    Wala ba noypi kapitbahay nagsabi sayo = pwede ba pakyawan. hahahhahah!!!

    In my experience though, snow means the temperature rises up a bit to allow precipitation. It's when the precipitation stops and the sky clears up, then the temperature drops. Wala ng moisture and puro na lang lamig!

    Our house in the NJ suburbs had a heating coil running through the leading edge of the roof shingles, para di mag icicle dun sa alulod & edge of the roof.

    I don't mind the cold but what I don't like is the shoveling part. Sometimes, I have to clear a path for my vehicle when it is covered in snow.

    A Pinoy family friend who works for a construction company makes money on snowy days. He bought an old snow blower machine from his company for a dime and he brought it home to clear sidewalks of his neighbors. They were happy to give him $50 for each house he clears of snow. On summer, he cleans their gardens for the same amount.

    Naku, buti na lang di ko nakasabayan yan back in my day. I'd never be able to compete with that.
    Kahit sa lawn mowing racket ko in Summer, talo pa rin.

    It would be like a small Mom & Pop store vs. a new Wallmart in town. Death knell na yun.

    Kita nyo sinasabi ko dati na wag katakutan ang ulan kasi tubig is life.

    Eh ngayon hindi pa tunay na el nino eh malapit na sa below critical level.

    But na lang hindi pa apektado kung saan ako work and nakatira. Nasa tunay na quezon city kaya ako. Malakas pa pressure dito. No water tank needed here.

    Mag-isip isip na bawat city sa metro manila sa zoning ng condominiums high rises. Yan ang malakas mang-ubos ng tubig. Believe me pag nagka disaster yan ang mahihirapan. Isang floor ilan nakatira jan tapos ilan ifflush na toilet bowl. Paano kung wala flush ilan days eh sakit aabutin.

    No more condominium please. No more small-lot cheapipay townhouse.

    A bahay eh dapat malaki lote. Minimum 300 sqm lot area.

    El Nino to blame for Manila Water woes? Data doesn't support it

    sa mga ganitong scenario, thankful aka kasi mga cars ko wala gano borloloy and plastic trims , at least madali linisin and the wash can last 2 weeks kung walang ulan

    and also ever since 2016, nag minimalist na talaga kami ng wife ko sa gamit sa pambahay, as well as clothes, pinipili talaga namin mga tela na madali laban

    can't help but remember that fb post Dati nun nagkarun ng drought, yun farmer ang nasa dinner nila mga agricultural products, tapas yun mayaman ang nasa dinner table nila puro Pera nasa plato

    these are signs of times indeed. if really there is an El Nino pero Baka nga kasi nagkarun na ng pole shift eh, the magnetic north is now in Siberia not in Hudson Bay sa US
