So far not a lot of snow that has stuck. We are due to get some heavy snow tomorrow. I froze my hands riding the bike today, tomorrow it will be my bollocks. ;D
watching Spurs v Rochdale match now, it is snowing heavy in Wembley London.
Now with a thread like this, given the responses I personally have received on my postings, I would be well within my rights to attack it, to demean it, to belittle the very idea of it.......
....but I won't, I'll simply answer politely and hope that maybe, maybe possibly, some day such a courtesy could be shown to me.
It was in the 70's last week, right now it's in the high 50's and there's a bit of drizzle....we'll probably get a week or two of winter weather before it's Springtime.
And although I wonder if you are actually worthy of my kindness, I'm extending it to you regardless.
Go for it. Attack it. Turn into a pissing contest before someone else does lol. I couldn't give a monkies. It's very unusual for down here in the mild south...and the fucking boilers packed up...ha! Nice new radiator in the studio and the boiler dies.
This is the last thing you want. The boiler breaking down. :(
The law of sod mate. I am sure we are not the only ones. Saw a plumber across the road earlier just before it went ;D We have a fire in the living room and a portable electric thingy till it's fixed.Quote:

We have lots of food, firewood, diesel and a full LPG tank. I have 5 crates of beer and the cat has a crate of cat food so it's all good. It's even Chicken Felix in jelly so he will be delighted.
Roaring log burner on, and I am very toasty. All is good, it's just weather.
You'd think we are facing an Apocalypse the way the fucking weathermen are going on and gleefully gloating, while they have their moment of fame.
Funnily enough, tomorrow is the first day of meteorological Spring :confused:
Poppycock. He is INTO it mate, he gets down low, fucking ass to the floorboards, and repairs that shit, solders it, whatever it takes. a Nor 'Easter is headed this way, we'll get 6 inches of rain within a few hours, and 75 kilometer per hour winds, mixed with snow, it will be severe flooding from where Lyle is to where Walrus is, they'll both be fucked by Saturday. @GandalfQuote:

Freezing out there but the snow has not stuck.
Red weather warning Scotland and Devon.
Yes, we are right on the edge of the red weather warning.
My garden thermometer, which also measures wind chill, recorded a low of -16C last night and tonight is supposed to be colder.
We are rural and on high ground, so the forecast is for 'up to' 25 inches of snow and blizzard conditions today.
It is slightly chilly, I must admit :D
Last night, the missus had a wine, I had a few beers and the cat cracked open a chicken Felix in jelly. It was very cosy and companiable.
It's been snowing in Birmingham all week but nothing has stuck, it's fucking cold out there though, wasn't nice waiting for the bus at 6:50am

How dare you insult Liverpool thieves
Do you know why leaves are wet in the morning?
Dew process.
In Montana, just about every region is seeing all time record snow amounts. Wyoming, right next door, has a very mild winter.Quote:

Bozeman has had about ten feet of snow, Helena has doubled their annual average.

Considering how much you pay for council tax it is a joke really, but we all know where the council tax goes. It means 3rd world services when it should be paying for clear paths. I wouldn't want to be a postman or in a car on those days.
No, see, NHS wants people to sprain their ankles on that ice and to have to need medical treatment, its an agenda, its been planned out, this is the same in the US, they want people to get divorces to feed the divorce law industry/child support/alimony industry.
Fucking evil shit.
If you can convert I'm curious to how many inches of snow is enough to keep u stuck in the houseQuote:

Oh no ten inches is a good amount here as well. We get a couple feet (24)inches and more at times but 10 inches keeps me in for everything but work. Miles also has ten inches which keeps me in. Last storm we had 48 inch drifts on my driveway it was brutal, I have a long drive way took me 8hrs to clearQuote:

It is melting now so should be ok for tomorrow
It's odd, we had a nor'easter here which are normally the type of storm that causes blizzards but with the temp staying above 35 degrees Fahrenheit we got six inches of rain in one day. High winds killed 5 people by falling treesQuote:
