A very nice quote from Puzzler!

n Halifax here we are just having a bit of snow and then ice pellets and then freezing rain and then rain on top of it all, hopefully warming up before morning (in January warming up amazing) and so a tricky night to be out and better to be in and warm with your family and stamps.

It is always amazing to me all the different conditions and weathers that people live in and can be happy (more or less) in.

Good topic for stamps, people happy in different environments.

We have had over 900mm or 3ft of rain this week. We are so flooded I can not get to our local PO even.
This morning as it rained heaps more on top of what we already have had. I was as dry as a bone listing the 200 1d red KGVs and some other stuff as well because it was a list for free day on .com . The sound of the cricket over the noise of the rain was very nice. Every time the noise on the TV got loud I would watch the replays.
Perfect time for stamping it was indeed. One minute it was 7.30am the next it was 1.30pm. The rain stopped for a couple of hours and it took the best part of a can water spray repellent on the cars electrics to start it. Made it to our local PO and back home and it started to pouring with rain again. Looked at the rain gauge again and we have had another 200mm and it is 7pm and getting dark. It is still pouring with rain. Well back to stamping, I could not think of a better thing to do. Looks like a lot more stamping as the weather report says another week of rain to go

Great topic KVG

I do most of my stamping in the winter, mostly because I can't do any gardening. I am not saying that I don't "play" with my collection in the summer, I just do so after dark

In Montreal winter are not what they use to be. Yesterday it was raining for a while and I had to use a umbrella witch is unusual in January. It's the third time this month we have rain. At night it change to freezing rain then snow. These swings in temperature above and then below zero cause the streets and sidewalks to be icy and slippery. For me there is no doubt that this mild weather in the middle of winter is because of the global warming.

There is nothing like being in my basement listening to classical music and enjoying my stamps and SCF. Then I don't care the weather. I really enjoy this forum. It expand greatly my knowledge and I feel part of a family. A family with members so far away from each other.
