[color=#000000ost_uid0]Well, maybe Celsius makes a [iost_uid0]little[/iost_uid0] sense. If it's above zero, you don't always get rain. But the snow melts as soon as it hits the ground.[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Then you get slush.

It's July twelfth and there's no sun at all, right now. That weird, all-over grey-white lighting typical of heavy cloud cover.[/colorost_uid0]

Learned another English word.

It's July twelfth and there's no sun at all, right now. That weird, all-over dark-blackish darkness typical of heavy earth cover.
May be because it's night. [/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Aw yes, good old sleet, or freezing rain as we generally call it round here, you get sleet if its just be low 0c too, only then it freezes to the roads and causes a whole lot of trouble. I will always remember the day the bus got stuck and someone had to give everyone rides home on a snowmobile. Normally this would have been fun but not when you're being pelted in the face with little chunks of ice and water.[/colorost_uid0]

Ever driven over a mountain pass through a cloud with the window open?

Would-be rain is still crystallized.

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Yesterday it was July 12th, not a cloud in the sky, scorching heat (30 degrees or so). Summer in Kelowna.

Today I go back to Vancouver, where it rained.

[quoteost_uid0]English is such a weird language.[/quoteost_uid0]

That's an understatement. It's what you get when you combine German and French, let stand for a millenium and remove any sort of grammatical order.

Another English word I'm fond of is "git," frequently preceded by "stupid" (pron. stchewpid, more or less).[/colorost_uid0]

One word [iost_uid0]I'm[/iost_uid0] fond of is dictionary. At hand-reach. Too bad not all words are in it.

That old English is actually kind of understandable. It sounds a little like Dutch, although I wouldn't understand half of it... But then, I wouldn't understand half of the Dutch of the same time either.[/colorost_uid0]

Well, Dutch is the closest living language to English (closest dead language is Frisian).[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0][quoteost_uid0="Sa'ar Chasm"]Well, Dutch is the closest living language to English (closest dead language is Frisian).[/quoteost_uid0]
from dictionary.com:
[quoteost_uid0]Fri·sian   ( P )  Pronunciation Key  (frzhn, frzhn) also Frie·sian (frzhn)
n.
1. A native or inhabitant of the Frisian Islands or Friesland.
2. The West Germanic language of the Frisians. It is the language most closely related to English.[/quoteost_uid0]
and:
[quoteost_uid0]dead language
n.
A language, such as Latin, that is no longer learned as a native language by a speech community.[/quoteost_uid0]

[imgost_uid0]http://boards1.wizards.com/images/smilies/teach.gif[/imgost_uid0] Friesland is a province of the Netherlands and Frisian is, alongside Dutch, still their native language.
So, according to these definitions, Frisian is not a dead language. Â [/colorost_uid0]
