[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 339733, member: 1991"] We've had a lot more rain than I realised - we just about filled the rain gauge today, that's almost 100 mm in a single day! There has been even more to the west of us (thankfully, over the dams). There have been landslides in the Blue Mountains, blocked roads and train tracks so people were really stranded. We have to go out tomorrow afternoon, difficult child 1 has a church function on plus it's also his birthday, he's asked us to come along. We'll probably have to leave home earlier than we planned, our road is likely to be blocked with floods, after rain like this. We'll have to make sure we take the camera! This evening at mother in law's we were watching a TV show about how they move buildings from one place to another. Tonight's episode was set in Michigan, I think. Lots of snow. mother in law asked if we would enjoy being in snow like that. Part of me would like to know what it would be like, but I also remember my sister coming home after 4 years in Canadian winters, saying she never wanted to see snow again! easy child was saying much the same, after only a few days in a NZ blizzard. Meanwhile on the TV the announcer was saying, "And the temperatures here were 40 below." I remember someone asking the question, "Is that Celsius or Fahrenheit?" and husband, parodying someone on TV, said, "First one, then t'other." So despite all the hassles, I think I'll put up with the heat and humidity. Marg [/QUOTE]
