BETTER THE WORLD ~ PAY IT FORWARD
...

Last week in Australia:
Rain hasn't stopped in three days, causing flooding near the border with Queensland, and flood watches on several rivers throughout the state. Local rainfall today is said to be only 19 millimetres (3/4 inch). I reckon the person taking the readings has moved the rain gauge indoors, to save herself gettin' wet!

Just misread it. That's centimetres instead of millimetres. :-)

I reckon you're right. Localised flooding here. Had to turn round and take a different road home from the hardware shop, as the road was closed due to flood water.

It's warmed up a bit, though 16 C (60.8 F) up from 13 C (65.4 F) yesterday.
That'd be a nice night time temp for Winter here, but we are still in Summer!

We've entered a spell of very quiet weather here at the moment. Mildish temperatures, little in the way of breeze and no rain.

Pretty dull here in New England too (not that I'm complaining). 35°F (2°C), clear/sunny, and a slight breeze. Just a nice February day.

So far so good, It's supposed to get up to 58°F/14°C today. :D

LETS BEGIN IN 2010

That's pretty cold for BC! I guess you can't grow bananas in your backyard, like they do in Victoria?

Makes SW Ontario look semi-tropical in comparison:

LOL
The coast and south/west corner of the province is almost a seperate country.
The rest of the province gets real winters just like the rest of Canada.

It's midnight, and it's cold, and it's STILL winter!

As a proud resident of that separate country I can only say “Yup!”

Today in Vancouver:

6C
Winds SSW at about 5 knots
Visibility: Unlimited under clear skies.

Bring on the bananas!

In other words, pretty close to perfect for Canada in the middle of winter.

That might not be a bad thing. If California were a nation is would be the 7th largest economy in the world. But then we would have to worry about illegal immigrants from Oregon, Nevada, and Arizona.

Oh, it's cold and raining here.

Not mention everywhere else for that matter. The only problems would be California doesn't control It's own borders and has no troops of It's own, among other matters that is.

Except for these smileys and their German imports.

Having lived in California and BC, I can say there is a strong similarity in the ways these regions stand apart from the rest of their parent country. I've been told that this is because of the general historical trend in North America for dissidents/non-conformers/radical thinkers to migrate west, away from the "old ways". The Pacific Ocean stopped this, and they've been slowly building up there for years.

Makes me wonder, where do these people go next? Another reason to start moving off the planet, perhaps.

Anybody out there that got fed up with the old fools in BC or California? Where did you / do you want to move to?

Mars would be ok, But It isn't inhabitable in the least, So We're stuck here.
