What meteorological phenomenon (phenomena) affects you this day ? - Page 192

Cold.

It's always cold.

Why can't we get just a little bit of "unseasonably warm" or "freakishly hot, who knew that the Icebox could even get to 90 F in January?"

It snowed this morning, but thankfully the roads were clear. It's supposed to be sunny but cold for the next few days. I really hate snow

The snowplough cleared a path down my street, and gritted it, at last.
I live on a very steep hill and it's been very slippery.

With a fire going in the fireplace, perfect weather for reading.

The estate I live on is just like a skating rink at present; the roads are sheet ice. There's a T-junction onto the main road at one end, which is on a slight slope. If you have to stop at that junction, you're sunk; it's impossible to move again.

Black ice at the Autobahn, and I planned to drive home from work in a few minutes, grrr. I think I better stay right where I am and wait until the gritters have spread some salt on it...

The sheets of ice on the pavements from this morning have gone, mostly, so I could walk on them on my home rather than in the road (i reckoned I had less chance of being knocked down than I did of falling down!).

No luck in this: looked for a flat w/ fireplaces & eventually found it -- want to know the real treat there? Had to build a bathroom in a former bedroom -- & we kept the fireplace so you can have a bath by the fireside... how luxurious is that?

Yo! I'm on the next flight over! Be there in a few hours. Be sure to have the fire going and the bacon in the pan when I get there. (What, you don't fry bacon over the open fire like others do with popcorn or marshmallows?)

Sincerely,
Your evil twin brother Skippy

Hiyo, Bro! A pleasure to welcome you -- and no we don't fry bacon over the open fire, only sardines or mackerels

you should see how you smell when you get out of the tub

(then hop on the bus & see how easy it is to get a seat).

There have been more Eurostar breakdowns and cancellations, so I think that I shall wait until warmer weather before attempting to cross La Manche again.
But my next trip should be free, as compensation for the delays last time.

I have a fireplace in my home in Greece, where it's almost like summer right now I hear!

Here in the UK it's freezing cold (even though the snow is soooo much less than promised), but sadly no fireplace... At least the heating is working (barely) ...
