Thankfully the bushfire threat this year for us has just about passed, with some good rain to tide us over as summer departs. <br />Best wishes <br />Lindsay Byrneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11030132436987752741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8764563741359701027.post-66616210899285630242015-03-09T18:15:31.364-07:002015-03-09T18:15:31.364-07:00Aam ne'er gonnae gie it reit but it was worth ...Aam ne'er gonnae gie it reit but it was worth tryin'. :)susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16747450215034568033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8764563741359701027.post-53404757590024524012015-03-09T09:56:33.464-07:002015-03-09T09:56:33.464-07:00Ach, that'd be ma cubairt an' its ee.

We had no snow at all until the end of January and then too much in a matter of weeks. People who've lived here many more years than us have said that although there's been this much and more snow in other winters that they've never seen conditions this bad.<br /><br />I think a big part of the reason more simple minded folk have trouble with the concept of global warming is that they don't understand the term actually means climate chaos.susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16747450215034568033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8764563741359701027.post-27401025195246730882015-03-06T19:09:54.191-08:002015-03-06T19:09:54.191-08:00An interesting winter.

Every other year since I've had this house the snow in the front yard exceeds the 3+ foot fence, and because it's a north facing yard, the snow is there until early or mid May. It's a mere patch now, and will probably be gone in a few days. I have no reference for a winter like this....yes we've had sub zero temps occasionally, but we had 55f days in February. <br />I'll bet that even with the long cold winter in Boston and environs, the year 2015 will go on to be another globally warm year. While the east, south and mid west had a bad winter, the rest of the country had record high temps. <br />Cheers,<br />MikeShould Fish Morehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18400586203204886095noreply@blogger.com
