Does this help those of us in BNE feel cooler?

Snow arrives in London as Heathrow flights grounded and flood-threatened coastal areas evacuated

Nope;

I found about the snow in London from Facebook from one friends sarcastic comment.

I had no idea it was snowing. Thanks Facebook!

Victorian weather is being fickle as usual. Forecast 30C today and approaching 11am it's made 19C and raining.
Not complaining though compared to Bucharest where our daughter currently is.

Long shot, but does anyone here have the Brisbane Entertainment Book with an unused Alliance Française voucher?

Which is why they shouldnt survive; their "fitness" is low. If a species cannot breed without human intervention then natural selection is working against it and it should die out.

But how come dumb people keep breeding?

Because we're not allowed to spay/neuter them like we are with dogs and cats.

"Among the snow excitement, there have also been the usual complaints of ‘London coming to a standstill’ at the first sight of a snowflake."



Why Londoners should stop complaining about snow- here's what the rest of the UK has to deal with

The process does not require 'intelligence', otherwise cough sapiens would not be here.

Not through want of trying at times - and not in the European place you may have first guessed: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eugenics_in_the_United_States.

It's only just made 20C in Sale at midday.

Practically hot last week and we're talking C not F .
Colder than your freezer

Our SA Weather Bureau. Where is the accountability? We need some competition.

Forecast (for the last week including as late as last night): 10 year storm today. Winds up to 90 kmh. 40 mls rain in metro area, 80 in Hills. Sandbags handed out yesterday. Flash flooding expected in Hills and metro area.
Reality: no wind. Drizzling rain, no more than 4 mls I'd say. Clearing up this afternoon.


They either overamp or fail to predict. We know that if we have an unpredicted storm then the next time there is a change, they will do overkill.

Seriously pathetic.

Merely 2 more years and she'll be in high school already.

Yes, only two more years of primary school for QF WP's daughter and my daughter. I'm more worried about schoolies, though. :shock:
Hopefully my Little Miss's stash of points will pay for her to go to Europe or the US or somewhere, rather than have her go to the coast!!

Non.

More chars more chars

 

[Katie]

She's in Brisbane with me. She's is doing ok. She's learning fast.

Oh my, I'm not telling my Little Miss 10. She loves babies, and any kids younger/shorter than she is. She loves going up to and playing with little ones; always has.

Looks like have to move desks again. Not sure if temporary or permanent. There are only 3-4 spare desks. Think this is the 13th time since moving to this level in May 2012.

This is not fun.

Generally you get one stuff up in anything, then you always get the overreact. Looking past climate change, is our weather becoming more volatile?

I am quite convinced your office is going to be the basis for the movie Office Space 2.

I don't think so. The media and age of the internet means we just hear about it more from all over the world and then it gets sensationalized as that's what gets the attention.

A coworkers husband quit his GM position for a global company to become a learner driver instructor.

He just had a student that wound down the window, screaming, "get out of the way" to pedestrians as she was driving.
