I forgot to post last night.
It was nice crispy frost with a little dusting of snow coming down and no wind, lovely winter weather. More please.
Woolly, you should have been here all winter not galavanting round the Kiwi summer. Most of us are getting fed up to the eye teeth of the cold, damp and snow because we want to be back out on our bikes.
I haven't had winter since '92 and as for winter I mean snow for 4-6 weeks or more, crisp snow around 2-3 feet high, months of under -10c. I have only had two white xmases since 1981, there was a weak attempt at a white one in 2011 and the other one was 1981, a good 3-4 feet over 2-3 days
The closest to a "winter" since I moved to London in '94 has been a night of -1c with a feeble attempt of snow that is gone before hitting the ground, mainly 5-10c, rain, grey etc etc.
So having snow that lasts more than 24 hours, with snow that piles up above 5 inches, I even shovelled snow for the first time since '91-92, and I even have had to get some long leggings which I haven't since '94.
Oh and I haven't been on a bike since the 2nd of December 2012 either, so I'm as desperate as you lot to get back on my bike.
But please let this wee boy have his enjoyment just for a moment
