Aunty Acid by Ged Backland for February 12, 2015

Now THAT’S cold!!! We are in the deep, deep, deep freeze here until next week, and then the temperatures start climbing gradually.

I don’t bother to blow my nose anymore. I just break off the icicles.

And here in KZN in sunny South Africa we are almost expiring from the heat and humidity. Temp today is about 31 and feels like 34 and that is one of the better days. :( We are having a very, very hot summer and rainfall is not looking very good either. Dam levels are not looking healthy and we are just hoping that we don’t have water restrictions through through the winter.

One of my friends, who worked on the Alaska pipeline, told me it got so cold there that you need a chainsaw to cut a fart.

73F/22c in Jamaica….which is sort of chilly for here…..We’re used to 88F temps

I would expected the result to be like smog than snowflakes.

Wow, it sure does look cold, Aunty, because of those uh, your kinda pointy um, you know the er, um… never mind!

I don’t know where Aunty lives in the UK but it’s rather pleasant here in the south west.

You learn something new every day. I learned that Aunty is from merry old England.Where I am, in New England, it has warmed up to the 20’s F the past couple of days, but we are soon to return to the deep freeze of sub-zero F temps at night, teens during the day, and another blizzard coming this weekend. I have lived here 35 years & don’t remember a winter with as much snow as this one. It is awesome. The skiing is terrific, and when it melts in the Spring all the lakes and reservoirs should be full.
