    Snow!

    Who has snow where they are? We have here in Sussex UK and it's really coming down and we're all snowed in so can't get to work.
    Hope everyone in the UK is all enjoying the snow.

    ... gosh, Alan ... changed days!! I was seconded to the St Albans branch office of a large Insurance Company back in January/February 1966. And I remember - on one particular occasion - leaving the then Renfrew [now Glasgow] Airport ... and the tarmac being dry. Yet, it was snowing heavily when my plane touched down in London. By the time I reached my destination ... the snow on St Peter's Street must've been between 12 to 18" deep!

    Yeuch ... loads of the stuff here in East Central Scotland. Main roads passable ... side roads and pavements bloody treacherous. So NO, it ain't a picnic! But with Mikey; there did seem to be a lot more snow around decades ago ... albeit, it was usually something *kids rejoiced in - even if the grown-ups didn't exactly share *their enthusiasm.

    It's clearing here and the ice is begonning to clear so that's a good thing because it was so slippery. Yes the Philippines doesn't get any snow or winter because it's always warm all year round.

    Snow is not recorded landing on the ground in the Philippines although the temperature can fall to freezing at the summit of Mount Apo (nearly 3000 metres). The lowest temperature in the past 50 years in Baguio City was just over 6 degrees Celsius ; 14 degrees in Manila.
    While temperatures do remain fairly high in most of the Philippines all year, there are two distinct seasons, the wet season (southwest monsoon) from May-October and the dry season (northeast monsoon) from November to April, although the southern islands have significant rain all year.
    Daylight hours in Manila vary from just over 11 in December to 13 in June.

    Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
    The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.
