We are getting stuck with 10-25 expected cm's of Sheila's brush. Hopefully last time for the scrapers and shovel for this winter season. I don't plan on moving out of the house today. Suppose to warm up tomorrow and Sunday.
https://anniedaylon.com/category/sheilas-brush/ More can be read up on Sheila's brush for those who don't know about it is an Atlantic/Maritime expression which has been pretty accurate over the years.
Today is of course after Saint Patrick's Day and last day of winter according to the calendar.

@great-big-stees saidAutumn here and the weather's been gorgeous. Over the border in NSW they're having a 100-year flood. Lots of people stuck on high ground.

@kewpie saidYes, I saw some pictures from over there, looks like some parts need boats to get around. Is it dry where you are? By that I mean no flooding.

@very-rusty saidThe serious flooding's mainly in NSW, although most states have had some flooding. Not in my home state of Victoria though, we're only getting showers here. NSW has major highways cut off and many places evacuated, including some Sydney suburbs. Forget the boats, most people need to stick close to home.

@kewpie saidNo I actually saw people in boats in the story I saw about the flooding. One house was almost fully covered by water. Didn't you people have the drought a while back? I guess the water would just settle on top of the ground be cause it would be baked from the drought.

So long as you are safe and dry that is good. Jeeze there are so many bad things happening in the world now. Nice to see you are not stuck in the harder hit areas.

@very-rusty saidAnd still some people "stick to their guns" when they keep saying that Global Warming/Climate Change is just a myth, eh? 😲

@great-big-stees saidYou know I remember then talking about Global Warming in the 70's and this was farmers and fisherman saying how they had noticed the difference in the weather and how it was changing. It just stuck in my mind all this time, and they were right on the money with that prediction.

@ice-cold saidEven when the odds seem stacked against you, I think it's important to remain optimistic.
The object is to keep this thread on top of page one. A game destined to fail. 😞
Maybe we need a series of podcasts?

@kevin-eleven saidI remember casting pea pods as a kid. Odd that that memory would stick with me. 🤔

@kevin-eleven saidI tend to stay away from podcasts, everyone who wants to stick with them is fine with me. I just don't like bunch of threads going about them. One is enough IMHO! 🙂
