To members of this Forum who hail from the UK: It seems your dreich weather that you are notorious for has wandered into southern Italy.

It has overstayed its welcome and I would like you to come retrieve it.

Thank you...

Pay my airfare, and I'll pop over.

No guarantees though. :D

When I first saw the title of this thread I thought it meant that you, NauticalGent, were stating that you had had enough of me starting threads in the watercooler.

call me stupid, but what is dreich?

Iowa has some of the worst winters in the USA. Already we've had 3 snowfalls and we just got through the 2nd cold spell of November. 3 days ago we set a record low overnight of 2 degrees.

Quite the ego you have there! Not everything is about you my friend. Besides the WaterCooler is a good sub for FaceBook...

Cold, miserable and usually damp. In other words, normal UK weather.

Don't know about dreich, but Yiddish dreck is rubbish or something worthless that will probably end up on the rubbish heap soon. In debates it can mean "nonsense" or "nonsensical", as in "Your reason for <whatever> is pure dreck."

Any chance the two words are related?

What is it usually like in Naples? Italy is close to the equator, no? I would assume that means that year round ur weather is quite tolerable, like California in the USA. 60s and 70s?

I would've never known Naples even existed on the map if I hadn't watched The Bourne Supremacy.

I have seen some pretty bad weather in Missouri (I was there for 26 years). And I am crazy enough to back to Missouri (just to get out of California).

why? what's so wrong with CA, besides the wildfires, gentrification, adult entertainment industry, no middle class economy and bad political climate? isn't the weather year round out there similar to living near the equator?

Neither is close to the equator, and you've clearly never been to CA. :p

Did you notice the smiley? My point was that the temperature range is more like -10 to 120 depending on when/where you are.

When I stayed in California on holiday, it was In Santa Cruz.
I swapped cars for the friend I was staying with. She was swapping cars with her Mom in Bainbridge Island, WA.
I started off, weather as I it had been all the time I had been staying there. When I got to the first set of mountains, snow coming in sideways. In the valley, lovely and sunny. second set of mountains, more snow.
Low cloud and rain the rest of the way kept the traffic planes grounded. :D

So I woud say you can have all sorts of different weather in CA at the same time.?

Absolutely! There are places where you could play golf in shorts, drive an hour and go snow skiing the same day.
