snow will keep on until this weekend when I'll go riding. "My" pony also enjoys it a lot, she's so cuddly when there are snowflakes all over there, sometimes she try to catch them with her tongue, so sweet!
I hope it won't rain tomorrow. I hate it when it's rainy in winter, then all is so... muddy... Sort of depressing!
But what I really don't like are this fu**ing stairs near of our house... There are dangerous ice-layer all over the steps these days and I felt down them today - now I can't sit down on a normal way on this chair...

Re: The weather
Snowing here today as well. But just a little bit. It started freezing, not much though. I love winter time, I love snow and winter sports, but last years the winter was not a real winter, we had more mud than snow...

Re: The weather
Heated steps are the way to go! Hope you are ok from your fall on them. I did it once and concussed myself. 
Today was icy here.

Re: The weather
Better-yes. After have checked the benedict-thread and this one from martin, of course... And not to be forgotten, Andrews new-one!
Well, I sometimes said that winter don't start until I fall down this stairs ( I think there's not one single year I didn't fall ).
Outch! Sounds really hard and painfull! 
No, it wasn't as bad, fortunately -lucky me! ^^

Re: The weather
Oh. All our snow has gone. Washed away by a torrential downpour that lasted all night. Now everywhere is flooded again.

Re: The weather
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!
Started about an hour ago and it's really much. Suppose the traffic's going to collapse once again. And I'm sitting here nice and cosy, looking into the wintry garden …

Re: The weather
Brilliant idea. Now I just need a nice coat and a blue scarf and black wool for the curls.

Well, welcome to Xmas Southern Hemisphere style.
Now, you can do as some do & try to hold onto the archaic belief that its not festive without hot roasted meats; or you can do as we do, cold meats & salads with the added exotic feature of mountains of seafood piled high on the tables.
You see we are blessed in the half of the world:
- Xmas is a time for excessive eating
- Seafood hardly 'packs on the pounds' even when eaten in excess
It's a win/win situation from what I see.
Oh, for the record, we had some rather hot days this week; peaked at 39 near here; 40+ out west from here. Weekend looking to be cooler & a few showers & storms. Typical Queensland Xmas weather.
