Well, you're living in the only country in the world where venomous snakes outnumber the non-venomous ones. Here in the States, we only have four venomous species and only around 12-20 deaths yearly from snake bite, and most of those are professional herpetologists or religious believers who attend snake handling worship services. Your beasties are far more interesting than ours.

Fortunately, ours are in hibernation now, as it's chilly here in Midlothian, Virginia: 31° F (which is just a fraction of a degree below zero, Celsius).

Several cold fronts are passing through, one after another. The main effect on me has been mostly confined to my knees!

[red_phoenix]

Overnight low tonight of -22C/-8F feels like -34C/-29F

Tomorrow won't be much better at -20C/-4F feels like -31C/-24F for a day time high

Those ground hogs lied.

Agreed - it was a conspiracy of groundhogs! We're going to have temps below 32 F for days, and expecting snow/sleet/wintry mix today. Somebody should pull out that pesky little critter and dump him into a snowdrift!

Snow is predicted to start sometime after 1:00 p.m. today in Chesapeake, which means I'll probably be stranded here in Midlothian for another week, as we only have the one car and the wife doesn't do snow. 1 to 3 inches is expected.

Hey you! Polar Vortex! You want a piece of me?

[meeera]

It's finally cooling down tomorrow - only 32!
The newspaper has a story about a woman who baked cupcakes in her car.

Hello again Winter. I wondered where you were.

-19C this morning with a -24C windchilll

Although the forecast high for tomorrow is -5 and then -2 on Sunday.

[WT Sharpe]

I'm back in Chesapeake (my son-in-law gave me a ride) and it is snowing. Very tiny flakes.

[poohbear_nc]

Flurries off & on so far today -- air is way too dry for anything much yet -- no frost on the cars this week even though temps below 32 F in the am

[WT Sharpe]

Sticking here.

My groundhog saw her shadow.
But if you want to dump her in a snow drift you are more than welcome.

Sunny and 74 here today.
Supposed to be in the 80's next week. But no worries in 37 days, we will more than likely have a freeze.

She's smart. Driving in snow is dangerous and it only takes one idiot to cause a chain reaction. I drive in snow as little as possible and here people know how to drive in snow and they've got road maintenance and treatment down - probably not so much the case in the Old Dominion.

[WT Sharpe]

She is pretty smart.

Looks like one inch is about all we're going to get. Well, that and 21°F by morning.

Just back from an unavoidable trip to the store for groceries. It's very cold and very windy! The temperature is about 3°F with a wind chill factor of You Gotta Be K-K-Kiddin' Me!
