AriehnV: :-) you did a nice job i think
Menelvagor Valar: You sure did.
ArPharazonV: Thank you! I wasn't able to share a lot of news tonight as much as Varda or Eonwe would, but I did my best.
Menelvagor Valar: and can't blame anyone with this very nice yet atrocious weather!
AriehnV: whats the weather like in Netherlands?
Menelvagor Valar: I wouldn't have done it better myself Pharzie.
Menelvagor Valar: snow, snow, snow and more snow.
ArPharazonV:
I hope my 15 minutes of fame are now over and next week I can sit back
and enjoy as those more used to the task take over once more :-)
ArPharazonV: yep, snow
Menelvagor Valar: forecasts actually state we'll be having a white christmas.
ArPharazonV: my parents made a snowman in the afternoon while we were working on the pc-upgrade
ArPharazonV: all public transportation stopped because of the weather
Menelvagor Valar: as it will continue to snow up until christmas eve (not continuously though).
AriehnV: hehe :-) nice
AriehnV: we had about 3 inches of snow yesterday
AriehnV: or a bit less
AriehnV: which is enough for Portree ;-)
AriehnV: its not a mountain village
AriehnV: but it was raining into it when i left work at seven o clock your time
ArPharazonV:
I think we had something around that amount here too, locally (well, in
the backyard and on the street, anyway, I didn't go much further)
AriehnV: i just hope that slosh wont freeze over or it will be baad on the roads tomorrow
Menelvagor Valar: hehe.
Menelvagor Valar: I think there's at least 5-6 inches of snow on my balcony.
AriehnV: i
remember last year we had weekends when or at least one when the police
had really a lot to do with over 20 accidents in the region
AriehnV: cars going off the road
Menelvagor Valar: yeah, looks like we're heading into an ice age :-)
Menelvagor Valar: global warming my arse :-D
ArPharazonV: pch, we had the warmest november in ages
Menelvagor Valar: it's getting colder and colder each winter!
Menelvagor Valar: and with -7 straight out on winter's doorstep.
AriehnV: not really that smooth of a seasn change anymore :-\ we go from one extreme into the other
Menelvagor Valar: in centigrades of course, not fahrenheit.
ArPharazonV: I'm glad we've been having this snow, though the extremes are worrying, as Arien said
Menelvagor Valar: for our american buddies who might be reading this at a later time :-)
ArPharazonV: I'm not sure we'll see many winters like this anymore in our lifetime
Menelvagor Valar: aye.
AriehnV: indeed i think you can save it and send if for them to read#
ArPharazonV: Of course, I will be saving the transcript and sending it to Varda.
AriehnV: :-)
Menelvagor Valar: especially if we spend every next winter of our life on gran canaria, ibiza or in australia!
AriehnV: ah well if the water in the stoor fall jumps back up the 40 feet cliff maybe
AriehnV: Stor fall

VardaValar1: Much fun. Movie: Avatar. Many presents. Three pizzas.
VardaValar1: Great company. :-)
ArPharazonV: oh, Avatar, I'd heard from that, supposed to dethrone lotr as top-movie ;-)
ArPharazonV: *of that
VardaValar1: Not with me, although I enjoyed it a lot.
VardaValar1: Top box-office you mean?
ArPharazonV: most expensive movie ever I think, 500 million?
VardaValar1: It was a new technology for 3-D, so it should be high-priced.
ArPharazonV: well, in Christmas viewings I believe, and in Oscars, and stuff like that
VardaValar1: But the tickets are very high too, and the glasses were 3 bucks a pop.
ArPharazonV: eek
VardaValar1: There were 6 of us, so we felt it. heh
VardaValar1: It's not something we can run back and watch seven times, because of the expense.
ArPharazonV: you don't get to keep the glasses? ;-)
VardaValar1: You can and we did, but they ask you to recycle them in buckets at the door as you leave.
ArPharazonV: aw
VardaValar1: I still have mine.
ArPharazonV: then you can use it to watch it again 6 times!
VardaValar1: The ticket is also high.
ArPharazonV: anyway, saving transcript
ArPharazonV: true
VardaValar1: Okies
VardaValar1: Namarie for now. :-)
ArPharazonV: namarie, have fun in WoW :-)
