ChasingBlueSky 0 #8 November 18, 2004 QuotePalm Trees? Are you sure you were in Ireland? Yup, Ireland has them. I was suprised on my second day in the north of Dublin to see a few of them, then when I visited my family in Mayo there was quite a few over there as well._________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

SpeedRacer 1 #9 November 18, 2004 Yeah, and I hear Maple trees won't grow there, because they need a cold dormant period, which Ireland doesn't have. That's why I don't understand why Gia says its so damn cold. Hell, North Carolina would get colder than frickin' Ireland (in the winter).

bob.dino 1 #12 November 18, 2004 Ireland never gets particularly cold. It's rare to have a day where the temperature stays below freezing, though in winter the nights regularly drop to -2 or -3 celcius. Average in January is probably about 5 degrees. The flip side is that in summer it never gets all that warm. The July average is only 15-16 degrees. A very pleasant, changable climate that's absolutely fucking shit for skydiving .

GiaKrembs 0 #13 November 19, 2004 Hey I'll admit, I'm a wussy girl when it comes to cold weather..... I sit and freeze on a daily basis in my office. Just today we had to tape the vents in my office cuz I am tired of having to wear ten layers of clothes between going outdoors and indoors. Sort of ironic, considering I grew up in Utah and used to love the winters. I would pray for white Christmas's... I'd prefer to go play in the snow rather than open my presents on Chrsitmas mornings. I'm sure if I ever did move to a colder climate I'd acclimate..... till then I love my temped So. Cali!!! ciao for now, g Raddest ho this side of Jersey #1 - rest in peace brother Beth lost her cherry and I missed it .... you want access to it, but you don't want to break it.

nacmacfeegle 0 #15 November 19, 2004 "Palm Trees? Are you sure you were in Ireland?" Yep, Scotland has them as well, despite being on the same lattitude as Moscow. That fine export from North America, the Gulf Stream, provides local heating, which, when supplemented by the Fohn effect makes isolated areas quite balmy. Specifically Inverewe, Arran, and Plockton, probably more but I've seen palms in those places whilst on my travels around my homeland. TV buffs, Plockton is where they filmed the series Hamish Macbeth Plockton palms here... http://www.intermac.co.uk/homepage/photographs/places/scotland/plocktonpalms.htm Mind you, 2 cm of snow this morning, brrrrr.-------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.
