content: Code:Looks so pretty :) It doesn't look like we are going to get any snow this year here in Washington state.You mean....no snow at sea level. Go above ten thousand feet of elevation above sea level, I'm sure you'll see plenty of snow.Here in Pennsylvania it was warm yesterday--39F. That must have changed as this morning the landscape was white. I just shoveled two or three inches of snow from my driveway. So I am overheated and sweating. It is freezing temperature now. So just about right for January--maybe a touch on the warm side. We haven't yet had a whole lot of subfreezing air temperatures. I have a feeling that's going to change very soon...

content: Kremmen, you mean the Finns will no longer run howling at the moon? I have the exact opposite, i lived 3 years in a small town with a reputation of 365 days a year of sunshine. Us locals would go around in winter with jerseys and coats on, complaining of the cold 12C low, while the upcountry tourists would come to the resorts and drop from heatstroke. The local farmers were muttering that if it did not rain in the next 5 years they might think there was a drought on, we joked the fish learnt to swim by correspondence course, along with the frogs in the sewage plant. When rain finally fell the wildlife went crazy, they had never seen rain before.

content: You forgot that at -40 the Americans can finally find a common temperature. -78.5 you no longer have to worry about CO2, as it is now part of the snow on the ground.Here it goes something like10C, Durbanites complain of the cold and wear jerseys, turn on the heat and shiver. Vaalies are on the beach in a speedo and swimming15C locals are considering going out not looking like an eskimo. Vaalies are turning into lobsters.20c locals say it is spring but cold, upcountry visitors are turning on the aircon.25C locals might go to the beach, if they can find it under the visitors.30C the locals go swimming. Upcountry types look for the umbrella and drop dead from heatstroke.35C the locals go swimming, Upcountry are in airconditioned malls, otherwise they melt.40C locals think about turning on AC as the cap no longer is sufficient. Upcountry have gone back to saner temps.Note humidity here varies from 40% in winter to over 115% in midsummer.So far this summer has been rather cool overall. Normally December is hot, but hottest months are February and March. This year it was cool, only a few days over 30C, and a lot of rain.

On Monday morning it was -22, but the coldest place it was down to -33.The picture is out my window, at the entrance gate of this old hospital, laying by the sea in south part of Norway. In the summer its very nice here, but now its only nice inside. We got a swimminpool with +32C. Its mostly for traing, but its nice place to be anyway.I'm long away from my workshop, but some day..

Right now is 68F/20C.I took this photo day before yesterday, didn't take it for the intention of showcasing the weather, but you can see what it's like. Trees are bare, ground is brown. Was sunny then, today is a little less sunny.I envy those of you who live near natural beauty. There is not much to see where I live.
