Hey, you choose to live there, you take the butter with the sweet. I live in rural Virginia. No land based broadband, spotty cellular coverage, emergency services essentially 1 hour away unless you get lucky, constant phone and power outages because utilities don’t maintain the lines.
I’m a Notary Public. RESPECT MY AUTHORITY!

Zitat von Boxerboy im Beitrag #2 It wasn't just me...the geese were making a racket that's normally associated with mating season (spring) and squirrels were gathering nesting materials as if they expected to produce offspring imminently. This winter storm week should really confuse them. |

The UK has gone cold at exactly the same time. A coincidence? |

In central Texas, a few riding pals and I went for a ride starting about noon this past Saturday and made a 130 mile loop. Clear sky and low to mid 60's F. Sunday was pretty much the same except for the wind which had increased dramatically. Today is rainy and windy with temps in the 50's F. I can ride pretty much year round but the summers are brutal for a couple of months. Give and take.

Zitat von sunshine247 im Beitrag #7 Well, January is typically the coldest month of the year in the northern hemisphere. |

Zitat von Becksy im Beitrag #9Zitat von sunshine247 im Beitrag #7 That's holding true to form. We were in the mid-40's until this week, which promises temps down in the mid-teens. And, gee...it snowed (again!) last night. Time to haul out the shovel...again... |

Zitat von Becksy im Beitrag #9Zitat von sunshine247 im Beitrag #7 Yes, you are right and deserve some sort of prize for realising that :-) I was thinking of how this part of the Northern US had a change in the winds to bring cold from the north, at just the same time as we have in the UK. It is all down to 'wibbles' in the jet stream and it has 'wibbled' in both Nations at the same time. |
