It's called a purcolator. You might remember your Mom using one. You put it on a burner on the stove. I keep one on hand for emergencies.

All this global warming induced global cooling....who can even keep track?
Snow in Sacramento tomorrow for the first time in over 30 years.

Old man winter has his grips firmly in Porland as we speak. Sending heat vibes to you in Montana as heat vibes seem to be the only 'green approved' heat source, according to the EPA.

All others are banned.

Pffft.. if you think I put up with winter happily you are gravely mistaken!

I do NOT like cold, I do NOT like dark and I especially REALLY do not like snow! Well that's not strictly true. I like it on Christmas cards. I'm not a complete old crabapple y'know!

I have to be honest though, so far this year it has been pretty mild. I have only had to scrape ice off the car one morning and we're into December. We're two weeks from the longest night of the year, I think that's pretty good going. It's been dreadfully wet though with some real powerful gales too. (Bet we still have a hosepipe ban next summer though!)

Oh and Charlie - just for that you get an extra week of lake effect (now who's laughing?!) Tongue

My truck was frozen covered in ice when I went to leave for work and I am in what normally is a very mild climate in the SF bay area CA. We are not used to this hear and I really feel for those that live in this kind of cold every year. In the 20’s all over the bay area this morning, lots of wrecks due to ice, be careful out there if you have to drive today.
