Keep warm and safe

True! Greenwich! :)

Thanks Paul, we are good - my family on the Jersey shore had the snow AND gale-force winds - many on the coast not as lucky as us.

I wonder if they have problems with match fixing, performance enhancing drugs or corruption in the administration.   :D

Cheers - Phil (I hear Addidas are withdrawing from sponsorship of the IAAF.)

Well.....

We're back to normal !

Don't know how many inches of rain have fallen today.  (3?....4?) X_X.....And the wind's blowing like crazy.

Odd....But I don't remember 'them' giving this one a name.....Or has it not been classified as a storm ?
Seems worse than some of those that we've had recently.

Cheers - Mr Wet-of-Wales.

Blowing a gale up here in the northwest as well.

That's a very positive way to look at it  :) thanks!

Techno - I just looked at your recent rainfall statistics - outrageous! Don't rust!
As to names - one of several thing I admire about you'uns is you are not so vaporous as to name
every tropical depression and snowfall! (Although 3-4" is getting close to needing a name)
