Northern Europe last night. [modified]

Your geography is screwed to hell. We are only 40 minutes or so south from Holland, alongside germany, (and to the north of a lot of it), and directly to the east of Belgium.

Driving home last night was awful, there were so many bins and things blown into the road I felt like Alberto Tomba on the Giant Slalom!

So, where is Sweden (where I live) situated? Northenerest Europe maybe? I'm just curious...

If its only curiosity, and not a spoil for an argument... :) Sweeden is northern Europe too. Given that Europe extends fomr the arctic circle to Africa it is not erroneous to desribe Luxembourg as being in Northern Europe. One could actually use the Ollive tr line as a border, since it does distinguish the climate nicely, in which case almost all of France is alos in Northern Europe.

There was a hell of a wind here in Luxembourg, must have been near 60 mph at times. Aparently the UK had it bad too: Wind speeds in some parts topped 90mph, with widespread storm-force blasts making it too dangerous for planes to land at one airport, felling trees and power cables and causing bridge closures. [^] Anyone else experience it too? --edit-- Aparently the wind here got to 90kmh and ther depression covered a lot of EuropeComme une partie du nord de l'Europe, le Luxembourg se trouve sous l'emprise d'une vaste dépression qui devrait faire ressentir ses effets des côtes bretonnes aux rivages de la Mer Baltique, balayant au passage l'ensemble de la Grande-région[^]

If Luxembourg is in southern Europe then Sicilly must be in the southern hemisphere! :laugh:

I used to work down there. Our offices were the 5th floor at Galerie Kons.

Just a note, it wasn't me that downvoted you... But I'll counter it. Have you got an idea of how close Svalbard (yes it's part of europe) is to the north pole? That's Northern Europe, along with Scandinavia... ;) Edit: If I give you a 5 it just says "Voting..." in green and nothing happens? Will try IE instead... Edit2: Worked with IE8 bit not FF? Anyway, resolved now...

Yes, its way up in the arctic circle I suppose. Oh, and the one votes are for an entirely different reason! ;)

Yeah, I'd say it is even a bit..uhmm..scary. As I work next to Dublin airport, there is plenty of room for the wind to pick its' pace so you could hear a high pitch noise (like whistling), definitely not the best addition to all the other noise around here. P.S. melchizidech now you have a proof that the building you're in is high-wind-proof and building contractors weren't saving on a quality glass :)
Trust is a weakness.

Around here we call that a "blustery day." The wind blows about 10 to 30 mph all winter, but during a storm we are particularly susceptible to 'microbursts' in the 70 to 140 mph range. What that does to power poles and mobile homes is rather exciting.:~
