Sometimes it makes more sense than global warming, because the weather can get worse (more precipitation, more storms). The polar ice caps are melting...which makes the term global warming more apropos.<br /><br />I'm glad you came by!<br /><br />Goatman,<br /><br />Yes, that soft drip, drip, drip on the Coast is lovely, isn't it, lol! I understand what you are saying, however, after a few days of it it can get annoying.<br /><br />I love the sound of your bay and one day will visit it, I hope. The thunder and lightning here in the interior sounds much the same. I love the summer storms; yet they will cause forest fires up here, more often than not.<br /><br />I loved your description of the thunder and lightning storms, Goatman...I could really feel how glorious it was!Marionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00607220451457829777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18435846.post-45593516911176971642009-11-10T14:20:52.005-08:002009-11-10T14:20:52.005-08:00Living in Oregon , we were surprised by the lack o...Living in Oregon , we were surprised by the lack of thunder and lightening when the rains came often with tedious drippings.<br /><br />Living in south Texas (Matagorda Bay), were were amazed by the thunderstorms, lightening and clouds which rose heavenward to the heights of the sky. Early morning leavings in the sky like great sailing ships glowing in the morning sun. <br />It was glorious !!goatmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02317617928368945316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18435846.post-2182601555960773872009-11-10T11:45:37.119-08:002009-11-10T11:45:37.119-08:00I am stunned to hear that even where you are, wint...I am stunned to hear that even where you are, winter is waning... <br /><br />Global warming is evident. :(Daisy Deadheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17993200276152025235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18435846.post-65280131120962574642009-11-08T08:10:17.281-08:002009-11-08T08:10:17.281-08:00Margy,

Its what I was accustomed to.<br /><br />Thank you for the lovely description of Powell Lake. I felt as if I was there with you, having a cup of tea and watching the Water and Clouds.<br /><br />I enjoyed your video of the water rescue...how amazing it is to see the helicopter hover like that! <br /><br />thank you for visiting!Marionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00607220451457829777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18435846.post-78324194502002617692009-11-08T08:05:36.103-08:002009-11-08T08:05:36.103-08:00Snowbrush,

I've camped on some of them in January!<br /><br />As I age, I,too, look forward to living in a warmer climate than my present one. This will happen; I've just got to wait a few years!<br /><br />Jan,<br /><br />According to the book Weather of British Columbia, climate change will bring about more arid and warmer conditions in the province in the twenty-first century. So Winters will be shorter with less Snow. This could be terrible news for the Winter sports industries here.<br /><br />I'm with you, however, in that it takes a strong body to deal with the drastically cold temperatures here.<br /><br />Nicole,<br /><br />See? There ARE people who live here who love the Winters...and you're one of them! And you know exactly what I'm talking about, although I believe 100 Mile House has more extreme weather than 150 Mile, which is strange, since you're South of us. But the saying up here is...if you get past 100 Mile on the highway south, you'll be alright (with regards to treacherous Winter driving)!<br /><br />Sheila,<br /><br />Aren't those warmer days before Winter hits so inspiring...they make me want to do all sorts of things, quickly, before the bad weather hits.<br /><br />And you know what...I still say roll down the Windows! Guess I probably always will.<br /><br />I'm so happy you visited! Old friends are very important to me!Marionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00607220451457829777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18435846.post-31417773440683442972009-11-07T13:36:10.131-08:002009-11-07T13:36:10.131-08:00I am sitting with sun shining through the windows....I am sitting with sun shining through the windows. Across the Strait of Georgia I can see a dusting of snow on the tops of the mountains on Vancouver Island. The water is gray though, because more clouds are heading this way, ready to give us another dousing. What I love about the coast is the type of rain we get. It's more like sprinkles that don't slow you down outdoors. Yes, we get a few downpours, but that's not the norm. With a hat to protect my head and a jacket over my shoulders I'm ready to enjoy Nature in any season. - MargyPowell River Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17580698518291129041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18435846.post-69490033079761763142009-11-07T10:53:07.363-08:002009-11-07T10:53:07.363-08:00Hanker.

Like you, I know our winter approaches, but today I lowered (remember when we used to say rolled down, least we Southerners did) the car's windows and embraced the fresh air. Nary a cloud to be found.Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17482567840321600439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18435846.post-89038571173601072732009-11-06T14:15:14.764-08:002009-11-06T14:15:14.764-08:00While my heart is aching a little more for Winter ...While my heart is aching a little more for Winter each day, I too am enjoying this warm weather!

Coastal or inland, it would be too dark and cold in winter to suit me, but then that is the case here too. If I were alone, I can envision myself in place like Southern California where it's summer all year.Snowbrushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00436087215476479042noreply@blogger.com
