Winter 09

Very Icy..
3 cars ended up in the ditch just back round the corner yesterday ..

Where in Norfolk is this MB ? we have had it bad here ... some villages are getting ready to spend their 3rd night without electric !

Amy This is just outside Diss in a village called Burston, Fortunately we are ok for electric although we quite oftern get power cuts

I hope the occupants of the cars were o.k , the trees do look pretty , I think it's nice to look like that at Christmas time ..
I've been to Diss often enough but I don't think I've ever been to Burston .......

Another great picture.

Thank you DD it just looked so wonderful as snow seams to transform everything ....
Amy .. All were ok its not tom Jones (unusual ) to see cars in ditches round in winter many little roads don't get gritted ..Next time you come to Diss let me know and we'll have a coffee..

Mushybanna:

It sure look like a winter wonderland. : > )

It feels very wintery round here at the moment

Mushybanna:

I'm sure it feels very Christmasy! : > )

I truly don't know this feeling...I've never lived where it snowed.

You will have to treat yourself to a weeks holiday at Christmas just once to get that feeling ..It is like walking into a new magical world ...
Put it on your list of things to do before your 100...:o))

Mushybanna:

Yes, one day I will have go to the mountains and spend Christmas in the snow...definitely before I get any older...because the cold affects me quite
a bit. My Hawaiian blood just doesn't seem to adjust well at all.

2 on my list are to go to Hawaii and have x~mas somewhere nice and warm
just to see what its like ....

Mushybanna:

It doesn't feel much like Christmas...however, it's nice to hang out at the beach, sunbathe and swim. Christmas 3 years ago...the temp here was 85 degrees F. / 29 degrees C. and many people went to the beach...it was just like a normal summer's day.

Sounds good to me.. We rarely get 29 in the height of summer ....:o}}}}

Mushybanna:

I hate to tell how hot it got here in mid Feb. 2002. 98 degrees F./ 37 degrees C...I will never forget that. However, it's not too unusual to get up to 90 degrees F. / 32 degrees C. here in winter though...especially when we have a strong Santa Ana wind.

Ohhh for a Santa Ana here now :-/

Louise1:

The Santa Ana's are not the best winds to experience...as they are very hot and extremely dry.

Just a little bit of that would be fine for while ;-)
(I prefer hot and dry to hot and humid. The worst humidity has to be in the Sri Lanka and Bali area ....... it's hard going).

Louise1:

Yes, it is much easier to take the hot dry conditions than the very hot humid weather...which just drains me completely. Our summer weather can be quite warm to very hot and humid depending on what part of San Diego County one lives. Where I live, inland San Diego the weather is usually 10 - 20 degrees warmer (in summer) than downtown San Diego...where the official temp. is recorded for the city.
