Sounds like Canada in winter! Strange thing is that it has snowed once in Toronto this year, which melted away fast. Almost tropical!
Thank god for global warming...
-
Josh.
Here too. We have devastatingly cold winters here sometimes. It's the damned wind from Canada in fact. We had just under 2 feet of snow for two days. The first day it reached nearly 80 according to the outside thermo. But the rain really saw it all off in the same time it took it to fall.
All in all its up and down like a yoyo. Even the heating system here is confused. ::)

A friend of mine knows a guy who stables horses near Alyth in Perthshire and he has recorded a low of minus 30c this winter.

Jimmy - I think its time to break out those goggles! And possibly the knife as well!

Snowing like a mofu in Fleet. Up to 5 inches already and scheduled for 10 - 16. I'm guessing the schools are closed tomorrow.
-

-

Wed morning and had to struggle into work, wonderring how on earth I'll get home again; what with another 8" forecast - on top of last night's 8"! And this is SURREY (UK) for God's sake - it's not supposed to do this here!
-
Just don't melt and drink the Yellow Snow yeah. ;)
-
If you were to watch the news on TV today you would think that snow had just been invented but we have had snow sitting here in North East Scotland for the past three weeks and it doesn't look like clearing.
-
not too bad here in west norfolk too icey to cycle to work so have to walk about 40mins go to work in the dark come home in the dark so when i get in a glass of ginger wine and a chicken tikka madras so warms me up.
-
Two Sheds,
Try mixing the ginger wine with whiskey for a whiskey mac, it's delicious and will warm you up even more :)
-
I'm back home and living just inside The Brecon Beacons on the Black Mountain.
It snowed heavily last night and part of today.
The snow began to thaw then the water and slush froze solid.
The ice is lethal! :o
More snow forecasted for tonight.
Also out of curry.

I made good use of my time yesterday. The kids wanted an igloo so they got one. My wife thought I was mad when I'd managed to lay the first layer. Luckily I called in some reinforcements but it still took close to 7 hours to complete! (I'm on the right) We are all going for a curry tomorrow night to congratulate ourselves. Inside is big enough for 4 - 5 adults quite comfortably. We had 2 adults and 6 kids in it yesterday.

Thanks guys, it was hard work but worth it in the end. Apparently it was on BBC Breakfast yesterday morning but I missed it :(
The local paper (Star Courier for those in the area) said they would come out today to take some photos. Our neighbours took some photos (while we were out) and sent them to the Guardian. I'll be gutted if they get in without me getting a mention.
