All good things come to those who wait.........

(No snow here but then I'm hardly in the UK)...

I thought your neck of the woods was part of the UK, Pete? An enclave, if you will.

It was freezing last night/early morning. Looks like I will be wearing my overcoat in bed tonight.

Your welcome to mine

If that happened here, the government would declare armageddon, cos it'll be the end of the world as far as they see it when their standard car tyres fail to get up a slight incline on that kind of snow....

And speaking of snow, the stuff that fell during the night left about half an inch, enough to cause mass chaos on the roads I'm sure, in this country that is...

It may once have been but there are an awful lot of people leaving......

No snow for me . . . . . . Sunny, blowy and bitter cold today!

We had about 30cm here Friday, nice and sunny today and the snow as nearly gone apart from this that I pilled up clearing the path and a bit of road.

Really??.....that's almost a foot in pre decimal...

Presently -19c and sunny, slight dusting last night-pic of my deck and my 3m bud:

If it's pre decimal snow, then it will be over 40 years old! . . . . . . it should have melted by now!!

I have not seen any snow this year.

Even happens here in norway with studded winter tyres, wrong speed in a swing on an icy road

Probably about 9 inch around my house Pete, but on higher ground almost a foot in pre decimal,

It took me 3 hours to do a usually half hour drive to get the wife to work the other morning

No, I literally meant fail to get up the hill, never mind flipping...

Unless it's a bus, they always seem to manage to get uphill...

 

[Captain Jack]

Proper winter tyres?

 

[2cvbloke]

Proper winter tyres?

Most likely so, unlike all the cars there just spinning tyres and wondering why they're not going anywhere...

 

[Channel Hopper]

Just looked out the window and there's a good inch (maybe two) outside the house.

 

[sonnetpete]

There's a covering of snow here and it was just below freezing when I got up....looks foggy too..
