Poleni Kwa Baridi Huko London!

Kaka Freddy Macha huko London, Uingereza ameleta taarifa hii.
BARIDI KALI LEO LONDON

by Kitoto

Wamesema mara ya mwisho baridi kali namna hii kutokea visiwa vya Uingereza ilikuwa miaka 30 iliyopita.

Leo kila mtu nliyekutana naye jijini: mzee, mtoto, mwanaume, mwanamke, alilalama na kulaani baridi.

Hata "maglovu" nliyovaa mkononi hayasaidii. Ngumi haikunjiki sawasawa. Miti kule nyuma imepukutika matawi- zimebaki tu kuni kavu. Ndevu zangu zimenyaushwa. Upepo wa kutoboa kisindano sindano ulikuwa ukisaidia baridi kuwa kali zaidi.

Aliyewazidi wote kwa malalamishi alikua ajuza mmoja mzawa wa visiwa vya Karibian. Alihamia hapa miaka 55 iliyopita.

"Nlikuja kusoma na kutafuta ajira. Sipendi na siizoei baridi hata kidogo."

Nkamuuliza kama haipendi baridi kwanini harudi tu kwao kwenye ujoto joto?

Basi linapitisha abiria waliojikunyata ndani.

Ajuza akajibu keshapazoea; lakini asichokiweza baridi.

Rudi basi kwenu.

Ajuza akacheka.

"Baridi kama hii ya leo sijapata kuona." Nilikisia umri wake ushapita miaka 70 na kitu.

Tulikua katika foleni posta. Foleni ndefu kidogo.Foleni za Ulaya, hizo; kila mtu kimya; nje baridi kali.

"Nkishaondoka hapa nakwenda kulala," akatangaza.

Kweli nje palikua kiama.

Kawaida hii sehemu ya kuchezea watoto katika mtaa ninaoishi -huwa imejazana vijana wakicheza kila aina ya utoto, lakini leo palikuwa patupu kama jangwa la Sahara.

Kawaida barafu inapodondoka baridi hupungua, watoto wanacheza; lakini ya leo ilikua na matone machache tu ya barafu. Imeongozana na upepo mkali - wanasema toka Siberia.

Groundhog Atabiri Spring Itakuja Mapema

Punxsutawney Phil hakuona kivuli chake. Hivyo winter intaisha mapema! Haya mateso ya kupigwa na storm klila wiki yataisha. Asante Phil! Sasa wacha nitoke nijaribu ku-shovel snow na barafu kwenye njia ya wapita njia! Snowpocolypse itaisha!

******************************************************

Phil's official forecast as read February 2nd, 2011, at sunrise at Gobbler's Knob in Punxsutawney, PA:

Here Ye, Hear Ye, Hear Ye

Groundhog Day, February 2, 2011

Punxsutawney Phil was raised from his burrow
By the call of President Bill Deeley.
He greeted his handlers, Ben Hughes and John Griffiths.

After casting an inquisitive eye towards thousands of his faithful followers,
He proclaimed that the Steelers are going to the Super Bowl!

Back to the business at hand...
He surveyed his surroundings carefully and found that there was no shadow around,
So, an early spring it will be.

Mwokozi Wetu Tunaopambana na Snow?

(pichani Mnyama aina ya Groundhog)

Kesho macho ya wanaoishi maeneo ya baridi Marekani yako kwa huyo mnyama

aina ya groundhog. Hasa groundhog ambaye anaitwa Punxatawney Phil na anakaa Pennsylvania.

Watu wanaamini kuwa Phil asipoona kivuli chake basi tutaendelea kupigwa na snow na barafu. Kama akiiona basi ina maana haya mateso yataisha. Kwa vile mwaka huu tumekuwa na winter mbaya sana watu hawatalala leo usiku wakingojea kusikia Phil atasemaje!

Phil, Please don't see your shadow!

Hii Winter ni Mbaya Mno!

Wadau, sijui huko ulipo lakini hapa Boston tunapigwa na theluji (snow) si kawaida. Sasa hatuna pa kuiweka. Wanasema kuwa snow ya mwaka huu itaingia katika vitabu vya historia. Sasa watu wanatania na kusema kuwa hali ikiendelea kama ilivyo sasa itakuwa kama wale wanaodesha magari yao pichani! Kama snow ingekuwa inayeyuka kabla ya nyingine kuanguka hali isingekuwa mbaya. Lakini sasa kuna milima ya snow kila mahala!
