xkcd: Record Scratch[^]
The only record layer I still own is an antique portable 78. Now go and look at the mouse over.

I have owned 78 RPM records (bought used at auction), played them a few times before selling at a yard sale.

The civil war was in 1642!
I never knew that 78rpm records had been around for so long!

I must assume they meant the American Civil War which was a lot more recent. Remember, to the USians, only those things that happen in the US actually happened.

I dont know for the rest you but where I live has gone from summer straight into winter. Two weeks ago we were using the pool, and yesterday we had a frost. It seems like its turning cold, and quickly.
The el nino we have had for over a year has also ended and the index has gone negative into la nina teritory: Quicky October 2016 ENSO Update | Watts Up With That?[^] and it cold be a big one, so might be a cold one! )Good for skiing though!  )

Here too, this night 3mm of frost on the car and it caught us all on surprise, the trains were almost all 30 minutes late presumably due to frost forming on the brakes.
I hadn't even prepared my usual alcool spray to defrost the windescreen and I was almost late trying to scrap the tough-as-nails layer of ice. And I had to turn on the heat at home at full Winter regime.

Yes, at less than 130 km South East of nearest French border (Briançon or Modane, they are almost equidistant).

I am the other side, near Avignon, I guess its the same weather we are having.

I thought as much. I visited Avignon and Arles some 14 years ago, beautiful places (and expensive as Hell, especially for italian pockets).

Luxury! What we wouldn't give to have a train service that ran only 30 minutes late!
Southern Rail strike: Talks break down as strike continues - BBC News[^]
Even on the rare occasions when they're not on strike, the staff are pulling sickies as a form of unofficial strike action, so most of the trains are cancelled to avoid having to pay compensation for being too delayed.

Same thing here. Consider that we have to take trains for distance usually covered by the tube in the other countries so we have, in the lucky palces, 1 train per hour on certain time periods then nothing. And trains are often cancelled at the last minute due to every kind of problems... also 30 minutes late on a travel that should take 75 minutes is a freaking lot, but today at least there were reasosn.
There has been weeks in which I ould take the train 2 days out of 5 and usually getting home 1-2 hours late... it rubs after a while. Plus in Spring and Summer all the Fridays there is, totally casually, a strike.

In Black Forest area you get used to winter.

The rowan trees are full of berries, so it's going to be a cold winter.
If you believe that kind of stuff.

Our lemon tree is full of fruit, so I don't care about the winter as I got something for my G&T!

Bah, in our climate we use lemons for hot toddies.

Oh you have seasons!
Be thankful for the variations in your climate, in Singapore the only variation is the amount of water that falls out of the sky.
