Weather

Well, my home town is famous for it's rainy weather. But a few days ago we officially set a new record:

It has been raining EVERY DAY FOR 60 DAYS - can anyone match that

And it's still pouring down...

[Mephistopheles]

No less than 60 days? I thought that was perfectly normal in Bergen.
After a week or two of frost down here (but no snow), it finally started pouring down again a few hours into the new year.
Where is the &%@# snow?!?

Møkkavær...

"Møkkavær " it IS

BTW: Happy New Year to you, Mephisto. How come you're up so early on New Year's Day? I have my periods of insomnia, so for me waking up 5.30 in the morning is quite "normal"...

[Mephistopheles]

Well, fellow insomniac, it appears we have the same problem.
Me, I've been awake all night watching episodes 4-8 of the Beatles Anthology DVD box.

The most annoying thing is that, despite many weeks of heavy rain, the headline news in the UK this morning is that the hosepipe ban in our region will remain and they are still predicting that next summer could see the worst drought on record. Apparently the rain we're getting is 'too heavy' and to fill the water table - rather than just the resevoirs - we need lighter more prolonged rain rather than the heavy downpours we have been experiencing.

Every autumn we're used to the excuse given for train delays that the wrong kind of leaves have fallen on the line, or the one given in winter that it's the wrong sort of snow on the tracks. But, the wrong sort of rain!! Oh, I give up.

I think there could be a people's revolution before long... there are too many failures like this... really just a way of raising revenue for the shareholders.
