Title: 15th August. Summer will be arriving!
Post by: GROWLER on August 13, 2007, 07:22:44 PM
Remember? That's what ALL the papers were crowing about at the beginning of this month! Halleybloodyluya!! Rejoice! happy088 happ096 barman: drumroll:

THE 15th
I can't wait!
Get the cossy out!
Drag out the sun tan lotion!
Take a few days off werk even, to enjoy that great orange ball in the sky! ;D








Errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr....p'raps not then ey? ::)








Monday evening a rapidly deepening area of low pressure will begin approaching from the southwest. Rain and strong winds will affect Wales and southwest England on Monday night, before spreading across the remainder of the UK on Tuesday.
The wind will ease on Wednesday but the same low will feed heavy showers across England and Wales. Without the push of the wind to move the showers through these may give further considerable totals.
There is a significant risk of disruption for parts of the UK on both Tuesday and Wednesday.... THE 15th. evil:

I ask you this - when you read that completely random statement ,  at least one month in advance, did you really believe a single word?  eeek:

If you had the slightest trace of hope or optimism I would suggest that the water has already done enough damage to you and your search for higher ground should continue at pace  ;D

Many did, and there was an audible buzz of expectation.
Everywhere i went, folk were ranting on about it with almost hysterical excitement!

Me? In my usual cynical outlook on life, I miserably replied to them all, "yea right. I'll get me winter woolies out then" ::)

I'm almost looking forward to the impending deluge now, and the 'told you so's' aimed at the ever so happy ertenal optomists. eveilgrin:

Miss D, there is precedent in this place, for avoiding careless use of the word "Stalker" which some of the inmates patrons find risible.

Sometimes I don't understand 90% of the stuff here either and I never met this crowd on the 'other side' either so what chance do I stand  sad24:

Meanwhile back on topic I am happy to report that Summer arrived in this small part of Denbighshire at 3.47 this afternoon ~ and left again at 4.52. A day early perhaps but the sun did definitely come out and it was quite warmish.
