    People are so stupid.
    Snowed in, it's good time to share with the neighbours in a worse case scenario (which won't happen), no need to panic buy.

    I nearly started a mini riot today when I went to my tiny local hardware store. I wanted a fold away shovel and yes they had one, one only and it had been on the shelf for a number of weeks. After the assistant gave me a demo of how it unfolds and the size when unfoldeed, and with snow predicted, suddenly others in the queue behind me or beside me wanted one after I also mentioned how I got stuck in my car in the snow the other week. I nearly let an old lady have it but thought "hang on, if it wasn't for me these people wouldn't have even thought about buying one'. And besides, little old ladies should be at home in bad weather not getting out and about driving, only us tax paying workers should be attempting to get out to help Gordo in his empire rebuilding

      Don't forget to keep an eye on them - if the milk bottles start building up on their doorstep, it'll save you a walk to the shop on slippery pavements.

          After finally being able to get my car moving yesterday it snowed again last night so stuck once more.

          Forecast is for clear skies and -2 but it's currently snowing heavily

            It's roasty toasty down here at Bradwell on Sea, and even the sun is shining...oh wait..
            Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

                    How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

                      Very light dusting in SW London now. Not really what you'd call a major weather event. We've had deeper frosts lately than this 'snow'.
