    We have wild winds,weather forecasters have just stopped short of calling the wild winds/ rain a cyclone which we don't normally get in SA ...One poor man was killed yesterday trying to remove a tree from the country road ,when another tree fell on him ...The weather has forecast snow (SNOW) I never seen snow anyway snow is forecast for areas that have ever had a even a sprinkle of it before ..id love to see snow but all the areas forecast to maybe receive a sprinkle are up to 3 hours drive from where I live .....I'm by the sea ( mainly flat land) so we'd never get snow here

    Gee, @Kate Ellery, that surely looks like the effect of climate change. Having a forecast of snow in a place where it doesn't snow, huh. This year, we had a rain of ice pellets in several provinces. And to think that this is a tropical country, raining ice is unthinkable.

    Yesterday, I was having lunch and listening to the news. I was surprised to learn that school was suspended in the northern provinces of Zambales and Bataan. I was wondering until the report said there were floods. We had rains last weekend but yesterday was a nice Monday with no more rains in Metro Manila and no more storm forecast. So it really makes me wonder why there were floods there.

    Yikes, Kate....sounds scary, be careful if you're near.

    I feel the same way about snow because we don't get any in Fresno, unless you drive up the mountains and then you have to put chains are your car.

    @Kate Ellery, that 11 degrees C is still okay with me as long as I have a sweater or a jacket. What couldn't endure is the so called zero degree where the wind chill factor seemed to freeze my face. I don't know if we would have the volition to go back to Beijing where we experienced that harsh cold weather.

    PS. You've got a pretty daughter-in-law... if only the pic would be upright, huh.

    That's odd that it would do that because when I downloaded the photo it was right-side up. Anyhow, it's fixed.
