What passes for winter storms seems to be everywhere, the insult value somewhat greater where it has followed unusually pleasant autumn weather. Have watched unenviously reports of heavy snowfalls, cancellations, closed roads and major - sometimes fatal - accidents in various parts of northwest Ontario. Quite content to be here enjoying Cypriot version of winter.
The Meteorology Department had issued a strong rainfall warning, with heavy showers expected to hit the region starting December 3. Residents urged to take precautions against potential risks, including floods, hail, and stormy winds. Well, why not cover all bases? Forgot to mention earthquakes, although one does occur off the coast of Türkiye near Alanya late this morning. Measuring 4.9 on the Richter scale and felt in Nicosia although not around here. Grateful that the heavy rain and stormy winds held off - just - until we got home last night. Storms all night, though and much of today. Good day for staying in cosily with books and tea.
And discover this morning that the storm has removed one of the electrocuted bats from the wires.
