Cat Moderator Posts: 3307 From: England Registered: Jan 2002	posted January 08, 2003 09:02 AM Way to go Mercury Here's a copy of the latest news here. Retro Mercy is really doing it's job NEW SNOWFALL CAUSES TRANSPORT CHAOS Winter White Out A BAND of snow has hit London and eastern parts of the UK and is heading west, causing snow showers across the country. Residents in London, the North East, East Anglia and the South East woke up to a covering of snow - which was particularly heavy around Basildon in Essex. Forecasters say temperatures will struggle to rise above freezing in England and Wales today, but the extreme cold temperatures should ease over the next couple of days. Temperatures will drop to minus 1C rather than the harsh minus 8C to minus 15C seen in recent days. Traffic heading to the South West has been paralysed by an accident in Wiltshire, caused by the icy conditions. An accident caused by weather conditions on the M27 in Hampshire between junctions five and eight also caused major delays. In Scotland, traffic on the A90 in Aberdeenshire was forced to slow to a crawl due to the ice. "People are taking it a bit more easy on the motorways - at the moment people seem to taking a safely, safely approach which seems to be working," a PA WeatherCentre spokesman said. On mainline railways, a combination of the severe weather and signalling problems has led to delays for many travellers. Snow caused the line between Hexham and Newcastle in the North East to be closed, leading to cancellations and delays on Arriva Trains Northern services. IP: Logged

AmberVonSchriek unregistered	posted January 12, 2003 12:20 AM I MISS SNOW!!! I lived in NYC for 13 years and in Wisconsin for a year... and Texas, too, but no snow there, heh! Now that I've been in Los Angeles for 3 years I really miss seasons. ------------------ i feel so lonely when i'm not with you ..it's such a shame that i'm spending my time without you ..yet i have found you're from a different world ..don't you understand we ride on a space-ship out of control, how sublime IP: Logged
Rainbow~ Knowflake Posts: 927 From: an enchanted cottage by the sea Registered: Jan 2002	posted January 12, 2003 03:15 AM Amber....I'll bet you do miss the snow....sigh As much as I complain about it sometimes, I would miss it too, were it not to come around every year...... IP: Logged
theFajita Knowflake Posts: 2007 From: Boca Raton, FL USA Registered: Sep 2002	posted January 12, 2003 04:16 AM Amber I miss LA...I suppose the grass is always greener you know? I have lived in Florida now since I was 15, and everyone I know has such a negative image is Calif and all I remember is people on the same wave length as me, all sorts of different people, people were open, the beach, the life everything was , over there I remember people smiling, people searching for a higher ground, then I came here to Florida and was a little turned off by the people here..I have friends but they are hard to make..funny alot that I make lately are in Calif...I mean don't get me wrong Florida is a great place..but I'll never denounce Calif the way some people do..but I do wish it wasn't so expensive I suppose I grew up mainly there and loved it.. ------------------ Food is the only art that nourishes!

AmberVonSchriek unregistered	posted January 12, 2003 09:00 PM I don't know about the rest of California.. but Los Angeles seems to be full of a lot of fake people to me. You know what I mean... the fake body parts, perfect hair, perfect bodies, perfect tans, etc. NYC had its share of that but NYC was more in your face and honest even with the icky stuff than Los Angeles. It's like... someone in Los Angeles will smile at you with disdain and then turn around and mumble "I hate that girl" In NYC... someone will just say "F*ck off!" to your face. LOL! But I do LOVE Santa Monica here. The beaches and the vibe of Venice Beach. And really I do enjoy that I don't need a big coat anymore. But I do miss being cold and hopping into bed with 2 big blankets and being cozy there in the warm bed. I miss seeing my breath on the air or walking briskly when it was cold outside. IP: Logged
theFajita Knowflake Posts: 2007 From: Boca Raton, FL USA Registered: Sep 2002	posted January 13, 2003 12:57 AM Hey sounds alot like Boca Raton! I mean there are cool people you just have to look. I know I know here there is a huge emphasis placed on materialistic things and boob jobs many people are fake, from their personality to their skin.. ------------------ Food is the only art that nourishes!

Geez, time flys and we`re looking at the same Dickens scenes again. Odd how a few sunny summer dazes can make one forget the blizzards, wind and ice. I`ve got my Imbolc seeds planted and am thinking spring Wheres Cat> Wonder if she found the fireplace of her dreams. juniperb ------------------ If having a soul means being able to feel love and loyalty and gratitude, then animals are better off than a lot of humans. ~James Herriot IP: Logged
