I just looked outside and between then and whenever I previously looked out, the place has been coated in a couple of inches of blasted white stuff. :(

Had hoped I'd be missing it here this year - been mostly clear skies and not even much to worry about with ice on windscreen.
Apparently that changed in the past 54 hours. :/

The damned stuff better not stick around! :@

There's no joy left in him, is there?

 

Unfortunately, it stopped snowing and started raining here last night, so it's just icy slush left.

Wow. That would be brilliant. If sticky.

I have no snow and I'm in scotchland. Clearly you English bastards have stolen it. This is why Scotland needs independence, for a fairer distribution of precipitation.

Imagine this.. Imagine that you are hungry. Imagine that there are heavy clouds outside, just the kind that look like they are promising lots of precipitation. Imagine that your nearest chip shop is closed so you have to find an alternative.
Imagine that your salvation comes in the shape of a pizza oven and some ready made pizza bases.
Now imagine that the clouds start pouring down not rain, but pizza toppings - anything you desire, just falling from the sky onto your awaiting pizza base.

 

What would you want it to rain Peter? What delicious toppings would you have falling from the sky?

It's inconvenient! I need food and stuff, which means going out in clumpy boots and hoping places are open and having to go slowly.

Then there's driving and steep hills and so on.

Get a grip and just do it. The snow hasn't stopped me from doing anything this weekend. In fact, it's meant I've done more because I fucking love the snow. Driving in it is fun!

Driving up and down steep hills and narrow ungritted country lanes is not fun!

Five or ten years ago I wouldn't be moaning about snow - I'd just be getting on with things. WTF is wrong with me now? :(

You're getting old!

I hate snow, well not snow so much but the ice it turns into when it re-freezes. I won't be going anywhere in those conditions if I can help it.

I don't fucking want to get old! :@

Join the club.

you've got a reason too though, right?

We've had it for weeks now, on and off at our altitude.

 

A colleague of mine, who lives higher up, got in her car this morning. It was in the garage, and the temperature gauge read -4C. By the time she'd got to the bottom of the drive it was reading -16C, and in the village it had reached -26.5C.

 

So quit your whinging.

Yeah, and I still can't run properly, even after a year. I'm so much shitter at badminton than I used to be :-(
