It's supposed to hit 74 F here today! Buwaahaahaa!

Any snow on the ground to play in?

@hillhjill All of those potential snowmen! Never to be born. Let us pray together.

@TheHorse it's snowed all day the other day but the temps never went below 33... so the snow didn't stay.

@TheHorse — haw haw haw haw. Different LaGrange, though. I’m fine, just need better reflux medicine.

Ouch. You OK now? LaGrange? Isn't that a ZZ Top song?

@FourWalls I was wondering. What is the LaGrange webcam? It's finna be warm here again.

@TheHorse I don't think I will. My main symptoms were cough, runny nose and sore throat. I thought I just had my normal winter sickness but turned out it was covid.

I hope you do not have long-term after-effects. What were your main symptoms?

@Blondie2222 Interesting. Did you have a fever? I'm glad you're on the mend.

@TheHorse we use Celsius here. 23 was in the morning. It's getting warmer towards the noon.

@prinzcy Converting in ones head is pretty easy. 23 C means about 74 F to me.

Today, I will dishes! Do folks use Celcius there? Was it about 23 Celcius there yesterday? I've never been to Malaysia and don't have a good sense of the seasons.

Global warming, I say!

Heh heh. Thanks. It was a good one. I may have some pix later.

Was the skating good? The temps yesterday were perfect. We discussed how it gets too dang hot in the Summer.

@TheHorse Skating was good. Had to cut it short as more people wanted on. Can only have 10 on the rink. Best to go while kids are in school!

Sounds chilly, but not too bad for the "frozen tundra" of Canada.

@TheHorse Above normal temps for this time of year.

@BarBaraPrz That's what I figgered.

@TheHorse Our Indian gods punished you. Evil Grin.

I hope you feel better. My friend and I were discussing favorite foods as we hiked, and I was starving for Indian food as I drove home. I stopped at my favorite Indian restaurant, hoping they were doing take-out, but it was closed.

@vandana7 I am contrite. You are correct.

@TheHorse My main problem with Celsius is that he was a Swede ;-) We always want to beat the Swedes, and when Celsius is used all over the world, it's getting difficult. But Kelvin makes sense. It starts with zero. I think only helium does anything at all at zero Kelvin.

I prefer my ice with a nice flavoring as well.

@Torunn Agreed. I also agree that we should use Kelvin. Then everyone would be on equal footing and my German friend wouldn't criticize me for using F.

@TheHorse Our climate is actually much maligned - yes we get plenty of rain which feeds our crops and gardens, but we get a fair amount of nice weather too. Today has been bright and sunny, though cold.

Is it typically rainy and dreary there? Do you get lots of rain in the Summer as well?

@TheHorse I has a treadmill. And I worked outside this morning. In the snow.

No "buns of steel" for you!

Right. I'd get bored of if it were there all Winter. But some is good.

@TheHorse I wouldn't wanna live somewhere where it is always hot. I can't stand the heat. And the humidity. I prefer cooler temps, cold temps and lots of snow. But before it turns ugly and slushy.

How warm is an "average" Winter day in Israel?

@TheHorse I do not go by what the weather people say because most of the time they are very wrong in predicting our weather here in Jerusalem. We have had nice weather from around May to around November usually is all I can say. I do not know temps because I do not believe them to be right. Usually from December to about March or maybe April it gets cold and layers go on. This year has been weird. In December we had really nice days where one did not have to wear layers and January also. Now, it seems like the cold is here and we have been getting rain. I cannot tell you about other cities except the Golan. They need snow for skiing. The Golan is in the Northern part of the country. Sorry cannot help with more. In January it is about 6 - 12 degrees Celcius in temps., which is about 43-55 F.

Heh. It's supposed to be warm again today. I may cycle. I haven't done that in awhile.

@TheHorse It s**wed an inch last night. Yechh!

That is interesting! Are you in the Northern part of India? Your weather sounds like a typical Bay Area Winter day.

Thanks! It was a good one. We had a lot of elevation gain, but there were switchbacks, so it was fairly gradual.
