No idea what our roads are like, but we have a covering on the ground. Not much though. It seems to be warming up now -4掳C. Was -8掳C at midnight.

You'll have to get your snow plough out.

When I lived in Austria I had snow clearing insurance but it got to the point when we decided to stop paying as we thought they were unreliable. Easier to do it ourselves. And of course, the local government sent the snow plough out and dumped it all back on the path again.

All that is taken care of, under the house insurance. Its all cleared before 6am. If anyone falls and insures themselves after 6am and its not cleared the firm is liable and would have to pay out. So they make damn sure the path is cleared. Unter that insurance our water usage is paid, our underground sewer and water pipes to the gardenhouse is all over as well as the building.

Better than here then.聽 When I was there, I think they didn't care if they cleared it or not presumably on the grounds that the rewards outweighed the risks.聽 Don't remember any cover for water pipes.聽 They bury them here about 1m down and the pipes are insulated.聽 Obviously the water keeps moving so doesn't rest there for too long.聽 Not long enough to freeze anyway.

Yep. When I lived in the Alps, I spent more times unburying the car from the efficient Swiss snow plow service than I ever spent worrying about the roads not being plowed. They were almost always plowed. And when they were not, my little Subaru AWD car had no problems. Actually had to take my wife to her work on some snow days, and it was actually faster to get the car out early, and get her their driving on the snowy roads than having to unbury the car then drive her in on plowed roads.

It was almost hot here in Vegas today, went outside with just a short sleeve shirt on. I'll guess it was nearly 60 F today but in the sun it felt like 80F.

Sounds nice.聽 Where I am it'll probably be 26 C tomorrow but still windy. I am quite pleased to not have the airco on this time.聽 聽

Mrs Fluffy tells me snow expected in HU - 1cm at least but brightening up enough I think for the snow to melt by the end of the week.

Maybe it's off topic to report on weather from another country.

Not off topic at all.

But if not in Hungary, letting us know at least the continent you are on would allow all to place the weather report a bit more usefully.

I am of course assuming you are still on Earth..... And are not using a Stargate or similar....

I'm on Planet Caribbean.聽 Not a holiday unfortunately but a major holiday destination. Luckily I'm not paying, just keeping my nose to the grindstone.聽 I left my Stargate聽 at home - excess baggage exceeded.

Luckily today it's 26 C聽 and now very sunny but still a bit windy.

Mrs Fluffy is reporting spring-like weather.

Tomorrow (Sunday) will be 18 C and sunny.聽 聽It's about 15 C outside now at 0930 but very sunny and nicely warm in the sun.

It is freakish, weird, and smacks of conspiracy theory of a weather control device at the tourist ministry that the best weather is on the weekends....

Put them in a stroller. It is kind of cute. As one ages, one reverts to being treated like a baby. That use to happen to us real old farts, when we could no longer walk, and drolled all over ourselves. But now our teenage children need a stroller to go for a walk with us because they are brain dead to the real world....聽

I'm not such an extremist and more old school.聽 For kids, I've resorted to bribery.聽 聽

Dog enjoyed the walk this afternoon and discovered the benefits of running around in a stream.聽 聽

We weren't so keen on the smell of wet dog.

We went over to the large farmers market yesterday,
I usually try to avoid that place on Saturdays, so many picture popping selfie taking tourists inside that often聽 I am sorry we didn't eat out instead of shop for food.
Wasn't too bad yesterday, I walked both ways and even got my husband to walk all the way home with me since it was so nice outside.
Looks like another lovely day. Have to start thinking of ping-pong/table tennis again. Perfect weather for a round or two.
Suppose to get up to 68F today .

Excellent.聽 We were out in T-shirts.

We walked to an area near here they sometimes use as a film set. It's a hidden valley that was part of a quarry and it's a popular place for people to walk around.聽 Click here:

When we got down there, we saw they've started to put in fence posts to divide the place up.聽 We're horrified. It's a very nice area which is surrounded by hills and very few obvious signs of human habitation with a stream running through it. It's also on the edge of a protected area.聽 聽

That's the problem with this place - as soon as someone sees some value in it, they ruin it and screw it up.聽 聽Mrs Fluffy is rather annoyed so she's going to have words with the mayor.

68 F ..... you must have meant to type 20 C.

Excellent weather, today more then 20 C in March is gorgeous. Winter was mild this year and on a day like this we already see many wasps (a draw back for the summer to come)

Sometimes good to have a few days for strong winter, but no mistake one of the good things of Hungary is the weather.

I like the spring and fall best in Hungary.
Summers are way too humid for me here.Grew up in S. Ca. and lived for years in Hawaii, guess I'm a bit spoiled weather wise, expect too much from European weather.
Not sure what's going on with the climate in the world but my husband tells me when he was young and living in Budapest it used to be really cold every winter, the Danube would freeze over and lake Balaton also froze over. They used to crown their Kings on the lake it was frozen that solid, could support hundreds of people, horses and carriages,
My biggest issue with Hungarian winters is the overcast skies. Not ever something I will get used to.
Suppose it all comes down to perspective and where one comes from.
I must say though going swimming in the Pacific Ocean on Christmas day in Hawaii is not something everyone can experience.

18掳C here today, I should be out in the garden but silly me. I have only gone a broken my toe.聽

You've gone non-digital then?

How'd you do that?

Dropped a clanger or put your foot in it?

Really?聽 Looks to me like all outdoor activities have to be cut back!聽 The dog is wet and smelly. All our shoes are muddy.聽 And it's unseasonably cold!

<- what's to like?!!!

I had so many plans!
