Yes,

I've heard that Siberia has been abnormally warm this January, the eastern U.S.A. abnormally cold and snowy. The snow in Cairo during December was the first in 118 or so years. For a weather watcher, like me, it is all very interesting.

I've just received these photos from Rimmer De Vries in Michigan - he is pretty fed up of snow piles as high as he is - who could blame him!

Good news for us here in California!

Much needed rain and snow has arrived with more in the forecast this coming week and weekend.

Some communities were going to run out of water in the next month or so and now this may be avoided.

Hopefully the UK can dry-out a bit. The flooding in the Southwest is news here in the USA. We are hoping they get some relief and not from the Navy.

Our sky seems to be leaking. I have been told it's rain but it's been a while, so it could just be Scotch mist. We've not had the serious drought we had last year, but certainly rain is needed. It's been very warm and humid for the last couple of weeks.

Meanwhile- at the Glenshee Ski Centre, they have too much snow for  general skiing - drifts of around 32ft- almost to the tops of the pylons that support the chairlifts - that's around 70 or 80  miles from here  - looks like a world away!

Showers on and off all day and breezy but in the last hour things have become very quiet and no wind at all. Ominous!

We just got news from our irrigation district that the planting of row crops has been ban. We farm and grow row crops so I guess we are out of business this year.

At least we will be getting some water so we can save our orchard and other plantings. We are better off than some California farmers who have been told they will get no water at all.

Rain is fall now, however at 10% of average we have a long way to go to change the situation.

I'm thankful it is raining and that we will have some water this season. Now how to survive without income.

I anticipate that Southern Water will announce a hosepipe ban in the summer.

It seems like we could do with a transatlantic pipeline! It's not funny for the people affected though. Do you think everyone's getting the message about climate change yet?

Wholesale destruction here with hundreds of trees down and a quarter of a million homes with no Electricity. Thankfully my greenhouses are still standing for the moment anyway. Another storm expected on Friday.
