Cube you liar - it ws snowing here yesterday. It's now become that wonderful slush/ice combo that makes going outside far more effort than it's supposed to be. I'll be studying from home today rather than wandering in to the lab, methinks.

We never have snow around these parts (unless you live in our tallest continental mountain), so we have to face cold days without pretty snow-related sights.

 

On the other hand, the sun still appears from time to time. It was sunny enough this weekend for me to have lunch at the beach. So ha! :heh:

Currently pissing it down in Barrhead, so presumably Glasgow too.

 

Lots of lovely slush... Driving to the shop for lunch today!

I think i must have been up that mountain then. At least, we were driving around on holiday and came across a ski resort randomly in the middle of summer. Needless to say, they weren't doing great business.

Well, Serra da Estrela is around here, for reference. In Portugal, snow in that region is a sign that Winter has truly arrived.

We'll probably get the snowfall in January / February. Which sucks balls, I'd love it to snow over Christmas.

 

 

When it snows in January / February, the whole fucking southwest comes to a standstill, We're never prepared for it. Highly amusing as it means paid time off work though.

Hmm maybe not...i think it was Serra de Monchique, but i can't find any reference to a ski resort there, so maybe it just looked like one....

38 degrees here last week heeeyooooh!

 

But seriously -- nighttime this hot = no chance of sleep. Just sweaty, sweaty sheets. At least in the winter you can add more layers!

 

Not really looking forward to the cold. I'm still trying to adjust to the heat hike here, so flipping back ot dark-at-4, cold-all-day isn't going to be ANY fun.

 

UNLESS THERE IS SNOW!!

Snow can stay the fuck away....

 

I'm one of the closer ones to the office so I never get leaving early, and I never get snow days!

 

My raynauds is in full swing in the minus numbers. I forgot my gloves one year and had to shovel 4 inches of snow off my car.. As it does, the blood stopped flowing, and I had to sit in the car for 20 minutes before my hands would regain function!

 

Bring back the summer :(

I live the furthest from my work, and yet they expect me to come in over say someone who lives 20 minutes from work. I don't get snow days either, and if snow does prevent me from getting to work then i am expected and required to make an appearance to the nearest call centre which deals with my line of work (which happens to be where i work).
