I want some more snow. We had a fair bit around this area on 18 Dec but nothing worth talking about since. I was asked to do a night shift that night which I agreed to and had to go around through the villages to get there as the A34 was dead slow and stop. It would have taken me about 90 minutes to have gone A34 which is only 8 miles but I made the 18 miles round the villages on untreated roads in 45. Got to work and checked the roster to find the guy who blew out on account of not being able to get there lives 2 minutes walk from me.

Colder than a witch’s t**** out there, and apparently snowed in Penicuik while I was down in the Borders.

Great.

I’m sure you will all be pleased to know that so far this winter Britiain has had more snow than Toronto. Doesn’t that cheer you up no end?

Last night:

-24C (-12F)

And that’s on top of the 9″of snow on Tuesday/Wednesday.

Yes, it’s cold!
So cold I see deer tracks coming up to the house trying to find something to eat where there is less snow near the house.

Hate to think what chaos this deluge would inflict on the UK…

15″ of snow here from Christmas afternoon through to Boxing Day night. Kids are having great fun but it’s a pain looking after the farm . . . .

Never seen the pavements as icy as they were today,just like walking on glass.
Mr. B says it’s going to go up to 9C next week,I can’t wait.

I didn’t get stuck on Mouse Hill unlike the muppets I passed later,

I remember Mouse Hill being bad in winter, especially when I was a paper boy in Pelsall (1960s) – treacherous on two wheels. Haven’t tried it in winter conditions since, even on four wheels.

I thought it was starting again earlier as I was fuelling the car up, but it must have just been the tiniest of flurries.

Fingers crossed, anyway! :rolleyes:

20 miles north has had 2 or 3″ of the stuff and 18 miles to the south +4″ – here, nothing other than a light dusting not sufficient to coat a mincemeat pie!…

More sodding snow came down a few hours earlier while I was out in it, making the road a little more treacherous than it already was…. :rolleyes:

Cat doesn’t look too impressed………..;)

Nor is the other one (black one barely visible there) it jumped up on to the white surface which it thought was solid and promptly disappeared in 2ft of snow, it hasn’t been out since!

Actually the icicles thing is getting a bit serious now, a chap in Caerphilly, 4 mies away, has suffered life threatening injuries from a gutter that collapsed under the weight of the ice.
