I often wake up to find it hard, but our snow isn't really settling on the roads, albeit the trees look pretty.

Very few howls of impending doom from the Southern Broadcasting Corporation yet.

A little less analogue, and a lot more crap.

It is very sunny at the moment, but annoyingly cold.

Somewhere in England (possibly?)!
Reported by the Daily Express, they always come out with this scaremongering every Winter. I suppose one year they might get it right!
I hope you don't actually buy the "Daily Depression" - the "Daily Wail" is bad enough (unfortunately, SMWBO demands we get it, and so I do "peruse" it :rolleyes:) !

I try not to look at online versions of newpapers and especially those two mentioned above. The Express has been carrying dire warnings of 'snowmageddon' for a few years now. They used to obtain their forecasts from the brother of a certain political party leader.......

I just use Weather Underground's 10-day forecast feature and decide for myself if it's going to be good or bad weather... :lol:

I tend to stick my head outside the door....if it comes back dry, it isn't raining...

I see there is an amber warning for heavy snow in London on Tuesday - no doubt it'll be reported as if its the end of the world by the news channels! Whilst of course the rest of us carrfy on as normal in the winter :D
