Stormy Weather

[amateur51]

Just checking Marthe's forthcoming weather, and it looks like she's in for really strong gales and heavy rain once more, especially on Wednesday, after which, winter (in her terms!) comes blowing in hard from Canada.

Here by comparison it appears we are in for a coldish and rather cloudy but mainly dry week night frosts more likely the further west and daytime temps around the 6-8 C mark, which is not far from the norms.

Aaah there's much Wisdom is them there Norms

Aaah there's much Wisdom is them there Norms

... there was that debate in the European Parliament, during which the French sentence «Nous avons besoin de la sagesse normande» was simultaneously-translated as "We need Norman Wisdom"...

Yes indeed! Those gales are blowing as I type. Rain?? I'll have to check weather.com though S_A's forecasts are always right on the money! I do believe that Wednesday will be rather nasty. Thanksgiving? We're staying here so that I can spend some time with my mother; hep her eat the Thanksgiving dinner over at the nursing home. The Montreal Express/Alberta Clipper is headed our way.

Had a great day yesterday seeing parents and eldest and youngest sisters too. Lunch at parents, roast beef, etc!!

Not a bad day down these parts, so far!

At 6.5 C and a northerly at an estimated 12 mph (by me!) a little colder than yesterday's midday, but at least the sun has come out. Stratocumulus with some convective cumulus below not breaking through the inversion, and thin altocumulus patches above, therefore dry. I wonder how long before they announce "drought"! "Brummie Simon" is now tentatively predicting rather cold weather for the middle of December; he's added a comment about the forthcoming wind and rainstorm in the States.

But nothing yet about the possibility of a white Christmas I hope, S_A?

Nothing as yet, ams.

One always has to remember that colder more often than not denotes more settled, so that would reduce the chances of snow if cold is expected.

Oh goody! Not keen on snow these days, what with me knees and wobbly balance

Yesterday's fierce wind brought one of our venerable trees down. We came home from a drive over to the waterfront and found a tree on the house! We're waiting to hear from the insurance gurus so that we can call in an arborist or tree removal expert. The HH is already estimating possible cords of wood for the fireplaces.

[BBMmk2]

OMG! hope everything will be sorted ASAP Marthe!

Lovely day down here. Pity it's November!! :(

[eighthobstruction]

Oh dear Marthe....yes HH obviously got his eye on the prize....wood....but unfortunate manner in which to obtain this bounty....hope that damage is relatively minor and that you have not got a gale blowing through the house....best regards to you and I hope you get a swift decent builder to put it all right quickly....

....we are Grey and warm here at mo'....

[aka Calum Da Jazbo]

good luck with the insurance Marthe .... and a decent builder!

sunny blue skies today [this morning at least] in the middle kingdom
