So to anyone who gets REALLY cold Winters i salute you!! ......
Thank God for Central Heating and 4WD cars.......our roads are officially like skating rinks, cars are getting stuck and Schools are closed........ thank god for my teeny baby Jeep (who's laughing now...lol)
i feel like Nanook of the North outside and indoors i have it like Alicante )

On a horrible note 22 folk have died from the cold over the past few days.............

What's the weather like in your part of the world?

[BigFanJimCarrey23]

I live in new york it is 21 here but in los angles it is 75 WOW

[fluffy]

lol......what i want to know is does minus 40 really feel much different to minus 10 degrees or does the human body kinda stop registering temps below minus 10?????

[BigFanJimCarrey23]

ummmmmmmmmmm I dont know

[Canadian Jayne]

the dampness, it goes right into your bones.
It could be minus 12 to -15 here in Eastern Canada but but
out West it's colder but you don't feel it as much, I still have the scar from
frost bite.
For those out in England to stay warm put some hot water in a
recyclable pop bottle make sure it's sealed with the cap, make sure it doesn't leak, put in a plactic bag for double measure and tie tight and wrap in a towel. Then put it in your bed a few minutes before you retire, it's a modern day hot water bottle.

I did this when our furnace went out
one year up north and gave all the kids hot water bottles,from then on
they didn't want a teddy bear but a hot water botter B4 bed.
But it's only a temporary solution.

[fluffy]

that's a great tip CJ.......in the absence of Euan i've got 2 hot water bottles, a furry blanket on top of my duvet, a hoody and 2 furry warm bodies to keep me warm.............i may as well wear a coat and hat too.......lol.....
but frostbite ......wow! that's serious cold ......

[Canadian Jayne]

It's almost like a battle scar,
ah well

lol.....since we're posting national anthems........


Flower of Scotland

O Flower of Scotland,
When will we see
Your like again,
That fought and died for,
Your wee bit Hill and Glen,
And stood against him,
Proud Edward's Army,
And sent him homeward,
Tae think again.
The Hills are bare now,
And Autumn leaves
Lie thick and still,
O'er land that is lost now,
Which those so dearly held,
That stood against him,
Proud Edward's Army,
And sent him homeward,
Tae think again.
Those days are past now,
And in the past
They must remain,
But we can still rise now,
And be the nation again,
That stood against him,
Proud Edward's Army,
And sent him homeward,
Tae think again.
O Flower of Scotland,
When will we see
Your like again,
That fought and died for,
Your wee bit Hill and Glen,
And stood against him,
Proud Edward's Army,
And sent him homeward,
Tae think again.

Where I am in Canada (Hamilton, Ontario) its about -6 celcius. I absolutley hate winter. The cold and the snow.. snow isnt too bad right now. We didn't get snow until a few days after christmas.
We haven't gotten whole lot of snow. Around christmas I was hearing that up north there was lots of snow and parts of the US had a lot of snow.

the romania national anthemTraiasca Regele
In pace si onor
De tara iubitor
Si-aparator de tara.

Fie Domn glorios
Fie peste noi,
Fie-n veci norocos
In razboi.

O! Doamne Sfinte,
Ceresc parinte,
Sustine cu a ta mana
Coroana Romana!

Traiasca Patria
Cat soarele ceresc,
Rai vesel pamantesc
Cu mare, falnic nume.

Fie-n veci el ferit
De nevoi,
Fie-n veci locuit
De eroi.

O! Doamne Sfinte,
Ceresc Parinte,
Intide a Ta mana
Pe Tara Romana!

O Scotland! well then lets put another shrimp on the BBQ

[cotton]

Thats Australia not Scotland lol

Here is the USAs National anthem

Oh, say, can you see, by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thru the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
