Re: Snow Warning: Britain Set For Winter Blast
Was a bit damp this morning, but apart from that it has been a lovely sunny winter's day here.

Re: Snow Warning: Britain Set For Winter Blast
Good morning everyone
Once again the roads and pavements are icy
I haven't taken Emma a walk this morning as the pavements are too dangerous
Please take care if you must travel today
Kind regards Stephen

Aye, looks a li'l frosty out there. Cars misted up and turning white.
Could turn into snow before long.

Re: Snow Warning: Britain Set For Winter Blast
I have to venture out shortly, I'm really not looking forward to it, I have had a couple of quite painful falls in the past so that makes me extremely wary when it's icy.

It was very icy last night; my car was properly frozen at 8.30pm - which meant I had to defrost it before I could go home from work!

Re: Snow Warning: Britain Set For Winter Blast
Good morning everyone
Whilst it seems the thaw has started
The pavements here in Withington are dangerous
It has started to rain and this has made the pavements extremely slippery due to the lethal combination of rain and ice
Please take care
Kind regards Stephen

Re: Snow Warning: Britain Set For Winter Blast
I don't think it has stopped raining today; puddles everywhere. The forecast isn't for it to freeze thankfully, as that would cause utter carnage!

Hi Geoff,
Because, the 'Shortest Day' is still 24hours 'long'.
Only try that out if you're sober.
Good luck

Spring must be around the corner. We have crocus bulbs appearing. And a wasp in the house.
