Time for Thorns

An independent view on life.

Weather weirdness…

It was only a decade ago that  someone was warning us British children wouldn’t know what snow looked like.   The Daily Mail has some neat  aerial shots of London under a snow load,  and the BBC has others,  here.   The Eurostar  system is all  but shut down due to weather.

California is  facing rain with wind in  some places,  and snow with gale-force winds in the mountains,   after having already had a  very strange  weather year.    Hawaii  isn’t faring any better.   Gee,  isn’t that where His Oneness and Our Lady of Perpetual Dissatisfaction re taking their holiday?

Australia’s summer is being  interrupted by snow.

Me,  I’m sitting in a chair,  Big Girl curled up to make a warm footrest,  wrapping Christmas presents,  which she has already inspected thoroughly.   I’m waiting up for the lunar eclipse in hopes that the current cloud cover will diminish.

The clouds stuck in,  so all I could see was the absence of light where the moon was.   Bummer!  I hope it was clear where you were.

UPDATE:  I forgot to tell you  it’s warm in Greenland!
