Cricket: fine weather

Great weather for todays one day test match at Lords. Low 20's C and not a cloud in the sky.

So, give. What's the weather like where you live?

We've been having these weird dust drifts from the Sahara [so we are told]. So you wake up in the morning and the windows and cars are all coated in this fine 'top-soil'. But this morning the dust was a peppery red, almost rust in colour. I walked out to my car and ran my finger through the dust and on an impulse licked it. It was paprika...

You mean, you never heard of that before?

What kind of a Hungarian are you, anyway?

Paprika...It isn't any weirder than turnips.

The weather here has been about 45 F (7 C) both inside the house and out. I am so cold, and totally annoyed. It is almost June.

Paprika is very tasty, and very healthy. And the weather here was unusually cool today, as well: around 55 Fahrenheit for a high, outside Philadelphia. That's about 25 degrees cooler than normal for this time of year.

Hmmm....lets see, I'm gone for a little while, and everything gets "spiced" up.:laugh:
Oh well the weather here is very nice for this time of year, temps are in the 60's and sun is shining brightly.

although I did find it interesting to be in Mississippi to see a nice front move across the flat river land and on my trip back get to see this same storm front and how it differed in looks when it reached the foothill area of the mountains where I live.

Sounds chilly. But a good warming dish of Hungarian Goulash [main spice of course paprika] would probably warm you up nicely. Actually think that here in the SE of England we had summer for one week in April. Hope that I am wrong.

Weather...

Turnips too [As mentioned by Kathycf] are great cold weather food. See all episodes of Blackadder I. Baldrick had a special talent with turnips and if it could get you through an Elizabethan winter when the River Thames froze, well, the life saving aspects of a turnip are not to be sneered at. It is so miserably cold at the moment that I may go out and dig up the lawn and plant a good number of turnips. Believe that they are particularly delicious when roasted with garlic and sprinkled with paprika. A much maligned vegetable if you ask me.

Baldrick had lots of special talents, didn't he?

They need to show Blackadder on TV more often.

Weather today is again unseasonably chilly. I am encouraging my biggest cat to lay on my legs because he covers them up well and he is very furry and warm. :laugh:

In England? All of a week? You must be having a heatwave, mate.

You aren't. Neither am I. But the whole world is Hungarian. We just don't know it, yet.

Hungarians

Budapest Weather Forecasts on Yahoo! Weather
Extended Forecast for Budapest, Hungary

Weather channel: Tomorrow 87 F and Tues 86 F and so on... Think I want to be Hungarian. They are also reknowned for being highly intelligent and erudite. Hmmm.

This seemed a good time to bring up again the one subject everybody has nothing to say about, and always says it, anyway: the weather.

I've been told by many people here that Cleveland in the winter is cloudy and cold. So far, it's been living up to both points, with an occasional inch or three of snow just to make driving interesting. Nothing major, of course.

Anyone here with tales of beaches in NZ or Australia? I know Bush is looking for somebody to invade now that his attempts to make Iran a target have gone hilariously wrong, and you just might turn up a winner, with any luck.

He might find a pretense to re-invade Afghanistan, if you give him enough time to let people think it up for him.

Weather here is warming up, hardly a surprise, and rainy. Right before leaving work, a co-worker mentioned that it was pouring outside, and I mentioned how I like the rain. She said she did, too, that it would keep customers away, and I countered with, "On a warm rainy night, I would run around naked in it." That did not go over well with her or the co-worker who was in earshot of that comment.

Right now it is very, very hot here.

The weather here is very, very cold. (aka freezing)

The weather here has really changed. A few years ago it was warm in the summer (28 degrees C average) and in the winter cold (-2 degrees C average) with lots of snow.

This summer it was burning hot (40 degrees C average) and now in the winter it's freezing (-12 degrees C average so far) with almost no snow.

it's currently -12 degrees (F) here in Chicago. Luckily, the wind is blowing a bit, so the wind chill is -29!

That's what you call global warming.

And someone should really do something about it.
