Winters aren't what they used to be. Up to now, we haven't had any temperatures below zero degrees Celsius, which is quite unusual for the time of year.
For tomorrow and the day after, the weather forecast is that it will be around 13°. Normally we should get around 5°. And it doesn't look like it there will be any cold forthcoming later this month. Winter?
Well, I won't complain. I like warm weather. And hopefully we don't get any snow later this winter season. Because snow becomes a dirty mash in our parts. You wake up in the morning and have to clear a path on the pavement (city rulings). Now that our neighbor Willy is no more, that would mean I'll have to do it because Chris is off to her job around 7.30 am. And not only clean the part before my own house, but also that before Willy's as nobody lives there for the moment. So please, snow, stay away!!!
On the other hand, what's happening in Australia is bad. The whole country seems to be on fire. We see the images every day on the telly. Thousands of homes demolished, people on the run to save their lives, ... I have no words for it. Also can't imagine what it must be like because here in Flanders we don't get such extreme draughts and there are no forests to burn.
The only thing we are suffering from is a lack of enough water in the ground. Due to a couple of warmer summers and period with practically no rainfall, the reserves were almost all used up and haven't been restored yet, although we've had enough rain in fall and winter already. When it keeps on raining until summer, we might get back to normal.
Do you suffer any effects of global warming?
