I'm amazed we're not as prepared as Norway, especially since we have just as much snow, and an infinite amount of money. Very odd :rolleyes:Quote:

You great big northern softie you. There is no such thing as being sick of snow. I'm actually sick of every one here at work referring to the snow as 'bad weather' when in fact its actually pretty nire on as good as weather can get :)Quote:

I've read, God knows where, that global warming is likely to shift the Gulf Stream further south, so British weather is likely to include both hotter summers and colder winters in future. Rather on a par with Vancouver, home of the last Winter Olympics.
Sorry, it's a pet hate I developed last year. Some people genuinely don't seem to understand why the government doesn't give us a snow plough each.Quote:

I'm loving the snow :w00t:
We had about 3 inches of snow last night and its snowing again this morning. Just revising my plans for Calderdale Way Relay Recce http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/t.../rolleyes2.gif
Some nice person had constructed this for us to take a breather on last night
Sleet turned to rain this morning.
We built a snowman on the park last night at about 1 in the morning :D
Came out the house this morning to the sound of trickling and dripping as the snow melts.
Been quite bad here (Hathersage) but have managed to get out a few times. Speedcrosses coped ok but have ordered some micro spikes to help in the ice. Today was the best day out in it but next time I'll wear sunglasses.

It was 6 degrees at the bus stop at 7.30 this morning so the temp must have dropped quite quickly
