Snow!

Either of those themes. That is what I mean by dark mode. My favourite is shades of blue. Saves my eyes from the glare and the santa's hat looks good with it!

Okay

New Orleans also has a similar problem. Temperatures in the 80s (F) and mild winds. If it weren't for having ravaged the lawn when Hurricane Ida took down the neighbor's tree that ended up in our yard, we would be cutting grass right now, too. But the wife won't let me do the lawn. We have it done every couple of weeks.

I can't bring myself to do that just yet!

Lived my early childhood in New Orleans. Snowed twice in 10 years. Otherwise, usually had the air conditioner running even through winter.

 

[The_Doc_Man]

Our average, long-term, is once every seven years. We are in mid-cycle.

<<looks at thermostat on wall>>

Yep, A/C is definitely running on Christmas day. Outside air temp is about 80 degr F right now.

It's cold and damp here in the UK.
I'm self-isolating (due to covid) in the study at home away from the rest of the family, hence online when I should be watching rubbish tv with them.

Still, I've played some chess, some hearts, and some cribbage online which was interesting. I've proved my chess is very average, but I'm pretty good/lucky at hearts

Hope you recover well. I'm playing chess too.

What's a good chess site?

 

[Jon]

lichess is a good start. Completely free! Chess.com have free options, although some are paid. Still, its another good choice.

Then again, it depends if you are looking for a game or to just learn.

that has to be global warming.

that has to be global warming.

No, that's Louisiana 60 years ago. Hot is normal, cold is rare.

And I think the correct term now is "climate change".

My chess playing is a lot like my coding. I know the names of the pieces, how they move and the object of the game. However, I lack imagination and vision and have to rely on the work of others to produce anything of value.

And I am ok with that!

This is my first december been active on AWF, and i have enjoyed my time here expecially the snow, since i have not witnessed any(because of the region i am in)

Can the forum have more of such backgound to depict not only weathers, but other happenings in the world per time, e.g a major sport tournament,etc.
