You are way op north. Of course you get snow that stacks. You should be thankful the wind doesnt skim water off the ocean to shower you with icicles.We've got blizzards here, it hasn't stopped snowing for 3 days... most of our roads are now blocked and impassable even with a Land Rover due to huge drifts and 50 mph winds. Very unusual indeed, we don't normally get snow that lasts long enough on the ground to drift. I opened the back door today to be faced with a wall of snow 4 feet high, had to dig my way out with the coal shovel

Looks like the sea is starting to freeze too, the shoreline looks all slushy and sluggish. Since we live on an island surrounded by the sea, we don't usually get lasting snow at all, it rarely lies longer than a few hours at maximum before it's blown away or disolved by the sea air...this is unusual.
After three years we got snowfall that left snow lying on the ground. It's been promptly marked as extreme weather and tram service broke down. People just aren't used to any of it anymore. Freezing sea is something though. Didn't expect you to be that cold.
Well about 30 cm came down just today. On top of something like 50-70cm all ready there. Happy that I live in city and snow removal is not my problem. Before that heavy snowing it was freezing...something like -20c where I live. But well thats quite normal Finnish winter weather even in south.

Yeah, that's the kind of winter weather I grew up with in the Highlands...but here in the northern isles it's definitely out of the ordinary, I've never seen anything more than a few cm of snow in all the time I've lived here. Constantly battered by winds and sea yes...but snow is rare.

Speaking of unusual weather, this “winter” has been outright bizarre for Minnesota. Didn’t have a proper snowfall until after Christmas (it used to arrive before Halloween), which melted during a brief period of near shorts weather before -20C temps (aka fairly normal) moved in a week ago. Still only a light dusting of snow too. And now they’re predicting above freezing temps on Monday.
Weather's been weird all over. More of that non-existent climate change. Like that hoax pandemic we had a while ago.
How many 40º days has it been up your part of the world?
Its now my head canon that everyone in the Orkneys has this sort of name:
Mad Mark
Crazy Craig
Daft Derek
Barking Bill
Meanwhile, in Tbilisi, we had one day of snow that melted and its been +10 for last couple of days. Georgians are of course in full panic mode, wearing winter coats and woolly hats and complaining about the terrible cold.
How do you actually pronounce "Tbilisi"?

Tbilisi.
Reminds me of when the extended clan went on holiday to Disney World in October. We were sweating in t-shirts and shorts. The native Floridians were wearing long-pants and sweaters.
I also find it amusing that both types of Georgians (the European country and the US state) react the same way to relatively mild winter weather. Mark is a huge, bearded ex fisherman from Guernsey in the channel islands who's lived up here for the last 25 years or so. He has Asperger's syndrome, a type of autism which means he can't read the essential nuances of body language or the subtle hints from others that we all subconciously rely on during face to face meetings or conversations...it makes him very loud and kinda in yer face a lot. He always reminds me of the actor Brian Blessed. "Gordon's alive!"
'Mad Mark' is how he introduced himself when we first met many years ago

Last chance, again, to get lucky and buy an exclusive ship before the price hike!

In case you missed it 2024 sale event F8C without magic ticket? - Star Citizen Spectrum
So the F8C is on sale again and I'd like to purchase it, however I never got the chance to retrieve one of those magic tickets. Therefore I still can't buy it. Are there still tickets in the verse?

You have it easy. You're used to tongue breakers like "rszeszpospolita".
So CIG have sold cop ships (Cutlass Blue etc), ambulances (Apollo, Cutlass Red etc). And hell, even a breakdown truck too (SRV).
I'm ever more convinced that the only reason for the 'planetary fire' daftness is so that they can sell a 'Fire Truck'
(Who wants to bet on there being a Cutlass Orange one day?)
