another good remedy in winter is to go to the botanical gardens - i love the palm rooms and the pond with giant water lilies:

that sounds sweet.
btw since this isn't exactly weather-related (but it's my fault for derailing :oops:), i thought about making a thread for this sort of things

I think Mother Nature is playing some sort of April Fools joke on Seattle.  It's snowing!  :twisted:

Quote from: lostflower4 on January 16, 2009, 08:21:45When I went outside yesterday morning it was -24° F (-31° C).  :smth009

Hopefully this record will stand for the rest of the year!

It did... And now we've got 90° F (32° C).  Can you say weather extremes?  :shock:

A "bit" warmer than I'd prefer, but I'd take this over freezing weather ANY day!

Record breaking temperature today in Seattle.  102°F (39°C)  :shock:  I read this is only the third time the city has had 5 consecutive days in the 90s or above.  We had the worst winter I can remember this year and now this extreme heat.   :smth011

now at Helsinki-Vantaa airport is presently at a near record. A depth of 42 centimetres of snow was measured at the airport Thursday, more than since 1966.
In general, southern parts of the country now have as much snow as does Lapland, ranging between 25 and 50 centimetres of snowcover.
Since 1971, wintertime snowcover in the Helsinki and Turku areas has averaged around 10 centimetres. The last winter during which the south of the country received heavy snowfall was in 2003.
The deepest snowcover in southern areas was seen in 1966, when 52 centimetres was registered in Helsinki. At present, the official depth of snow in the capital is 27cm.

Pretty crazy there.  That picture of the bicycle reminds me of one I took of my car last year about this time.  Thankfully we're not experiencing the same winter weather we had 12 months ago!  Some pleasant days lately (highs in the upper 40s/low 50s F) and looks to stay the same according to the 10-day forecast.

Wow.  I can't even imagine what it's like to live in such conditions.

how odd to think of that...  :P
it's been snowing here again all day today, the traffic is starting to get messed up, lots of busses and trams are either cancelled or running late. 

it's been really cold recently in the whole of scandinavia. i just read today that it's been something like -40 C (-40C) in norway and close to that in some parts of sweden too.

which reminded me, i went to my local beach (on the seaside) yesterday. great for surfing?  :P

some people really go swimming there, there's a pump circulating the water right beside the stairs so that the hole in the ice won't freeze up.
everywhere else the sea ice is so thick that you can walk around on the ice wherever you please.




ps. something funny with the attachments... can't attach a pic to a post.
