We care for our livestock

 

Aye it has been a bit nippy the last few days, should have got those out to all the sheep stuck in the snow

 

75mm of fresh snow overnight here

 

Holly molly..........it's prettier than my sweater.......

 

You should see the size of the women that knit these beauties

 

Always did like the ladies that were broad in the beam and tight in the sail!

 

Captain Jack Sparrow perchance

 

Nah, just like the feel of a good full bunt sail in my hands....

 

Never seen snow measured in mm before (cm or m, inches or feet when I'm in the US, but never mm). Is that a lot of snow for you guys? I'm guessing so since you are measuring it in mm.

Cheers, Al

 

He must be younger than me coz we measure snow in inches And there is still a month to go before we see the last of the snow in Scotland, I remember we had snow on the 1st of May some years back

 

Not a lot of snow Al,
In my line of work all measuring is in mm although I admit I can revert to imperial at the drop of a hat.

 

If you you see a kilted Scotsman walking on tip toes you know the snow is deep

 

Well Canada is of course officially metric, but since I worked as a project engineer for a US based company for 23 years, pretty much all the work I did there was in inches. The only exceptions were when we had drawings from one of our plants overseas - from France for example - not only metric but first angle orthorgraphic projection - felt like I had to stand on my head to read a drawing...

Of course in watchmaking is mostly metric, with a few "lignes" thrown in there to confuse people, as well as odd American things like Dennison mainspring sizes.

Anyway all the snow here is gone again, but they are saying more on Monday maybe.

Looking forward to some warmer weather, and having lunch on the back deck again.

Cheers, Al
