No moans from me today. Beautiful day here in eastern Norway. Been out cross country skiing and had a perfect day. Didn't bring my camera, but have copied a pic from the webcam along the trail.

John Santegoets - if you are lurking; this is the area your Rubus chamaemorus plants come from. If they ever get home sick, you could show them this picture  ;)

It's wet, very wet. It's windy, pretty cold. I hate this weather! And no, John in Kent, I will not modify "hate" in this instance! :-X

Raining when I got up this morning, and still raining now with a howling Westerly gale. It's been raining on and off (more on than off!) all December so far, AND I'M FED UP WITH IT >:( >:( >:(

Just be glad you're not waking up to the smell of smoke from a bush-fire! It's a bit scary, but we've been told that it's actually from the fires in South Australia many miles away.
We've had temps into the 30's (Celsius) and it's just the start of summer. A bit of a respite today with overcast skies and the chance of rain - not always welcome when accompanied by thunderstorms which can trigger fires by lightning strikes!
jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way, Hey!

I'd settle for just a few degrees warmer and no rain hammering at the windows.

And here in my parto f Australia we're having around the mid 20s ('c) each day, which is way cooler than it was a couple of weeks ago.  The last 3 weeks we've had some significant rain too, which is good, although it hasn't raised our dam levels as the rain has been within the city rather than up on the surrounding hills.  At least we haven't had to water much though, and actually having water soaking into the subsoil a little is a nice change from the last few months (and years for that matter).  Still getting some warm nights, with 19'C the minimum the other night as far as I know, or at least not much below that anway.  Somewhat different to the frosts etc eh?  ;D
Cheers.

The temperature here is hovering just above zero as I write and it looks as if it is going to snow.

Here the weather is wet. It rains often and the river Doubs is out of his bed ! But if the low parts of my garden is under water, the bulbs collections are always above the water level !!! But it is nice, the river become a lake, perhaps my lochness !!!
