Our morning news showed a great clip from Hamburg Germany. The weatherman was doing his forecast when a cat wandered on to the set. He just picked it up and carried on, thinking better to have just one distraction and dealing with it rather than dealing with a continuing distraction (he must know cats, maybe it was his own on bring your pet to work day or something!!)

Please post it if you find it.

Meantime, our rivers are overflowing with this 'big thaw' and lots of flooding, both in BC and WA.

Anyways, good morning from Wetdog in Vancouver.

The yeti sent that to me this morning!

We're supposed to get some snow this weekend. Luckily I have no plans.

I wasn´t aware that this one has even made it to BBC! They are already talking about making the cat a frequent part of Kachelmanns forecasts. The guy´s real funny - with or without cat.

Yeah, I was there. Three days previous, it had snowed three inches and there were 486 accidents on the bypass loop alone. They stopped counting the ones on the streets. I was on call that weekend, so I had to go in. That was spooky.

Yes, Studio Katze He isn´t referring to the cat while forecasting, but his last sentence is something like "And I hope all cats will have a warm enough fur for the upcoming cold night" - Mayb I should post this one in the "Last Sentence Thread"

it's an excellent last sentence, i agree. and very appropriate this week. (current temperature : -3. i have to go outside to the grocery store, and i don't want to. and tonight i'm supposed to go and have a drink with a friend, but if she has to cancel for any reason i admit i won't feel too disappointed. )

More like an Autobahn that circles the city. Controlled access and 6-10 lanes wide. Legal max (unlike Autobahns) was 85KPH later restored to the original 110KPH. The snow was so bad all road were offically closed and only emergency personnel like Pshrynk were permitted to drive... I was out using a meter stick like a sword to chop off snow from plants that were collapsing under the snow load...(Evergreen cedar and juniper type plants...)
