Snow and Surf in Wales
The snow arrived as promised. It was pretty wild here this morning with blizzard conditions, but Morgan and I went out to play in it anyway… I’ll post some photos of that later. I then did some work and headed off to the hills with Sarah (from next door) around lunch time. We went to...
Record Low ‘Feels Like’ Temperature
It was pretty cold this morning, and although the actual temperature only dropped to -4.8ºC, the ‘Feels Like Temperature’ which is calculated by taking into account the actual temperature, the humidity and the wind strength reached an all time low of -11.2ºC at 7.55am… That could be be beaten tomorrow though! The image is a...
The first flowers of 2007
This is a post for Anna’s mum and all you phenologists out there. We may be heading for some snow and a bit of a cold snap, but our Marsh Marigold (Caltha palustris) has just started flowering. Apparently it is meant to flower between March and June, so it must be a little confused!
Snow on the way for Wales.
Things are getting a little colder, -4.8ºC here last night and it looks as though there is some significant snow on the way overnight tonight and into tomorrow morning. The Borth and Ynyslas live weather station has been displaying its little ‘snow is on the way icon’ since last night. It always amazes me how...
Good ol’ Morgan – 18-24month developmental check.
I had to post and have a little boast about my clever little boy. He had his 18-24 month check yesterday (I was brave and let Alan handle it while I was at work!). Morgan impressed the health visitor and even Alan in some parts by the sound of it. I’m sure a lot of...
Too much stuff!
How do we manage it!!?? Since Alan has got rid of the van he has had to find somewhere to keep all the stuff the van held (and believe me there was a lot of stuff in that old rusty toybox!). Anyway, we bought a shed with idea being to move some stuff out of...
Geocaching Photos – Wales
Dave Sarah and I had a good day out and a nice long walk yesterday. Two caches: Tarren Memorial Llaeron Earth Is It? 14 miles, lots of hills and some amazing views. As usual the photos don’t do justice. Click here for a full report of our day geocaching in Wales. We also found a...
January’s weather in Wales
Our weather station has now been up and running for over a year so I can start comparing stats. I’ve been looking today at the January’s weather stats from 2006 vs 2007…. Now obviously 2 data points can’t in anyway form a trend and with my geological background I’m always moaning at ‘weather experts’ for...
Geocaching Stats
I’ve just been playing around with a site called itsnotaboutthenumbers.com that allows you to upload you geocaching finds to it and then displays a whole load of stats about your finds, where you’ve found caches, difficulty ratings etc etc…. The level of detail is quite a amazing. You can then generate an HTML page to...
