Anyone here from Prague?

Nigel Goodwin · Jan 29, 2009

My daughter and her friend are off to Prague for a weekend in a few weeks, anyone here from that part of the world?.

What's it like there this time of year?.

Hero999 · Jan 29, 2009

I've never been there but it's supposed to be a good place to go but it'll probably be cold over there now.

I would think so, but it's hard to tell from the webcams there

At least it doesn't look to be covered in snow.

Like we will probably be by next week.

How high up do you live?.

I'm about 900 feet above sea level

Have you checked the weather forecast?

I'm in one of the lowest areas of the country. The forecast says it's going to snow next week (both near you and me) but the east of England is going to be worst hit.

Met Office: Bedford: forecast weather
Met Office: Derby: forecast weather

Snow? Is each snowflake really not the same. Typical day here.

Hi Nigel,

petrv is from Prague. Interpreting correctly the weather there is not the
friendliest at this time.

He's living in Israel.

Did he go there to get warm?

You all should visit here. I could show you all the good spots. In turn I would like to visit your side of the world

Here are some pictures of the UK.

From one extreme of the country to another:

Cairngorms, Scotland - looks more like Iceland than Great Britten!

Tresco Abbey Gardens, Scilly - looks more like Italy than Great Britten!

Some images from Bedford, the nearest town to where I live:

St Paul's church

A War Memorial

The River Great Ouse - not as great as the name suggests.

I always end up the wrong side of the river when I visit Bedford

You're not too far away from me and Thunderchild then Hero999 - we're only up the road (well the A509) from you

My little brother lives at Biddenham, on the edge of the golf course.

Nice pictures, but it depends what you mean by "extreme of the country". If you mean weather extreames, then you are probably spot on.
However if you mean physical extremities, you can go a long way north from Cairngorm and still be in the UK. 100miles on the UK mainland will get you to John o'Goats, then another 150 miles or so in a boat or plane will get you to Unst the most northerly of the Shetland Islands.
Here can be found the most northerly post office in the UK.
Baltasound Post Office - most northerly in Britain:: OS grid HP6208 :: Geograph British Isles - photograph every grid square!
(A good quiz question!)

We don't seem to have anyone from Prague here

My daughter went to order some Crowns to take to Prague with her, and the lady at the Post Office said "going to Prague are you?". The lady at the Post Office went about this time last year, she says that most outdoor cafes have heating, so it's quite pleasant at this time of the year. She also advised eating in the old quarter, where prices are a lot lower.

Isreal is not the best bet to get warm unless you stay close to the impact point of a rocket made in Iran.

Thailand is less dangerous and has three seasons: the hot season, the very hot season and the f... hot season. Right now the thermometer reaches +35 deg/C at noon climbing steadily from day to day and reaching 45 to 50 deg/C in April.

Well it snowed here on Monday and there's more to come.

Flights have been delayed, many schools have closed and the buses aren't running in London.

Nigel Goodwin · Feb 21, 2009

Just to keep you informed, my daughter flew to Prague last night

Had an email from her today, taxi took them to the wrong hotel - they eventually walked to the correct one (half an hour), to be told it had been misbooked - so they had to walk to a third hotel.

It's been snowing, but they actually have grit there, and clear both the roads and the pavements.

Interestingly she emailed from a combined "Internet Cafe/Chinese Resturant" - right up her street, she likes Chinese

Anyone here from Prague?
