COLD DARK ROOM

[Tidgy's Dad]

We are having a warmer spell today. That means it has reached 8C today. Not exactly barbecue weather

It's only 13C here, which is cold, predicted to fall to 1°C tonight which will be the coldest it's ever been.
brrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Sounds very interesting ! I want to be your TORTOISE !

Perhaps you are..........................

In the spirit of global weather observations - are the weather prognosticators hyping the SuperMoon for Morocco, Amman, UK, greater Europe?

Tonight here in the US of A, calling for #SuperMoon2017 - best view time is right at sunset. So break away from the telly, from the xmas markets and stalls, and start looking soon!

I might peek out of the window, but I'm not going out in the cold.
Not heard about it here. They're not interested in such things.

I noticed a pretty nice full moon last night as I was making my rounds closing up the the tortoises. I'll have to pay attention tonight.

Not brrrrrrrrrrr here this morning, but a quick rain shower blew across the Va Md area getting everything all wet and nasty. The crumbly leaves of the past fortnight are now soggy n mushy. Impossible to rake. But wait, the sun just popped! The rain is now on it's way to Marrakesh and the Spanish plains. Might load the kayaks now for a few miles on the Bay.

Where do you live in Maryland?

I just noticed that the "Spy" feature is no longer available. I guess no one must have used it because I never saw anyone complain that it was gone. Spy showed everything that was happening online at the moment.

Also, we used to be able to click on "recent profile posts" and see what people had been posting on other members' profiles. I can't find that feature either.

Hello, and welcome to the Cold Dark Room.
It is time for coffee if you'd like one, so pull up an armadillo and take the weight off your legs.
I'll prod a jellyfish to provide illumination and get the Leprechaun One-legged Pirate Substitute to fetch you a biscuit.
And some cheese.

Never even knew about either of these.
Doubt that many people used them much.

I used it if I was on a proper computer. It was awful on my phone and tablet which I am 99% of the time ... not missed by me.

The other feature was perhaps only available to mods? I have never seen or heard of that.

On the website I can use "spy", if that's what it's called. It says how many people are on, what they are doing, whether or not they have an account, etc. This might be a completely different thing, though

No there was a feature called spy that worked like a teleprinter. As someone posted it would throw up a new line

This is a screenshot from another forum which has iSpy - a similar feature.

Ladies and gentleman, lovely roommates, as we are talking about the weather and how cold it is everywhere, what do you think about these pictures ? Actual views of today:







sheeps in the snow .....

 

[Moozillion]

That looks VERY cold!!!
My brother was in the US Army for 22 years, and was stationed in many different countries. He said the COLDEST he ever was, was in Germany!!![emoji33] He said that the fog would FREEZE ONTO THE TREES, which looked very strange...[emoji33] I can’t remember the word for that phenomenon...[emoji51]

Brrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That’s cold! I need to go find Ed’s Florida pics to warm up!

Today’s English lesson

Sheep, like deer, is both a singular and a plural noun.

So it is “one sheep” and “two/several/many/a field full of sheep”

This an exception to the usual rule. For most other things you add and S for the plural...

So “one cow” and “many/several/two/a field full of cows”

It is not as cold as it looks, 30, 5 F or -0,8 C.
When the fog freezes to trees it looks lovely !!! Like that :

Oh no ! I am a sheep ( because I wrote it false ) and I own two sheep ..... and the next spring it could be that I own more than two sheep.
