Thread: Global Warming???? Not here!

Gosh, what a winter we are having! The fourth blizzard or so this season, plenty of snow, temperatures below -20 degrees, strong winds... every day we have to dig trenches just to be able to leave the house and get to the garage, wood storage shed and the like. Some drifts in our garden (and across the drive way) exceed 1.5m in height. To get down to the barn where we store the main part of our fire wood I had to get through waist-high drifts.
Unfortunately the Disco still isn't roadworthy, so I have to drive along in the TR, which is less convenient as it gets rather chilly inside the cab at temperatures below -5 degrees. Of course you expect scraping some ice from the windshield, but not on the inside...
On the other hand, now is the time when any 4x4-driver is all the other motorist's friend, and it makes one feel good if you can pull out another stuck vehicle from a drift, or even out of a ditch. A few days ago I even pulled out a tractor that was stuck. Good ol' Defender!

I know, you want to see some pics, but I tell you, at -20 degrees you simply don't want to freeze your fingers, and when doing the tractor job it was almost dark anyway. Anyway, I'll see if I can upload some nice winter time pics the next few days.

...and now off to a cosy place in front of a log fire (and a wee dram).
Cheers

Just a few pics for you (to chill down in your summer heat) :









...and now some warm spiced wine!!!
