Well, Maggi, I'd sure like a bit of the white stuff to protect my plants.  They've been subjected to some pretty severe frosts these past two weeks with no protection at all.  Things seem to be coping so far, but if it lasts I'm not so sure.  Normally I can grow a lot of semi tender things outdoors, but they may well perish this year if this keeps up.  Supposed to be milder tomorrow and Tuesday though

Forecast for the rest of this week here is for rising temps..... to 30'C for the weekend.  Feels warm, but compared to some years where we get 39 or 40'C around New Years it is pretty mild.  A couple of years ago we had 39.9'c on Dec 31st, and 40.3'c on the 1st Jan.  Thankfully not even CLOSE to that this year.

Luc,

Thankfully the rain wasn't wrapped.  If it HAD been that would have been one heck of a parcel!!  ;D  Between Friday and Monday we ended up with an extra 2.5% in our storage dams for the city.  I'll be interested to see how much more has trickled in by the time we get the next update for dam levels tomorrow.  All VERY good to have leading into summer. 8)

It seems that there is lots of "Christmassy " weather around europe..... we have had lovely photos from Vroni and Luit in  the Netherlands, showing them snugly wrapped up against the cold,( I think in front of the beautifully frost covered Ulmus that Luit showed us in the Forum) and today some frost rimed shots from the garden of Uli Lessnow in Germany.... Winter is not so pretty with us here in Aberdeen as yet! Not sure iif that is a good thing or not  ???
Well seen Maggi, this was the only picture out of six on which we did not shiver this way, that the picture failed

Sadly Luit died on 14th October 2016 - happily we can still enjoy his posts to the Forum

I spoke too soon unfortunately <sigh>..... tomorrow and the next few days are now forecast as 33'C.  Given that tomorrow HAD been forecast as 30'c doesn't bode well for what the next days will be if they're as wrong as tomorrow was forecast.  Has been such a nice December too!!  ::)
