It rained! All I had to do was go to Quito for the day, and when I got back tonight my garden was soaked. Thank goodness!

You want a giggle, Ante? It's cold here today, only 10 C. The rain just keeps 'a comin'. I'm not sure what is more unsettling, though - the fact that it's raining, or the fact that what I'm listening to right now are the sounds of internal fluid movement in the volcano.

It's about 25 km away. However, Ambato is situated such that if Tungurahua goes active again, we get a neat light and sound show, light ash rains, and not much else. I'm more concerned for my friends in the town of Baños, which is right on the North Flank and has a history of being partially obliterated by lahars (pyroclastic mudslides).
It was cloudy last night, which is unfortunate or I'd have pictures of lava fountains to share with you. I'm tenacious, though - it will be clear one of these nights. The bramido (rumbling) was loud enough to rattle my windows last night. |

Jack, it's Canadian English, influenced by the fact that both of my schoolteacher grandmothers were Scottish, and that I have a taste for classical literature and putting on accents.
The volcano has, thankfully, stopped rumbling (at least last night) and it's cleared off, so hi-ho-slivers away to 38 C today! |

Thanks Elisabeth ,but i do'nt worry about the palms snow can protect from the cold...It seemed you used a google translation so the right one is:je souhaite que vos palmiers survivent ( i think that we all have the same difficulties for translating)
Ante ,rain is announced for tomorrow and the warming for all parts of France is announced for the end of the week the vulture are flying above the house searching for a hypothetical food An the donkey in th snow was given some hay |

Some bad weather you've been having. We have the same temperatures at the moment, but there's certain lack of snow in my region.
![]() Lucky me. It's cool and I went outside in just a T-shirt. It started being chilly only after being 45 minutes among my Ensenia foetida. Literally. ![]() Beware, when the snow melts down and the water is absorbed by the soil and frosts come again, palms might come through a shock and that could be the last hit for them. What were the min. temps at your place in last... say 2 months? How did Jubaeas take it? I guess no protection was used on those high specimens, right?
