Thankfully Dublin has the most boring weather on the planet.
“It’s fierce mild for this time of year!” is about as extreme as it gets here.
Lol I’d totally take that.
Is anybody (including the infrastructure) in any shape or form prepared for this kind of weather in the British Isles?
Homegrove nope. The whole place shuts down when a couple of flakes fall.

I believe Ed’s pouch is fur lined.
That’s pretty much november through february here. Vancouver gets 2 cm of snow at -3 and the city shuts down.
303abuser You’d think they would be prepared. Turku is beautiful now. Snapped this outside the office today:
Homegrove We had fog like that last week at -30, at least it looked cool. The problem with places like Vancouver is the lack of winter tires and experience driving in those conditions.
303abuser ah right, the Pacific keeps the snow usually away. Similar to the UK with the Golf-stream (which also keeps Finland habitable as opposed to a tundra). Always forget that.
Yep the climate is vancouver is closest to Seattle than the rest of canada.

Phwoooooarrrrrrr
Weekend break up to Cairns. Just been swimming in the pool at 9pm. It’s still 26 and 95% humidity. (Apparent temp 32)
I love Scottish weather. It never gets crazy hot and it never gets crazy cold but you get the full spectrum of everything in between.
Crisp and clear with some snow and ice now. Was over 30 degrees less than 3 months ago.
Is Dermo in Cairns?
OR IS HE IN ABERDEEN?!
A pleasant 17 degrees here with no wind. Not normal for this time of year but I’ll take it.
Woke up to -32 with a -43 windchill this morning. Only saving grace is that I don’t have to leave the house most of the week. My schnauzer is normally good to walk at -20, won’t even go outside this morning with a jacket and boots on, she mad.
303abuser I demand a dog tax.
303abuser On the upside, by Christmas Day, it should only be -12. 👍️
Homegrove Thought it was a Simpsons reference.
Lol I demand moving to a decent fucking climate. This is stupid. The remote for my garage door refuses to work.
303abuser a picture of said dog dummy. 😂
