poppy Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 (edited) Sludge is the word Frankie...that said, when my Finnish gets to the level of your English...I will be very happy. Just goes to show, we can't even decide on the same words within the UK, let alone in the English language as a whole, so the quality of your English is brilliant, frankie! It always amazes me, Frankie, that you and Gaia are not native speakers of English; your English skills are really that good! ^^^^^^^^^^^^Absolutely!!^^^^^^^^^^^^ I am in complete awe, to tell the truth. You guys rock .....you speak better English than a whole lot of native born English speakers! Weather here for New Years Eve ....raining and a pleasant 19C instead of a very hot and muggy 26C + yesterday. Might put the dampers on a few revellers though. Edited December 31, 2014 by poppy Quote
frankie Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 Awww thanks you guys, you are so nice Okay, so we're back to the more normal southern temperatures. +2 degrees. Slush time Quote
Athena Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 It always amazes me, Frankie, that you and Gaia are not native speakers of English; your English skills are really that good! Thank you . Here the snow is melting, it's just above freezing temperature I believe. It's nice it's becoming a bit warmer again, though we'll have to watch for slipperyness. I'm glad though it's thawing a bit. Snow kept falling off the roofs of the houses and there was a huge patch above the door so whenever I wanted to go into the farm from the bakery (through the 'serre' / conservatory) I was afraid it would fall right on top of me (it almost did, twice).

itsmeagain Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 Actually you are probably right about slush Frankie. Chesil is correct with her definition I feel. Quote
itsmeagain Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 (edited) Sorry Frankie, I've checked and you are spot on!! Slush it is actually. Edited December 31, 2014 by itsmeagain Quote
Nollaig Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 It's much too warm. 10 degrees on New Year's Eve? Get away with ya, I at *least* want some frost. Quote
frankie Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 Actually you are probably right about slush Frankie. Chesil is correct with her definition I feel. Sorry Frankie, I've checked and you are spot on!! Slush it is actually. No worries! There are regional differences to any language! Quote
pontalba Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 Just received a notification from the Weather service that we are under a tornado watch and heavy thunderstorms are headed this way. A watch isn't as bad as a warning though! Quote
julie Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 Batten down the hatches, Kate ! Stay safe . We had freezing rain and sleet here this morning ,but just rain now . Quote
frankie Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 The snow had all almost melted yesterday, but now it's snowing again And there's snow on the ground. Quote
Athena Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 It's been above freezing temperature lately and almost all of the snow has melted here. It's been sunny though cold, and often rainy. But at the moment it's dry, so this is pretty good I would say . Quote
itsmeagain Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 Black ice on roads;sunny day today, really cold. Quote
Virginia Posted January 4, 2015 Author Posted January 4, 2015 Most of South Carolina is under a tornado watch. Temps are in the mid 70's and its overcast. Glad I don't have to be out in it. Quote
Talisman Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 It's been foggy for most of the day here, with temperatures hovering around maybe 5 degrees or so. Quote
pontalba Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 Batten down the hatches, Kate ! Stay safe . We had freezing rain and sleet here this morning ,but just rain now . Ouch, that's about the worst kind of cold! Black ice on roads;sunny day today, really cold. Double ouch! Black ice....the most dangerous I think! Hope you don't have to drive much! We are in for a stretch of cold, and getting colder weather here. Right on the dot of freezing tonight, then up a few degrees, then finally down to 17F/--8C. by Thursday night. Quote
Nollaig Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 (edited) By day here it is still 9-11 degrees celsius and at night it doesn't drop below 0 (being as high as 6 or 7 degrees some nights). I'm bordering on done with this country - we had a relentlessly hot summer of mid- to high- twenties, which is hot for Ireland and lasted til OCTOBER, and now we're not even getting proper cold in January. There's actually snow everywhere else like, in the UK and Europe, even if it's not much. And nope Ireland's just here being all tropical. So annoying. (I hate heat, and love the cold.)

itsmeagain Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 Cold, windy. I can keep off driving in case of black ice, pontalba. Quote
chesilbeach Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 Cool but not too cold, dry and a bit windy. At least that's what it was like in the total of 5 minutes I've spent outside going to and from the car to work! Quote
Anna Begins Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 Windy and freezing! Although, I just learned not to say freezing to people who live where it actually freezes, as they believe you are actually in the freezing temperatures. It's about 45F/ 7C. But the wind- Brrrrr. Quote
Peacefield Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 (edited) COLD. I believe the meteorologists are calling what we are in an 'arctic blast.' -12 f to be exact. Brrr! Edited January 6, 2015 by Peacefield Quote
dtrpath27 Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 COLD. I believe the meteorologists are calling what we are in an 'arctic blast.' -12 f to be exact. Brrr! That is definitely cold! Down here, when the meteorologists call it an Arctic blast, it usually means it's in the 40s. Quote
Anna Begins Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 (edited) COLD. I believe the meteorologists are calling what we are in an 'arctic blast.' -12 f to be exact. Brrr! Are you in the South East? I hear its to be down to actual freezing there. Edited January 6, 2015 by Anna Begins Quote
pontalba Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 We're just catching the Southern end of the Arctjc blast.....coming in tomorrow morning. The lows here will be starting tomorrow night 18F/--7C, 24F/--4C, 29F/--1C. It'll even freeze in New Orleans tomorrow night! Quote
Anna Begins Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 It'll even freeze in New Orleans tomorrow night! WOW! Quote
