Weather – December 2008

Category: weather

There was certainly no lack of snow in December and the two warm days and even some rain only managed to dent the snowcover but not lose it. All that snow has taken a toll on the trees though and when the temperatures crept above zero, the snow became too heavy for many trees. So now we have a lot of fallen trees, then there are some that are just simply cracked in half, and others have lost some branches. But it sure was pretty when it was at its best.

Observations missing for a week while I was on holidays.

    The image you have posted here reminds me of New Years Day in my area and the snow storm we had…

    Our climate is a bit more “boring” than yours… we normally don’t get any extreme weather here at all. Not complaining, though!

    Sugar bomb explosion… ROFL!
