we had snow today , well we actually had it the start of last month but it didnt lay so doesnt count  :P

Well you keep it we don't want it. ;D

Got plenty here  :P

Already? Sheesh, it's only November, (even though the media would have you believe it's already Christmas).
It's a sign of impending middle age when your first thought when you hear it's snowing ain't "Let's go play", but "Bugger, how am I gonna get to work?"

                              SLEDGE   ;D ;D ;D ;D :P

Funny when people say 'snow here' but I haven't got a clue where 'here' is!   ;D

No snow here!    :P

sorry BG Aberdeen and the shires . weve had more today think weve had about 2" ........ isnt it funny how even though we are metricated that there are things still measured in inches now matter what the generation ,,,,  " weve had 2" of snow "    or   " ive got a 6" nail ( bet i know what you lot were thinking i was going with that )

   "back on the subject of weather, 37C today"


      working on our front window today, by strange coincidence it was also 37 degrees , unfortunately it was Fahrenheit , remember , minus 32 divide by  nine multiply by five , thank you Dad , anyway , equals , bastard cold.





 2.7 for those that can't be arsed , and yes I had waited until the sun came round

mid 20's for the next few, rained this morning dso no "view" on the beach

Now look what you've done, all this talk of hot climates and its snowing like hell here. Meant to be going to Brocks in the morning to work on the new car, I'm going to have to have a lay in and see what the roads are like when I get up >:(

Tony it's raining now.

We've had heavy snow here in Surrey every night this week. About 6 inches now. I have a 30 or 40 mile commute to work at 5.30 every morning. My workmates were suprised I made it in yesterday. I'm a Postie in Basingstoke, Hampshire. We were told to stay in the sorting office, sorting the mail until lunchtime, then sent out to deliver the large parcels & as much of our deliveries as we could, (about a quarter of the normal round). We simply couldn't drive up a lot of the roads because of the ice.
Today was my day off & I'd planned to go back to Basingstoke to work on my truck project as usual, but Taz's stable girls couldn't get into work, so I spent my day shovelling horse poo & breaking the ice on water troughs out in the fields with a pick-axe. The joys of country life.

My neice put some photos up on her facebook of the snow down in Eastbourne, even though it snowed here everyday they have had lots more than we have (Until now that is) about time you lot had it, we nearly always seem to have the most.

its now raining here in swindon and thank feck for that as we,re moving the large furniture to the new house tomorrow and those of you that have been here at the flat will tell ya the state of the staircase leading up :o

Raining here too, never been so pleased to see it rain!

rained here and the roads are now frozen, they are trying to get a builders lorry up the hill at the moment, if they get that up I sould be able to get down :)

Well, did you go.

   yes he did , and thought to bring festive pastys too , very nice.

Just got back, just about got down to the sqare and from then on it was good.
Got lots of work done and I will update early in the week.

The other night after a wedding took 3 hrs to get 20 miles , the taxi driver couldn't drive in snow to save his life and we were mainly stuck outside a police station ,  there was a copper who was trying to help others ( BMW's) to keep the road clear and after attempt no 3 i asked if he would charge me if i got in and drove up the hill and he said yes with a smirk on his face , after attempt no 7 he was asking if i thought i really could get it up the hill . just at that point a 4 x 4 driver gave us a tow but it didn't end there, we ended up needing 5 tows in total and then he tried to charge me £52 for the pleasure , i passed him a £20 and walk the rest , about 1 mile in me kilt , i was a bit cold .
the next day we set off for Edinburgh and normally its about 2.5 hrs there but after 8 we were just 5 miles shy of Dundee and that 90 miles down the road , we never got to Edinburgh as all the roads got closed so we headed home , 12 hrs total time , mind you we got to sit in a snow Storm that had thunder and lightning.

here's the wife's car after the first 2 days, 1 and a half feet  . the temps was -18 the other night and we are set for more snow yet , just as well i don't mind it

Minus eighteen?!

Been cold here, but not that cold, the second car I tested today had the outside temp on the dash, at 10 it was only still -6, did not seem to warm up all day (The garage dont get any sun in the winter.)

i must point out that its not always that cold here the norm just now is about - 5 and rising to 0 during the day , we havent had snow today but it aint shifting. trying to get into my garage to make my front muguard and finish the tank as the artist ( painter ) want them for the start of January , but im running out of time due i cant open the garage door cause of all the bloody snow

I'm really disappointed with the snow in Hatfield, rubbish. Blame the smackheads, their snorting it up faster than it can settle >:( ;D
