Well , that is the festivities well and truly over with and it’s time to get cracking on with the real fun - painting . I hope you all had your pile’o’potential topped up and feel the need to damage it. MartinC and I will be back at casting furnces of Pendraken this week - it’s rumoured he has an idea for a new mid challenge project - what could possibly go wrong.
I have a coffee in hand to ready myself for the day .

Wow that counts as a "serious" snow photo for the UK, only a ground frost in the UK West Midlands at the moment. I wonder if we are on an "Amber" weather warning what would that translate across to for Canada - slightly "off white" ?
ReplyDeleteCheers - like that term
DeleteEnvironment Canada has moved to colour coded weather warnings too. Last month we had a Yellow Snow warning, which doesn’t quite sound like it was meant to. It looks like a reasonable snowfall, but locals still wear shorts at -8c.
DeleteYes , it’s the famous Yellow Snow warnings… 😆
DeleteI don’t even pull out a winter jacket until -15. Until then a hoodie or sweater is just fine! Hell, Quinn gets yelled at daily by mom still for going out to the shop in sandles and no socks, and we have hit -30 a few times this winter already!
DeleteHave a good one Dave!
ReplyDeleteI am sure I will
DeleteEnjoy your cuppa Dave. You Northerners should be able to cope with a bit of snow. As a teenager I watched in amusement when Hampshire got 2cm of snow on a visit to my dad.
ReplyDeleteYes indeed , used to it as we did get colder winters years ago . The infrastructure that doesn’t cope !
Delete-8? No thank you.
ReplyDeleteI feel exactly the same!
DeleteMorning Dave, glad to share the day (and the weather) with you. Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteCheers - it’s all good so far !
DeleteWe are finally having some winter in the uk for the first time in years, I look forward to less aphids and hopefully those killer Asian hornets getting their butts kicked back overseas - our native bee population desperately needs a break.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a full week of proper sub zero for my area - hopefully sort those buggies out!
DeleteJust a light dusting and only down to -2ºC down here in Norfolk. Stay safe everyone. Not looking forward to the walk into work tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteAt least it’s a dry cold at moment . My car wasn’t frozen over this morning at -6 just very cold .
DeleteKeep safe and warm, Dave. That is a mild day for us but you folks aren't kitted-out for that kind of weather.
ReplyDeleteSurvived it nicely. Out for a swim this morning and painting this afternoon
DeleteThat looks really chilly, ignore what our Canadian brethren say and wrap up warm.
ReplyDeleteThat has been the plan
