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 !!!!

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

That looks rather lovely.
We've had between 18 and 37 snowflakes down here and everyone is bloody hysterical! -
I'm off to kenora next week, on the Ontario/Manitoba boarder. They've had close to 50cm of snow already and more coming!
Fantastic! -
Rob
I have around 4 inches of snow and have cancelled my days work today as my road is all but impassable.
Not hysterical very calm and serine as the snow is still falling , traffic gridlocked, wife informs me her work colleagues that left work 3 hours ago have not covered 2 miles from the office as yet ( smilies are not working CRAIG HELP)
If you are feeling hysterical Rob ,try rubbing some TTO on your forehead and have a lie down to count the snowflakes 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. -
Must have the technology gremlins attacking my photo attachment from http://www.flickr.com/photos/dockuhn/5155441641/in/set-72157625012461771/

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. -

Hurrah, can't wait for my drive from Surrey to the Lake District tonight, yeh!!! :cool:
PS: Sorry, no cool photo's to add, unless you want a photo of muddy sludge,. -
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

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. -
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. -
Still as you say I spose I can pelt the kids with snowballs that will take my mind off it !! :)
Cheers
