It's December, right? I live in the north of Scotland, latitude 57 degrees 6 minutes N, to be precise. For my geographically challenged readers (and those with a North American perspective), that's almost as far north as Juneau, Alaska.
WHERE IS THE SNOW!
We went for a walk yesterday in the woods by
Crathes Castle and I didn't see a single flake.
I have been checking my friends' blogs. They all live further south than me. I see lovely
Stella joyfully rolling around in the soft white stuff. The land around the
Rocky Creek Scotties' residence is looking stunning, like a scene on a Christmas card.
Hoover now blends in beautifully with his background.
Jake and Fergi have decided that the best response to a blizzard is to loll around indoors all day in their jimjams.
What do we get here in Aberdeen? Rain, rain and more rain. It's just not right is it?
I gather that there is a big meeting in Copenhagen this week. Gail explained it all to me. I think I understand. A lot of hot air will be generated, then Barack Obama is going to fly in at the end and fix it so we get snow in Scotland next year. Something like that.
Do you think he'll succeed?
Oh. Gail has put on her scientist hat (metaphorically) and is telling me I'm over-simplifying again.....she's blethering on about the Gulf Stream, and how this young laddie Obama isn't personally responsible for the Scottish climate....
PS from Gail - it seems that on some computers, part of this post appears in Greek, but on other computers, including mine, it all looks normal. There is NOT supposed to be any Greek! (Hamish is not THAT clever!) I am investigating. Has anyone else come across this before?
