Summer is expected to come back for a day tomorrow with temperatures up to 22°. (We already got snow in parts of Germany last week.)

The trouble with the weather in Britain is we get far too much of it.

Everywhere you go, always take the weather with you

 

[cliveh]

But do you?

 

[Steve Smith]

Over the last half hour, some of the heaviest rainfall I have ever witnessed accompanied by a lot of lightning.

Pretty much the same here in Bridport as well [must have brought some Scottish weather with me cliveh ]

Cold thick fog on my bicycle ride to work this morning -- turned on my back flasher just in case. I had to occasionally wipe my glasses off to see. It was not-quite-so-cold higher fog on the ride home. The kind of day that the redwoods like almost as much as a good rain.

It turned out the best day of the year. Kind of Indian Summer for a day.

I don't think that's politically correct these days AgX, shouldn't it be a "Native American Summer"

That's the other party. There's 2 here, ours (the normal regular people), and the ones looking for reasons to be "offended". Indian summer is fine. As for my location, tomorrow night will be my first fire in the wood stove.

Expected high of 15C here today on the Left Coast. Off to photograph some construction going on in the 'hood (stock shooting), shortly. Later in the pm I will head down to Barnet Marine Park to photograph seals, fishers, boaters, and humans. All-in-all great weather this week (read:no rain) - very productive, shooting-wise. Tomorrow? The forecast is for the same to continue; perhaps time to head to Steveston or White Rock. Saturday? Off to Chinatown in the am with the M6 and a couple of rolls of HP5. For the week? A much-needed, and well-used "vacation" (man, I sometimes wished I owned a TV set and/or was inclined to at least a few sedentary interests - outside of reading...). LOL

Tom,

Wish we had a wooden stove , its even impossible to find cut wood in istanbul and we have a natural gas burner , german made and sucking our blood. Our home is big and have an very bad architecture , there are miles between saloon and the rooms at the back. I want days long rain , we miss rain and snow , for years our snowy days are a week or so. Everyone is in shock there is no old weather compared to 25 years ago

I tell you what Mustafa--going down in the woods in 40 degree F weather with a maul and ax, and a chainsaw is the life. You work hard, and build yourself up, and you get to stay nice and toasty-warm. And if you don't get out there and do it, then you'll freeze. Ain't no way I'm going to pay the propane company to come out here and bleed me dry. Forget that. I never kept very warm on propane anyway. Now I can keep as warm as I'm willing to work for it. Splitting firewood is addictive.

no more 70-80º days here
heat's on and its like 30ºF in the am
maybe, if we are lucky, its 55ºF mid day
still sunny, just ... fall

 

[Mustafa Umut Sarac]

Dear Tom,

You put it excellent. May be no snow and rain is faraway better for poor people , last evening a paper collector fall off and we ran to help him , he has diabetes and very cold , I gave him a anorak and he said we have no heating at home and he need money for childrens heating , I could not give him money , ... credit card and offered dried food. Better weather is good for everyone , I left the antarctic dreams to national geographic readers.

take care there,
Umut

Around here today we've had gale force winds and torrential rain, and it's still only October, I'm dreading the rest of the Winter, but at least we are retired and have just ordered a big delivery of food and household essentials to keep in stock so we can hibernate if the weather becomes too bad to go out over the Winter.

 

[RalphLambrecht]

What's the weather doing where you are? Here in West Cornwall, England it's about 70F and raining quite hard.

hate to tell you but e have 80F+, blue skies and full sun from dawn to duskBTW,what is rain?

 

[analoguey]

Wandering all along 20s
mixed rain, and almost little or no cold spell.
It is like winter doesnt exist.
definitely warmer than previous years, and definitely later onset of change of seasons into colder temperatures.

If you don't experience rain, you can't appreciate sunshine. Everything is relative.

 

[RalphLambrecht]

Here in Florida we are just entering our dry season. The lower humidity makes it quit pleasant. Also temperatures should be keeping below 80F (27C).

gerald, do you have any tips especially for floridians on dry chemical storage?after his dry season, the next wet season is inundubitablyjustaround the corner.

Ralph,

I live in south Florida and the only dry chemicals I store other than in the original unopened containers are sodium sulfite, edta and citric acid that I use for pt/pd. They are kept in the plastic jars as they come from Bostick & Sullivan and remain okay. I suppose you could use ziplok bags and express excess air before closing and maybe keep them in the refrigerator that would be dry.

Also the other day you mentioned going digital because you would no longer have a darkroom. I suggested checking out a photography program in a nearby college/jr, college as they might have a darkroom and could appreciate your expertise.

Enjoy sunny Florida.

Cold...damn cold, here in Jasper, AB. Yesterday am, the thermometer showed -29C; with wind chill, it was at least 10C colder. The trip up here from Vancouver (temperature of -4C atop Burnaby Mountain when I left) was a near-11 hour white knuckle experience (I usually do it in 6 1/2 - 6 3/4 hours in my German car). Oh, the silly things I will do to shoot photographs. At any rate, despite fresh batteries, the F5 and F4s bodies were toast after four or five shots (I literally could watch the battery indicator fall after each picture I took); as always, the F2AS was called upon, and worked throughout the day without protest. The 500c/m, loaded with FP4 plus likewise performed without any hesitation.

The upside of shooting in this deep freeze: 1. Despite the bitter cold, the scenery was beautiful; and 2. No touristas! I did not see a single soul the entire 120km of the Icefields Parkway on my trip down to the Columbia Icefields, or at any of the destinations I stopped at to shoot: Athabasca Falls, Honeymoon Lake, the "Boulder Garden," Tangle Creek or at the Icefields themselves.
