Yebbut if you were on some Australian mountain range instead it'd probably be on fire.

Snowed all morning here on The Wolds. Just stopped now and seems to be melting a bit. Roads and fields all white over.
I think you'll find it's a bit more complicated than that.

I was hoping for enough to be pretty; got a head-shake's-worth of dandruff instead.
Here in S. Northants there's often very little snow but Warks. and Beds. get a lot.

I thought it had been snowing overnight but, on closer inspection, it's just a bit of frost.
There's no vibrations, but wait.

Hmm, all I see is a blank box. If I tap on it I get a new page from image box with a banner “go to your image”. Clicking in that - well, goes to a page “strip chat”  :o

I think it is just a large image file and low bandwidth. It’s like being on dial up in the 90s.

They have had a metric fuckton of SNO in Spaign-o and all we get a thousand miles closer to the North Pole is, er, nothing.  NOT FAIR!

We've had a metric fuckbushel or two and it's still coming down. Wee hard powdery stuff that crunches when the dogs roll in it (prior to transferring it to my trousers).  Cars are hushed, next-door's midden is covered. On t'other side, Porschey Pig's big roll-away automatic gate is jammed half-open. Some idiot cleared the pavement outside the post office half an hour ago and it's already an inch deep again.

Natch, there's rain forecast for this pm. :(

What's the conversion factor between the metric fuckbushel and the imperial fucklitre?  :D

Just in case we weren't all depressed enough at the moment the 'Beast from the East' might be making a comeback UK tour.

If Beast From The East v2.0 is anything like the ur-Beast From The East was in sunny E17 then it will be a bit colder than it is now and, er, that's it.

Just had a clunk'n'rumble from the roof. We have a defunct TV aerial up there, and with every snowfall of any magnitude a bit breaks off and rolls down into the gutter.  Frightens the odd crow, too.

oh hello numpty. I can hear someone outside trying to drive in the sleet that fell last night and froze solid over night. Normal tyres and 1st gear and pedal to the metal. I don't need to look out to know that they are now going sideways. If they mange to move out onto the street they will have fun with the 25% steepness of it :)

At a company I worked for in Stuttgart, the three top dogs all had BFO RWD Mercs and Beemers.  It was a rare pleasure to watch them trying to negotiate our frozen-over car park while we lowly types all had lowly FWD VWs & Opels.
