[TheForge] OT snowfall

[Stephen Viola]

Hi all, I hope you holidays have been good so far!..

What an amazing response to an OT posting!

Still no snow however it hovers between 0 and +5 celcius.

I'm not sure if what we have here in Finland are called grouse or
pheasants but as they are referrred to as "fasaani" I would conclude
the latter.. but we have dozens of them in our front patch.. I wake up
almost ever morning to what sounds like a chicken being strangled!
Cool little birds and slightly unusual as I live in a small "city" of
270,000 people.

Seems like Dan went way OT telling us about his morning woody..LOL
"I woke up to about 1/2 inch at my house this morning.  The streets are
clear.
Dan in Auburn Washington"

I had to read it twices to make sure he didn't write that his "sheets
were clear"...hehehe

Sorry Dan just a bit of Christmas bad humour there :o)

OK now that I know the Gods have not just singled Finland out.. I
don't know if I feel better or not! This global warming issue has to
be seriously faced after such a shitty start to this winter!!
Last question.. what is it that we can do? any forums or petitions out
there that we can pay attention to?

Stephen
