Re: February PUG Countdown
Yes - been pretty hot here over the past few weeks. In western Sydney there have been many days of 40C (104F) and higher. 39C predicted for the next three days, then we might see it cool down to the mid 20s to mid 30s for a while. Strangely, though, my PUG entry for Feb will be from the USA Cheers Brian ++ Brian Walters Western Sydney Australia http://lyons-ryan.org/southernlight/ https://500px.com/supera1000/galleries > On 29 January 2019 at 09:13 Igor PDML-StR wrote: > > > > Hey, Brian, > > You guys, who are south of the equator might have plenty of heat. > There is not as much of that for the "Northerners" at this part of the > year. :-) > > > A large part of the US has been slammed with cold weather, and as far I > can tell, a large part of Europe, especially Central and Eastern are > having close-to-record-low temperatures. > > So-called "Epiphany frosts" (with Epiphany being on January 19 in > some parts of Eastern Europe where Orthodox Christian church is present) > are often considered the strongest in Eastern Europe. > > I don't know about cormorants, but elephants in Britain are frozen: > https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/picturegalleries/uknews/9059319/Britain-shivers-as-cold-snap-brings-snow-and-winter-weather.html > And some Brits freeze their butts off with dolphins: > https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/picturegalleries/uknews/9059319/Britain-shivers-as-cold-snap-brings-snow-and-winter-weather.html?image=3 > > > Cheers, > > Igor > > > > > > Brian W Fri, 25 Jan 2019 13:31:40 -0800 wrote: > > G'day all > > A slow (as in moribund) start to this one: > > > Theme: "Heat". > > Submit here: http://pug.komkon.org/submit/ > > Submission Guidelines here: http://pug.komkon.org/general/autosubmit.html > > Cheers > Brian > > -- > PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List > PDML@pdml.net > http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net > to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow > the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
Re: February PUG Countdown
I haven't been doing a lot of shooting lately for various reasons, and I'm going to have to go way back in my archives to find anything that conveys a feeling of, or, allusion to heat.

Re: February PUG Countdown
We are indeed in the deep freeze here in SE Wisconsin. Tuesday and Wednesday nights the temp is forecast to drop to -25F (-32C) with the wind chill about -50F (-46C). The high temp on Wednesday will be around -14F (-26C). The last time we had temps this low was almost 40 years ago. And...overnight we had about 10 inches of snow on top of the previous 7 inches.
