Normally, I like a "real" winter also, it always makes Spring so much sweeter...but this is a bit too much!! Only by overcoming difficulties you can feel human and appreciate life! Very practical, indeed. 
The next big boom in Cape style houses came in the 1950s and early 1960s during a building boom that resulted in street after Cape lined street in new neighborhoods. This was the last period when solid, quality building materials were a matter of course even in starter homes – plaster walls, hardwood floors, and fully tiled baths. The cape at right was built in Arlington in 1957.Yup, that's my house! Except we have an attached three-season room (we call it a porch) on the right end of our house. In the front, we have three windows together (no spaces between) to the right of the front door, and two windows together to the left of the front door. On the left side of our house, on the first floor, where this house has three windows, we have two, and upstairs, we have the two windows like this one, but the windows are next to each other with no space between them. I love my house! It's both cozy and practical! |

I braved the cold to make this video for you today. As you can clearly see we are petrified by the cold and hope to survive until spring. God help us all... I can see you cannot live a week without a contact with animals. ;D ;D ;D ;D |

I understand them better than most people  (The preceeding statement has two possible interpretations, both are correct.) I am more at home in the woods and fields than I have ever been in an urban area. It's a pure reality with absolutes and no social pretense. Just me, my loved ones, my creator, and the fullness of creation. |

Yesterday it was warm and sunny. Today it is chilly and rainy, contrary to forecast. It even hailed in southern Poland.  Central Poland - floodings    |

On the Easter the weather was awful and when the celebration end the weather was sunny and really good. I regret that in Dyngus Day it was raining.

Winter is so mild that pickers returned to forests to look for mushrooms which normally appear in summer/autumn. Unbelievable.  wiadomosci.wp.pl/title,Przyroda-i-pogoda-oszalaly-Grzyby-w-styczniu,wid,14137058,wiadomosc.html?ticaid=1db42 |

Except for a rogue snow storm at the tail end of October which toppled many trees still laden with leaves, we have had no snow. Temperatures are well above normal with only a few days' exceptions. I'm okay with it, seeing as how we were buried and frozen to death this time last year! |

The weather is hot and moist. Yesterday there was a clear blue sky and hot weather in the Dutch perspective, 28 degrees celcius. Today it was hot to, but humid with clouds and thunder and lightning. It will stay a hot and summer like week.

The winter in the northeastern U.S. has been FRIGID so far! We have had many days of extreme cold. Today we have a small reprieve, but I'm sure the cold will be back.
I have mentioned before that I watch a webcam of a stork's nest in Tomaszow Boleslawiecki in Poland, and the camera is on all winter even though the storks are not there, but are in Africa. This winter I have noticed that they have had no snow to speak of at all!! Has this been the case throughout Poland this winter?? Very strange...

Once again, it is snowing here in the northeast U.S. Schools are closed and I am home for the day!
I'm still wondering about the winter in Poland...has it been for the most part a snow-free winter? Or have areas had the usual amounts? Are there any Poles out there who would like to update the weather situation in Poland?
I'm looking forward to spring and to the return of the Polish storks!

Jeanne,
The Netherlands is a geographically low-lying country with a sea climate. About 20% of its area and 21% of its population located below sea level, and 50% of its land lying less than one metre above sea level. We have often soft, chilly, rainy winters with a lot of clouds and some sunshine inbetween the rains and grey watery days.
Today we have a typical grey, watercold winterday. Arnhem (the Netherlands) Friday Afternoon: Temperature: 7°C (= 45°F)
A mix of cloud and sun. Windy at times.
Arnhem (the Netherlands) Friday Evening Temperature: 4°C (39.2 °Ft)
Cloudy with showers likely. 2 to 5 mm of rain. Wind 30 to 50 km/h.
Mostly Cloudy
Temperature: 7°C (= 45°F) Dew Point: 2°C (= 35.6°F)
Barometer: 100 kPa Wind: SE 22 km/h (13mi 1179.5yd)
Humidity: 70.5 % Visibility: n/a
P.S.- And when the winter comes we can have cold winters occasionally too.

Hi Pjotr,
Your daytime temperature of 7C/45F sounds pretty good to me right now. Our average temperatures have been in the single digits/teens F for quite awhile!
Our snow cover is quite thick, over a foot, so things really cool off over night, too, often being below 0F when I head off to work in the mornings!
'Can't wait for spring!
