nice trade?

At least it's stopped snowing over here, still freezing though.

Forget the fish, we can employ people to look after them and then we can all hop on a plane and head over to Lou's beach for a cold one. Dam, I forgot I'd not won the lottery :(

BTW we have many aquatic shops over here selling all different varieties of tropical/marine and cold water fish and some even sell those ultra rare giant gouramis ;) Canister filters are plentiful and come in all shapes and sizes and we have many camera retailers, or I could have none of these facilities and be sat on that beach, tough call:confused:

Stop it!

Snow:

If your a kid then:
When you see kids throwing snowballs at each other its looks fun but it hurts as most kids throw ice balls instead. When you do get hit by a proper snowball they tend to explode and end up melting on your skin making you very cold and wet and when your playing in 0 degrees this makes you even more cold.
After that make a snowman with cold snow and this pretty much leads to hypothermia.
Then add the wind chill factor

If your an adult then:
It looks nice and pretty if it does happen to snow on xmas day when you tend not to drive anywhere. On any another day snow added to roads equals to 2 things:
1.Ice, which results in instant death if the roads have not been gritted(a salt based powered gets sprayed over the main roads to prevent them freezing)
2.Slush, when snow gets wet from driving on it it turns into a horrible black substance that not only makes everything a mess but can also lead to point 1

Sorry to shatter the picture postcard look but trust me your better off without it :)

The wife just came up with an extra point about the snowman. If you do avoid hypothermia building it you'll find the temperature has gone us 1 degree the next day and the snowman has gone, hardly rewarding!

Yet I would very much like to experience all that. :) At least once... be it just to remember what a joy it is really to live in a tropical island where the coldest it gets is 9 degrees Celsius (and that happened only once - winters normally show an average of 12 degrees) and the warmest is at 30 degrees.

Currently, it about 26 degrees and very sunny... too sunny. Some rain would be so much welcome.
 
I think winter is beautiful, but from inside your night warm house and in front of your fireplace, except on days like this...


Warm places for the win, I'm tired of having to "find" my car a few times annually :)
