Summer!

[deird1]

First day of summer - and it's still rainy. *shrugs*

Can't really complain, given the drought. As long as it's nice and hot for Christmas...

Huh. You have logical starts to your seasons? None of this messing around with 21st December as the official start of winter (and also as midwinter's day... yeah, that works)? Well done Oz, you have escaped one of Brtain's more annoying customs.

As long as it's nice and hot for Christmas... Okay, now you're torturing us. Big sloppy wet snow has been falling *all day*, in November, technically with three weeks of autumn to go round here!

!!!

Ahem. Sorry. It's been a long, cold week so far, and it's only Tuesday.

Snow!!!! *misses*

Yeah, our seasons are terribly logical: all starting on the 1st of the month. I never realised that the rest of the world was different until I saw Groundhog Day.

Again, WRONG.

(We're getting 20 below later this week. I might have to burn my Buffy comics for fuel.)

SO VERY RIGHT.


(Christmas should include backyard cricket, salad, and very very thin Santa costumes so that dressing up as Santa doesn't involve heatstroke.)

We have snow in my part of the world. Lots and lots of snow. Piles and piles and piles of snow. Snow everywhere you look. Snow as far as the eye can see.

While I have been to the snow this year, I haven't seen snow on houses since 1999. It was so fun. And so pretty.

We are coming into the cold season here. The only good thing is my garden needs the cold weather, otherwise I say the hell with it.

Wanna swap? I'm not looking forward to the really hot days at all.

Would you want to trade places? You suffer the 40 degree Farenheit temperatures over here while I bask in your much warmer climate?

... hmmm, don't suggest changing places until you've tried 'basking' in 2 weeks of 40+ degrees CELCIUS (that's over 104 Fahrenheit, I think - Mez?).

(not looking forward to another pregnant summer like that one)

That was Virginia for a couple of weeks in July.

The whole world can have a white Christmas if I can have 80 degrees Faharenheit for the rest of the year. Or at least here in Virginia. Is that too much to ask of Mother Nature?

Yup - so stinking hot day and night you don't get any respite. In my house it was over 40 celcius for 2 nights straight. Daytime we hit 45 inside. My candles melted. And that was with our "air conditioner" (yes, we have one, it's just crap) running at full power all the time, curtains shut, etc. No escape from the heat. Awful. At least if it's cold I could wear a coat, run a fire etc. Hate Summer :(
