As long as you have an airplane to get you supplies you should be fine Ten.

Well I guess I'd like it if it was less than a centimetre thick the year round

I like fresh snow...it is sooo pretty and makes for awesome photos when it wets the dark oak trees against its powdery briliance.

but I dont like getting stuck in it on a road that hasnt been properly plowed...and I dont like it when it turns to ugly smud.

I dont mind shoveling though.

It is also real pretty on fir trees.

The problem with so little snow would be the ice would be so thin that you couldn't play hockey on it.

Well, it's definately not snow weather today, my weather station topped out at 26 (79), and is 24 right now. This sunny and warm weather makes my room very hot, even with the window open and fan on full blast...

It's been pretty fresh today. Which is a good thing.

The wind just picked up considerably. 80 degrees out with 35% humidity. Ten you can tell me why humidity seems to be higher where the temperature is a lot cooler than 80 degrees.

ooh, I'm not that much of an expert!
But you do notice that in low humidity regions such as deserts the highest temperatures in the world are reached, and in high humidity areas like the rainforests around the equator, the temperature is much lower, but the humidity makes it feel much more hotter than it is.

13 (55) here, just after midnight - 73% humidity and wind is non-existant.

Warm today, not too hot for heat-sensitive me
24 (75) at the moment and sunny

It's cloudy with rain showers.

I took this while driving in the (California) desert on Friday. 113F = 45C, felt hotter though...

That's another place crossed off my list for a future relocation!

I've been to California, and Nevada. They are hot. But the UK isn't built for heat. We don't have air conditioned houses. Lots of cars don't have air conditioning either. So when it gets up to 30 degrees and above we can't cope. I remember it being particularly hot in 2003, when thousands of people in France died from heat related conditions. We're just not set up for it.

Anyway today is pleasant.

The highest temperature today has been 24.8
It is currently 23.3
Very sunny

And my neighbour is banging and crashing around in his garden like he is every Sunday.
And I am indoors hiding from the noise like I do every Sunday.

I don't know what it is about this country, but when it gets above 26 I can't handle it, yet in other countries where it is usually hotter, I can tolerate 40 just fine!
