The weather,


It must be more then 10, 15 years ago, when it also was very, very cold in Europe, with a lot of snow.
In Schotland, in the rural area, the people could not get out of their houses, due to all the snow that has been fallen.

There was this one man, who made it into the newspapers all over Europe.
He had eaten all his provisions and still the snow was coming down!

So, he decided that he needed to go see how his neighbors are doing.
He put on as much clothes as human possible and left his house, together with his dog...

He took with him a big bottle of whisky and a shovel and digged himself a path to his neighbors
By the time he arrived by his neighbors he was totally drunk, but he survived!

I love that story~

There is not much snow, in Holland, but the wind makes it feel like minus 25 degree Celsius.
The actual temp is minus 10, that is bad enough!

Next week it will all be over, i hope.. and we have some more normal temparatures
like 10 degree...

It is sooo cold.... i am feeding the birds every day, with crumbs, rice and seeds too...
The black birds, crow, robin, magpie, sparrow and doves, jay, they all know to find this dinner dish!

We need to the cold so we can enjoy the spring when it arrives! We are finally getting snow here in Flagstaff and it finally feels right here.

Happy choco-milk!

I agree with sub! Those temperatures are just terrible! I hope some warmth returns soon!

Meanwhile, please stay safe

The weather is bonkers here - snow up to 12 cms and more expected overnight.

The first red weather warning ever in Scotland signifying the likelihood of loss of life being out there in the blizzard.

I had to go out to work early this morning only to find that my workplace was shut. Luckily I can walk to work but I slipped in the snow and slid a ways downhill on my side. I was bruised and a bit shaken but yes, respectful of nature and since I returned home have decided to stay inside where it is warm and pretty.

Hot tea, hot cocoa or hot something with brandy like the guy in the story.

SilviaSoulier,

i am glad you did not break any bones!
It is better to stay in, and wait this weather out, if possible.

In Holland there is the spring holliday now, so all schools are closed! i am very thankful for that!

artsymensch,

I know, that is what they say here too!
but they are not correct, this wind is sooo cold, there is no clothing for or against such cold, really, believe me.
The cold gets right into your blood, body and bones. Brrrr

Oh, ice fishing?! i saw that once on the telie, very impressive, but... well, WHY? LOL.

Due to the climate change, some birds stay, dont migrate anymore, even in weather like this. I hope they survive this cold.

I’m quite enjoying the cold as I know it won’t last long now. Although I hope all the daffodils haven’t been killed by the chill and snow x

tinkerfun,
Thanks for visiting my blog,

I think the daffodils will survive, they go in a sleep mode, so when the weather changes again, they start growing, again, if and when the cold is not too much, too deep...
fingers crossed!
