Yes, we have to suffer with flowers blooming year round. Life is tough, then we die.

I fully understand. In Southern California when we have a cold snap it gets so cold that we have to wear a sweater or a jacket until 10:00 in the morning when the temperature gets to 74°F [23°C]. The everyone takes off the sweaters and jackets. Since they are not used to wearing those close they just set them down and forget about them. Children leave them in school and never take them home. That just fills up the school's storage space for abandoned clothes. The adults are just as bad dropping clothes in food stores, restaurants, shopping malls, parks and gas stations. Charities are constantly sending trucks out to pick up the clothes.

This is so true, and very amusing. Happens here too, my kids have always got one odd glove and the other missing from the last time (one or two years before) they were worn. It's so funny as I grew up in a freezing cold and wet country and yet after 20 years in the tropics, my idea of cold is now 'maybe I'll wear jeans instead of shorts today'. To be fair, it's normally double the temperature it is here right now and I think anywhere in the world, if the temperature suddenly halves from what it was a week before, people will always feel cold, right?

It's actually a rare treat in Thailand for people to be able to wear a nice light jacket, and they last for years getting such low mileage!

We also drive to the snow to ski or snowboard and after the day or weekend we drive home without shoving the snow to dig out cars or clear the sidewalk. In the Fall we drive to Oak Glen for the Fall Colors and Apple Festival. We eat fresh apple pie, drink cider and drive home without raking the leaves. Yes, life is really tough for us, we have to take a short drive to enjoy the change of seasons without having to live in it.

We're lucky to be far from the snow, but the last couple of hurricane seasons have been intense here in Hawai'i. No direct hits, fortunately, but you always have to be ready for it, or the possibility of a tsunami from anywhere in the Pacific.

Yeah, bummer. They can really ruin your day, as we found out here in Thailand.

Sunny.

R.Gould · Jan 26, 2016

stormy grey wet and warm

BradleyK · Jan 26, 2016

Steady drizzle with some fog up here on the mountain. Perhaps appropriate weather for a walkabout with the Leica and some Tri-X later on this pm.

We're looking at the same sky, Sirius

Black Dog · Jan 26, 2016

Windy and rainy!

BradleyK · Jan 27, 2016

Rain continues: Some 50mm is forecast to fall in the next 24 hours. Oh well, this is the Pacific Northwest, and rain is why it's so green here, year 'round. Grey skies, flat lighting? Time for the TMax3200...or maybe some "pushed" Tri-X...

Is it true that the only cameras there are the Nikonos and the Olympus Tough TG-4?

BradleyK · Jan 28, 2016

lol Most of us here don't let the weather bear on our photography too much. If a rainy spell lasts too long, then it's a retreat to the darkroom. Most of the time, though, rainy/overcast/heavy cloud cover means break out the black and white...

chromacomaphoto · Jan 30, 2016

Yeah so much for all that cold spell talk I was coming out with a week ago, it was already back to 33 C (90 degrees f) + and sunny here today as normal. There goes the one week winter again until next year unless we get really lucky again next month.

There's a big storm here.

Passed by us a few days before you got it.
18mm two days in a row, plus another 16mm from earlier (all of that in about half an hour), the usual average for Jan is only 17mm...

lxdude · Jan 31, 2016

3:45 AM and it's 55 degrees F. Rain is on the way for later today.

Sirius Glass · Jan 31, 2016

It is raining! It is raining!
It is raining! It is raining!
It is raining! It is raining!
It is raining! It is raining!
It is raining! It is raining!

seanE · Jan 31, 2016

lovely, Its only been cloudy for like five? maybe six years, Sure it could be worse Remember you had to use that thing called a ''light meter'' very frustrating, look one way its 250th, look an other way you'd have to changer everything all over again.

winger · Jan 31, 2016

It's in the upper 50s here. That 16" of snow we got are down to piles of dirty slush. 50s on the last day of January is not normal.

mike c · Jan 31, 2016

Its raining and melting away a small pile of dirt on the driveway that was left over from planting one of my wife's tree's about 3 months ago.

BradleyK · Jan 31, 2016

Snow!!! Glorious snow!!! Out the door shortly with an F2AS w/expired TMax3200 and a couple of lenses.

Interesting that 6km away in the valley my big sister reports no precipitation whatsoever (It's been snowing up here since before daybreak)...
