enjoyed the freedom over the last couple of years but still Wish we could have got away more often
What a lot of fuss about nothing, we have had more white stuff from a hard frost than snow this morning.

Contrary to reports, the Beast has not visited Milton Keynes (probably too many roundabouts!)

Just seen a "Snowflake" drop down past the dinning room window.. :Grin: :dance2: :cold: (y)..
Edit that : Grabbed my camera to take a photo of said Snowflake...
Wernt snowflake.... was a lump of bird $hit... :doh:

Now, that was funnier than this mornings, cough, cough, jokes you offered, VeryOldFella. Score 3.

It’s cold, sunny and bright this morning in St Albans, but no snow, but then, it would not dare. :)

Snow? Oh that stuff that is on the top of the mountains near us here in Southern Spain ... I rang my Mum this afternoon (in Hull, UK) and she said it had been snowing a bit ... we were sitting out in the lovely sunshine here and had a temperature reading of 35 degrees outside ... lovely-jubbly!!!

I warned Yorik, I`ll ask Jim to Coventry:cry: you lot, if you keep rubbing our noses in it!:whistle:

BTW, overnight your mum will have had about the 2" we have!. And currently sill showering, not relly that heavy or that much so far.(y)

Gross over exaggeration by BBC news as usual ! most folk on here have seen worse winters over past 50 years,
Be prepared yes,make sure whatever you are driving is ready for it !
In the 70's I learnt a vital lesson from the old security guard in that when up working at Kishorn (at the foot of the Baelach Na Ba ) trains were getting stuck coming from Inverness too Kyle of Lochalsh, roads were block by 7 foot drifts, he told me to always remember to carry things that you might need but hope to never use.
So into the boot goes,
shovel
large flask
bright waterproof coat
torch
small stove
rope
blanket or sleeping bag (both)
cuppa soup
coffee or tea bags.
when going out of town most is in the boot !
check weather forecast
check roads
Tell someone when you leave and where you are going/ phone and tell when you arrive !
The main reason for vehicle getting stuck is that most cars including 4 x 4 have huge low profile tyres that are no bloody use except on a dry road ! plus most folk do not have a Scooby how to drive in snow conditions.
Rant over and take care everyone.
Me I am going out tow play in my Volvo c/w snow tyres and if required my snow chains !!

Sounds like loading the motorhome,,BUSBY:):)

2 - 3" here just outside Newcastle upon Tyne with occasional light showers - forecast is promising more.

First real snow the dog has seen - he's not very impressed although he did agree to his morning walk. Won't go out into the garden though.

Fortunately do not have to go out anywhere so we'll just sit in the conservatory with a nice cup of hot chocolate (with a liberal dose of Baileys) and enjoy the view!

Take care and keep warm everyone!

Just typical of today's so called journalists... they have absolutely no idea what constitutes real world news rather discuss "gossip" they should be ashamed of themselves.

I got sunshine too,:D even some thawing going on(y). Tonight and early tomorrow are worst predicted.:(. But to be honest, It`s not been anything to write about (so far). Just an excuse for (some) not to turn in for work. Guy on his phone, when I was walking dog. Was telling someone "we are snowed in here" Eh!.:LOL:

Wish I hadn’t opened my big gob! My previous post bemoaned the authorities for warning of a snow armageddon that wasn’t.

They told you that years later.......But it was a taxi really.

Possibly Uncle PPJ, but the story was the guy had a peaked cap and leather gloves. Anyway, my mummy said so, therefore it must be true. :p
