I hate to tell you BUT we do have seasons. Winter : rain most of the time (except during Drought ).Spring : rain, sunny days mixed with clouds and weed's. Summer hot no rain weeds drying. Fall. weeds rain hot/cold , never just warm,  leaves burying rail road and weeds till spring. ( not this year had big tree trimmed almost bald.

After living in upstate Mich. Wyo. SD. and Colo. I will take our smog when we get it and leave the snow to You.

 

Dave in sunny, cloudy , rainy, dry, hot, cold Nor Cal. 

PS snow is just two hours away.

The head is gray, hands don't work , back is weak, legs give out, eyes are gone, money go's and my wife still love's Me.

After a couple of winters under several feet of snow in Maine USA,  I moved to Phoenix Arizona USA to solve the "where's my railway" issue. I can report that 115F temps solved the problem. MEC running in the desert? It's a compromise, but one I'll happily live with.

Hi     I'm missing mine its some where under about three feet of snow, have not had a train out since last May owing to the lousy weather. How can we be getting to day light saving and Easter with all the white stuff around and the forecast is for another week of this.  Must think of moving some were sunny this weather is naff.

I'm stuck under the snow in the UKSad
