OT: WHAT'S IT DOING OUTSIDE??

[ltwoman]

I'm thinking about all you Nutters across Europe and wondering: WHAT''S IT DOING OUTSIDE?

[Shangeris]

It's kinda gray outside, and according to the weather report it should be sunny.

The ash has now arrived to Rome, so I'm completely under it, but it looks just like a normal cloud.

Here's a picture that shows where the cloud is now http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/aviation/vaac/data/VAG_1271569746.png

Shangeris, great first hand report! This is so surreal. It's like being cast in someone's bad idea for a disaster flick. What will we be saying about this in a week? a year? Stay well!

[Shangeris]

Thank you very much! It's not so bad after all: the ash has travelled so much that it's mixed with the normal clouds, so it won't harm to the population and the airports are beginning to open. It also seems that the ash is going away, at least from Italy. It's impossible to say how long the eruption will take or if there will be other eruptions, but I think (and hope) it will stop soon.

It's been beautiful sunny weather on the Isle of Wight and no sign of any ash, just slight hayfever type symptoms in some people but that could be pollen. I suppose the real stuff is going on much higher up. Natures way of reminding us that actually us humans don't rule the world

Pretty sky you have there Shangeris.

I just heard about this tornado in Bridgeport, Connecticut and related concerns across the northeast yesterday. Is everybody okay up there?

On fire down here in Virginia!

Blimey! That's a heatwave!

Just about freezing point here and thick thick fog.

I don't mind. I love laying in bed at night and hearing the fog horns going off out at sea.

All our snow has melted but we're expecting more by the end of the week.

Are you gonna build a snowman Laura?

That will have to wait for the next BIG ONE. It has stopped, and it's back to business as usual (damn it!)

We got two inches of snow in Nashville, TN last night! It's very strange - usually if we get snow at all it's not till Jan/Feb. I hear Nutters Indygirl & Kiki, who are north of me, didn't get it too badly...but wondering about lkk...

And maybe more snow on Sunday and more snow next week. If we have a White Christmas again this year, it would be the first time ever in my lifetime that we had a White Christmas two years in a row here in NoVA.
