This picture brought to you courtesy of Alan Belson: Snow arrived today in N. France, 4inches, (or should that be 10cm?), by 5 'o clock local time, more coming apparently. We'll have a good laugh tomorrow and build that snowman, if it doesn't melt overnight. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.electrical-contractor.net/mt/ABSnow.jpg)

It's thawing... tomorrow in the afternoon it's supposed to get real cold. We'll see... if the forecast is good it's usually wrong ![[Linked Image]](https://www.electrical-contractor.net/ubb/wink.gif)

Getting nice warm here in Auckland New Zealand Day 24°C Night 18°C Humidity 70% Talking tape formats. Sony had in the 70's also a format called "Elcassette" which used ¼ inch tape in a cassette and ran at 9.5 cm/sec like the reel to reel machines. The cassette was about the size of a Beta cassette but thinner. I still use reel to reel to copy cd's on for long mixture of music on 26.5 cm reels with autoreverse, I do admit that I like to see the reels turning around. instead of a disc which disappears in a slot, new tapes I get on Ebay for quite good prices. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.electrical-contractor.net/ubb/biggrin.gif)

I once bought a banana crate full of tapes... and they're shot. Torn, repaired (obviously by glueing the tape ends together, the ends not lining up, glue squeezed out everywhere and they tend to tear there again)... and it's close to impossible to listen to the tapes because recordings are a wild mix of rare finds (like Comedian Harmonists) and extreme rubbish all on one tape.
Weather: temps going up and down around freezing point all the time. This morning I slipped on some ice... the sidewalk only looked wet.

Be careful there Ragnar!. I'd hate to read here that you'll be laid up over the festive season because of broken limbs. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.electrical-contractor.net/ubb/frown.gif) That's one thing I hate about winter, everything gets so slippery here, it's a terrible time for elderly folk.

ahh! I wish I was in NZ! Here in Hungary everything is frozen. But I have new shoes and that helps me thru! ![[Linked Image]](https://www.electrical-contractor.net/ubb/smile.gif)

Temperatures are oscillating around freezing all the time. Annoying! Also we had strong winds the last few days, now they died down. A few days ago some scaffolding collapsed and three streets were blocked due to fallen items from storms. Not nice.
Today the ground was slightly frozen again, I'm more careful now though, so I didn't even get close to slipping. For christmas the forecast predicts rain.
Tomorrow is the last day of school before the holidays... at least something to look forward to...
