    Winter's come early to the Northern Hemisphere with some spectacular conditions across Blighty's hills. Nice to be able to take a day or two off work and enjoy the majestic splendour. Get these thermals out..... ;)

    It might look spectacular, BUT....I got caught in it at Newcastle and missed my connection out of Heathrow !!!!
     
  3. That is absolutley stunning Mark!

    Traffic around North Kent slowed to a standstill this morning. Primarily because a Gritting lorry broke down on the A249!

    Oh you have to love the Irony!!!
     
  4. Minus 17 Monday morning

    Minus 20 this morning

    and here is talk of minus 23 tomorrow and then minus 20 of Thursday.

    Same weather pattern from Russia which brought cold and snow to the UK last year.

    19 days till 3 weeks in OZ and summer not that I´m counting!!

    ps Mark you do take a very nice picture.
     
  5. Top one's not mine - I'm parked in the snow band waiting on Harpic getting his act together.
     
  6. Here are some photos of snowy Lake Tahoe this last Thanksgiving weekend with the Kirby clan. Very early winter here in California so far!

    You know my driving is the most solid part of my game Del ;-) It was actually a 7 iron approach which I caught a little skinny so it didn't quite make it over the brook which guards the green. Couldn't feel my fingers for 20 minutes after that one...

    It took nearly an hour back in the club house for the 'mouse to come out the house' again :eek:

    Here we go again,
    goodaye steve, I checked Wisconsin's weather, at the moment -3.7 deg C, and the average winter temp is ~ -6 deg C ???

    And I was reading you had a hot summer,

    "In fact, of the 1,218 weather stations in the contiguous United States, with data going back to 1895, 153 locations recorded their hottest summer on record and nearly one in three stations recorded average temperatures among their five hottest on record.

    Even more telling is that nighttime lows were the hottest ever recorded at nearly one in four weather stations in NOAA's Historic Climatology Network. This means that at 278 stations the average nighttime low temperatures for June, July and August 2010 were hotter than at any time since 1895."

    Bit of a worry?

    This was from the first weekend in November in Western North Carolina. Made me mad because I had left my skis back in Alabama figuring they wouldn't lay enough of a base down at the ski area in 36 hours, but I was wrong. It was in the upper 20's in Alabama that same weekend. But, we still have roses, mums, and similar things blooming.

    But, that first photo with the climbers to the left just makes me hyperventilate thinking about that height.

  27. Spend a good portion of this AM shoveling snow to get the cars out and a good deal more pushing cars belonging to idiots who don't know how to drive in it. Got the kids to nursery no problems. Going to southampton latter. Bloody fuss over nothing. If the gritters actually did any gritting, the people on the roads had an average IQ higher than 4 and the railways were'nt run by a load of gibbons who've been strategically shaved and put into suits we'd all be fine!

    On the Up side, a friend of ours, who drives a 4X4, is driving another friend of ours, who she has never met, from the back of beyond to the hospital for her chemotherapy today. In a world full of B*****ds who will slit your throat for the last loaf of bread in the shop its rather nice to be reminded of how many good people there are in the world. Weather like this makes them show up a lot more.
     
  28. Del, get out there and snowball the neighbours (While mulling a bottle of vino for when you come back in doors). I want some snow!!!!!

    Si
    !!

    Got two of the Grand kids having a sleepover tonight, I think I will be pressganged into a snowball fight with them at some stage !!

    If not the other two are coming tomorrow as well, so that will be all 4 against Grandad Del !!!

    Wanna come and take my place?? ;-)

    Cheers

  31. Then my advice to you is to use your time wisely. Stock pile secret caches of snowballs at strategic points within the field of play. Then when they try to rush you, you'll be able to counter with a barrage of returned fire.

    You could also use your time to make a trebuchet... Am I taking this a little too seriously?;)

    Would love to get involved. I love snow.
     
  32. Nah.

    I was going to rig some kind of restraining system for the snow on the roof, attatched to a rope, then put a few fan heaters in the loft.

    My best moment in the snow was to put the handbrake on at the top of the railway bridge which leads down into our estate. Slid a good 100 yards down the hill with the wheels not turning, using the steering like a rudder. Legendary fun.

    Pull the rope, instant avalanche.

    Yep it's nice for a while mate BUT its been here a bit too long and too much of it. My Son was unable to get to work in the city AGAIN today, he's working from home so we are having the kids. Roberts Rant was about right. The reason they recon we have loads of salt is coz they aint puttin it on the roads !!! I live in a side road in which the snow will have to melt coz the council will not salt it. Only 4x4's can get out up to now rear wheel drives dont stand a chance. Not good for business for me :-(
    Still as you say I spose I can pelt the kids with snowballs that will take my mind off it !! :)
    Cheers
